Chapter 600
Instead of driving into the office building like she usually did, Emma simply pulled up at the entrance. "Would I even
need to speed if it weren't for you?" she said while getting out of the car.
"What are you doing? Are you not going to park it in the parking lot?"
However, Emma just grabbed her bag and jogged into the building, not forgetting to tell security not to let Toddy in.
To that, the security on duty glanced at Toddy, who had just gotten out of the car, and hummed a response to
Emma at once.
The young woman might be new in the company, but Dylan was the one who transferred her over. Plus, she was
Adam's secretary here. Hence, no one dared ignore her.
"Emma? Emma." Toddy finally realized why Emma chose not to park the car in the building.
Shen wanted to leave him behind, and as if that wasn't enough, she even told the guards not to let him in.
Fine, I won't go in. I'll just wait in your car.
Meanwhile, Emma jogged into the building, and seeing that the elevator door was about to close, she shouted,
"Wait! Wait for me, please!"
Someone inside pressed the buttons in time.
It was Kelly, and Emma quickly entered the elevator after a split-second stun from seeing the former.
With that, Kelly pressed the close button while everyone else stood silently in the car.
The young woman stood upright next to the elevator door, with her back facing everyone else. She was in a
standard office suit, and her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, revealing her fair, slender neck.
Despite being pregnant, she was still in great shape, and the married women in the company would gossip behind
her back about how they couldn't tell she was pregnant.
Meanwhile, Emma stood beside Kelly, who suddenly spoke out of the blue. "Miss Holmes would come to work half
an hour early every day."
Jessie was dedicated to her job, and she would indeed arrive very early for work. By the time Adam showed up,
she'd have readied his coffee and the newspaper, allowing him to read while drinking his morning coffee.
All in all, Adam felt worry-free with her around.

Jessie had even lectured Kendall back when the latter often asked for leaves. After all, those dedicated to their jobs
hated those who worked in fits and starts the most.
If it wasn't because Kendall was Adam's daughter, Jessie wouldn't have cut her any slack.
Of course, Emma knew Kelly was insinuating her tardiness. At that, she answered with a smile, "Well, I should learn
from Miss Holmes."
"I wonder if you did this too when you worked for Master Dylan," Kelly commented plainly after side-eyeing the
young woman. "I doubt so. Do you think you can ignore Parker Corporation's policies just because you're besties
with Kendall? Miss Finley, Kendall's merely an assistant."
At that, she ridiculed, "She won't be able to protect you."
Regardless, Emma remained smiling. "My work hours were very flexible back when I was President Coleman's
secretary. As long as I got everything sorted out, Master Dylan never said anything even if I showed up for work at
noon."
Dylan was used to having her as a secretary. In actuality, she had a few junior secretaries that worked under her,
and she could assign tasks to them if she had to deal with a private matter. As long as the job didn't affect Dylan's
work, he would typically let her be.
Of course, it was likely because of Toddy.
Sure, the man didn't reciprocate her feelings, but he did mentor her single-handedly.
Dylan only let her off the hook because Toddy was her mentor.
"I must say that you're scaring me, Vice President Parker. I am still new at Parker Corporation, but I didn't break any
policies, did I? Nor did I wreak havoc because I know Ms. Parker. I do my work diligently every day. If I did
something wrong, I'm sure Miss Holmes and President Parker would criticize me for it. I'm later than usual today,
but I'm not late for work."
At that, Kelly's gaze turned grim, and she bore icily into Emma.
Meanwhile, the other employees backed up as much as they could, fearing the fight would misfire.
Dylan had assigned Emma to help Ms. Parker, so it was normal that Kelly would target Emma. However, the latter
hadn't done anything wrong. It seemed that Kelly fired the wrong bullet this round.
No doubt Kelly was getting increasingly panicked. After all, Kendall had proven herself, signing deals one after
another.
After all, what mattered to those working in the company was if the successor could generate revenue for the
company and manage it well. As long as the company was generating revenue, it would continue to make money,
and the employees could stay in Parker Corporation.
That said, Kelly remained a little stronger than Kendall. After all, Kelly was the heir Adam had personally trained.
The young woman began using her semester breaks to train in the company when she was still in high school, and
by the time she graduated and entered the company, she had already gained a lot of work experience.
One year after becoming an official employee, she was appointed the vice president of the company, which no one
opposed. That proved just how capable Kelly was.
One year after becoming an official employee, she was appointed the vice president of the company, which no one

Kendall, on the other hand, joined the company only recently, and this was completely new to her as well. One
could say that she worked her way up from the bottom, and it showed that Kendall was a promising talent when she
could perform so well in a matter of months.
What was more, Kendall had Coleman Empire Holdings behind her back.
Truthfully, if Kelly were to succeed the company, who would be willing to support Parker Corporation if crisis befell?
However, if Kendall were to succeed, Coleman Empire Holdings wouldn't look away should Parker Corporation fall
into crisis.
Was there even a person in Orapolis who didn't know how much Dylan spoiled his beloved wife?!
Kelly's grim glare did nothing to Emma. Having worked alongside Dylan for years, she had experienced and
withstood Dylan's even colder and more malicious gazes.
As the elevator ascended, the other employees behind them left the car one after another until Kelly and Emma
were the only ones remaining.
"Kendall's not in today, is she?" Kelly suddenly spoke up again, and Emma remained distant from Kelly. "I just
arrived. I don't know if Ms. Parker has come in. But even if she doesn't come in, I'm sure she has already notified
President Parker."
"Given the rate she's taking leaves, Parker Corporation will surely close down in less than a year if it's handed to
her." Kelly snorted disdainfully. "When the time comes, Coleman Empire Holdings won't be saving Parker
Corporation but acquiring it. Do you all really think you have nothing to worry about if you hand the company to
Kendall? Huh, Master Dylan's a ruthless businessman. Just wait and see."
"That's a future yet to happen," said Emma plainly. "A laborer like me wouldn't dare make any comments."

However, my dad is used to the way Miss Holmes works. Why not consider working for me?"
She will be of great help if I can have her join me.
One yeor ofter becoming on officiol employee, she wos oppointed the vice president of the compony, which no one

"Given the rote she's toking leoves, Porker Corporotion will surely close down in less thon o yeor if it's honded to
