Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1399 A Realization

The workers were quick and moved the equipment onto the truck in a few minutes.

Darcy watched them move the equipment as she pondered on her matters and suddenly realized something.

She had asked that man to move quickly two days ago. However, the center only realized the problems with the equipment the day before and nothing else. Kendrick also discovered the issue at the center on this day.

Could it be that the man realized Kendrick had discovered them and didn't tell her? He even blackmailed her for money when he had already stopped taking action.

Trash! Darcy cursed the man inwardly despite maintaining a calm face.

Chloe had been observing Darcy's expression as she was interested in such things and what happened with Kendrick before.

Since Darcy was Kendrick's trusted assistant, it would make things easy for him if Chloe found something on her.

"We're done, Darcy. The new equipment has been locked in place." The employee in charge of the job walked up to her and buttered up to Darcy.

Everyone in the company had always wondered about the relationship between Darcy and Kendrick since the woman had always shown tremendous understanding of Kendrick and hadn't made any mistakes on the job. There were rumors in the company that she was Kendrick's wife, but no one was

able to prove it.

The employee smiled as she thought of that. She wouldn't let this opportunity slide by.

Darcy glanced at the employee and nodded with satisfaction at the employee's good looks and seriousness at work. Perhaps I can use her.

"Report to the secretary's department. You'll work under me from now on," Darcy said. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

The employee smiled brightly at her words, but she didn't make it too obvious.

"I'll take my leave now if there's nothing else, Miss Yelton. Give me a call if anything comes up. I'll pass the message to Mr. Hofstead." Then, Darcy turned around to leave like an arrogant peacock.

Chloe gazed in the direction Darcy left and concluded that she must be hiding something from everyone.

That employee naturally heard the underlying meaning in Darcy's words and knew that she didn't like Chloe. As such, she stopped being as respectful to Chloe as she did in the beginning and turned around to leave proudly as well. After she caught up to Darcy, she walked in a humbler manner behind her.

However, Chloe didn't mind that employee and was curious about the culture at Hofstead Corporation.

Then, she entered the research center to make some arrangements since they would have to work overtime to catch up on the progress they lost.

"Chloe." A familiar voice sounded behind her.

"Nicole? Why brought you here?" Chloe was surprised to see Nicole as she watched her walk toward her with her gradually growing stomach.

"It's dusty here. Let's head in to talk." Chloe realized that as they were moving the equipment just now and rushed to lead Nicole away.

Nicole didn't say anything and followed Chloe's footsteps to a cleaner place.

They arrived at the lounge, and Nicole glanced around, somehow relieved that the place hadn't changed much.

"We're going to redo all the experiments. Hopefully, we can catch up."

Chloe felt that this was the only way. As long as they could catch up, it didn't matter if she had to work overtime.
