Love Knows No Bounds novel (Kendall and Dylan)
Chapter 540

Frank had arrived with his guards in tow. Naturally, ordinary employees wouldn't be able to stand in his way.

Emma specifically waited right outside the elevator.

As soon as the doors opened, she did her best to block Frank from going any further.

Frank cocked his eyebrows and eyed her coldly, but he didn't get his men to push her away.

He knew that she was Dylan's secretary, as well as Kendall and Amelia's friend.

Knowing who she was, he wasn't going to harm her in any way. He wouldn't dare to.

"President Mendelson, President Coleman has said that if you're here to vent to him or ask for his advice, you'll need to pay him. You'll need to head to the bank and withdraw a few hundred thousand in cash first before he sees you."

The Mendelsons' bodyguards were speechless.

Frank was silent for a moment before he instructed the bodyguards behind him, "Head to the nearest bank as quickly as possible and withdraw 150 thousand in cash."

"Yes, President Mendelson."

The bodyguards went off to do as told.

"You can wait in the VIP lounge first, President Mendelson."

Emma smiled as she waited to show him the way.

Frank pressed his lips together in silence before humming in acknowledgment.

It was his way of tacitly agreeing to Emma's arrangement.

Emma led Frank to the VIP lounge and made a pot of tea for him.

"Please have some tea, President Mendelson. I'll get back to work now."

Frank hummed in acknowledgment once more.

Emma left the lounge after serving Frank a cup of tea.

She went back to her office and carried on with her heaping pile of work.

After deciding to join Parker Corporation as Kendall's secretary, she started finalizing her work and sorting through everything in preparation for handing over the tasks to the person replacing her.

Technically, she should be handing these tasks over to Toddy.

It was hard to replace a secretary who met Dylan's standards in such a short amount of time. Since she was leaving for Parker Corporation, Toddy would have to replace her temporarily. After all, he played the roles of both general secretary and assistant.

Frank sat in the VIP lounge alone and drank his tea.

Emma had made him a pot of good quality green tea. It suited his tastes fairly well.

Earlier on, Frank had been a little rash when he decided to come here.

Now that he was clear-headed again, he figured that he was already here anyway, so he didn't want to leave just like that.

Still, he didn't expect Dylan to be this calculative. I just want to talk to him, but he insists on getting paid for it.

However, if Dylan had been the one who needed his help, he would've demanded payment too. He wasn't going to offer his help for free.

Time was extremely precious for men like them who ran their own companies. They didn't want to waste a single second.

Dylan had only asked for a few hundred thousand, and for a man in Dylan's position, that was considered a bargain.

Meanwhile, Dylan was busy with work, but no matter how busy he was, he could still replace the time to send a text to his beloved wife.

He informed her that Emma had decided to join Parker Corporation.

Kendall was thrilled and texted him back to ask if he had time for a call.

Dylan smiled and made the call himself.

"Don't you have meetings every morning, darling? Am I keeping you from your work?"

"Not at the moment. The meeting is at ten this morning."

"That's good. Did Emma choose to come over willingly? You didn't force her, right?"

"Do you think your husband is an unreasonable man who'd force someone else to do such a thing?" Dylan asked instead.

"Of course not," Kendall quickly refuted. "In my eyes, my husband is the most reasonable man in the world. He'd never act unreasonably, not even for his family. He's a handsome, good-tempered man. My love for him is taller than the highest mountain deeper than the deepest ocean."

Dylan's chuckles came through the phone.

"It's been a while since I heard you showering me with empty flattery, Kendall. Now that I'm hearing it again, I replace that I do miss it after all."

Kendall giggled. "This isn't empty flattery. I mean every word I said. I love my husband dearly, ardently, most deeply."

"You love me so, but you don't understand me, hm? I'm not someone who never behaves unreasonably. I'm a very protective person, especially when it comes to you. Whenever you're involved, I'll always stand by your side, no matter whether you're right or wrong. Therefore, I'm fairly unreasonable too."

Kendall was a little stupefied. "Well, I'm the exception."

"Yes. You're the exception. You're the only one in my entire life."

"I love you so much, darling. I wish I could get you in bed right this instant."

"You can have your way with me tonight when we get home."

Kendall was speechless.

The couple had been working very hard to let their baby come back to them as soon as possible. Kendall might not even be able to head to work every morning if Dylan wasn't trying to be considerate of his beloved wife's aching body.

"By the way, Frank's here to see me."

Dylan knew that Kendall was just used to flirting with him and wasn't truly in the mood to get things on, so he thoughtfully changed the subject to avoid making her feel embarrassed. She would blame him for being a poor conversationalist again and say that it was his fault for making the conversation awkward.

"What does he want?" Kendall went along with it to get over the awkward silence.

"I don't know. I haven't seen him yet. I asked the staff to turn him away, but if they can't, then to tell him he needs to pay for my time, so I'll only meet him once he withdraws a few hundred thousand in cash first. If I don't make it harder for him to see me, then he'll keep coming over every few days and take up even more of my time. It'd be a loss for me."

"A few hundred thousand to him is the same as a few hundred to a regular person," Kendall replied. "He has more than enough money. If he tries to take up any more of your time again, you should tell him that he needs to pay at least a million before you'll see him."

"I'll tell him later that next time, he needs to have at least a million ready before he can see me," Dylan agreed.

"That's more like it. Why shouldn't we profit off of Frank if he's serving himself up on a silver platter? We don't often get a chance to take his money. Think about it, darling. Wouldn't it be so fun to keep pocketing your mortal enemy's money? If nothing goes wrong, then in a few more weeks, we'll know whether or not our baby's coming back to us. If our baby girl comes back, then we'll need to start setting aside money for her milk and diapers. It's very expensive to raise a child, you know. There's no end to things you'd have to pay for. Don't they say that parenting's the biggest investment in life? We're going to need a lot of money to raise our baby."

Dylan chuckled. "Don't worry. As long as I'm around, both you and the baby won't ever suffer in any way."

He was going to give his wife and daughter all the best things life had to offer.

Knock, Knock!

Someone was knocking on the door.

Dylan guessed that it was Frank who had his entrance fee ready.

Thus, he said to his beloved wife, "Frank's coming in, Kendall, so I have to go. Why don't we have lunch together today, if you're free? If you have a business meeting, we'll talk more when we get home."

Kendall had taken over several difficult clients from Kelly and Kelly purposely brought it up with the veterans at the company. Everyone had their eyes on Kendall now.

If Kendall was able to handle these clients, then it proved her capabilities, but if she couldn't, then the company veterans would not approve of her quite so easily.

Naturally, Adam could still hand the company over to his daughter. At most, these veteran employees would simply move to a different company.

"I'm not free for lunch today. I have an appointment with Mr. Read."

Dylan remained silent for a moment before asking, "Mr. Read? The one who looks as handsome as me?"
