Love Knows No Bounds novel (Kendall and Dylan) -
Chapter 547
"Well then, see you later."
"See you later." Kendall hung up.
Amelia asked, "Going to see a client?"
"Yep. In a minute."
Envious, Amelia said, "I'd love to go to work like you, Kendall. Being a businesswoman is better than relying on someone for survival. I would like to work, but my family wouldn't let me. They said we have enough money, and I don't have to work because I'm already rich. Besides, I will be marrying off to some rich guy, so there is much less of a need for me to work. They even said that my job is to raise a family, not work a job."
Amelia complained that her family was too traditional. She much preferred to have freedom like Kendall to do anything she wanted. When she brought Kendall's case up, her mother argued that Kendall was different. Kendall was the only child in her family, so she must take over the family business. If she had any brothers, she wouldn't even have to work. Her parents wouldn't let her. Amelia had no arguments left after that.
"Just do whatever you want. You don't have to work in your family's company, and I don't think your family can force you not to work. It's not a bad thing for the rich to build a career for themselves. It's actually a good thing. Women need to be independent. We only have ourselves to rely on.
"If you can't even fight for your rights in your own family, then you're going to have it bad when you move into your husband's home. If his family has a lot of rules like Dylan's, then all you can do is be a stay-at- home mom and live under someone else's shadow for the rest of your life. I think you should do whatever you want. If your mother blames me for brainwashing you, tell her to come to me. I'll convince her."
Amelia smiled at that. "I can't do whatever I want anyway. To be honest, I never wanted to work in a company. All I want is a coffee shop of my own. I'll prepare some bookshelves with some books on them so that I can have a cup of coffee and read at the same time. Ah, what a peaceful life."
"Not bad. You can start to plan for it. You should tell Frank about it. I think he'll support you as well." Frank doesn't seem like the guy who'd ask his girlfriend or wife to be a stay-at-home mom.
Amelia blushed again and shot her friend a look. "Why would I ever ask him? It's not like he's my boyfriend. He's just my employer. There's nothing between us."
Kendall chuckled at her response. "Yeah, yeah. I know." You guys are going to date eventually.
They chatted for a while more. Then, John called and informed Kendall of his arrival. Amelia decided to take her leave just then, and Kendall went down to see her off. I'll show John around the company after Amy leaves. "Just do whatever you want, Amy. You hung on to your hobby even though a ton of people found it unacceptable. You don't have to care about what they have to say. Just do what makes you happy."
Amelia nodded. "I will. Let's have a meal together sometimes. I miss your snacks. Frank's office has a cabinet full of snacks, and I got a box of snacks from him. The container was beautiful, but the snacks aren't as nice as yours."
"I'll make some snacks for you when I have time."
Amelia teased, "Don't tell Master Dylan you're coming to my place to make snacks. You know how your man is. He might kill me out of jealousy."
"Well, he won't do anything to you. He's only going to..." Pounce at me at night. Kendall didn't say it out loud out of embarrassment.
Even though Amelia wasn't married, she was old enough to know about the birds and the bees. She wiggled her eyebrows and smirked at her friend.
Kendall then changed the topic, "So, Frank's office has a lot of snacks, huh?"
That question wiped Amelia's smile off her face. "Yeah. It's weird, isn't it? Not like he's a fan of snacks. I don't understand why he would prepare so many snacks in his office. Perhaps, it's for his guests."
"Do you happen to like those snacks?"
"Yeah, most of it... Wait, are you trying to say that he did it for me? No way. Rather, I think he did it for you. We have the same taste in snacks, after all." I bet he did it for her, no doubt about it.
Kendall didn't say anything to that. No, I'm pretty sure he did it for you. Sure, we have similar tastes in snacks, but I don't eat a lot of snacks. However, you do. Every time you're bored, you'd devour bags of snacks like a piglet.
A car slowly approached Parker Corporation, but then someone stopped it. The one who stopped the car went around it and banged at the car's window.
Kendall stopped in her tracks abruptly.
"What is it?" Amelia asked in concern.
Kendall was looking outside the company. Following her gaze, Amelia checked out what Kendall was looking at. The ladies were merely a few dozen yards away from the exit, so they could see clearly what was going on outside.
"That's Mrs. Zorn," explained Kendall calmly. "Yasmine's mother."
"Why is she here? It seems like she's been waiting outside for a while," said Amelia.
"The car she'd just stopped belongs to Kelly."
Oh, I see. "They say Kelly's dating Brian while pregnant with Jackson's kid. Brian's been treating her like she was his goddess years ago, but she wouldn't even accept his love. I wondered why at first, but then I finally realized the reason after her scandal with Jackson was exposed. All this time, she's been playing hard to get. Brian's nothing but a backup plan for her.
"She knew he liked her but wouldn't accept his love, yet she remained friends with his sister. She kept going to their place so he would never forget about her. Then, her plan backfired, and she's now pregnant with Jackson's kid. Right after Jackson has been sent to prison, she quickly hooks up with Brian. Man, she's a completely different person now."
Kelly was a haughty and arrogant woman. She looked down on Amelia's hobby. Even when they were to meet at an event, she would never even spare Amelia a moment of her time, nor would she befriend Amelia. The only people she would talk to were ladies like Yasmine, Laura, and Alice.
"Brian loves her deeply. He's blinded by love, but his mother isn't."
Kendall knew why Jacqueline came. Back when she attended an event with her parents, she talked to Yasmine about the matter. Yasmine must have brought it up with her mother, and now she's here.
Kelly had lunch with Brian. They parted ways moments ago, and Kelly came back to the company. However, she didn't expect Jacqueline to show up, and it made her nervous. She was scared of Jacqueline's intimidating attitude, but she composed herself quickly. Not like she saw me with Brian. I have nothing to be afraid of. With that thought in mind, she got out of the car.
