Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 86

"What do I have to do now, Daddy?"

"Stay by my side and watch what I do," Adam said while walking to his desk. "I will pass you some of our company's information for you to look through. Our company mainly produces circuit boards. You need to be familiar with what we do."

"Got it," Kendall said before turning around to pour her father a glass of warm water.

"I usually take a cup of coffee before the afternoon. I have a mini pantry in my office. Why don't you make me a cup of coffee using the coffee beans in the pantry?"

"Alright." She then brought the glass of warm water to him. "Have some warm water, Daddy. I will go make you your cup of coffee right now."

With that, he took the glass and had two sips of the drink.

Under Adam's instruction, Kendall walked into the pantry and brewed the coffee.

As she got busy with her task, Adam took out some company information and sample layout of their products. After she brought out the freshly brewed coffee, he handed the documents to her and said gently, "You haven't got the faintest idea about the operation and products of our company now, have you? Carefully look through everything that I am giving you now. You can ask me or anyone else if there is something you don't understand. There are too many types of circuit boards, but you will have to memorize every single one of them. That is the only way you bring the company profit—talk

business with people and secure orders. Our workshop is right behind the office building. You can drop by and walk around the major departments of the workshop. The more you expose yourself to them, the more you can learn. You should also be polite to the employees of the company. They have all been here longer than you have while carrying different responsibilities. The employees of each department are very familiar with each step necessary to go through to produce the company's products. Get acquainted with them and ask them for advice, and then refer to the sample layouts. It should make it easier for you to get familiar with the job."

He was teaching his daughter to not put herself on a pedestal because of her status and look down on the employees of the company.

A giant company like them could only have its success today because of both the higher ups and the tens of thousands of normal employees.

"Understood, Daddy."

Kendall was raised in an ordinary household before she returned to the Parker Family. She was never an arrogant person who would look down on others.

"Kelly also started out as a normal employee," Adam added. "She was able to mingle with the other employees and climbed up the career ladder step by step with her ability. She had truly won hearts to become the Vice President of the Parker Corporation."

Kendall's expression froze when she heard this.

She could tell that her father was hinting at her that she had to perform better than Kelly did if she

wanted to beat Kelly and be the successor of the company. Kendall had to make everyone in the company acknowledge her with her results.

Even though the Parker Corporation was her family's company, there were many old-timers who served the company. She might be Adam's biological daughter, but the seniors of the company would not hesitate to drag her down if she couldn't prove that she was capable of being their leader.

"I will try my best, Daddy," she reassured him.

"I believe in you. Go to the Human Resource Department and look for Manager Godwin. He will help you with the employee on-boarding procedure and pass you your employee uniform. You have to wear that when you come to work next Monday onward. The position you hold now is my secretary, so you won't have your own office. I will let Miss Holmes prepare a desk for you, and you will be sharing an office space with her. Miss Holmes is also an old employee of our company. You can learn a lot from her."

After seeing Kendall solemnly listening to his lecture without uttering a word, Adam finally let her off. “Alright, off you go for your on-boarding procedure," he said.

"Okay."

With that, she turned around and left the president's office.

…

After Cameron stepped out of the elevator and was out of Kendall's field of vision, she immediately called Kelly, who was currently at Orapolis General Hospital.

That was how Kelly came to find out that her younger sister had become an official employee of the Parker Corporation.

Despite everything, she had still failed at preventing Kendall from joining the company.

It was all because of her own mother who was holding her back.

Thinking of Charlotte's attitude, Kelly had a feeling that her adoptive mother had purposely asked her to take time off from work to take care of her biological mother, when in fact, Charlotte was taking the opportunity to let Kendall join the company.

Even if she didn't ask for a leave, Kendall would still enter the company eventually if she wanted to. Still, Kelly could secretly plot something and make Kendall voluntarily quit.

Kelly couldn't help but resent Charlotte, who had loved her for the past 20 years, because of how she had instantly turned hostile as soon as she found out that Kelly wasn't her birth daughter.

Sally was lying on the hospital bed when she watched Kelly push open the door to the ward while entering the ward with her mobile phone still in her hand. Sally immediately felt bad and apologetically blurted out, "Kelly, I am feeling much better today. I know how busy you are. You don't have to keep me company here. Your older brother can take care of me. You should go back to work."

Because of the good environment Kelly grew up in, Kelly had received the best education and was excellent in many things. She was already the Vice President of Parker Corporation at such a young age. Sally was sure that Kelly could have become the next head of the Parker Family if only Charlotte hadn't found out the truth about Kelly and Kendall being swapped when they were babies.

As much as Sally was glad that her biological daughter was such a brilliant person, she also blamed herself for her inability to raise Kendall to be more outstanding. She couldn't help but feel apologetic toward Kendall and the rest of the Parker Family.

"I already took leave for a few days. I will only return to the company after my break is over."

Truth was, Kelly found it difficult to get closer to her birth mother.

She would even always talk to Sally in a cold voice. However, Sally didn't mind it. She was happy about the fact that her daughter would come and see her.

"Would you like some water? I will get you a glass," Kelly offered.

"I am not thirsty. Come take a seat, Kelly. Let me take a good look at you."

"What's there to see? It is not like you haven't seen me before. Go ahead and sleep if you aren't thirsty. I will be keeping an eye on your IV drip."

After brushing her mother off, Kelly pulled a chair over to sit on and began scrolling through the news on her phone.

Nelson had just gone out to buy something he needed.

He would definitely scold Kelly again if he had seen the way she was behaving.

He hated the way his sister treated their mother.

She could not come if she didn't want to, because everytime she did, she would make it seem as though she was forced to be here with that sour expression on her face.

Her visits would always leave Sally heartbroken.

Only Nelson and Sally knew how the latter would wet her pillow with tears in the dead of the night.

After hearing Kelly's response, Sally felt somewhat embarrassed to continue talking to her. She only lay there quietly while she stared at Kelly.

"Are you sleeping or not? I am going out for a walk if you are. It will take a while before your IV drip session is complete."

Not liking the way her mother kept her eyes on her, Kelly swiftly stood up and left with her phone in her hand.

She then gave Jackson a call as soon as she was out.

She caringly asked after he picked up the call, "Has the crisis your company is in been resolved, Jackson? Did Master Dylan meet you yesterday?"

"No." Jackson sighed, exhaustion dripping from his voice. "Kelly, I am really annoyed. And I am busy, so I can't talk right now. I am hanging up."

Hearing that, she suggested, "You have to make sure you rest, Jackson. You can beg Kendall to help you if you can't handle this anymore. Regardless of how Master Dylan may treat her, she has a lot

more chances to get in touch with Dylan than us because she lives at the Coleman Mansion now. I am sure she will help you beg Master Dylan for leniency, and maybe say a nice thing or two. It just might work."

As much as Sally was glad that her biological daughter was such a brilliant person, she also blamed herself for her inability to raise Kendall to be more outstanding. She couldn't help but feel apologetic toward Kendall and the rest of the Parker Family.
