Chapter 1445 The Real Reason

"Kendrick, I'll walk Miss Anderson out," Darcy proposed, her smile directed at Nicole. She then turned to Kendrick,

seeking his approval.

Darcy's conduct was impeccable, leaving Kendrick with no room for criticism. Even if he had any, he couldn't voice

it directly.

It dawned on him that Nicole's focus this day was Darcy, not himself.

"Alright, just remember to return early," Kendrick responded with a forced smile.

He had no other option but to consent. He realized he would need to tread carefully around Darcy in the future.

With Kendrick's approval, Darcy turned and followed Nicole out. They exited one in front of the other.

Kendrick remained seated in his place. Despite being alone in the room, he seemed lost in thought, sitting quietly,

his gaze fixed on the floor.

Nicole and Darcy, indeed, headed to the apartment after exiting the restaurant, walking silently the entire journey.

Darcy's mind wandered back to her earlier encounter with Chloe at the mall. Chloe had informed her that Nicole

and Kendrick were at this restaurant.

Initially, Darcy was skeptical of Chloe's words, but after a brief, secluded conversation, Chloe revealed something

that made her rush over.

'Do you want to know the real reason Kendrick is with you?'

Darcy had always been perplexed about why Kendrick would choose her, but she had also been in denial. However,

Chloe's words stirred up her underlying unease.

"Nicole, may I address you as such?" Darcy broke the silence, her expression turning serious as she looked at

Nicole.

If she didn't have feelings for Kendrick, perhaps she could be a better person now.

"Of course. You used to go by your first name, Eunice, right?" Nicole nodded, unbothered by the form of address.

"Yes." Darcy nodded, acknowledging it frankly. "Chloe mentioned something today that I can't comprehend, and I

hope you can clarify it."

Nicole was slightly taken aback. Perhaps Darcy wasn't as detestable as she appeared but was merely being

manipulated by Kendrick and forced to act in such a manner.

After all, how could someone who had been Kendrick's secretary for so many years be blinded by such interests?

"You've been with Kendrick for quite some time now, haven't you? If he was interested in you, why did he only

confirm his relationship with you recently and at such a critical juncture?"

Nicole spoke slowly, in Restradian, keeping the volume within earshot of both of them just in case Kendrick sent

someone to eavesdrop on things he shouldn't hear.

"You may not be aware of what happened recently, but that company, after so many years, suddenly resurfaced

with news. Don't you find that peculiar?" Nicole observed Darcy's expressions after each sentence, and it was quite

fortuitous that Darcy's expressions perfectly revealed what she was thinking at the moment, whether Darcy knew

about it or not.

"Wait, you also know about—" Darcy stopped herself mid-sentence, hastily covering her mouth, realizing that she

had reacted too surprised. However, she also understood that Nicole had already learned about Kendrick's

involvement in another small company. It seemed that Kendrick was destined to fail.

"Soon, Kendrick's company will face a crisis. At that time, he will sweet-talk you into taking the blame. You can

choose to assist him or not, but the information you hold can also be given to me or not," Nicole said as they stood

together outside the apartment building, with no one else around, only the faint sound of the wind.

Darcy frowned slightly, her gaze fixed on Nicole, not responding immediately.

She had harbored suspicions before, but now that she was privy to some information, she found it hard to digest.

Should she trust Nicole? Or, to put it another way, should she trust Kendrick?
