Chapter 1408 The Plot Begins

"I've had some recent family issues, and I've invested all my savings into them. Can I get an advance on my salary

and bonuses?"

Darcy had already worked out the details. If she could get an advance for two months, she would have a hundred

thousand dollars.

The salary system at Kendrick's company was highly competitive as it was designed to retain talent. Even her

position as a personal secretary, privy to all sorts of company secrets, was well compensated.

Kendrick looked up at Darcy when she spoke, observing the tears in her eyes with a stern gaze. She was clearly

acting, and he could see through it, but was it because someone was extorting her?

"Alright," he responded without much thought. He immediately called the finance department to arrange for Darcy

to receive the money. If this was what she wanted, he would fulfill her requests.

Seeing Kendrick agree and transfer the money so swiftly, Darcy could hardly contain her joy. She quickly expressed

her gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Hofstead. I will continue to support you discreetly from the sidelines."

With that, Darcy turned and left. However, Kendrick, who had been looking down, slowly raised his head. The plot

was now in motion, and Darcy's days were numbered.

Darcy transferred the money to the man and found out that someone had been inquiring about her lately.

However, the man didn't reveal any details about the situation, claiming they were broke and unwilling to share a

single cent.

Initially, Darcy had some doubts, but when she heard the second part of the man's statement, all her suspicions

disappeared. It was clear that this man loved money, and if he wasn't paid, he wouldn't say a word. But among the

two groups involved, who else could it be besides Kendrick?

Ring, ring, ring…

Darcy's phone rang just then.

She answered the call nonchalantly, her mood evidently good. She didn't even bother to check the caller ID.

"Come back now."

Mr. Hofstead?

The voice on the other end was unmistakably Kendrick's.

Upon hearing his voice, Darcy quickly glanced at the caller ID in surprise. "Yes," she responded before hanging up.

She didn't linger and hurried back to Kendrick's office.

His voice had been grave and low, suggesting he was dealing with a serious issue. Darcy didn't dare to speculate

further and quickened her pace.

"You wanted to see me, Mr. Hofstead?" Darcy asked, noting the worry etched on his face. She surmised that

something must have happened at the company.

"What is this? Why are you targeting the medical base?" Kendrick questioned, placing a pile of evidence before

Darcy.

She looked at the evidence, and her heart sank. It seemed that the man who was easily swayed by money couldn't

be trusted after all.

"Mr. Hofstead, please let me explain—"

"No need." Darcy's words were interrupted by Kendrick. "I've already taken care of it for you. You've been with me

for many years, and this is the first time you've made a mistake. It's only right that I help you.

"Besides, over these many years, I've developed feelings for you. This matter—"

"Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Hofstead, but there's a document that requires your signature," a voice interjected.

The person entered slowly, observing the strange atmosphere between the two of them with disbelief. This

individual was someone Darcy had promoted at the medical base.

Darcy, seeing this person, furrowed her brow slightly. Why must he come in before Mr. Hofstead finished speaking?!

I still don't know what Mr. Hofstead wants to tell me!

"Alright, just leave it here," Kendrick responded, his tone icy.

At that, the man quickly placed the document on the table and exited the room, not daring to linger.
