Early next morning, Kendall and a few subordinates were getting ready to depart for Channing.
Thomson, too, arrived with a few men at Kendall's villa in two luxury cars.
Upon noticing the men who arrived with Thomson, Kendall knitted her brows and said icily, “Why did you bring these men here? You know we're not going on a road trip, right?”
Thomson responded with a wry smile and said, “They’re all my bros, Kendall. Penny's husband beat them up too that day. We want to teach him a lesson to avenge ourselves! Besides, I want them to witness how powerful you are!”
“If anything goes south, at least we'll also have more people to support us!” he added.
Thomson's friends greeted Kendall with respect, “Good morning, Ms.
Guller.”
Well, I can't be rude to our guests, can I? Besides, it's an excellent opportunity for these boys to witness how an influential figure talks business with others.
Kendall was an egoistic woman who liked to show off and boast of her success. That was why she chose to become a journalist and a television host.
The group then departed in a few cars, heading in Channing's direction.
They reached the city two hours later and arrived at Cross Corporation.
Kendall got out of the car and led the way into the building.
A few crew members followed right behind while carrying cameras and microphones.
Thomson and his friends, too, entered with an arrogant look.
A tall and beautiful woman, who was wearing the Cross Corporation attire, went up and greeted Kendall with a grin when she walked into the building. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Culler. I'm Jenny, Ms. Smith's assistant.”
“Mr. Cross and Ms. Smith are waiting for you upstairs. Follow me please.” Jenny led the way.
Kendall was a little displeased that Penny and Nathan did not come down to welcome her.
Thomson expressed his dismay and lambasted Penny and Nathan, “They knew my sister's gonna be here, yet they refused to come down to welcome us at the lobby?”
Kendall tried to calm Thomson down. “Calm down, Thomson. They're gonna have to apologize and compensate us anyway. They're probably putting up their last fight to defend their dignity.”
Jenny kept mum and brought them to the private elevator that would bring them straight to the chairman's office.
Kendall and Thomson were stunned the moment they stepped out of the elevator.
“Is this the chairman's office? It's so spacious!”
“Look at the interior design and decoration! What a luxurious office!”
“I want to design my office like this when I own a company in the future!”
