After Niamh thought about it, she had a sudden idea in her head. However, she said with no expressions on her face, “I can make that for you, but I have to go back to Waldburg Corporation. My fragrance lab is over there.”
“Don’t try any funny business,” he warned. He was clearly treating Niamh as his rival.
Niamh chuckled helplessly. “If you don’t believe me, you can go with me.”
Kendrick indeed did not believe Niamh now. As such, he went to Waldburg Corporation with her to watch her.
The employees in the company were shocked when they saw Kendrick.
“I-Isn’t that Mr. Waldburg?”
“How is that possible? Didn’t he die in that accident three months ago?”
“Ghosts can’t appear in the morning, right?” A few timid employees ran away when they saw Kendrick.
Kendrick noticed the employees’ reaction but was already used to it.
He followed Niamh to her lab and saw all kinds of tools and spices arranged neatly. Then, he started admiring them.
For some reason, he felt like he had been here before.
Niamh put on her white coat and mask before mixing the fragrances.
However, she could not finish this in just a few hours. In the process, Niamh heard Kendrick taking a call. It sounded like it was from Lana. His tone was so gentle. Before this, he would only use this tone with her and not with any other woman.
After Niamh was done with the mixing, she wanted to drink some water. At this moment, her secretary Coco came looking for her. She told her that Ryan was here for her and he was waiting at the reception.
Niamh looked at Kendrick. “Can I go and meet my friend?”
“Is it Ryan?”
“Yeah, it’s him, Naomi Lionel’s fiancé. Naomi is your woman’s best friend, so you should know them, right?”
Kendrick curled the corners of his lips in interest. “You deliberately emphasized how Lana is my woman. Could it be that you’re jealous?”
“I would be if you’re my husband, but you’re not.” Niamh turned around and walked out after she said that nonchalantly.
When Ryan saw Niamh’s outfit, he asked curiously, “Are you blending fragrances in your lab?”
“Yeah.” Niamh nodded. “Do you need me for something, Mr. Jones?”
“I’m sorry for what happened that day. I didn’t think she’d do something so horrible.” Ryan apologized sincerely. “My parents want to invite you over for dinner as an apology. I wonder if you’re free tonight, Mrs. Waldburg?”
“There’s no need for you to go to such an extent. Plus, I’m pretty busy recently.” Niamh declined. “Mr. Jones, I still have something I need to do.”
Ryan looked at Niamh dispiritedly. Then, he smiled. “I’ll ask you out again next time.”
“Okay.” Niamh smiled back before walking away.
However, when she was about to, she heard Ryan calling out, “Watch out!”
Niamh saw an employee playing on his phone with his head lowered, and he was walking over to her with a cup of hot coffee. Niamh quickly dodged away and crashed into Ryan’s chest with her back.
Ryan held Niamh’s shoulders reflexively. When he looked at Niamh who was in his arms, his eyes softened. “Are you okay, Mrs. Waldburg?”
Niamh removed herself from Ryan instantly. “Thanks, I’m fine.”
The employee apologized frantically, “I’m so sorry, Mrs. Waldburg. I didn’t notice you there. I’m so sorry!”
“Don’t walk and play with your phone next time,” Niamh said. Then, she turned around and walked away.
However, when she got back to her lab, she did not see Kendrick anywhere.
She found that it was strange, and when she was about to walk in to take a look, she felt someone approaching her from behind.
She turned around when Kendrick held her. “Why did you let him hold you?”
“…” Niamh was stunned. She did not think Kendrick would ask this kind of question in his current state of mind.
He did not know her anymore, so why did he have so much jealousy in his voice?
However, he was holding her even tighter now. “I don’t think I like seeing you have any physical contact with another man. Eveline, am I really the man you think about every night and day?”
He kissed her hair like he was greedy to have her. Then, he pushed her away coldly all of a sudden. “Continue with your business.”
This contradicting attitude seemed strange to Niamh.
Then, he walked to one side to smoke. The brand of the cigarette he smoked was the one Lana smoked.
Niamh knew she would be lying if she said she did not mind this, but she knew Kendrick would not listen to anything she said right now.
The aromatherapy kit was done, but it still needed to sit overnight.
Judging from Kendrick’s reaction, it seemed that he still wanted to take Niamh back to his place with Lana. She declined. “My son is only one month old and needs my breast milk to grow up healthily. I have to go to the hospital now!”
She walked into the elevator with a firm attitude. When she saw Kendrick following her, she wanted to get into another elevator but the man pulled her back.
She fought back but failed when he pressed her tightly against the wall of the elevator.
The man looked straight at her with his charming eyes. “Eveline, men like women who listen to them. Don’t try to provoke me again.”
“If you’re not my husband, Kendrick Waldburg, then I don’t need you to like me! Get lost!” She started to feel anger rising in her chest.
Kendrick placed his hand on Niamh’s chest out of the blue, and this action stunned Niamh.
However, his eyes looked flirtatious while his tone was mischievous. “Are you sure you still want to fight back? Are you sure you won’t mind if someone comes into the elevator now and sees us in this position?”
Niamh was helpless against the man’s threat, so she warned him, “Get your hands away from me!”
However, Kendrick did not care. “If you don’t listen to me, I’ll continue.”
“…”
Niamh felt a lump in her heart.
At this moment, the elevator stopped. When the door opened, the employees who were about to come in saw Kendrick pressing Niamh against the wall as he kissed her. They were all stunned, and when they came back to their senses, the elevator started moving.
Then, the group chat for that department went into utter chaos.
[Mr. Waldburg isn’t dead! I saw him making out with Mrs. Waldburg in the elevator just now!]
[For real?]
[Yeah, I saw it too!]
[Wow, how sweet.]
…
Niamh did not expect Kendrick to kiss her in the elevator all of a sudden.
However, it would be better for people to think they were making out in the elevator than letting them see his hand on her chest.
When Niamh walked out of the elevator, she felt the employees looking at her and Kendrick with weird gazes. In addition to that, they were all smiling amorously.
She figured what happened just now would spread around the company, but she did not know whether it was a good or a bad thing.
She quickly walked to the door so that she could visit her son in the hospital.
When she stepped out of the door, she saw someone in front of her. “Eveline Montgomery!”
Naomi glared at Niamh maliciously. Then, she lifted the hot coffee in her hand to splash it onto Niamh.
When Niamh was about to dodge, Kendrick ran forward and grabbed her wrist to pull her behind him.
The coffee did not spill on Niamh, but on the other hand, Kendrick’s shirt became the victim.
Naomi looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in shock. “You… Hans? Why are you here?”
Kendrick looked at her coldly. “Do I need to report to you every time I’m with someone?”
“…” Naomi was unconvinced, so she started targeting Niamh. “Eveline, now that your husband is dead, you’ve started seducing Rye because you can’t stand the loneliness, huh? I won’t forgive you so easily for what happened back then. Just you wait!”
Naomi pointed at Niamh and left after she yelled at her.
“Stop,” Niamh called out to Naomi sternly.
Naomi stopped in her tracks and saw Niamh walking toward her.
“Naomi, do you know that you’ll face legal action if I decide to look into you trying to harm me? Who gave you the courage to tell me that you’ll not forgive me? Was it Lana?”
