Heart Hunting novel Chapter 83

DK building.

Dressing in a tailored suit, the tall and handsome Kenny is so attractive no matter where he goes.

When he returns to the company, he becomes the cool and powerful president again. The staff along the way greet him one after another. Some fans of Kenny in the company gathers together to discuss about him.

As soon as Kenny passes the lobby, Noel runs over.

“Hey, Kenny. What a coincidence!” Noel is in a hip-hop style.

Kenny is still mad at him for what he did last night. He glances at Noel and says, “you are not a clerk of Dakings, who brought you in?”

“Don’t you know that I’ve already get the green card of your company?” Noel observes at him carefully. Looking at the clothes on him, which are the same as last night, he asks with a sinister smile. “Did you and Poppy...”

Kenny knows what he is asking about.

Kenny recalls the thing that Poppy kicked him when Noel mentions it. It seems to hurt again. “Noel Gilbert! You knew there was another woman in the room, and you still called Poppy to go there?”

Noel laughs and doesn’t deny it. “What happened then?”

Then he got kicked!

But Kenny certainly won’t tell him that. He stares at Noel. “You are making mischief. Don’t expect her to like you.”

What she likes is only benefit.

Noel pretends to cough awkwardly. He doesn’t expect to be seen through by Kenny. “Well...uh...about last night, I just wanted Poppy to see that if...”

“If I’m a stud, right?” No wonder Poppy would humiliate him last night.

“Well, I didn’t say that.” Noel immediately denies, and adds in the heart, “but you did.”

Noel tries hard to hold back his laughter. It seems like Kenny had a “wonderful” time last night!

Kenny doesn’t continue to say a word. Fortunately Poppy is not like other women. Normally, it it was another woman, she would misunderstood everything.

They chat as they walk, and soon they get to Kenny’s office.

When Aaron sees Kenny back, he immediately follows him into the office, and hands over some documents to Kenny. “Mr. Murphy, I’ve done what you asked me to do.”

Kenny knows what Aaron means. He opens the files to have a look. Then he gives Aaron a hint by eye contact, indicating that it’s not a right time to talk about it since Noel is here.

Aaron gets his hint. He puts the documents on the table, nods respectfully to Kenny and leaves.

Noel thinks it’s about Kenny’s business. Naturally, he doesn’t ask anything. Kenny puts the documents away, and then goes to the rest room.

The rest room is a small bedroom with a bed, a shower and a small bar. Half an hour later, Kenny comes out again. He has changed the clothes, and there is still a little water drop at the end of his hair. Obviously he just took a shower.

Noel looks at the time, and asks, “it’s noon, what about having lunch together?”

Kenny laughs at him. “What about your Jolene? Don’t you need to accompany her?”

“I haven’t been in touch with her since last time.” In Noel’s eyes, ordinary women are like clothes. If he doesn’t like them, he just get rid of them. The only different one is his goddess, Poppy.

“You get rid of her before you sleep with her? What a miracle!”

Noel doesn’t fail to recognize his sarcastic tone. He answers, “the woman is so vicious. How dare she to hid Poppy’s clothes to make a fool of her. I don’t like her at all.”

“Oh, really? And you think your goddess is a good one?” Kenny looks at Noel, and wonders if he’s misjudged her.

“In my opinion, she a good person.” Noel replies seriously. He thinks Poppy is a kind of his belief, and she can’t be stigmatized.

Kenny sneers. “Jolene almost died when diving because of Poppy, and you still think she’s a good person?”

Noel doesn’t care. “That’s exactly my goddess. She has beauty and wisdom at a time. Her face is like angel’s, her body shape is like goblin’s, and her heart is like devil’s. It’s normal to be a little vicious.”

Noel keeps praising Poppy.

Kenny is stunned. “You’re crazy.”

“Yeah, I’m crazy for Poppy.”

Kenny shakes his heads. He looks at Noel and says, “you’re hopeless.”

In the Greens company-

The atmosphere in the company is sombre, for they just lost a big client, Dakings Group.

The CFO walks into the president office with a serious expression. He reports the latest news to Bryant. “Mr. Green, we’ve lost Dakings. And we conservatively estimate that in the second half of the year, we will lose three thousand million dollars profits.”

Bryant looks also upset. He speaks in a low voice, “why would things go wrong in a sudden? We had been cooperating with Dakings for several years, and we had been very cautious. How come these parts suddenly can’t pass the inspection?”

Without any precaution, Dakings sends an appalling message. That is, a large number of the parts that the Greens company produced are disqualified, which leads to production delay. Even other small projects linked with Dakings also have something wrong.

Kenny Murphy has issued an injunction, terminating the cooperation with the Greens company. What’s more, Dakings also retains the right of prosecution.

This undoubtedly gives the Greens company a heavy hit. After losing such a big client, their subsequent losses are immeasurable.

The CFO keeps silent. He has thought of thousands of possibilities, but he doesn’t dare to say anything.

Bryant feels it is really strange. He asks, “have the samples taken back to inspect again?”

“Yes, and it’s true that there’s something wrong with the parts.”

Bryant sighs. He leans back on the office chair, looking depressed.

“Mr. Green, actually...em...” The CFO wants to say something, but he doesn’t continue.

Bryant looks at him and says, “Shaun, we’ve known each other for 20 years, right?”

“Yes!” Shaun replies. Generally speaking, the position of CFO is only for the most trusted people.

“So, since we are old friends, just be straight if you want to say anything.”

“I wonder if it’s because Kenny Murphy is mad at us because of lady Ethel? He got involved then, it makes sense that he makes this decide because he is angry.

Bryant frowns, what Shaun says is possible.

But the result is certain, and now he has no way to change the reality.

Bryant suddenly feels so tired physically and mentally. He closes his eyes and waves his hand, saying, "I see. Please leave me alone.”

“Yes, Mr. Green.” Shaun nods his head and leaves the office.

When he gets to the door, Hilda and Ethel happen to come in.

Shaun greets them and leaves.

Bryant sees them. He asks, “why do you come here at this time?”

Hilda with Ethel sits down on the sofa and answers, “we come to you for lunch. And we’ll go to the hospital to repair Ethel’s nose.”

Ethel looks in a good mood. She looks at her father and says, “dad, we haven’t had dinner together for a long time.”

Bryant is not in the mood for lunch, and he doesn’t respond to his daughter’s words.

Hilda recalls the look of the CFO. She asks sensitively, “what’s the matter with Shaun? Is it the fund problem?”

Women always have the accurate instincts. Bryant takes off his glasses and rubs his temples. “Something unexpected happened.”

“What’s wrong?” Ethel and Hilda ask at the same time. When it comes to the benefit, they are always nervous the same.

“Kenny cut off all the cooperation with us.” Bryant sighs. Now they’ve lost such a big client, it is a challenge for them to remedy it.

Ethel gets so surprised. Why would this happen so suddenly?

“We have a contract with Dakings. How can they cut off the cooperation with no reason?” Hilda also frowns.

“He found many kinds of reasons to point out our mistakes. We can do nothing to him.” Bryant feels helpless. He knows they must have done something about it.

Hilda gets so angry, she says, “if it isn’t for our mistake, he should pay for the breach for terminating the contract.”

Bryant shakes his head. “But now it’s us who make mistakes. Kenny is very cunning. People doing business always say that he’s ruthless and insidious. Now I finally learn it this time. We don’t know what means he use to cause our mistakes. And now we can only terminate the cooperation passively because of our fault. He even pretends to be nice, saying that they are not going to call to account. Because of this, we conservatively estimate that we will lose three thousand million dollars profits in the second half of this year.”

“He really pushes it too far!” Hilda wishes to tear off Kenny’s skin right away! She doesn’t expect that he is such a man. She knew that he is not easy to deal with when she was in his house the other day.

Ethel doesn’t say a word from the beginning. Her mind has already flown to Kenny. At last, she says, “mom, I’ll go to the washroom.”

“Come back soon.” Hilda doesn’t care much about her right now. She’s thinking of the cooperation with Dakings.

Ethel leaves the office, but she doesn’t go to the washroom. Instead, she walks into the elevator.

She leaves the company and gets on a taxi. “Go to DK building.” Ethel says to the driver.

She knows that Kenny won’t answer her call now. So she can only find him by going to his company. But this can’t be known by her mother, otherwise she will be blamed again.

She can’t help thinking all the way. Is it because of herself that Kenny terminates the cooperation with the Greens company? Although she doesn’t know business, she knows that if they lost the cooperation with Dakings, they will suffer great losses.

“Miss, here it is.” The drivers stops the taxi. Ethel quickly pays the bill and goes towards the building.

Since Kenny forbids her coming, even the security guards at the door are very vigilant. They have noticed Ethel from far away, and theirs eyes keep staring at her like gamma lines.

The two security guards stop her from entering. But she tries her best to get into the building. She even deliberately squares her shoulder so that they don’t dare to touch her, and takes the opportunity to break in.

“Miss Green, you can get in there.”

“Miss Green, please go back.”

The two guards follow her all the way in. Ethel comes directly to the reception center, and speaks arrogantly to the receptionist. “I want to see Kenny.”

The two receptionists are not afraid of her at all. They take a look at each other, and begin to satirize her by talking to the guards. “Why do you still call her Miss Green? You should call her Miss plastic face.”

“Look at her nose. Seems that it hasn’t been repaired yet. Eewl...it’s so ugly!”

The two ladies in the reception center are brave. Mr. Murphy has made a statement that he has nothing to do with Ethel, then they are not afraid of offending her now.
