Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 626

Chapter 626 Emma’s Rival in Love

I'm almost 24 now and no one has ever asked me out, and that's all because of you guys who dote on your sister so much, Alice thought to herself.

Matthew even said he won't let me get married until I'm at least 28 years old!

It was as if they wanted her to stay single until she was old and gray.

She was even more afraid that no one would be asking her out even when she did turn 28.

Alice lamented ruefully.

"None of us are getting married anyway, so we don't need to let Ally marry anyone anytime soon. Even though our family's standing in society is enough to ensure that Ally's in-laws wouldn't mistreat her in any way, it still won't be easy to be someone's daughter-in-law. Ally will have a lot more freedom when she's just the Coleman Family's daughter."

That's coming from my very own brother, Matthew.

Alice was speechless. If they're all going to follow in Dylan's footsteps and get married in their thirties, or maybe even later, then I'll really stay single until I'm old and gray.

Whatever! Even if I become an old maid, I'll still be the family's favorite! Yeah. That's not so bad!

Alice decided to stop thinking about getting married.

It's not like I can get married anyway. Who'd dare to marry me?

The young Coleman men weren't bothered by Dylan and Kendall's display of affection. They split up at the entrance.

Kendall left with Dylan, and Emma was about to drive off as well.

"Miss Finley," someone called out to her.

Emma turned around and saw that it was Pansy Dickey, a secretary who worked for one of the vice presidents.

Emma and Pansy had joined Coleman Empire Holdings at the same time, and Emma was fortunate enough to have been selected by Toddy, who later mentored her. That led to her becoming Dylan's secretary at a young age and gaining his trust.

Even though a lot of people mocked and ridiculed Emma for being in love with Toddy and receiving all manner of rejection, disdain, and humiliation from him, everyone in the company still addressed her respectfully as Miss Finley when they ran into her.

"Miss Dickey," Emma greeted curtly.

She didn't get out of the car.

Pansy came over and immediately tried to open the car door. "My car's getting serviced so I didn't drive to work today. Since you don't need to drive Mrs. Coleman around, you can give me a ride, Miss Finley. Unlock the door and let me in."

Pansy was smiling sweetly, but it was still a gloating sneer.

So, what if she's President Coleman's most trusted secretary? She ended up getting sent to Parker Corporation to be Mrs. Coleman's secretary anyway.

Being a secretary at Parker Corporation could hardly compare to being Dylan's secretary.

In Pansy's eyes, Emma had been demoted.

Hahaha! You shouldn't have been so haughty and indifferent to everyone when you were still working at the company, Emma!

Emma never had any interaction with the rest of the employees outside of work.

"We're not heading in the same direction, Miss Dickey."

Emma didn't unlock her car doors as she didn't want to let Pansy in.

She knew full well what Pansy thought of her, but she couldn't be bothered to explain anything to Pansy as they weren't close at all.

When Emma was still Dylan's secretary, Pansy would butter her up, curry favor with her, and try to get her to let slip Dylan's decisions for the company, but she ignored Pansy, and she figured that Pansy bore a grudge against her for it.

Furthermore, Pansy was one of the many women in the company who had a crush on Toddy.

Pansy mocked Emma behind her back with exuberant glee when Toddy ignored Emma.

While Pansy also had a crush on Toddy, she never confessed to him. However, Emma knew about the crush Pansy had on Toddy, and that the latter was too afraid to confess after seeing the way Toddy rejected Emma. Pansy didn't want to humiliate herself.

"Either way, you're free now, aren't you? President Coleman has already taken Mrs. Coleman with him, so what else is there for you to do? It won't hurt you to give me a ride."

Pansy smacked the door. "Unlock the door, Miss Finley. I want to get in. If it's such a big deal, I can always just pay you for the ride."

"I'm not a cab driver," Emma retorted coolly. "And actually, I have matters to tend to. I'm supposed to go on a joyride. If I gave you a ride, it'd be cutting my joyriding time by half. Are you going to pay me for that? Alright. I'll charge you a thousand per minute then."

"Why don't you try and rob a bank instead? Why did you become like this, Emma? Is it because the salary at Parker Corporation is so pitiful that you ran out of money so you're trying to squeeze me dry?"

"Yes, that's right. I want to squeeze you dry. What about it? Are you going to let me? Pay up. Once I get the money, I'll unlock the door and give you a ride."

Pansy's expression darkened as she screeched, "What makes you think you can be so arrogant, huh? Do you think you're still the high and mighty Miss Finley that everyone tries to curry favor with because you're President Coleman's secretary?"

"I never put myself up on a pedestal and expected everyone to try and curry favor with me. But, I know someone who tried to curry favor with me and failed, so that's why she resents me and is trying to humiliate me now. You shouldn't behave this childishly, Miss Dickey. I feel embarrassed on your behalf. Who do you think I am?"

She wouldn't be Emma Finley if she were this easily humiliated!

"Why, you! No good deed goes unpunished! I'm just trying to let you earn some extra cash out of the kindness of my heart, and yet you say such awful things about me! You seem to be in a dreadful state of mind, Miss Finley. I'm sure work must be going terribly for you."

Pansy wanted to see Emma suffer. That way, her own life would look great in comparison.

So what if President Coleman didn't put me in an important position? I'm still working at Coleman Empire Holdings! As for Emma, President Coleman dumped her at Parker Corporation! Sure, it's ostensibly to help Mrs. Coleman, but it's not as if there aren't any secretaries at Parker Corporation. It's obvious that Emma made President Coleman angry and he wanted to get rid of her, but Mrs. Coleman was nice enough to let Emma preserve her dignity by transferring her to Parker Corporation instead.

After all, Emma shamelessly groveled at Mrs. Coleman's feet until Mrs. Coleman began thinking of her as a friend.

People would react differently when they heard that someone was working at Coleman Empire Holdings versus Parker Corporation.

Pansy became the subject of envy and jealousy among her friends when she declared that she was working at Coleman Empire Holdings and was even a vice president's secretary.

Many people wanted to join Coleman Empire Holdings but failed to despite fighting tooth and nail for the chance.

However, no one would be reacting this way if they heard of someone working for Parker Corporation.

The two companies were in two entirely different leagues.

Even though Parker Corporation is doing pretty well now, that's only because of President Coleman. He's just helping Parker Corporation out of love for his wife.

"What does my work have to do with you?" Emma shot back at Pansy.

Just then, Emma saw Toddy hurrying over, so she quickly raised the window to close it as she said one final thing to Pansy, "Mr. Heller's here. Ask him to give you a ride instead. I'm heading off. Goodbye."

She immediately tried to drive off.

"Emma!"

Toddy saw what she was doing and lunged forward to stand in front of Emma's car.

Emma had to slam her brakes.

She cursed Pansy for being so useless. Couldn't you have stopped Toddy?

"Mr. Heller."

It wasn't as if Pansy didn't want to stop Toddy. She had simply reacted too late.

By the time she caught on, she wanted to latch onto Toddy, but he was already out on the road blocking Emma.

Pansy didn't dare to go over, but she didn't leave either. She stood in place and glared hatefully at Emma.

She's so bloody annoying! She's already gone from the company so why is she still pestering Mr. Heller? How shameless!

If Emma knew what Pansy was thinking, her only reaction would be, Are you blind, b*tch? Can't you see who's pestering who?
