Chapter 71
Chapter 0071
Now, there was no trace of Samantha in the old Ford residence.
At the party, Samantha had woven through the crowd like a social butterfly, and she was able to strike up a lively conversation with someone whom she had only met a few minutes before.
She was surrounded by the elite and bosses, and she had even received invitations to collaborate.
When Francis reappeared at the venue, the people around Samantha trickled away as if they had planned it in advance. By the time Francis reached Samantha, there was no one beside her.
“Where’s Kendrick?” Francis asked.
When Samantha heard this, she looked around the sparse crowd, and only then did she realize that the brilliant man had left long ago.
“He’s probably gone to look for his date.”
Samantha laughed coldly.
“It’s about time that we leave. A nuisance has come.” Francis took Samantha’s hand, and his gaze darkened involuntarily.
Samantha didn’t know what nuisance Francis was talking about, and they just left the aimless party they had attended.
Samantha carried Nathan into the car, followed closely by Francis.
Through the thick glass, Samantha clearly saw the familiar woman standing at the door.
It was Lucia, the woman who had stood beside Francis just now.
“Mom, it’s raining…”
What Nathan said caught the attention of Samantha and Francis. Drops of water beat against the glass, making soft sounds.

“That’s right! Shall I sleep with you tonight, Nate?”
Samantha smiled as she pinched Nathan’s cheek.
Nathan grinned and said clearly, “Okay.”
After they got home, the light drizzle had turned into a downpour. The hem of Samantha’s skirt got wet on the path that led to the house.
Samantha and Nathan showered quickly and went to bed.
The next morning, they saw the note that Francis had left, but there was no sign of
him.
Samantha sent Nathan to kindergarten early and rushed to the office.
In the president’s office, Jude was busy arranging the materials needed while
Kendrick sat in his chair.
There was a mid–sized suitcase beside him, and it looked like he was about to go
overseas.
“Good morning, Mr. Ford.”
Samantha sat down after greeting him. She began working, pretending that she
hadn’t noticed anything.
She was already getting anxious. She had been back for such a long time but still
hadn’t found an opponent that had the ability to defeat the Ford Corporation.
From the beginning, Francis wasn’t suitable for this work either.
“Get ready. We need to go to Losilia for a few days.”
Kendrick did not raise his head.
“I’m only responsible for affairs within the company. You can bring Ms. Linda with
you.”
Samantha did not stop clicking her mouse.
“Ms. Meadows, your tickets are already prepared. It’s a three–day trip.”

The smile on Jude’s face was unexpectedly offensive.
Samantha paused what she was doing.
Three days wasn’t too long, but she didn’t think that Nathan could go that long
without seeing her.
“Please allow me to decline. At home, I.
“I believe Mr. Simmons will help you take care of your family matters well. I’ve
already spoken to his father about it.”
Kendrick laughed lightly and put his palms together, propping his head up as he
looked at Samantha.
Samantha was shocked as she realized that Chester’s actions were completely
unpredictable.
How could he allow his son’s girlfriend to go overseas with another man?
Despite no longer having a reason, Samantha did not intend to reveal that to
Kendrick.
She assented to Kendrick and asked to be excused so that she could go home and
pack. She took the opportunity to call Francis.
As she sat in her BMW, she could easily see Linda parking her car and rushing
angrily into the elevator, and she couldn’t resist smiling.
Linda would always just be the daughter of Kendrick’s mentor, and she would never
attain the position that she wanted.
“Francis, why would your father agree to let me go overseas alone with him?”
Samantha spoke softly without being accusatory. All she wanted to do was to ask.
Francis paused too long, and just as Samantha was about to say that the signal
wasn’t good so that she could call again, Francis finally spoke quietly.
“I can only explain this to you in the future. Go ahead. Kendrick wouldn’t do
anything to Sophia.”

Francis‘ words confused Samantha even more, but perhaps it was due to the eccentricity of Francis‘ father.
Samantha carefully instructed Francis on what to say to Nathan before she hung up.
She packed anyway and got a cab to the airport. As soon as she arrived, she saw the
man dragging a black business suitcase behind him.
Kendrick was still dressed in an impeccable suit, and the ends of his hair looked
almost transparent in the sunshine after the rain.
His slender fingers held a vintage–looking notebook, and he was talking to someone with his Bluetooth earphones on.
He looked exactly like a busy, eligible bachelor.
As other women looked at him, Samantha walked over and stood beside him, staring
into the distance.
Kendrick glanced at her and strode forward toward the airport.
Samantha followed quietly, and she saw that the small notebook in his hand was
filled with cramped notes on things that he had to take note of.
Things were always harder for foreigners, so Kendrick always made sure to
thoroughly prepare whenever he had to have business meetings overseas.
“Jude is in charge of the company, and you are in charge of my daily life for the next
three days,” Kendrick said after he sat down.
