Everyone in the chess room was stunned.
That made Kendall go?
And what did Kendall mean by that?
What was "just learn this stuff"?
Was she very awesome?
"I'm going to the Chess Association's official website to check Kendall's level."
Boy A took out his mobile phone, logged on to the official website of Chess Association, entered Kendall's name, and the search result was 0.
"O" meant that Kendall had not registered her name with the Chess Association.
It also meant that she had never passed the exam!
"What the hell? I thought she was awesome, but she didn't even pass the grade test. She's a pure novice!" Student A complained about his mobile phone,
"I knew it. She is just a village girl. How can she know how to play chess?"
Kendall came from a mountain village where teaching resources were very scarce. How could she have the opportunity to get in touch with chess?
"Then why does she look down on what we have learned? We are all eighth-level chess players in the Chess Association!" Girl B complained.
The highest level of strength in the Chess Association was Grandmaster, and in descending order, there were Alternate Grandmasters, First-level Chess Players… and Fifteenth-level Chess Players.
It was already good enough for them to become Eighth-level Chess Players at their age.
"Principal made a mistake. He put Kendall in the team before he even checked her level." Boy C frowned.
"The host of this competition is Powell High School. If we lose to others on our territory, how embarrassing it would be?" Girl D sighed.
The accompanying teachers nodded in agreement.
It would be embarrassing to lose their territory.
"Maybe the principal trusts Kendall a lot," Gloria said softly.
"Oh, you're so gentle, unlike me. I want to beat Kendall." Others were impressed.
"Thanks." Gloria smiled modestly, feeling relieved.
To be honest, when she first heard Kendall say that she would come to participate in the inter-school league, she was quite flustered because Kendall was now full of uncertainty.
She had been worried that Kendall was a hidden master who would steal her thunder and disrupt her plans.
Now it seemed Kendall was nothing.
Why did Kendall insist on participating in the competition if she didn't know chess?
"Gloria, it's your turn." Austin pressed the chess clock and said. His handsome appearance stood out among these ordinary students.
The smile on Gloria's face faded slowly.
How could she forget that Kendall liked Austin very much?
Her purpose, of course, was to get close to Austin!
Yes, Kendall was playing hard to get!
She would never let Kendall succeed!
On Center Street, Kendall asked the driver to pull over, opened the door, and walked towards a warmly decorated dessert shop.
The proprietress in her thirties warmly received her, "What would you like to buy, miss? We have chocolate mousse, mille-feuille, meringue puffs, tiramisu…"
Kendall handed over her little pocket money in the wallet to the proprietress.
Then she ordered some chocolate mousse in front of the counter and said calmly, "I want this."
"Okay!" The proprietress was about to put the cake into a box.
"Forget it. I'll change to this." Kendall pointed to the mille-feuille.
"Okay." The proprietress put down the chocolate mousse and went to get the mille-feuille.
"Sorry, I still want the chocolate mousse." Kendall pointed back.
"Okay." The proprietress went to fetch the chocolate mousse again.
She lowered her head and found that Kendall's slender fingers that were pointing to the chocolate mousse switched to the most expensive tiramisu.
"Miss, the price of this one is…"
She met Kendall's eyes. Those beautiful eyes widened little by little, full of anticipation and desire.
"This one happens to be on sale! Miss, you're so lucky. I'll pack it up for you. Goodbye!"
The proprietress saw off the guest with a standard smile.
Behind the counter, the proprietress's assistant complained, "Boss, you lost money again!"
"Stop it. She's such a beautiful girl." The proprietress continued to smile, but her heart was aching.
In the Salesforce Building opposite the dessert shop, Damien was standing in front of the floor-to- ceiling windows with his hands in his pockets. He was tall and straight, and his handsome face looked even more exquisite in the setting sun.
"It turns out that there is something she likes." A faint smile flashed across his deep eyes.
He had just finished a cross-border video conference when he found Kendall shopping in the dessert shop downstairs.
Dessert?
It was an unexpected hobby.
"Ms. Parker seems to want to eat them all," Aiden said thoughtfully.
She had hesitated for a long time in front of the counter.
The smile in Damien's eyes deepened.
The more he knew about Kendall, the more he felt that Kendall was like a beautifully packaged gift box, dazzling and unique.
He couldn't help but wonder what was inside the gift box.
He wanted to open the box to take a look.
When Damien returned to the villa, he found Kendall sitting in the dining room in a daze.
The tiramisu box on the table was deformed, and the cake inside was torn apart and shattered everywhere.
The young maid bowed at the side and apologized, "Ms. Parker, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!"
"What's going on?" Damien frowned.
"Damien Knight, it's all my fault. I accidentally bumped into Ms. Parker at the corner and broke the cake…" the maid replied guiltily.
Ms. Parker seemed to like the tiramisu very much.
"It's my fault, not yours." Kendall came to her sense.
She had been so preoccupied with figuring out where to start eating the cake that she didn't pay attention when she turned the corner.
She felt sorry about the tiramisu.
"I…I'll go to the city and buy another one for you!" The maid felt more and more guilty.
It was rare for Ms. Parker to like something. How could she be so careless?!
"When you arrive, the shop will probably be closed." Damien took off his suit jacket and handed it to Aiden. He looked refined and abstinent. in his white shirt.
He rolled up his sleeves, went to the kitchen to put on a dark apron, cracked the eggs skillfully, and took out the yolks for later use.
His series of behaviors made Kendall a little surprised.
Then, her surprise turned into admiration.
This extremely handsome man was like a magician. In just half an hour, he combined several random things into a perfectly shaped cake and it smelt so good.
"Tiramisu needs to be refrigerated overnight to get the best taste. But there is not enough time. Why don't try this?"
Damien took off his apron and brought the cake in front of Kendall gracefully.
Kendall picked up the fork, cut a piece, and put it in her mouth. The sweetness on the tip of her tongue made her eyes light up, and she praised sincerely, "It's so tasty."
There was a little more admiration that she didn't even notice herself when she looked at him.
Damien smiled slightly.
He liked the way Kendall looked at him like that.
"Does the Knights Family cultivate offspring to make dessert?" Kendall was curious and said to herself.
And it was so delicious.
"No." Damien's voice was deep and pleasant, "My mother also likes dessert. To make her happy, I learned how to make dessert with a pastry chef for two months."
He had a high level of comprehension and he learned things quickly, so he learned how to do it within two months.
Kendall nodded as she ate the cake.
She looked so cute, making people want to hold her in their arms.
Thinking of how helplessly she had cried last night, Damien blinked and said slightly, "I haven't made dessert for anyone else except my mother and you. Do you know what that means?"
If the outside world knew that he made dessert for a girl, they would be shocked.
Kendall cut a piece of cake, thought for a moment, and replied, "Does it mean that I look like your mother?"
It was eerily quiet all around.
Damien took a deep breath, took the cake in front of Kendall, and smiled, "Your cake is gone."
Kendall, who had been happily eating the cake, was stunned.
Kendall was a little upset.
The cake was taken halfway, so she was far away from Damien when she slept.
There was a gap between them, like a young couple who had quarreled.
On the other side, Damien leaned against the bedside while reading, and occasionally glanced at Kendall out of the corner of his eye with a faint smile.
It was the first time he'd seen Kendall sulking.
It might sound a bit inconsiderate, but she was indeed much cuter than when she was expressionless.
Early the next morning, Kendall slowly sat up straight with dark circles under her eyes.
She had been too far away from Damien last night, and she couldn't smell the soothing fragrance, so she hadn't slept very well.
She rubbed the back of her neck and walked out of the bedroom.
"Good morning, Ms. Parker. Damien Knight ordered before he left that if you want to eat cake, there is chilled tiramisu in the refrigerator." The maid followed Kendall with a big smile on her face.
Damien Knight had made it with his own hands last night!
Kendall paused.
She was instantly refreshed
After eating the tiramisu, Kendall drove to Powell High School.
When she got out of the car, the door of the red car in front just happened to open, and two familiar people got off.
One was Russel, the chess mentor at Powell High School, and the other
was the dessert shop proprietress whom she had met yesterday.
The proprietress supported Russel to get out of the car, "Dad, be careful."
Russel was her father.
After Russel, who was on crutches, got out of the car, the proprietress also noticed Kendall.
"It's you, the beautiful girl who bought the cake yesterday!" The proprietress's eyes lit up, "What a coincidence. Why are you here?"
For someone who liked good looks, the existence of Kendall was a bunch of sparkling rare treasures!
"She is a student of Powell High School, and she is also the one who will participate in the inter-school league." Russel glanced at Kendall and walked into the school on crutches.
"So you are my dad's student. With his indifferent temperament, he must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?" The proprietress smiled awkwardly, "Do you like dessert? You can come to my shop after school. You can eat whatever you want! It's on the house."
Her words attracted Kendall.
But she shouldn't accept free lunches.
She thought about it, and found a way to get the best of both worlds, "I remember there was a recruitment notice posted in front of your shop. I happen to want to earn some pocket money."
"Well, you can come to my shop to work part-time after school." The proprietress held out her hand, "My name is Grace Wilson."
"Kendall." Kendall shook her hand.
One day class was over soon.
In the evening, before Kendall left school, there came Adrian's voice from the radio,
"Kendall from Class 7, Grade 3, come to the principal's office."
What did Adrian ask to see her?
Kendall frowned slightly and walked towards the principal's office.
In the corridor outside the principal's office, more than a dozen students were standing, all of whom were about to represent Powell High School in the inter-school league.
Seeing Kendall, they all showed contempt and snorted coldly.
In the principal's office, Gloria spoke loudly, "Principal, we've found out that Kendall did not pass the exam in the Chess Association."
"In addition, she hadn't come to the chess room to report for two consecutive days, and even derogated the chess records that we've trained so hard on as 'this little thing"
"We're all very angry, but it's a trivial matter. The important thing is the reputation of the school."
"Are we going to send a novice to play on the day of the league?"
"If this is the case, other schools will laugh at us and say that our Powell High School has no talents, and we can't even get together a team of 20 people!"
A hint of calculation flashed in Gloria's eyes.
Kendall, aren't you trying to play hard to get and seduce Austin?
I will directly unite with other students and kick you out of the participating team. I'll wait and see what else you can do!
"Who told you that if one hasn't passed the test, it means he can't play chess?" Kendall walked into the principal's office with a cold expression.
When she was playing against the world's number one chess player, Gloria wasn't around!
"Since you know how to play chess, do you dare to play a game with me?!" Gloria snorted and stared at Kendall.
She must expose Kendall's lie!
"Play chess with me?" Kendall's eyes flashed sarcasm, "Who do you think you are?"
Gloria was in no position to play chess with her.
"You!" Gloria's face was livid!
"Okay." Adrian put her hands on the table and asked Kendall, "Choose someone you think is worthy to play chess with and show me."
He had agreed with Kendall to represent Powell High School because of Kendall's outstanding performance in the school.
Not only had she gotten full marks in her monthly exams, but she had also taught the worst Class 7 until they became the top one.
His friend Damien also spoke highly of Kendall.
So when he heard Kendall say that she was going to participate in the inter-school chess league, he had assumed that Kendall could play chess and played it well.
It turned out that Kendall didn't even take the exam, so he needed to call Kendall to confirm.
If Kendall didn't know how to play chess, he wouldn't let her participate in the league.
Powell High School was a school for all.
The honor of Powell High School belonged to all.
He couldn't ignore it.
"No, she can play chess." Russel came in with crutches, and his gray hair was swaying with his steps.
"When she came to the chess room yesterday, I was playing chess."
"She looked at the chessboard for three seconds and then set her sights on the 'chariot' position, making sure that this move was the best."
"I had thought about this move for a full twenty minutes, but it only took her three seconds."
"How could such a person be a novice?"
He was sure that Kendall was a genius who was good at chess.
No student in the entire Powell High School was better than her!
"With just one look, you confirmed that Kendall knows chess? Wasn't it too careless?" Gloria widened her eyes, feeling that it was outrageous.
"If something goes wrong, or the championship is missed because of Kendall, who will be responsible?"
"I will!" Russel stared at Gloria and said, "If Powell High School misses the championship because of Kendall, I will take the blame and. resign. Are you satisfied?"
Russel had been more or less a famous figure in the chess world. A sharp gaze overwhelmed Gloria, making her take a step back in embarrassment!
"Since Russel has said so, now I announce that Kendall will continue to compete." Adrian made the final decision.
Gloria could only bring the students back in frustration.
Standing at the door of the principal's office, Kendall said to Russel calmly, "I will win the championship."
She hadn't expected that Russel would speak up for her and bet his career.
"Of course, you will." Russel left without saying a word.
Once upon a time, he had been confident as Kendall.
At the dessert shop, Kendall changed into the outfit Grace prepared for her, and walked out of the dressing room with a frown, "Grace, do I have to wear these 'work clothes"?"
"Of course, my dessert shop has a theme rotation. This week's theme is the maid!"
Grace placed the standing signboard and looked up at Kendall with amazement in her eyes.
This picture was amazing!
Kendall was wearing a black and white maid pleated skirt, a white scrunchie on her head, and a white lace apron around her waist.
The belt of the apron was long, and a big bow was tied behind her. She looked really cute!
The girl wearing the maid outfit had a cold and alienated face, pulling up her sleeves, unaccustomed to it, but it somehow formed a contrast with the outfit.
She looked even cuter!
Kendall pulled her sleeves and looked at the dessert on the counter.
She had to suppress herself.
In the conference hall of the Salesforce Building, the heads of various departments looked at each other in surprise, wondering why the handsome and noble Damien Knight suddenly shut up and looked out the window in a daze.
"Damien…"
"Shut up. Don't you know that Damien Knight is thinking about how to quickly conquer foreign markets?"
