The Spoiled Girl - Chapter 1596 Celebrate Her Birthday
“But, sir…we don’t have any more employees left to spare,” the manager replied with a frantic look on his face. He was stuck in a dilemma. A lot of the KING Group’s employees had resigned due to the company’s decline, yet Darren’s right-hand man was personally asking him for another one.
“Well then, it’s your job to figure out these kinds of things,” Harlan frigidly responded.
Upon hearing those words, the manager realized he had no choice. Since Harlan seldom left Mr. Xu’s side, the manager knew that there was something important needed to be dealt with, so he put aside his frustration and just nodded along to Harlan’s request.
Having been in the business world for so long, Harlan knew exactly what the manager was thinking. Because of that, and the importance of his replacement, he reminded him, “I’m trusting you to not take the selection lightly, okay? Other than that, take care of this young man’s issue.”
Mentioning the young man again was an indication that if the manager messed up Harlan’s request, he would suffer the same fate as the young man. The manager immediately understood this and didn’t dare to complain anymore.
A few hours later, it was already night time. Darren had just failed to negotiate with the person in charge of a large shopping mall. Feeling somewhat helpless, he looked out the window with a gloomy face. At present, advertisements for the HT Group’s skincare products were plastered in every major mall. There was even some sales personnel that were promoting the products in small booths. The only reason the malls were willing to go to such extreme lengths for Jacob’s group was that their products attracted so many people. Also, since the group’s products were so successful, they could afford to offer bigger sales shares for the malls.
Suddenly, Darren heard the sound of a doorknob turning.
He glanced over and saw that it was Siena, walking in as elegantly as usual.
“What are you doing here again?” he irritably asked.
Before she answered, she showed the piece of paper in her hand. It was a temporary transfer letter from the human resources department. Then, with a sly smile, she said, “I’m here to be your assistant, Mr. Xu.”
Darren’s eyes widened in shock from what he had heard. Out of all the employees in the KING Group, the last person he wanted as his assistant was the woman in front of him. Because of this, he couldn’t help but think to himself, ‘Does the group really have no more employees?’
From the last conversation he had had with Siena, Darren knew that she was really smart and reliable.
However, he also knew that she had a naive crush on him. This made him reluctant to work with her. In the past, Darren wouldn’t have cared about her ogling. He might have even led her on a little.
But now, all he could think of was how rude it was to Bonnie if he fiddled with other women while she was suffering in prison. And since Darren loved Bonnie with all his heart, he couldn’t bear to work with any other women.
“Mr. Xu?” Siena cautiously asked. She was trying to figure out whether he was happy or dissatisfied.
‘That voice… Why does it sound exactly like Bonnie’s?!’
Darren irritably thought to himself. He abs
and ended the call.
Meanwhile, Darren was lost in thought. He couldn’t believe that he had forgotten about Bonnie’s birthday.
“I have to go to the prison to see her tomorrow,” he said out loud but it was like he was talking to himself.
Right after that, he turned toward Siena and spoke to her in a serious tone. “I know what you’re trying to do here, so I’m going to have to make things clear. You have no chance with me. My heart already belongs to someone. And that person is Bonnie!”
As soon as he was finished, he walked out of the room without a care about Siena’s response. He went straight to a patisserie to buy a cake. While waiting for it, he headed to different stores to buy some more gifts.
Since he was the only one who could celebrate with Bonnie, he was prepared to go above and beyond for her. And since he couldn’t take her out to celebrate, he planned to bring the party to her.
The next day, after getting permission from the prison, a prison guard escorted Darren to her cell. While walking along a long corridor, he saw her cute little face at the end of the hall.
“Bonnie… Bonnie…”
He was so excited to see her again that he couldn’t stop mumbling her name. When he was right in front of her cell, he greeted her with the most cheerful smile.
“Bonnie, I’m here to see you again!” Before Bonnie looked over, Darren hid the cake behind his back. He couldn’t wait to surprise her and be with the woman he loved, especially after all the problems he had been dealing with.
Bonnie was wearing a prison uniform that didn’t fit her. The large clothes made her look thinner than her real figure. That being said, a smile still appeared on her pale face when she saw him.
“Wow, you’re here!” Bonnie exclaimed while walking forward and reaching out her hand from inside the cell.
After that, the prison guard opened the door and left without saying anything.
“What are you doing here?”
Bonnie asked while Darren was walking inside her cell. She was happy that he was there, but since he usually only came to visit once a month, she couldn’t help but be curious.
“Why don’t you guess?”
Right after that, Darren took the cake out from behind his back, placed it on the table, and unwrapped it.
In a matter of seconds, Bonnie realized that she had forgotten all about her birthday. Because of this, she couldn’t help but fret about how much time she had been in prison.
