A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

The more Darren heard the voice, the angrier he became, to the point that he stood up and took a look at the seat behind Bonnie. With just one glance, he clenched his teeth.

Sure enough, the voice just now had come from his enemy, Jacob.

As for the young man Jacob was with, Darren could not believe his eyes. He felt his blood boil in a mixture of rage and frustration.

Looking at the young man with glasses and a smile on his face, Darren felt extremely annoyed and disappointed.

The young man was the one in charge of the research and development department at KING Group. Darren remembered promoting him personally not that long ago. As the head of the department, that young man had mastered the core technology of the company. If he truly planned to accept the HT Group's offer of a higher salary, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Darren ignored Bonnie and walked toward Jacob and the young man who were still talking.

"I'm just a job seeker, and salary is really important to me. With that being said, I'm grateful for what Darren has offered me. Darren has helped me a lot, and I want to be loyal to him. I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. I'm afraid I can't accept your job offer."

Upon hearing this, Jacob showed a little impatience on his face. He forced a smile and said earnestly, "It's important to know who your benefactor is, but people naturally seek better working environments and they take the opportunity as soon as it presents itself. If you want, you can demand a figure for your salary. As long as I can afford it..."

"It's not about the salary," the young man said with a polite smile, his face turning red.

"Mr. Gu, you are indeed a shrewd businessman. You are so shameless. Can't you understand that he has already refused your offer? You are now forcing him," interrupted Darren with a triumphant smirk. He walked directly to the young man, patted him on the shoulder with a satisfied grin, and mockingly stared at Jacob.

To be honest, he had not expected that the young man would be able to resist Jacob's offer.

"Mr. Xu." The young man raised his head and acknowledged Darren with respect. His face turned paler as he met Darren's knowing gaze. He stood up from his seat and bowed to Darren uneasily.

He had planned to deal with Jacob in private, but his boss had discovered them. Things were quite awkward now. He did not know how much Darren had heard. 'What if he thinks that I am going to quit?

If Darren grows suspicious of me, I won't be able to set foot into KING Group ever again, ' he thought to himself. Beads of sweat started to form on his forehead as he quickly explained himself.
