A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1503 Visit and Apology

Harlan had been working for Darren for quite some time now and he knew about the feud between Darren and David since before. However, the issue had happened so long ago that it was hard to say who was to blame in that situation.

He only knew that in this world, there were two people that Darren didn't want to succeed. One was Jacob and the other was David.

"Mr. Xu, don't worry. There's nothing much that David can do, really. He won't affect us that gravely. We just need to wait and see." Harlan tried to comfort Darren as much as he could.

Still agitated and stressed about the situation, Darren picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a big sip.

Time seemed to have stopped as they both stayed quiet. Then, he finally regained his trademark stoic expression. With a deep breath, he looked at Harlan in the eyes and said, "Yes, you're right. David doesn't have as much influence as he thinks. It won't be easy for him to get the upper hand."

He swiftly turned off the television with a cocky smirk.

Harlan just stood there and looked at this boss. Even though Darren tried to look calm and relaxed, Harlan knew that he was still seething with anger.

Others wouldn't understand Darren the way Harlan did. Even though Darren and David were brothers, they were as incompatible as fire and water.

When Darren finally calmed down, Harlan cautiously opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Xu, should we also compensate the victims of the food poisoning incident? I think…"

When he noticed Darren's cold glare, Harlan stopped talking and didn't finish what he was going to say.

"We should leave the HT Group to fend for themselves and handle their own internal issues. It's none of our business. We don't want to get into any unnecessary trouble. And also, you should be more cautious when you speak, Harlan. If someone were to overhear us, we would find ourselves in an uncomfortable situation,"

Darren warned his assistant in a cold, almost menacing, tone. He gave him a serious look.

Once he realized his careless mistake, Harlan lowered his head in shame and gave a slight nod to indicate that he understood.

"Harlan, I want you to keep an eye on David and see what tricks he has up on his sleeve. But don't forget about Jacob, I'm sure he also has something planned."

"Yes, of course!"

Darren went back into his office. Harlan closed the door quietly and let out a sigh as
