A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

“That's the honorable thing to do, right? This company can't let its employees feel wronged. If they worked hard, we have to reward them,“ Harlan said with a straight face while completely ignoring the young man's expression. Getting back to the point, he looked at the manager and added, “Anyway, I have to go on a business trip for quite a while, so find a reliable person to be Mr. Xu's assistant in the meantime.“

“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.

Right after that, she took out an examination report from the HR department and added, “But this afternoon, I was chosen out of forty candidates for this position.
