A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1497 Go To Work

Darren was not a talkative man. As soon as Bonnie fell silent, the atmosphere suddenly turned eerily quiet.

For several minutes, Bonnie tried to think of a topic that she and Darren could talk about to ease the uncomfortable and embarrassing silence between them. But as soon as she looked into Darren's eyes, her thoughts scattered and vanished altogether.

"You..."

"It's been a long time since that happened. Why are you still shy?" Darren teased.

"Of course, I'm shy. Why wouldn't I be? It's only been one night. Don't tell me you've forgotten everything!" It would be better if Darren had not mentioned it, but because he had, Bonnie decided to vent her anger.

Seeing Bonnie's bright eyes, Darren turned away and took a piece of tissue.

At the mention of yesterday's kiss, Darren also felt a little uneasy, just like Bonnie.

He should have been working. He did not know why he had been a little out of control last night.

But...

it was not such a bad idea to lose control occasionally.

Darren touched his lips. He could still feel and taste yesterday's kiss as he wiped his mouth with the tissue.

"Yes," he finally uttered. His cold attitude made Bonnie a little frustrated.

'Am I the only one who cares?' she thought.

Depressed, Bonnie took a look at Darren and soon noticed something.

"Wait! Why did you touch your lips just now? Also, your ears seem to be a little red." In the past, Bonnie would never talk to Darren like this, but because of the kiss they had shared yesterday, she decided to be more daring.

'Maybe I am a little special to him after all, ' she thought.

Seeing the amusement in Bonnie's eyes, Darren quickly schooled his features into neutrality. He said, "No, I didn't. And no, my ears aren't red."

Despite the hard expression on Darren's face, Bonnie was sure that he was as fragile as glass in front of her at this time. But she truly liked him a lot. She did not have the heart to shatter his ego, so she changed the subject and said, "I know you have a lot of things to deal with in your company. You must return to work later."

As she spoke, her straight back slowly slumped. She shrank in her seat, feeling a little depressed. "After you leave, I will be left alone in this big house again."

Bonnie's words finally broke the embarrassing silence between them, and the atmosphere in the room returned to normal.

"Aren't there servants at the house?"

"It makes no difference whether they are there or not." She leaned forward, rested her chin on her hands, and looked at Darren expectantly. "Can I go out for a walk today?"

Darren knitted his eyebrows at the request. "I'm not with you. You can't go out alone."

Hearing this, Bonnie felt a little disappointed. She thought their relationship had changed a little after last night, but now, it seemed that it was still the same.

She quickly masked the disappointment on her face. She asked again, "All right then. If I can't go for a walk, how about I accompany you at work?"

"Stop it," Darren replied impatiently.

Bonnie leaned closer, grabbed Darren's hand, and said seriously, "I know you are very busy, and handling company affairs is troublesome. I may not be able to help you. Even so, I still want to stay by your side and keep you company through the difficulties." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

This was really her main purpose in asking, to be with him when he was facing challenges.

"Listen to me, I won't be able to take care of you while I work." Thinking of Bonnie being with him at the office, Darren did not agree.

"I don't need you to take care of me! You may forget some things when you get extremely busy. If I come with you, I can help you and offer you relief when things get complicated." Seeing that Darren still did not want to say yes, Bonnie decided to take a soft approach.

"Don't worry about me. I can handle every problem I encounter. You have to believe in my capabilities. Maybe I can be of great help to you," she added.

As far as Darren could remember, it was rare for Bonnie to act like a spoiled kid in front of him. After hesitating for a while, he finally agreed.

When Bonnie followed Darren into the car headed for the office, she gave him two sweet kisses as a reward.

There were indeed a lot of things to deal with at the company. Darren only had time to ask Harlan to introduce Bonnie to everyone as the special assistant to the chairman of the board, and then he buried himself in documents that needed attending.

He did not have time to arrange tasks for Bonnie to work on, so the responsibility naturally fell on Harlan.

"Miss Sun, your main job is to assist your boss. I believe you already know some of his personal habits. As for the rest, you may need to adapt yourself to the KING Group first."

Harlan was clear about Bonnie's identity. This was the first time that Darren brought her to the office. Originally, he had thought that Bonnie was just another one of his boss's playthings, but he was clearly wrong as Darren had now brought her to the office and even introduced her to everyone. Harlan was now uncertain about Bonnie's position in his boss's heart.

In his mind, he could not really treat Bonnie as a special assistant. He did not know whether she was capable or not, and most important of all, he could not exhaust her.

Harlan glanced at Darren, who was now busy with his work, and thought it would be better to just treat Bonnie as Darren's personal assistant.

"I've already informed the employees. If you need their help or cooperation, you can go straight to them." After saying that, Harlan turned to leave. Before shutting the door, he turned around and said, "Our boss always drinks coffee when he's working. You may need to get used to getting it for him."

"Okay. I'm going to prepare it now," Bonnie answered immediately.

She was quite clear about Darren's living habits, so she was not worried that Darren would be dissatisfied with her work. She looked at Darren, who was already buried in busy work, and she smiled confidently. She believed that he would soon see the advantages of her being with him here.

While Bonnie prepared to distinguish herself, her sudden presence stirred quite an uproar among the KING Group employees.

"When we entered the KING Group, we had to try our best to undergo and pass several challenges and defeat our competition. This girl only had to flatter the boss to become his special assistant!" one of them said.

"Yes, you are right. We really need to meet this new assistant and see if she is truly capable," another chimed in.

"This is ridiculous. Do you really think she is even qualified for the job? Take a look at all the staff in this office. We are all achievers and have made significant contributions to this company. Who is she anyway?" one commented.

"I think the same thing. She does have a pretty face, though. As for the rest..."

When Bonnie went to prepare Darren's cup of coffee, she overheard the whispers among the employees. Inevitably, her good mood turned sour.
