A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1591 A Similar Voice

About an hour of searching later, Harlan was already feeling helpless.

Luckily for him, his search was about to be over with his next click on the computer. When he heard the following girl's audition sample, his eyes lit up like fireworks.

“Wait a second, this girl sounds just like Bonnie! This is great!“

Without wasting another second, Harlan checked the girl's resume and found out that she was still a college student.

Her name was Siena Zhou. She was in junior year of her broadcasting and hosting major in the school of media.

To make sure he wasn't just imagining things, Harlan carefully listened to her voice again. The more he heard her speak, the more astounded he was. It was like he was listening to Bonnie herself!

“Mr. Xu will be very happy about this!“ Harlan enthusiastically exclaimed. After that, he took a look at his watch and found that it was almost six o'clock in the evening.

Because of this, Harlan immediately called the person who had recommended Siena Zhou. When the man answered, Harlan told him that he had chosen Siena for the job and that he needed her contact details.

The man was very accommodating even though it was already quite late for work-related matters. He quickly gave Harlan Siena Zhou's number without much fuss.

Harlan hung up the phone, and then called Siena Zhou. After briefly talking with her, he found out her reason for applying for the job. It was fairly simple —the pay was so high that it was impossible for anyone not to apply.

“Good evening, Ms. Zhou. I was wondering if you're free tonight. If yes, can you come to the company building right now? You've been chosen for the job, and I need to debrief you about your task as soon as possible,“ Harlan said in a professional manner.

Siena Zhou was overjoyed when she heard Harlan's words. Her spirits were so high that she didn't care what time it was and just said yes. “Sure! I can come there right now! Just give me an hour.“

She couldn't believe that she had been chosen even though she was just a college student, especially since she had just been trying her luck when she had seen the recruitment post on a WeChat group. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

To top it all off, the amount of money she was about to get was three times more than any job she could've gotten. All of this just added to her excitement.

That being said, she quickly realized that it was bad to be late for her first appointment, so she got ready as fast as she could. In her mind, since the pay was high, the task must've been extremely urgent.

When everything was settled, Harlan rushed over to Darren's office to tell him that he had finally found what he was looking for. After that, he asked,

“Mr. Xu, do you want to listen to this girl's audition before she comes here?“

Darren was too busy with work to do anything else at that moment, so he just said, “No thanks, I trust you. Tell her to head straight to my office when she arrives.“

Harlan gave a single nod and left right away. But just for safety's sake, he picked up Siena Zhou from her place and drove her straight to the KING Group's headquarters before it became too late at night.

Siena entered the office nervously. When Darren saw her, he asked in a serious tone, “My assistant has told you what you have to do, right?“

Siena Zhou hesitantly nodded in response. She was feeling a bit out of place since it was her first time seeing such a luxurious and elegantly-decorated place with her own eyes.

Additionally, the stoic man in front of her made her feel different compared to when she was with Harlan. To her, Darren's presence felt like two completely different things. One was absolutely terrifying, but on the other hand, he was quite intriguing.

“Well then, if you understood what he said, show me,“ Darren irritably uttered with his eyes fixated on the computer screen in front of him. He didn't even take a single look at Siena Zhou when he handed over Bonnie's phone.

“Okay, I'll do my best,“ Siena Zhou said while taking the phone from the table.

The phone number she needed to call was already dialed. Harlan had told her everything she needed to know. All that was left to do at that point was to give it her all and convince Bonnie's parents that she was their daughter.

“Bonnie, is that you?“ Bonnie's mother's asked as soon as she picked up her phone.

“Yes, Mom, it's me. I just got off work and I thought it would be nice to hear your voice. So tell me, how are you and Dad?“

While this was happening, Darren was slightly pleased to hear how she was talking in such a kind and believable manner.

“I'm fine, my dear, how about you? We miss you so much already. When are you coming home? I hope you haven't forgotten about your family here.“

Siena Zhou just calmly followed the script that Darren had written for her. “How can I possibly forget about my wonderful mother and father? I miss you two so much! It's just that I have a ton of work to do

right now. I'll come home as soon as I'm free.“

“Oh dear, you should still visit us even if you're busy with work. If you don't, you might never get to see us again. You know we're almost at that age, right?“

The script was over, and Siena now had to do the second part of their agreement —chat with Bonnie's parents as if she really was just their daughter. Their conversation went on for a while. But when it was all over, Bonnie's parents had absolutely no clue that they were talking with a random college student.

Since everything was a success, Siena Zhou breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she hung up the phone. After that, she even said a joke.

“That was easier than I thought. I'm grateful for all those times my parents would call me for absolutely no reason.“ When all her nerves from earlier disappeared, she finally managed to show Darren her real smile.

But since Darren was in utter disbelief by what he had heard, he didn't even notice it. He was too busy thinking to himself,

'Why do they sound so similar? Is something like this even possible? I'm sure that if she wasn't standing in front of me right now, I wouldn't even be able to tell the difference.'

Because of this, Darren couldn't help close his eyes for a moment and relive the days when Bonnie was still by his side. In his mind, he truly wished that the voice he was hearing right now wasn't from Siena Zhou, but from the love of his life instead.

After a few more melancholic thoughts, Darren opened his eyes and inadvertently stared at the woman in front of him.

His gaze was so deep that it seemed like he was looking straight into her soul. Additionally, he had a serious look on his face, and he didn't even blink a single time while he was staring at her. All of this caused Siena Zhou to feel shy while her cheeks blushed a rosy red color.

At that moment, her heart was secretly shouting in joy, since a man with such a handsome face, who carried himself like a fine gentleman, was seemingly looking at her like a tiger, ready to pounce. To top it all off, Darren was obviously a very successful man with an absurd amount of wealth.

All of these things combined made it almost impossible to resist Darren's innate charm, especially for a young college student like Siena Zhou.

Despite her age, she had the guts to meet Darren's gaze. The innocent look in her eyes gradually faded away and was replaced by an obsession for Darren.

However, even if Darren seemed like he was interested in her, he honestly didn't care a single bit about her. The only reason he was acting like that was because Siena Zhou's voice had caused him to miss Bonnie even more,

to the point that he even saw Bonnie's face on the woman in front of him.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Darren finally came back to his senses because of it. Then, Harlan opened the door slightly and asked,

“Mr. Xu, is it done already?“

It was only at this point that Darren realized that the college student in front of him was looking at him like a teenage girl in love.

Darren's love for Bonnie was true, and he wasn't going to break her trust just because she wasn't by his side. With this in mind, his heart sank and he couldn't help but glare at Siena Zhou in disgust.

“Yes, take her away now. I have a lot more work to do,“ Darren replied in a frigid manner, and he intentionally acted like she didn't even exist.

Siena Zhou immediately felt that she wasn't wanted there. She was a little stunned since she had really thought that Darren was interested in her. But in the end, she was escorted out with her head down low with a disappointed look on her face.

“Wait a second. That girl might be useful in the future. Offer her a part-time job in the company. If she accepts, she doesn't need to do anything but come here as soon as I need her. Is that clear?“

Harlan was a bit surprised by his boss' words but he just nodded in agreement.

“Okay, Mr. Xu. We'll go now to talk about the details.“ The two left in a hurry. When they were outside, Harlan turned to face her and ask if she wanted the job.

Being completely fascinated by Darren, Siena Zhou was undoubtedly eager to work for the KING Group. Imagining herself having close contact every day with such a handsome man was like a blessing in disguise.

Because of that, she didn't hesitate to take the offer right after Harlan asked her.

She knew she had a lot of free time on her hands, so taking a part-time job and possibly getting romantic with such a rich, handsome CEO while making a bit of money was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

The next day, Siena thought it was a good idea to come to the office even though Darren hadn't called her there. When she saw him walking towards the CEO's office, she cheerfully greeted him while

carrying a box of food.

“Good morning, Mr. Xu. You seem like a man who has no time to eat at home, so I made a very nutritious breakfast for you. I hope you like it!“

As soon as Darren realized it was the annoying college student again, the expression on his face turned cold. He was baffled about why she was there even though he hadn't called her to work that day.

“Harlan, come here!“

Darren exclaimed in a slightly irritated tone. When Harlan heard that his boss wasn't in a good mood, he rushed over as if his life depended on it.

In front of Siena Zhou, Darren handed the box of food to his assistant and said, “It's for you.“

Harlan was caught completely off guard by Darren's words. With a confused look on his face, he thought, 'I thought he was in a bad mood? Why is he giving me breakfast all of a sudden? Do we have a lot of work to do today?'
