The Spoiled Girl

The thin man smiled as if he had expected Darren's answer. "Important people are not valued in your company but replaced by incompetent ones. I think that's funny and very wrong."

After a pause, he continued, "I'm with another company now, Mr. Xu, a company that values me. I'm sorry, but I reject your offer."

As soon as he finished speaking, the thin man lounged on the sofa, sipped his tea, and started watching TV.

The intention of his words was very clear.

The bald man did not say anything, but he did not openly object to what the thin man said.

It seemed that the two of them shared the same view.

The room fell silent. Only the sound from the TV could be heard.

Darren cleared his throat and said, "Very well."

He stood up and bid the two men goodbye. He then stepped out of the room with Harlan following suit.

The moment Darren closed the door, his knees buckled. He staggered and almost fell down. Harlan caught him and helped him lean against the wall.

"I've made an appointment with someone else. It's in an hour," Harlan said.

"Good. Let's go," Darren replied. Then he sighed and added, "They're right. There's something wrong with the company's management. But we can't give up as long as there's still a chance."

Darren waved his hand, indicating that he could stand without assistance.

He closed his eyes and kept leaning against the wall. No one knew what he was thinking.

Harlan looked at him and said nothing.

A few seconds later, Darren opened his eyes. They looked clear now and hopeful.

"Come on," Darren said, patting Harlan on the shoulder.

She quickly turned around and walked a few steps away. She forced her tears back.

Darren chuckled and shook his head. He walked to Bonnie and put his hand on her shoulder. "What's wrong? We don't see each other for a few days, and then you turn into a crybaby?" he teased.

Bonnie's melancholy was immediately dispelled. She glared at him and started walking away.

Now she was angry.

"Well, since I'm obviously not welcome here, I should just go," Darren sighed and shook his head, looking at Bonnie's back.

Hearing this, Bonnie turned around.

At that moment, she met Darren's teasing eyes and rolled hers at him.

She was honestly afraid that he would really leave again.

She had not asked him to stay before.

"Don't leave. Please," she said.

Darren raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought you were not happy to see me back."

Bonnie sighed and said in a heavy voice, "I am. I'm sorry. Please stay."

Darren was a little stunned, but soon he responded, "All right. Let's get inside."

Then, he put his hand on Bonnie's back and led her into the manor.
