Chapter 1506 What Are You Doing

Although they were faced with many reporters hired by Darren, Jacob and David were able to answer
all the questions without a hitch.

Thinking that they were probably out of the woods now, Jacob casually pointed at a reporter. She
looked gentle and harmless as she sat timidly in the front row, so Jacob figured that he would give her
a chance to ask a question.

When she stood up, the reporter looked a little shy and embarrassed to be in front of them.

Almost all of the reporters had gotten the answers that they wanted from David and Jacob. The
reporter who stood up didn't seem like the type who would ask intimidating questions that were hard to
answer, so the other reporters didn't pay any attention to her. Some of the reporters were even
preparing to leave the venue and were only waiting for the closing remarks of the press conference.

"Mr. Gu, in the previous press conference that you held, you mentioned that the KING Group is a
competitor of HT Group. You also said that Mr. Darren Xu was always thoroughly beaten by you no
matter how he competed with you. However, as we all witnessed these past few days, the quality of the
KING Group's products was not compromised in any way. They are a complete opposite of the quality
of HT Group's products. Does this mean that you've been defeated by Mr. Xu?"

The female reporter's voice was gentle, but her question was anything but. Jacob felt as if he was
being indicted.

The room went silent as everyone waited for an answer.

David squinted at the female reporter, trying to get a closer look at her face.

If he hadn't investigated and discovered that Darren had hired a bunch of reporters to attend the
conference, then he probably wouldn't have realized that this female reporter was also working for



Darren.

The reporter looked inexperienced. It seemed that she hadn't been in the journalism industry for that
long. As he observed the reporter, David noted that she was the embodiment of the saying that new-
born calves did not fear tigers.

Jacob did not attempt to deflect from the question. On the contrary, he answered it with as much poise
and grace as he had had when answering other questions.

"This current situation is still under investigation. If the investigation shows that the products of our HT
Group genuinely had quality problems, then we will deal with them seriously. But if someone set us up
with ill intentions, then we will make sure that the legal department of the HT Group handles it and
never lets the culprit go, whoever they may be," he explained.

After he finished talking, he raised his head proudly. Then, he looked directly into the camera, which
was broadcasting the press conference live. "He who laughs last laughs best. Regarding the question
about whether I have lost to Darren or not, I say that it's not over yet. Please wait and see. Besides, the
truth will come out sooner and later. I hope a certain someone remembers that."

"Ha-ha!" Darren looked at Jacob on the screen of his television with a smirk. Jacob actually had the
nerve to threaten him like that. "Then… Let us wait and see," he sneered.

Even though Jacob had practically threatened him on live television, Darren was unfazed. After all, he
was the mastermind behind the food poisoning issue. It definitely set HT Group back by a hundred
steps.

Just now, Jacob had claimed that the truth would come out sooner or later.

Unfortunately for Jacob, Darren was confident that they would not find an ounce of evidence that would
tie him to the incident.



"What did he say? Wait and see?" Darren, who was lost in deep thought about Jacob's threat, suddenly
glared at the person who spoke. When he saw that it was just Bonnie, his gaze immediately softened
and became gentler.

Bonnie was taken aback by Darren's cold gaze. She explained carefully, "I knocked on the door a few
times, but I didn't hear any answer. The research and development department told me that this
document is quite urgent, so I figured you would want it as soon as possible."

Her voice got lower as she spoke. The last sentence she said was murmured so softly that it was
almost as if she was whispering to the wind.

All of a sudden, Darren burst into a peal of amused laughter. He stood up, walked over to her, and held
her hand. "I was just thinking about something serious before you came in. I thought you were
someone else."

As she heard Darren's explanation, Bonnie breathed out a sigh of relief. She looked up at Darren again
with a doe-eyed expression. When she was sure that he wasn't in a bad mood, she said, "I thought I
was disturbing you or something."

"You could never disturb me. I told you on the first day you came here that you don't need to knock on
the door to enter my office." He affectionately rubbed Bonnie's hair and guided her to the sofa.

He coaxed her to sit down.

"I need some time to read the document you gave me. You've been busy these past few days. Why
don't you sit down for a while and get some rest?" Without waiting for Bonnie's objection to the matter,
he took the document back to his desk to read it in detail. He had an expression that said he didn't
want to be bothered.

Seeing this, Bonnie curled her lips into a smile as she felt an odd warmth in her heart.



It seemed that Darren still cared about her.

Darren did care about her. He was even concerned about her well-being.

He had witnessed how hard Bonnie had been working these past few days. Despite being even busier
than Bonnie every day, he still felt guilty. He didn't want her to also grow tired from helping his
company.

He decided to leave those thoughts of worry for now and focus on the task at hand. He started to
meticulously read the document and signed it. When he raised his head to ask Bonnie to take the
document away, he saw that the woman had peacefully fallen asleep on the sofa.

Bonnie hadn't been sleeping well these days. It seemed that she wanted to keep herself awake, but
she just felt so drained from working. As a result, she had dozed off as soon as she laid her head on
the sofa. It was the first time she had slept peacefully in days.

Seeing her beautiful sleeping face, Darren smiled affectionately and sighed helplessly.

He didn't understand why Bonnie had to be so stubborn.

Since Bonnie felt so distressed last time, she had begun to work even harder. In addition to her normal
working hours, she continued to study until late at night once she got back home. There were several
times that Darren had had to force her to go to bed because she refused to, even though she was
already tired.

Every day, she would do her best to cover the dark circles under her eyes with makeup. However, they
were getting harder and harder to conceal.

Thinking of her hard work in the last few days, Darren walked over to the sofa and slowly picked her
up. He figured that she would be more comfortable in the lounge. But the moment his hands touched



her knees, she woke up with a small yawn.

Bonnie rubbed her eyes and struggled to sit up.

Realizing that she probably wanted to get back to work, Darren angrily poked her forehead. "You need
to get some sleep. If you keep working so hard, you will get sick and collapse," he scolded.

"But my work…" she started to protest.

"Work, work, work. You're always working every day. If you don't go to bed now, I'll have to fire you."

Shocked at his words, Bonnie blinked up at him to see if he was serious. Then, she reluctantly walked
into the lounge.

After getting some work done, Darren decided to put his work aside and check up on Bonnie in the
lounge.

Under normal circumstances, no outsider was ever allowed in his lounge. Now, there was a young
woman in deep slumber there. The scene felt so relaxing.

Darren walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. He caressed Bonnie's smooth face
unconsciously.

She was the sweetest person he'd ever known. However, when it came to work, she was tough, even
on herself. Everything about her was attractive. She was like a magnet that just kept pulling him closer
and closer.

"You are truly one-of-a-kind." Darren brushed his fingers over her soft, red lips. They were slightly
pouted. She seemed to be having a pleasant dream from the way she was softly murmuring out words.



Her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyelids. Even though she was in deep sleep, her cherry-red
mouth still looked enticing.

Darren couldn't help but lean over so he could take a closer look at her face. When the distance
between the two of them decreased, Darren felt intoxicated by her fragrance.

"What are you doing?" Bonnie suddenly opened her eyes when she felt someone's breath on hers. It
turned out to be Darren, whose face was only a few inches away from her. Realizing this, she couldn't
help but blush.
