Darren frowned a little bit and brought Bonnie's hands near his lips. After that, he gently blew on her wound and then asked in a low, concerned tone, "Does it still hurt?"
His simple and kind gesture made Bonnie's heart skip a beat. She was so flustered that her cheeks turned to a rosy red color. After a few seconds, she replied in a soft voice, "Don't worry, it's just a scald. I'm perfectly fine."
Unfortunately, Bonnie's words went through Darren's one ear and out from the other. He just glanced at her and said, "Stay here. I'll be back in a minute."
Before Bonnie could even respond, the man in front of her was already turning around and walking away.
She was left there frozen in place and in a daze. The only thing she could do was watch Darren's back while he headed upstairs.
After a while, he returned downstairs with a first aid kit in his hand. He placed the box down on a nearby table and took out a special ointment to treat burns.
After that, Darren somewhat forced Bonnie to sit down on the sofa. She didn't want any treatment, but her wrist was already in Darren's inescapable grasp. Shortly after, the man lowered his head and carefully applied the ointment on her wound with a cotton swab.
The worried expression on Darren's face made Bonnie's heart beat even faster than before.
After a few seconds, a cold sensation started to spread all over her hand. The pain she had felt earlier was almost entirely gone. If it weren't for the glaring burn mark, she wouldn't even remember the accident. On the other hand, Darren still had an extremely concerned look on his face, even though Bonnie was completely fine.
After Darren was finally finished treating her wound, Bonnie withdrew her hand from his grasp. Then, she said, "The food is getting cold. I'll go to the kitchen to bring it out, so we can eat."
Before she could get up from the sofa and head to the kitchen, Darren interrupted her. "Just stay there. I'll go and bring the food to the table."
Bonnie couldn't believe what she had just heard. She was in a confused daze. Meanwhile, Darren had a serious expression on his face and said, "From now on, you're not allowed to cook ever again."
Upon noticing Darren's overwhelming care for her, Bonnie playfully winked and smiled at him. Then, she replied, "I can't agree with that. I like cooking for you nowadays."
Darren didn't seem affected by her words and kept a stoic expression on his face. The only thing that changed about him was his eyes. They were now as sharp as a knife.
"Just be a good girl and listen."
His low, manly voice that was full of concern made it almost impossible for any woman to disagree with him.
As a result, Bonnie could only nod in agreement to his request. After that, she urged him to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes. They proceeded to eat shortly after.
When they finished their meal, it was already ei
t popped up in her head.
At that moment, she seemed to have really fallen in love.
Meanwhile, Darren was looking through the crack of Bonnie's door. He saw her cute tantrums and couldn't stop smiling.
That night was quite memorable for the both of them.
The next day, in the HT Group building, Jacob was riding the exclusive elevator to his office.
When he arrived at the top floor, he sat done and started his usual routine. He listened to his assistant's reports before getting down to handling urgent business matters.
Halfway through his work, he realized something.
"By the way, where's David?"
Jacob asked his assistant with a subtle frown on his face. Normally, David would have arrived at the company by that time, but he was nowhere to be seen.
The assistant didn't want to upset Jacob, so he meekly replied, "Mr. Xu said he was going on strike."
Upon hearing this, Jacob's frown grew worse. Frightened by his tense expression, his assistant didn't dare to utter another word.
Right after handing over some documents, he left in a hurry. Only when he was outside of Jacob's office could he breathe a sigh of relief.
Since he was left all alone in his office, Jacob took out his mobile phone. His slender fingers slid over the screen as he made a call.
Shortly after, the call was connected. David's hoarse voice came from the other end of the line. "Hey, there, busy man, what can I do for you?"
Jacob replied in a frigid manner, "Why are you on strike?"
David chuckled at Jacob's question. A few moments later, he explained his actions. "The company doesn't need my expertise anymore. Since I've completed that difficult task you assigned to me, I'm entitled to a little break, right? Besides, I won't live long if you work me like a horse."
Jacob didn't seem to agree with his words. His gaze narrowed while he spoke in an even colder tone than before, "The company is not mine alone."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
