Bonnie looked up towards the sky but the bright blue sunny sky had already disappeared. In turn, it had been replaced by an overwhelming darkness. In the yard, the strong gust of wind rustled the leaves of the trees and even lifted up the dust from the ground. As a result, it wildly spread everywhere.
A storm was certainly coming.
And in just a moment's notice, rain began to fall at the exact second that the two entered the door.
Raindrops the size of beans pattered against the edge of the roof.
Bonnie stood at the door and watched the rain pour down. She couldn't resist reaching out to touch the droplets.
The moment the rain made contact with her hand, she felt an icy cold shiver throughout her body. She then exclaimed, "It hurts!"
That day, the small droplets of water were, for some reason, like hailstones. It felt like they were stones being thrown down from the sky.
Upon seeing the unusual expression on her face, Darren took Bonnie's hand and pulled it back into the house. And in the process, he was also hit by the raindrops.
He felt somewhat confused.
The weather reminded him of the current situation that the company was in right now.
It was unstable, like a city full of ups and downs.
The rain quickly accumulated and formed puddles on the ground. The water splashed towards them, causing them to get a little wet.
Bonnie seemed to feel the same way as Darren. She looked at the dark clouds and had an ominous expression on her face. No one could tell what was going on in her mind.
For Darren, Bonnie was like a pill that gave never-ending happiness. She was the only thing that brought him any light during the dark times of his life.
The thoughts that troubled his heart disappeared whenever he was with Bonnie. But whenever she fell silent, all of those repressed feelings would come back to him.
Even when it was time for dinner, he could only look at the dishes on the table. His mind was so focused on trying to fix his problems that he couldn't eat a single bite.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, and silently got up from the table and went upstairs.
Bonnie wanted to call out to him, but when she saw how lifeless his posture was, she stopped herself and remained quiet.
'Maybe there's something wrong with him?
Maybe... I should give him some space for now, ' Bonnie thought to herself.
A frown subconsciously made its way onto her face. She looked at Harlan, the one who had brought Darren back. She was confused as to why he would look that miserable, so she asked Harlan, "What happened earlier?"
Harlan didn't want to tell her at first. But when he remembered how happy Darren got whenever he heard Bonnie's name, he decided to tell her the truth. "Something bad happened at the company. A lot of the senior executives want to leave their positions. Understandably, Mr. Xu is extremely worried."
Bonnie simply nodded in return. She had nothing to say so she just continued to eat her meal.
But somehow, she suddenly felt that the food in her bowl had lost its taste.
Upon witnessing her indifferent behavior, Harlan became even more anxious. The only reason he had told Bonnie about what had happened was that he wanted her to comfort Darren.
"Miss Sun, Mr. Xu hasn't had dinner yet,"
