Bonnie was frustrated, but she knew that this was just the beginning. She would show these people how capable she was one day.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace back to her office.
However, it was too early for her to be satisfied. After almost a day's busy work, she found that what she had done was only the simplest work. In addition to making coffee, she was tasked with running around and delivering documents.
"See? I told you she was just another pretty face around here. The truth is, she doesn't have any special skills. She may be introduced as the boss's special assistant, but all she does are chores. It's downright laughable."
Hearing what some of the staff said when they passed by her again, Bonnie, who had had just about enough of her awful first day, suddenly burst into anger. She stormed into Darren's office and slammed both her hands on his desk.
"What do you think you're doing, asking Harlan to assign me these silly tasks? I came here to offer you some moral support when you need it, not to be your nanny! If you think I'm not qualified to be your official special assistant, then don't bother. I won't come here anymore. I have better things to do than be whispered about all day," she yelled with tears in her eyes.
She had been feeling wronged the whole day. Bonnie struggled to swallow the lump in her throat. Her eyes burned with angry tears. She had never felt this ridiculed before.
Tears started rolling down her cheeks, but she did not want Darren to see her cry. She turned around and walked out, wiping her tears with the back of her hand.
There was still a group of employees waiting outside to laugh at her. Even if she had become the company's laughingstock now, she would not let herself be humiliated in front of them.
Darren had been so busy with the company's affairs that when Bonnie suddenly yelled at him, he did not realize what had happened. However, in a fleeting moment, he caught Bonnie's red eyes.
'Damn it!' He slammed his fist on his desk, stood up, and quickly chased after her.
On the other side, Bonnie had already walked into the elevator and waited for the doors to close. It was not yet time to get off work and her makeup was ruined by tears, so the employees of KING Group knew what had happened.
But they did not know whether Bonnie was leaving out of her own volition or had been fired by the boss.
A bold employee looked in the direction of Darren's office and then walked to Bonnie with a stack of documents in her arms, pursing her red lips.
"Miss Sun, why are you leaving work ahead of time? Will you be back?"
Seeing the mocking smile on her face, Bonnie did not say anything.
"The more I look at you, the more beautiful you get." The woman looked at Bonnie from head to toe and shrugged. "But it's useless to just be beautiful. You're brainless and unqualified, but you want to work for the KING Group. Even if you have managed to get in on your own, I doubt you'll stay. Such a shame. No one can really have it all."
Despite her great anger threatening to consume her, Bonnie laughed and replied, "No wonder Darren is always so busy. He keeps a group of useless people who only know how to gossip. Without a doubt, he has to do everything around here himself since he owns the company."
She looked down at the woman in front of her and added, "And thank you for your appreciation of my beauty. You should try making yourself presentable some time. I don't think anyone will fall in love with you with that appearance."
Those words poked the woman on her sorest spot, and her anger was instantly ignited. She pointed at Bonnie and started screaming. "You really have nothing other than a pretty face! How uneducated you are! But I guess it's not that strange at all. Women like you need not be educated. All women like you are good for is seducing and manipulating men. Otherwise, why were you only delivering documents the whole day?"
"Did I hire you to pick fights with your co-workers?" Darren grabbed Bonnie by the waist and pulled her into his arms.
As soon as the woman saw what Darren did, her face turned pale. She quickly lowered her head and greeted, "Mr. Xu." She was so angry that she had not even noticed Darren's arrival. Seeing that he was so protective of Bonnie, she knew that she was doomed to be fired for the way she had spoken to her.
