Had Darren seriously just rejected her so blatantly? Siena bit her lower lip, feeling displeased.
“You can leave now,“ Darren said to Harlan.
Once Harlan went out, Darren said to Siena in a cold tone, “Don't think that I don't know what's on your mind. You should remember that you're just a part-time employee here. I advise you to think before you act. Don't make the mistake of thinking you're irreplaceable. I can find ten people just like you in under a minute. Do you understand?“
“I...“ Siena knew that her opinion didn't matter, and that she hadn't even graduated yet. Truth be told, she didn't know how to be competitive. She had only gotten this job out of sheer luck.
So when she heard Darren's comment, she couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.
When she got home, she couldn't stop thinking about his blunt statement. The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt.
“I must get to know this man and make him fall in love with me!“ she muttered to herself. With this goal in mind, Siena sat up from the bed and wiped away her tears. Then, she turned on the computer.
She wanted to find out everything about Darren—including his past.
It didn't take Siena that long to find out that Darren's company had been on the verge of bankruptcy. However, under Darren's leadership, the company had managed to make a comeback, and it was doing so much better now.
Knowing this, she couldn't help but admire Darren even more. He was indeed a capable, charming, and mature man!
“Such a great man like him needs a woman by his side, right?“ she asked herself with a silly grin.
Blinking at her computer screen, Siena wondered if Darren already had a lover, so she quickly looked it up.
Soon enough, she found out all kinds of things about Bonnie, Darren's lover.
Admittedly, she was touched by the love story between Bonnie and Darren. They seemed like a perfect match.
Darren was a faithful and affectionate man, and Bonnie seemed to be a great lady who deserved all the love he could give.
From reading about the couple, Siena seemed to already have a deep understanding of Darren's romantic feelings for Bonnie. She wasn't sure why. Perhaps it was because she and Bonnie both loved the same man. As she looked up more things about the man, her obsession grew stronger.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun enveloped the entire city with its heat. It was scorching hot.
At the HT Group's office, Sam was reporting to Jacob while holding a stack of folders. A PowerPoint presentation could be seen on the projector screen.
“According to our recent data, after we released our skincare products, the sales of the KING Group's skincare products dropped significantly. It went from thirty million sets a month to only five million sets a month.“
Hearing this number, Jacob nodded with a satisfied gleam in his eyes. “The KING Group is still profiting from their sales though...“ he pointed out.
Sam replied, “Yes. However, their current profit is definitely lower than what they used to make. Our sales have increased dramatically, but our profit is still pretty low because the production cost is quite expensive.“
For a moment, Jacob pondered about their next move.
“Well, then, let's strike while the iron is hot. All of our stores online and in the shopping malls will have a promotion event featuring our products in all the series. This activity will be the responsibility of the Planning Department. Remember, this event must leave a strong impression, I don't care about the cost. Just attract more customers.“
