Chapter 1504 An Emergency (2/2)

David was Jacob's best friend, and he always had his back. But if Darren struck while they were still down, the resulting damage might be too severe for even someone like David to remedy. His loyalty would not be enough to stabilize the situation.

'David could be a problem, ' Darren thought, sighing.

”I don't send charcoal in a snowstorm. What I do is add fuel to the fire. Let HT Group burn more!” Darren raised his head and looked Harlan straight in the eye with full determination. Word per

shoulder. Looking at David and the exhausted look on his face, Rita felt sorry for him.

Hearing Rita's voice, David raised his head, a surprised look replacing the exhausted expression on his face. ”Hey. What brings you here all of a sudden?” he asked.

He quickly stood up and hugged Rita. He gently kissed the top of her head. Smelling the faint fragrance of her body, he relaxed a little.

Rita tiptoed and kissed David on the cheek. She reached for his eyebrows and smoothed them out. ”I missed you, so I decided to swing by and bring you some food,” she said, holding up the bag of food she was carrying.

She then walked to the tea table at the corner, took out the food from the bag, and carefully laid it out on the table.

Looking at Rita's busy figure in front of the tea table, David could not help smiling. She had always worked like a charm against his aches.

'After this mess is over, it will be better to let Jacob manage the company again, ' David thought as he watched Rita set the table. He did not want to chase his career now. He just wanted to enjoy a peaceful family life.

Rita had read about the HT Group's situation on the internet. She had a lot to talk about with David, so she raised her question boldly during their meal.

”Jacob is such a jerk for leaving me in this mess. I wonder how I should punish him for treating me like this and then walking away.” Speaking of the company's affairs, David gritted his teeth. He felt his appetite slip.

Seeing David's expression, Rita only had the slightest idea how tricky the situation was. Without saying anything, she reached for some food, scooped up some of David's favorite, and put it into his bowl. With a comforting smile, she said to him, ”You are so great that you can always deal with any crisis smoothly. Eat more food to replenish your energy.”
