Chapter 1514 Retreat After Completing The Task (2/2)

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.

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.”
