Chapter 1528 Was He Really All Right (2/2)

He stood there with a distressed expression while Bonnie sat in front of him with deep resolve in her eyes. The

ppeal for bail had failed.

Meanwhile, at the office, Bonnie was on her way to the pantry to get some water. On her way there, she happened to overhear some of her colleagues talking about what had happened to Darren.

”Hey, have you heard? Mr. Xu was arrested last night. I'm sure it's a big deal since he was denied bail.”

”Do you think this company will be closing soon?”

”I'm not worried about that. Several companies already approached me. I'm sure I'll find work if this place shuts down.”

When Bonnie was about to leave, the people who were talking about the company's closure opened the door to the pantry and saw Bonnie just standing there. They knew they had been overheard, and that made the atmosphere between them quite awkward.

”Hi Bonnie, I didn't expect you to be here,” one of them uttered in an embarrassed voice. It only took a few seconds for them to forget what had just happened when they realized that Bonnie was a good source of information. One of the girls enthusiastically grabbed Bonnie's arm and asked, ”Aren't you close to Mr. Xu? Do you know what happened to him? Please tell us. We're colleagues after all. We shouldn't hide things from each other.”

Bonnie withdrew her hand in disgust and her fingers quickly turned pale. With a chillingly frigid voice, she replied ”Nothing will happen to the company, so don't worry about looking for other jobs.”

The girl who had asked the question wasn't satisfied with Bonnie's answer. However, the terrifying look on Bonnie's face made the girl stop dead in her tracks.

At that moment, Bonnie's colleagues knew it was time to leave, so they said their goodbyes and left. On their way back, the girls continue talking in a low voice. ”Why did you ask her that? You can't speak ill of Mr. Xu like that in front of her. Don't you know that they are practically married?

She was calm earlier, but I'm willing to bet my money that she's crying and praying for Mr. Xu's safe return.”

As a result of Bonnie's absentmindedness, the hot liquid in her cup spilled and scalded her fingers. The pain made her accidentally drop the whole mug to the ground, spilling tea everywhere.
