Chapter 1425 Preparations


    "Have your parents finally decided on a date?" Carlos interrupted without a single shred of emotion in


    his voice. Then he added, "This kind of thing should''ve been settled as soon as possible."


    Upon hearing what he said, the three people present all had a surprised look on their faces.


    Cherish''s hands started to uncontrobly shake. She pressed her red lips together to stop herself from


    saying something inappropriate. She thought to herself, ''He must be out of his mind!''


    The surprise on the two elders'' faces turning into an expression of difort. They stared intently at


    Carlos. But suddenly, Leah cleared her throat and replied, "Of course they have, they''re just waiting for


    me and your father to check the calendar."


    Leah and Chuck walked out of the room as soon as the former finished speaking, leaving behind


    Cherish, who was still in a dreamlike state.


    "Are you sure you''ve already left the past behind you?" Cherish asked Carlos, still feeling like she was


    walking on clouds. At that moment, she still felt that her senses were quite distorted due to being


    overwhelmed by tremendous satisfaction. "Or did you say that just to shut your parents up?" she added


    hesitantly.


    Carlos had his usual look on his face when he responded. "Can''t I be engaged to you simply because I


    like you?"


    His straightforward answer extremely surprised her. She couldn''t bear the enormous emotions so she


    hurried out of the room.


    She felt like she was about to go crazy!


    Later that night, Carlos bid Nora a sincere farewell. The next day, Cherish apanied Carlos to bury


    the urn at the cemetery.


    Upon reaching the ce, they stared at the old ck and white photo of Nora on her tombstone. In the


    photo, she was smiling like she had used to when she was still alive. The final burden that Carlos


    carried in his heart slowly disappeared.


    But it was still hard for him to let Nora be buried there, due to the negligence of the cemetery staff and


    the fact that this whole incident had been used by Darren to threaten him. But now, all of it was finally


    over.


    Cherish ced some fresh flowers on the tombstone and joined Carlos in lighting a few incenses.


    Carlos then asked her, "Is there anything you wish to say to her?"


    "I don''t know what to say. I''m afraid I''ll only make you feel ufortable," Cherish replied. She then


    slowly shook her head and stared at him with her bright eyes, as if she had thousands of words to say.


    Eventually, her lips moved. "Aren''t you afraid that she''ll get upset with you for bringing me here?"


    "I''m not even worried about you being upset." Carlos quickly replied and rolled up his sleeves. He then


    briefly added, "People have to say goodbye to the past in order to wee a new life, don''t you think?"


    She simply nodded at him and wondered, ''Am I included in his new life then?''


    Meanwhile, in the conference room of the KING Group, the managers of various departments lowered


    their heads while holding documents in their hands. They didn''t have the courage to raise their heads.


    "What''s wrong with these data? These numbers are preposterous! Why does the group only have this


    much ie?" Darren''s screams could be heard way beyond the walls of the conference room.


    Everyone in the room couldn''t help but tremble in fright. Although Darren had only recently been


    appointed president, it was in his power to fire senior employees. No one dared to speak nor raise their


    head.


    When his question was met with silence, Darren turned around. He then scanned the room, as if


    scrutinizing every single one of them. The department heads couldn''t do anything but to remain quiet.


    Their face was full of concern and anxiety no matter how hard they tried to hide it.


    "No one wants to exin this to me? So that''s how you want to do this. Fine. Everyone will work


    overtime until midnight. Don''t even think of going home before one of you can exin it to me! And I


    don''t want any bullshit reasons. Make sure it''s clear and logical!"


    Darren mmed the document furiously on the desk and stormed out of the room in a heartbeat.


    "s, history repeats itself."


    "This is horrible! Absolutely horrible!" The cries of the department heads were heard as soon as Darren


    was out of the room.


    Meanwhile, Darren went straight to his office, still enraged by what had happened. He looked at the


    documents on the desk and felt awfully distressed.


    He had spent all of his assets in acquiring thepany. If thepany could not recover from its


    status right now and start to make the profits that they needed, they could be closer to bankruptcy than


    ever before.


    "President, the human resources department is asking if you need to recruit anyone." Han came in


    with the draft documents from the said department.


    His words brought a glimpse of hope to Darren. All of a sudden, a brilliant idea came to him. Why


    hadn''t hee up with this idea sooner? Now that most of the former key employees were gone, he


    could go ahead and train new ones!


    He believed that things would work out in the end. He shouldn''t give up without trying to acquire his


    own loyal employees!

    So he told Han, "Post an advertisement online to recruit outstanding graduates from different


    universities." And after a short pause, he added, "I''m going to recruit the new employees myself. The


    HR department will only be responsible for epting their resumes, but I''ll interview them myself."


    "Yes,"


    Han briefly replied and went straight to the HR department to convey the order of the president.


    After a while, thetest recruitment information of the KING Group appeared on all major recruitment


    websites. The number of applicants was endless. In a lot of job-seekers'' hearts, the KING group''s


    reputation made it an ideal workce. Many people wanted to apply for the job but felt like they were


    unqualified to do so.


    A countless number of resumes were received by the HR department. The staff there had so much


    work to do that they even had to work overtime. They kept printing and sorting out everyone''s resume


    around the clock so that the president would get them on time.


    "Attention everyone! We must be very thorough in sorting out these resumes. It should all be done by


    tonight," the HR manager loudly eximed to his subordinates. Then, he added, "We still have a lot of


    work to do. You can only go home when everything is finished!"


    "Oh, my God!" Quiet and discreetints could be heard among the employees.


    After the endless efforts of the HR department, all the resumes were sorted out that night.


    Meanwhile, in his office, Darren was staring intently at the financial reports on hisputer screen. He


    then thought to himself, ''Thepany should''ve made this much and..''


    Suddenly, a light knock on the door was heard, which managed to break his train of thought. He


    immediately came to his senses and said, "Come in."


    Han had a hard time walking with such a thick pile of resumes in his arms.


    He then politely said, "President, these are all the resumes of suitable applicants. Please have a look."


    When he finished speaking, he carefully sorted out the resumes and ced them neatly on the empty


    desk next to Darren.


    Darren simply nodded in response. Han then proceeded to walk out of the office and went back to


    his desk right away to resume his own work.


    Even though Darren was still busy with the work at hand, he stretched out his arms and devoted


    himself to reviewing the resumes on his desk. He closely scanned them one by one.


    "Oh, a Master''s degree. This one is highly educated," he read out loud with interest.


    "This one looks like a decent person, but doesn''t have the most ideal education."


    "This one has an extensive work experience. I might consider her." Darren talked to himself out loud


    while he read through the resumes.


    "Wow! This one looks like Bonnie," he mumbled while looking at the photo of one of the candidates. It


    was only then that he realized that he hadn''t gone back to the manor to see Bonnie for quite some


    time.


    When he thought of her, he let out a deep sigh. But when he looked at his watch, it was already six


    o''clock in the evening! He quickly stood up, put on his suit jacket, and buttoned it. He then strode right


    out of his office.


    Han stood up as soon as he saw his boss step out. He approached him and asked, "President, is


    there anything I can do for you?"


    "Get the car ready. I need to head back to the manor," Darren hastily replied.


    Han was left stunned. He couldn''t believe what he had just heard. The president who always


    focused on work had decided to go home early today. He was totally confused.


    "Hurry up and bring the documents along. Don''t you want to go home as well?" When Darren saw him


    still standing in ce, he turned around and snapped at him.


    "Sorry, sir, I''m on it now," Han responded and dashed into the office as fast as he could. He picked


    up the documents and ran to the underground parking lot. He then quickly pulled the car and stopped


    right in front of the building gate. Shortly after, Darren came out. Han immediately opened the car


    door for him. Without wasting another second, Darren got into the back seat.


    As they drove to the manor, a sweet melody flowed inside the car. The scenery outside swept past the


    window like an animated picture.


    While he watched the trees and buildings quickly fall behind, Darren took out his phone and dialed the


    number of the manor.


    In the study of the manor, there was a big round table on which all kinds of medical books were ced.


    Compendium of Materia Medica, Acupuncture Manual, and Medical Manual were among them. Bonnie


    went through every book aimlessly and thought, "Why hasn''t Dannye back yet? Why did he leave


    me by myself?"


    Suddenly, a loud noise pulled Bonnie back to reality. She quickly closed the book in front of her and


    saw shards of ss on the ground. It turned out that when she turned over the book, she had


    identally knocked over the ss of water beside it. She hurriedly went to the bathroom and picked


    up a broom to sweep the shards on the ground before throwing them into the trash can.
