Ex-wife, Please Come Back
Chapter 136 Bored Stiff

Alice made an inspection tour around the jewelry store. She was very attentive on her business, and the shop was finally running normally.

Sure enough, where there is a will, there is a way. As a girl who was situated in business field since an early age, Alice knew how to run business even if she had no experience. As soon as she took over the jewelry store, she successfully ran the business on the right track. If time could travel backward, maybe she would be interested in learning business as her major.

Hearing the familiar ringtone, Alice took the phone from the table listlessly, wondering who was calling. The moment she saw the caller ID, she couldn't suppress her ecstasy. It was Jacob! After clearing her throat, she calmly pressed the answer key. "Hello, Jacob."

"Alice, I shouldn't have blamed you for what happened last time. I should have trusted you. Would you like to come to the villa this weekend and we could have a talk. I also have someone to introduce to you. Jacob apologized.

Hearing this, Alice felt a mixture of anxious, happy and expectant. She pretended to be calm, "Okay, I need your reasonable explanation, or I won't accept your apology."

"How are you doing recently? Is there any fresh news?" Jacob suddenly changed the topic. His intonation was quite natural, as if he was asking things like "have you had your meal", or "I've just had a shower". "Well, I'm living in my previous apartment. I come to the jewelry store in the Times Square every day because I feel bored. Some of my friends like to go to pubs or karaoke. You know, I don't like that at all." Alice tried her best to show her high taste and explain her current situation to Jacob. By doing this, she just wanted to tell him how lonely she was now.

Jacob asked in a flat tone, "Oh, really? How is the jewelry store?"

Jacob was a smart man. He knew that Alice would have some research on the dealer in order to get more useful information. Through her, Jacob could easily get the information he needed. Once a man became shrewd, he might even scare himself. Jacob smiled, as if he was sure to win.

"Well, not bad till now. I'm on the right track now. I already known something about jewelry industry. I used to hate doing business, but now I replace it interesting." Alice didn't lie. She used to having no interest in doing business. She just felt that the businessmen were quite powerful. She didn't expect that she could become a very powerful person now.

"Well, let's talk about it when we meet. I have a meeting to attend." The smile at the corners of Jacob's mouth deepened. For the first time, he felt that he could face all these so calmly.

"Bye. Go ahead with your work, See you this weekend. "The corners of Alice's mouth were as sweet as honey, and she had already been happy, but now it was the time to show it. "Bye." After saying that, Jacob hung up the phone.

Jacob's face darkened. He didn't expect that he would end up like this. After all, they used to love each other. Now he could face up to this relationship. He was tired of the game of run and chase. Now, he finally had the courage to stop the relationship. It made him feel relaxed.

Jacob took out a cigarette. He seldom smoked in the office. He had to walk alone in the future. Thinking of this, Jacob lit the cigarette and took a deep drag.

When Jacob smoked for the first time, he didn't know how to absorb the smoke into the lung. Jacob coughed a lot before he learnt that. Now, after countless years of training, he could finally puffing on the cigarette.

But it wasn't something to be proud of. At least he knew that Sara didn't like him smoking from the bottom of her heart. But it was difficult to quit smoking. After all, it had been a habit kept for many years and smoking helped him to overcome sadness and stay focused while thinking.

Jacob knew that he needed to lose something before he could gain more. In one's life, there would be some special people and some affairs. Once you meet them, you can never abandon them. They were tod beautiful too be abandoned once acquired. Jacob thought as he squinted.

The voice of Cindy came from outside, "Mr. Jacob, the matters of Director Shi has been arranged. You have transferred 20% of your shares to Director Shi. Now you still have 35% shares, and you are still the biggest shareholder of the company.

"

Jacob opened his eyes. The first time he heard of this name, he thought Cindy was a beauty. He didn't know whether the stuff of human resources department of the company had the similar misconception. In a word, judged only from the appearance, Cindy couldn't be regarded as a beauty.

She was a thin and dark girl. There were little black freckles on her face, which looked quite ugly.

But there was one thing that made Jacob feel comfortable. Cindy always knew what he was thinking. Even on the first days after she had just became his assistant, Jacob also felt as if they were old friends. Cindy was the ideal assistant in Jacob's mind. She was mature, knowledgeable and reversed. Her face might be a pity for others, but it was also perfect for Jacob. In this way, less trouble would be made. More importantly, there won't be misunderstandings between Sara and him.

Jacob looked up at Cindy and said, "Well done. Thank you. I'll go to meet Alice this weekend, you can go with me."

Jacob brought Cindy with him for fear that he might be unable to see through Alice. After all, he was not good at dealing with women. And only woman knew what another woman was thinking in her mind. "Okay, Mr. Jacob. I'm going to work now. Call me if you need anything." Then Cindy walked out of the office respectfully and closed the door from outside.

Jacob sat in the chair and pinched his nose. The wound on his shoulder was still aching. He would remember the accident forever. If someone wanted to hurt him, or even kill him, he would only fight back more fiercely.

Let's see who would be the final winner.

Sara was happily preparing to meet Bess and Noah's family with Bess. Although she didn't think it was that appropriate, it made her feel happy to have the chance to witness the happiness of her good friend. Bess was immersed in the happiness of her passionate love all day long, feeling that it was the luckiest thing in her life to meet Noah. It was not easy for her to reach this step. Although Bess thought it was a bit too fast, she couldn't wait to get married after they reached an agreement. She had never wanted to get married like this before.

If she must get married, she would marry with a person who could give her happy life. Noah was the man who could give her happy life.

Bess was going to buy some clothes especially for the meeting. Although the room was full of her clothes, she still felt that she had no clothes to wear.

Before she met Noah, Bess felt that most of the marriages in the world was unfortunate, and she was even afraid of getting married. Except for their parents, few people could have happy life after their marriage. After all, it was very normal for couples to get divorced.

Bess was used to see couples torturing each other in marriage. Sara and Jacob was a typical example. She thought to herself that if her husband was the same as Jacob, she would rather stay single all her life.

In a good marriage, men and women could cure each other to make a perfective aspect. This perfective aspect could accomplish great cause. If Bess was sick, then Noah would be the only medicine to cure her.

Noah had also been searching all his life for a suitable person. Or a person of necessity. But it was not until he met Bess that he realized that his life was destined.

They were destined to form a family together. Noah also hoped that when he met Bess's parents, he could receive their sincere blessings. After all, marriage was an affair relating to both family. At present, only with parents' blessing could one get true love.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
