Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 278 A Gift

When they came back, the happiest person was not Nelson or Queena, but was Ted. He looked at Jonas with an aggrieved face and said in a voice like a dissatisfied housewife that he was finally back.

The moment Melinda saw Ted, she suddenly felt that what he said on the phone was not a big deal. They played not long ago, but Ted was clearly emaciated.

Jonas was also surprised. After all, Jonas was the one who promoted Ted and he knew Ted was capable. But there was only one reason to make Ted look like this: Ted didn't really believe in his abilities.

Ted had always regarded Jonas as his idol and had been learning from him. He deeply felt that he did not have the ability as Jonas, so it was inevitable for him to think more carefully when doing things.

His work efficiency was nothing comparable to that of himself when Jonas was here.

"There are still a lot of chances for you in the future. Soon you can successfully lose weight," said Jonas smilingly, as he patted on Ted's shoulder kindly.

Hearing this, Ted' face turned dark. Seeing this, Melinda couldn't help smiling. But there was no sign of joking on Jonas's face.

He also realized that he was too busy and had little time to accompany Melinda, so he felt it necessary for him to have such a trip.

Ted arranged a driver to send Melinda back to the Gu's mansion, while Jonas was taken by him to deal with the business in the company.

Nelson saw Melinda go back home and directly asked her why she didn't play for more time, but he was gratified to see she became better.

"I have been asking for leave these days. It's time to go back to work,"

Melinda consoled Nelson. She counted the time she had been working recently and assumed that it might be someone else's rest time.

Nelson had no objection to her career. He nodded in agreement. "It's not good to keep this going."

Taking a look at Melinda, Nelson touched her and flinched back the words that he was about to encourage Melinda to start her own business.

Since she hadn't been to work for a long time, Melinda felt herself a little lazy. The next morning, it was Jonas who woke her up. She rubbed her eyes, and just wanted to go back to her comfortable bed.

"You'd better stay at home and take care of yourself. I can make money to support our family." Jonas pinched her nose, while Melinda lazily opened one eye and squinted at him.

After a long struggle in mind, Melinda finally got up and lay in bed. After having breakfast in a hurry, she asked Jonas to drive her to the company.

"Mr. Cheng, good morning!" It was only after Melinda clocked in that she entered the company and saw Victor standing in front of her. In the past, she would have avoided him if she wanted to avoid arousing suspicion. But today, she greeted him with a splendid smile.

Melinda's smile dazzled Victor. He thought that he might have mistaken. He looked around and saw a lot of colleagues, and many of them were looking at the two of them.

"Melinda."

Victor was still surprised, but he still greeted her. Melinda smiled and then turned into the elevator.

The elevator should be very crowded at this time. However, other employees were just standing outside and watching the scene that Victor and Melinda were in the elevator.

Noticing that, Victor felt a little embarrassed. At the same time, Melinda looked at the people outside the elevator with a smile, she reminded, "The elevator has arrived. Don't you go upstairs?"

Being reminded like this, the crowd felt a little embarrassed. They pushed each other into the elevator. The others pretended to have other things to run to the front desk.

The atmosphere in the elevator was somewhat dull, and everyone felt very uncomfortable. Only Melinda felt as comfortable as a fish in water.

She wore a pinkish purple dress, looking young. Her hair spread over her two sides, wearing exquisite earrings, and matched the necklace around her neck. It looked simple, but noble.

It was inevitable that those people looked at her with a little envy. This set of jewelry also included bracelets. Anyone who was wise immediately recognized that it was the latest and limited edition of A brand.

One might be unable to afford it even if she had money. Only the one who had a high status was able to buy it.

"Mr. Cheng, when are you free today? I will go to you for cancel the vacation later." After walking out of the elevator, Melinda asked Victor. She was not in good mental condition at that time, and she had just had a miscarriage. So she only asked for leave, without telling him when she would come back.

That was because Melinda was familiar with Victor, or it was because of Jonas. Otherwise, she must have been fired by the company.

However, her way of working still aroused gossip. When others asked for a leave, they would have to work for a long time in advance. Only she could ask for a leave at anytime and anywhere.

"No need. I will let my secretary handle it," Victor said and Melinda nodded. She then walked to her department.

The colleagues were surprised to see Melinda. Many of them even thought she had resigned, so many things were put on her desk.

The neat table was now in a mess. Even the chair was not spared.

She walked to her seat and looked around at her colleagues. She smiled and said in a clear voice. But it was like something heavy hitting everyone's heart.

"It seems that everyone misses me very much. You sent me so many things,"

Melinda said. These people couldn't help looking up at her as she spoke. They felt that she was different. Those who occupied her desk all stayed silent, ignoring her.

In the past, Melinda must have felt wronged, but now, her smile was as bright as lightening, which made people feel bad, as if their dark side was exposed.

"But unfortunately, I don't like any of these things,"

Melinda still said with a smile. She then found a big trash in the public area and picked up a cup at random. The letter "G" was engraved on the game handle. Melinda read it out and mumbled, "Could it be wrong?"

Not far away, a person tensely looked at the cup in Melinda's hand, wanting to go up and take it back. But she looked at the other people, and suppressed it.

So, they waited for each other to step out first. In the end, Melinda threw almost all the things into the trash can. Looking at the much cleaned table, she patted her fingers with satisfaction.

The faces of the group of people looked worse. Melinda was also very ruthless. She threw many office rubbish and directly asked the office cleaner to take them away.

The desk was still very dirty, and the documents on it had accumulated a little dust. It was not until an hour later that Melinda settled down in her chair.

Rubbing her sore and soft arm, Melinda began to directly deal with the e-mails of this period. She hadn't worked for a long time and hadn't been in working state for a long time.

Melinda was reading a few pieces of manuscript. When she was in a calm mood, the phone rang inappropriately.

"What's wrong?"

Melinda thought that Jonas must call her for he had something important to say. After all, he had just go back to the company, so he must have a lot of work to deal with. But unexpectedly, Jonas just made a call to her for greeting.

"Have you adapted to your work?"

Jonas asked in concern. In fact, he was very worried about Melinda's mental state and health. According to him, she should stay at home for at least half a year.

"Yeah, everything is fine," Melinda said as she nodded. Thinking that Jonas couldn't see her and thought she was stupid, she burst into laughter.

Hearing Melinda's laughter, Jonas felt that his heart was softened again.

"Take good care of yourself in the company. Don't let yourself be wronged, okay?" Jonas said. 'Don't forget that I'm behind you, ' he added in his heart.

"I know. I'm not a kid. Do you call just to say this?" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Melinda felt that it was too inefficient to chat with Jonas while doing work. There were piles of unread emails in her mailbox, so she didn't want to waste her time on this meaningless thing.

"Yes." There was a trace of embarrassment on the face of Jonas. He wanted to say that he missed her a little bit, but he didn't say it out. Hearing that there was nothing important, Melinda told him she was very busy and hung up the phone.

Melinda worked overtime today to deal with everything, except for the draft she owed during her leave.

After work, she met Victor again in the elevator, and Melinda still greeted him first.

"Why did you work overtime alone?" Victor asked. He felt sorry for Melinda. He knew that she had gone through a lot, but he never wanted to make it clear.

Melinda had her pride. The more brilliant her smile was in front of people, the more pain she had at the back.

"I have a lot of things to do," Melinda said casually. She didn't seem to be bothered by anything. However, her tiredness could not be hidden from her eyes. Noticing that, Victor only said that she had time to deal with the company's affairs slowly.

Jonas was waiting for Melinda downstairs. Seeing that they went downstairs together, he cast a warning glance at Victor.

"Mr. Cheng, goodbye."

Melinda waved her hand politely to bid farewell. Then she walked up to Jonas and took his hand in hers, heading to the car.

"Let's go back. I'm starving to death," Melinda whispered. But when Jonas heard it, his indifference suddenly disappeared and turned to be gentle.

"I have brought you something to eat. You can have some before we get home." The food that Jonas bought for Melinda was her favorite. She couldn't help smiling at the sight of it.

The smile was as innocent as a child's.

"Jon, I think you should call me less in the future when I am working." Looking at the perfect side face of Jonas, Melinda said hesitatingly.

This day, she had received several calls from Jonas, and the working state had been disturbed. It was inevitable that Melinda was a little upset.
