Chapter 287 Inherit The Family Business
The servant who was taking care of Melinda felt sorry for her when she saw her like this. These days, the atmosphere between the young couple was intense. Everyone looked anxious. Finally, young lady changed a bit, but young master went wrong again.
It was really a hard time for them to meet each other. The servant gave a sigh, then she told Queena about it.
Soaring Group was very active recently. Besides Aron and his son, Jonas's father also took some actions. Since Jonas had no idea why his father did this, he had to ask Ted to investigate it.
William also made a call to mention this matter to Nelson. Nelson didn't pay much attention to it. Over the years, Jonas's father had not been very concerned about the company's affairs, and his ability was not as good as that of Jonas.
"He was busy with this today and didn't come back home?" Nelson seemed to think of something and asked.
"Half of the reason. There's something wrong with the cooperation with Y country. The president has to attend a video conference to fix it. He's likely to go abroad," William said. In fact, this matter was not so serious at the beginning, but in order to accompany Mrs. Melinda to complete the simple program, the boss delayed.
Of course, as a smart person, William would never say anything about it. He knew that Nelson's main concern was Melinda.
"Okay, take care of him," said Nelson. He was always so concerned about Jonas secretly. Looking at the emaciated Jonas, he felt sad.
When Nelson hung up the phone and went back to the living room, the servant just finished talking with Queena, and a touch of worry came to Queena's face unconsciously.
"What a coincidence that he has to work overtime today." Queena crossed her hands on her legs and clapped against each other.
"Tell him about it. He can handle his wife himself. Don't worry about anything else," Nelson said with pleasure. Hearing that, Queena thought this was the only way.
Melinda didn't sleep well all night. Either because she recognized the bed or because she didn't have the familiar smell, she ran in the morning the next day and went to the company without breakfast.
Jonas arrived home late in the evening the next day. His eyes were bloodshot and looked frightening.
"You are almost in your thirties, but you still don't take good care of yourself. Last night, Linda has been waiting for you by herself after she cooked several dishes. She was in a bad mood since she knew that you wouldn't come back."
Queena's words swept away the tiredness in Jonas's heart. He was a little annoyed that he didn't listen to his mother's words completely yesterday, and Queena would have reminded him yesterday on the phone.
"Where is Linda?"
Looking around but failing to see Melinda, Jonas then realized that Melinda wasn't off duty yet. Even though he wanted to drive personally to pick up Melinda, his mental status was not very good, and Melinda was likely to refuse him.
Jonas began to be worried. Queena couldn't bear to see him like this, so she asked him to have a rest. She didn't want Melinda to see a ghost when she came back.
Melinda's unhappiness was written all over her face. At the first glance, Jonas knew that it was because of him, so his mood was a little complicated, which made him a little guilty for hurting her, and on the other hand, he felt happy because he could control her mood.
"Linda, I'm sorry that I didn't come back for dinner yesterday." Jonas had a correct attitude. The best way he had learned now was to admit his mistake at the first step.
Melinda gave a sidelong look at Jonas, changed her shoes, washed her hands and sat on the sofa to peel an apple, ignoring Jonas.
The strength she used to peel the fruit was a bit heavy, and most of the flesh went to the trash can with the fruit skins. By a sharp eye, Jonas found a burned small bubble on her hand.
He covered her hand, rubbing it, and then gave it a kiss under her shocked gaze. In a hoarse voice, he said, "It hurts, doesn't it?"
"I..." Seeing the blood streak in Jonas's eyes, Melinda forgot what she was going to say.
She had always forgotten that Jonas was in charge of the entire Soaring Group, and it was rare for him not to go out frequently. Dealing with things overnight seemed to be not a big deal.
"I'm sorry. There's something wrong with our company overseas. I have to have a video conference and settle it with them. You know there's a time difference between the two countries. I have to do that at that time." When Jonas explained to Melinda, he didn't mention it that the main reason was that he helped her to work for an entire afternoon.
"Is it urgent?" Generally, the problem to be solved overnight was very urgent. The behavior of him last night could be understood, right? Silently, Melinda forgave the behavior of Jonas.From NôvelDrama.Org.
The gloom on her face disappeared. Seeing this, Jonas breathed a sigh of relief. Although Melinda didn't understand this, he would explain everything to her in detail as long as she asked.
"You must be very tired now since you did not sleep last night." Looking at the face of Jonas, she felt sorry for him. When her slender fingers gently touched his eyebrows, a smile appeared on her face.
Her smile seemed to be magic of healing. Seeing that, Jonas seemed to be full of infinite motivation.
"You can rest with me later." Taking this opportunity, Jonas asked for a little bit of benefits. He was almost broken down by Melinda's refusal these days.
What's more, the person who had caused the conflicts between him and Melinda came to the Jerry's home again.
Even though Emily had been refused by Jerry like that last time, she was still unwilling to give up. After she had stayed in the police station for a period of time, her whole person had become much gloomier.
She used to be a pure and innocent girl. With no smile on her face, now she was cunning and calculating.
Jerry had been very well recently, so he was a little surprised when he saw Emily. After all, he hadn't seen her for a long time, and he felt that Emily had already given up.
"You look like you just got out of prison," Jerry teased her. He did not expect that he was actually telling the truth.
Emily's hair had been cut off, and she looked much thinner. Her clothes had been loosened, and she was now somewhat dull on her face. These were the symptoms of the people who had been in the police station before, or a mental hospital.
Jerry thought that Emily was well suited to be sent to a psychiatric hospital.
"What? Do you want me to go inside the prison?" After saying that, Emily directly walked into Jerry's house without hesitation. Only in that place could people know that this kind of sparrow house was good enough.
Jerry shrugged. He didn't say anything, but thought of a news he accidentally saw recently that Emily was caught.
It might be true.
"Are you interested in something exciting?" Emily looked at him with a viper like eyes, as if she was threatening him silently. If he did not agree, she would kill him in one gulp.
Feeling that cold atmosphere, Jerry was scared and secretly glad that he had stayed away from Emily.
"As I said, I like to live my life at present and I don't want to do those things anymore," Jerry said with a determined attitude.
At this moment, everything that had happened in the past had slowly dissipated like the clouds and smoke. He had to move forward because he didn't want to be trapped in the past.
He had been immersed in hatred before and hadn't found so much happiness.
In fact, everything was not so bad as he thought.
"Don't you think it is ridiculous that a man who has been in the dark area for so long starts to look forward to the light?" Emily looked at Jerry and said sarcastically. A man in the dark didn't deserve light.
"I think it's good now."
That was all he wanted to say. He didn't want to waste any time in talking to Emily.
With her fists clenched, Emily looked at Jerry and threatened, "Don't forget what you have done. I have evidence."
Her words surprised Jerry, and then he calmed down. "Doesn't the thing I did have your part?"
Jerry said it in a light way, but he also told Emily in silence that no matter what happened, he would not let her go.
Emily was just out of the police station, so she certainly didn't want to go in again.
"Besides, that old bastard wants me to go home and take over the family business. I have a bright future ahead of me. I don't have to work together with you," Jerry said proudly. He was very surprised at the fact. At the beginning, he was against it, but now he slowly accepted it.
Human beings were the same. He had no reason to refuse the big bait.
At the beginning, Emily thought that Jerry was talking in a dream, but then she realized that he wasn't joking with her and looked serious.
If what he said was true, it was ridiculous for her to threaten him. Because if Jonas's father couldn't handle this matter, then he would not be a member of Gu family.
"What you said is true?" Emily asked incredulously, but her eyes narrowed dangerously. How many things had happened during this period that she did not know?
'Arrange Jerry to go back to Gu family? Does Jonas know about it?'
"That's what he said. I'll definitely go back to Gu family recently. I deserve a part of Soaring Group's industry," he said firmly and even began to imagine the scene that he sat on the position of Jonas.
That feeling was unimaginable.
Emily's pupils dilated, and then recovered as usual. The achievement the Soaring Group had made had nothing to do with the promiscuous Alston Gu. It was all because of Jonas.
And now, he only said one sentence, and it was so easy for him to arrange this waste Jerry in? It was totally unfair to Jonas.
Emily never liked Alston, so she thought it was not worth it for Jonas now. At the same time, she thought this was a chance to use Jerry against him!
