Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 109

"Really? This is just the beginning, but Melinda couldn't bear it already?" Emily asked.

She had a sinister smile plastered on her face and a calculating glint in her eyes.

She did not even bother hiding her true nature when no one was present.

"I wonder, when will the two of them divorce?"

Yulia peered over the window, spotting Nelson and Melinda in the yard playing chess. They looked like they were enjoying themselves as Melinda appeared to be saying something to Nelson that made the old man smile.

She glared furiously at the sight. The spot where Melinda was right now was supposed to be hers. She was Nelson's granddaughter after all.

"It's a bit hard to deal with her since the old man is always around. What's more important right now is the position your brother holds in the company. As long as he has a firm foothold, I doubt that the old man would be able to do anything against him," Emily said.

It was quite clear to her that Nelson was the only reason why Melinda was with Jonas.

"I don't understand what's going on most of the time in the company."

Yulia was well aware of her abilities. People doubted that she would be able to adapt when she once had thought of working in the company and be able to achieve on something that would impress Nelson.

However, after a few days in the company, her capability was recognized and they completely forgot about it.

"Well, all you need to do is to just report to me all the latest progress about their relationship. I'll deal with this myself," Emily replied.

She clearly placed an emphasis on her last words. With the kindness she showed, it was clear to her that Melinda's endless arguments with Jonas would definitely give him a change of heart.

Jonas became less inclined to remain at home lately and started to look forward to meeting Emily.

Although his desk had mounts of documents piled up for him to work on, his eyes remained unfocused as he scanned through them while gently rotating a pen he was holding on his hand.

As soon as William entered with more documents for him to deal with, he involuntarily sighed at the current sight of his boss.

"Mr. Gu, this batch of documents is needed this afternoon. This is urgent," he politely reminded Jonas.

William thought that Jonas hadn't been focusing on his work recently which was why the general manager would occasionally scold them for it. As his secretaries, they were having a hard time because of it.

"Yes, I'm aware." Jonas glanced over from the stack of documents.

He blinked a few times, trying to channel all of his focus back to his work. However, the thought of Emily never completely left him. During this time of the day, Emily would have normally called him no matter what.

On the other hand, Emily was planning on her next move. She figured that now was the best time to contact Jonas less since a new crew also came to her and she had quickly agreed to join them.

Dressed in a red ancient Chinese costume, Emily looked different from her usual pure image. In fact, she appeared even more enchanting. She called her assistant and asked her to take a photo of her so that she could send it to Jonas.

When Emily finally decided to call Jonas, he immediately picked up in a matter of seconds.

"Have you seen the picture that I have sent you?" Her lips curved into a knowing smile.

Although her tone was sweet, it sounded like a spoiled person who would get mad if she wasn't complimented.

"You look very beautiful. Are you currently filming?" Jonas answered.

He was already at the door when he realized that Emily might not be able to go out with him for lunch today. Feeling a bit disappointed, he returned back to his chair and sat down with a dejected face.

"Yes, I got a role for a new movie. It seems that I will be out in the field for a while," she sighed over the phone.

Even though she told him that, she was thinking of staying a little longer.

Both of them exchanged a few more words before hanging up. Jonas felt a bit uncomfortable with the knowledge of Emily not being able to show up for a while. However, he also felt inexplicably relieved.

"William." Jonas then contacted his secretary over the phone.

The man almost choked upon hearing his boss's voice. Since he felt that he was having a hard time recently, he decided to comfort himself today by having chicken drumsticks for lunch.

"Yes, boss?" he answered weakly.

William quickly gulped down a glass of water to compose himself. At this moment, silence enveloped the office since most of the employees had lunch outside or at the staff canteen.

Because he was Jonas's personal secretary, William had no choice but to eat take-out food everyday to comfort his poor stomach.

"Order some lunch for me."

Jonas hung up the phone immediately after the order. He then started to pour all of his attention into his work, leaving William confused for a moment before he was able to react.

Wasn't the CEO going home or eating outside today?
