Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 324

Eventually, the story of a group of people would be about the story of two people. That much was certain. People were used to living with one another.

After lunch, Jacob sat on the chair. He gazed at Sara affectionately. "I haven't been here for so many days. Were you scared I might have run off with another woman?"

With a snort, Sara leaned back with her legs crossed. "Who could you possibly run away with? If that happens, don't bother coming back."

Jacob felt embarrassed. He leaned against the table and propped himself up with his elbow. "I'm just kidding. Why, it looks like my wife is becoming more arrogant!"

Sara stood up and gave him a cold glare. "Who is your wife?"

Then, Sara left the table. Jacob stared after her in disbelief, his face darkening.

Sara had changed so quickly. It took Jacob a while to realize it, but she was no longer the woman that she was when they first met.

Alas, he had no choice. He only wanted her. He couldn't do anything but accept her for who she was. He loved and hated her at the same time.

After lunch, both Sara and Jacob headed back to the company. They were no longer in the honeymoon stage, so they didn't need to be together all the time. However, they knew that if one of them needed the other, then the other would come running to be by their side.

Sara enjoyed this feeling very much. She was free to do as she pleased, and she knew that he loved her deeply.

When Jacob got back to the company, he found that it was very quiet. Perhaps he was overthinking it, but he had just solved a major issue. It was natural that he would still be on his guard.

Cindy and James were not at the company. He found that there were very few people he could trust.

Jacob knew very well that he would never be friends with many people at work.

Over the past few years, he had to make quite a few enemies to secure his spot at the company. However, Jacob believed in quality over quantity. He preferred to keep his circle small and ensure that it was filled with people he could trust.

Jacob silently passed by the office area, and everyone held their breath. It was pathetic. People were acting like they were invisible.

Jacob stopped walking and glanced at the people around him. No one spoke. All the employees lowered their heads and went about their business. 'They just appear like they are working hard.' Jacob thought about this in his head sadly.

Then, he quickly walked back to the office. A long silence ensued as the staff watched him go. Suddenly, someone spoke up.

"What happened to Mr. Jacob just now? He looked so scary."

"I don't know. I always feel that something major is about to happen."

"Yes, yes. Is it possible that..."

"I'm going to stop you right there. Stop jumping to conclusions. How are we to know what's going on in his mind?"

Back in his office, Jacob finally put the thing he had been dreading on his agenda. He was bound to earn the ire of more people by doing it, but it had to be done. Jacob hesitated and drew some lines on the list. It was difficult to be a good person.

Frustrated, he threw the list to the side. He took a sip from his teacup, only to find that it was empty.

Jacob sighed. He was useless without Cindy.

Jacob got up and went out to get some water. From a distance, he could hear that the staff was having a heated discussion. He went closer to hear them better. Someone coughed a few times.

Suddenly, the staff members whirled around and saw Jacob standing behind them. Their faces turned pink with embarrassment.

"Mr... Mr. Jacob, have you been standing there long?"

"Mr. Jacob..."

The staff members who had been speaking suddenly felt their legs turn into jelly. They had heard all about Jacob's infamous temper, and they dreaded being at the receiving end of it. However, they never really had the chance to talk to him. Everything they knew about him came from rumors floating around the company.
