Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 348

Oftentimes when people are lonely, they always feel like they are facing a storm alone. Jacob was feeling exactly that way now. He had so much desire in his heart.

He stood up and walked slowly towards the conference room with the confidence that he was going to win.

Meanwhile, in the conference room there was a squabble ongoing. "Mr. Jacob summoned us for a meeting. Why hasn't he shown up yet?"

"Maybe he is busy."

"Then why schedule the meeting in the first place? Shouldn't he summon us when he's less busy?"

"Mr. Jacob must have his own reasons. Oops! I don't want to gossip about him right now. Someone might blab to him about what I said."

"Presently, the company is in grave danger. Who knows when everything will collapse?"

Suddenly, there was silence.

The once noisy boardroom had become quiet. This was because Jacob had just opened the door.

James had previously felt sorry for the directors. However, after he heard all that they said, he no longer felt sympathetic.

Miserable people always found faults in others. Probably, this was the same way the directors behaved. However, no matter the hatred they gave Jacob, they couldn't change anything.

With a cold face, Jacob walked to his chair and sat down. Cindy was glad when her boss walked in and the whole room became quiet.

Until now, she had felt that she was in hell. But with Jacob's arrival, she was relieved. Everyone in the room remained mute.

"I heard you all discussing something just now. Don't stop because of me. I also want to hear your opinions."

Jacob placed his hand on the table and stroked it. His expression was calm.

The directors didn't say anything. They were as quiet as snakes during winter. When Jacob glanced at some of them, they held their breaths immediately.

"What? You guys have nothing else to discuss?" Jacob bellowed. With this, everyone was afraid and quieter.

James stared at Jacob with admiration. Now, Jacob resembled his elder brother more than ever before. The others could tell that Jacob was already angry. Even though he didn't say anything, everyone in the meeting was already trembling with fear. Some directors even lowered their heads. At that moment, Jonathan looked at Jacob with a smile on his face. Lately, Jonathan was behaving unusual. He just grinned without saying anything.

Jacob knew that this was a dangerous signal. But there was nothing that he could do to Jonathan.

After all, he wasn't a psychic. So it was impossible for him to know what was in his mind. Besides, Jacob was too busy to bother about that. Jonathan could do whatever he liked.

Jacob cleared his throat and said, "I am sure you all know why I called for this meeting. Then I will go straight to the point."

With a serious face, he stood up with his hands in his trouser pockets.

"Yes, I summoned you all to discuss the reduction of staff. I know that everyone is worried about the issue. And so many of you don't support it. I think I was a little erratic with my decision,"
