Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 372

'I hope someone will remember it in ten years.' Jacob smiled bitterly at the thought.

If only everyone could forget what had happened. If that were possible, everything would be peaceful, and all things would go back to normal.

But, was that really possible? Jacob shook his head.

"Mr. Jacob, I know. The document did not get lost. Although I couldn't accept it at the time, I have figured it out now. Fortunately, it was not the original document. If it was, I would have filed my resignation immediately."

Cindy stared at Jacob. At that moment, her heart gave a little flutter. She suddenly felt happy. After all, she was strong enough to endure things other people couldn't. That was something she could be proud of.

Now, Cindy had the courage to face anything. Her attitude had become more tolerant, and she had developed a positive outlook on life.

A look of astonishment flashed on Jacob's face. Even after everything that happened, he was surprised Cindy still accepted him. He was glad that his sincere attitude towards his assistant had paid off.

With a guilty look on his face, Jacob said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept you in the dark. You were smart enough to figure it out, but I still feel guilty for hiding the truth from you."

Jacob had finally calmed down a bit. Oftentimes, he wanted to be straightforward. However, he tended to overthink and let his imagination run wild, which never got him his desired result. Now, he felt much better after revealing the truth.

Finally, he could face everything with confidence. He no longer had any reason to be afraid. Finally, he could deal with what his heart was feeling.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Jacob. You've done nothing wrong. Kim and I are the ones to blame. The cart is far less important than the horse. Whether the document is true or not, it is our fault. I hope you don't take it to heart."

Cindy smiled gently. Jacob gazed upon her face and realized that she had such a sweet smile. Perhaps he was more used to seeing her with a serious demeanor. He was pleasantly surprised by her smile.

"Well, you can go on with your work. I should go pack my things and leave today." Jacob stood up and clapped his hands.

He had too many memories in this office. Although the work he did was almost the same every day, he had gone through so many emotions here.

It was different for people who were on the outside looking in. There was no doubt about that.

"Mr. Jacob, let me help you. I'm quite skilled at fixing your schedule. Please let me do it for you one last time."

Cindy smiled sincerely.

It seemed that Cindy was not going to take no for an answer, so Jacob nodded and stepped aside.

"Well, thank you so much."

Jacob tried to be polite. In the past, it had been Cindy's duty to make sure his schedule was organized. Now, she was simply doing it as a favor. In spite of everything that had happened, Cindy did not rub salt in the wound. It was rare for people nowadays to be kind.

She chose to help him when he was down. Usually, when a person is stripped of his power and influence, he would be ridiculed and mistreated by those who were once below him. Now, Jacob was one of those people. But, it can be agreed that he was a special case.

"Where is James?" Jacob asked, watching Cindy help tidy up his things.

"He left. He said that he wasn't feeling well." Cindy was stunned when she heard his question. James told her personally that he was feeling unwell.

Perhaps he was angry at Jacob's resignation, but he didn't want to say it straight to his face. That was why he wasn't around.

"Well, I haven't discussed it with him. I know he has some plans for me, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life relying on other people for help. Even if I don't work here, I know there are places I can go to thrive,"

Jacob said lightly. Cindy admired the confidence in his voice.
