Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 417

Managing the business was a tasking job. So, Sara spent a great part of her day at the company. This made her social life suffer. As Sara sat in her office and read the new proposal from Jacob, she got a call from Bess.

"Sara, what have you been doing lately? I haven't seen you for a long time," Bess said in a concerned tone. She was worried about her friend although she was also exhausted.

Bess had been overwhelmed with the affairs of her company and also Noah's. The pressure was too much for her.

It was until she became less busy that she was able to call Sara. Indeed, Bess was missing her friend.

For a long time, she wanted to put a call through to Sara but she couldn't. Bess was busy with her own problems at that time. Besides, she also knew that it was the same story for Sara.

Both Noah and Bess had heard about what happened. They were used to Alice and her troubles. The gimmicks of the unwanted ex-girlfriend were no longer surprising.

Sadly, there was no way they could help in solving the matter. So, Bess didn't give Sara any advice. After all, Sara didn't contact her to discuss the issue. This action suggested that the couple wanted to handle it themselves.

As a good friend, Bess had previously told Sara that she was just one call away. She was ready to help her as long as she had the ability.

"I am sorry, dearie. I have just been busy handling Alice's constant troubles. Jacob recently resigned from the Shi Group. Now, he works at my father's company. And I am still trying to help him settle in."

Sara leaned on the desk leisurely as she explained herself. She was exhausted. But with Bess's call, she felt more relaxed.

Some people had the power to calm a person's nerves just by hearing their voice. Bess was one of such persons for Sara.

"Ah!" Bess screamed. 'What did I just hear? Why did he do such a thing? Many people coveted that seat. But he just threw it out the window, ' Bess thought. Then she queried Sara, "What? Are you for real? I am just hearing of this. Noah doesn't know either. Is Jacob crazy? What was he thinking? Get a PR team to handle this issue quickly!"

Bess's piercing voice reached Sara's ears through the phone. She tried to hold her laughter by grabbing the edge of her table. Her friend was hilarious!

But Sara knew that she really cared about her. Besides, no one could say those words to her at that time.

Except for her best friend, Bess. They had known each other for ages. So, their friendship wasn't just a flimsy one.

Indeed, a good friend is someone who showed care and support when other people didn't. A close buddy is also a perfect cheerleader.

For instance, the employees of the company only pointed out the negative aspect of Jacob's actions. And the number of disadvantages they would pose for the business. This was because most of them had already heard of how his actions caused problems at the Shi Group.

The workers never tried to put themselves in Sara's shoes. They didn't open their eyes to see why she brought Jacob to the company.

"Bess, calm down. I was preoccupied with work so I couldn't tell you earlier. Now, I have a funny story to tell you. And it is about Alice."

Sara paused for a few seconds. She didn't want to badmouth Alice. But she needed someone to talk to about the issue.

Sara knew she could confide in Bess because she was a trustworthy person. Moreover, it wasn't a big deal for her best friend to know about the matter. She already knew about all the drama which Alice caused in the past.

"What is it? By the way, when will that woman give up? Doesn't she have self-respect? How did Jacob even fall in love with that kind of woman? She's so pathetic!"

Bess murmured. There was a hint of disgust in her voice. She was disappointed in Jacob. Actually, she never really understood why he could stoop so low to date a miserable woman like Alice. To Bess, Jacob performed well as a friend. But as a lover, he failed woefully.

Nevertheless, her opinion about Jacob didn't matter. This was because Sara loved him like that. So, it would be unwise for her to interfere.

"Forget about that. Alice is more intractable than I thought. She's so out of control! Can you believe she's now dating Jacob's cousin? Although I haven't confirmed it yet, I don't think my suspicions are baseless. There's no smoke without fire."

Even though Sara hadn't done a proper investigation yet, she just felt that her best friend should know beforehand. After all, Bess was on her side.

"Well... This is not coming as a surprise to me. Honestly, I'm not shocked at all. She's a despicable woman so this behavior is expected. But who is Jacob's cousin?"
