Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 423

Jonathan used to be the director of the company, yet he wasn't mature nor was he reliable. There wasn't really anyone who wished to befriend him.

In the past, this was something he didn't care much about. However, lately their indifference towards him was getting on his nerves. He knew other people's opinion mattered. Jonathan strove hard to think of a way to deal with it.

Without friends, it would prove to be extremely difficult to do the things he wanted to do. When this realization dawned upon him, Jonathan couldn't help but understand he had lived the past 30 years as a failure.

Thompson, on the other hand, arrived at the Shi Group. He found a parking spot and got off his car. Carefully, he surveyed the view of the building. A big group like the Shi Group was known by almost every citizen of the city.

When Jacob handed over his resignation, the story made its way to the news in an instant. It caused an uproar amongst the public.

After all, it wasn't some small news. The Shi Group was considered the strongest group in this city and anything having to do with it would have people's attention. It sent shock waves through the public. It was said that Jacob decided to step down voluntarily because of the scandal of his affair.

From all this, one could easily make out that reputation was vital to the Shi Group. This rumor pertaining to Jacob had been discussed by almost everyone. Lots of people considered it nothing but a fun topic to discuss. Very few people took it seriously.

With time, people's temporary curiosity died down. At this point, no one really cared enough to get to the bottom of the matter.

For the spectators, it was just another hot topic they could laugh about. To sum it up, no one genuinely cared.

Presently, Thompson's eyes scanned the tall building towering into the sky. A frown crept into his face. He was certain one person's departure hadn't harmed the company in any way.

The people of the Shi Group continued to work vigorously. Sunlight glinted off the windows of this tall building.

Thompson's polished shoes were also glinting under the spell of sun. He squinted his eyes and looked up. He noticed the clouds were quite thick and the sun was struggling to pass through it.

With a deep sigh, he stepped into the Shi Group. He remembered the events of the past with better clarity than Jonathan did.

When the explosion happened in the Shi Group, Jacob stood near this same door. Thompson couldn't help but admire that man for his bravery.

Even though Jacob was a young man, he seemed quite mature when he dealt with that issue. If it was possible, Thompson would have liked to be friends with him. He seemed like a guy worth knowing.

However, he knew it was too late for that. Thompson had reached the height of desperation. It was useless to dwell on these thoughts.

Since he couldn't obtain it, he had set forth on conquering it.

On entering the building, he quickly glanced at few people The security guard regarded him for a second and let him in. He looked quite decent and reputable.

He then reached the reception hall on the first floor. It was thronging with unfamiliar faces. Thompson had anticipated this but for some reason, he began to feel nervous.

"Hello, I have an appointment with Mr. Jonathan. He is expecting me,"

Thompson said gently, leaning his hands against the table. He flashed the lady his best smile.

She was quite taken by his handsome face. She was overcome by an urge to ask if he was single or taken.

She stood eying this handsome stranger. Thompson waved his hand in front of the receptionist, snapping her back to reality.

"Well, this way please, sir. I will lead you to the CEO's office." The receptionist made a welcoming gesture and he followed her lead.

While she led him to the office, some of the employees caught sight of Thompson.
