“Excuse me! I think I should tell you the whole thing though you are reluctant to figure it out." Jacob found a seat and sat down, looking straight at Cornel's bad face.
Cornel closed the door, then looked at him. "What do you want to say?"
Jacob put a document on the bed stand, "Mr. Brown, do you recently check the financial records of the company?"
"It's none of your business! And you are not entitled to concern with it."
Jacob jeered, "I do be not entitled. After all, I am just an assistant. But I do think that you should have a look at this document!”
Jacob tapped on the document on the table, then got up. “I know I am not welcome here, so I go first. Hope you can figure out something after you see the document.”
“What do you mean?” Cornel watched him, tasting his words.
Jacob just said, “You will know it after reading it.”
Then Jacob bowed politely and left.
“Wait! You make it clear!” Cornel ran after Jacob, while Jacob didn’t intend to talk more with him and walked quickly.
Cornel then came up with the document Jacob put on his table, so he returned to his room.
In the garden, Elena and Yolanda walked along the garden and returned to the gate. They happened to meet Jacob who was going to leave.
Without more thoughts, Yolanda asked, “Jacob, you are to leave now?”
“Yes!”
“How about the business? You don’t need to discuss with Elena?” With surprise, she didn’t see they had a talk. Why was he going to leave?
With his face unchanged, Jacob said, “I will contact Madam at any time if there is something important in the company.”
Elena nodded, “You just go back. It’s late now and you have to get up early tomorrow.”
“Yes!” Jacob replied, then left for the direction of the parking lot.
Yolanda got unknown feelings, which made her uncomfortable. “Sister-in-law, how do you know he has to get up early?”
Elena glanced at her from the corner of the eyes, “Have you heard that the early birds get the worms.”
“Well, yes, but…”
She did not answer Yolanda’s question directly.
Elena got rid of Yolanda’s hand, which attracted Yolanda’s look. Elena smiled, “I am a little tired walking so long. Let’s go back to room.”
“OK, sister-in-law, do you want to have any dessert? I ask the cook to make you the night snack, OK?” Yolanda smiled graciously.
