Chapter 157 A Petty Man

The women like Melinda mainly attracted the people who liked hooking up. She had a good look, body
and temperament, so she was absolutely rare.

Compared with the women he had hooked up, no one was comparable to Melinda.

"Mr. Cheng, please behave yourself." Melinda repeated what she had said to Mr. Li to Victor. Then she
pulled Maggie out of here, who was still in shock.

Rubbing his chin, Victor stared at Melinda with even brighter eyes. She was indeed different.

"Melinda, are you okay?" Maggie came back to her senses. Seeing the cold face of Melinda, she
became a little scared.

Yes, she was scared. Maggie was sure that she would become scared when she felt Melinda's aura.
She was just like a superior.

"I'm okay,"

Melinda answered perfunctorily, looking at the clothes on her body a little bit annoying. Such remarks
came to her mind many times not long ago.

'Calm down. Calm down. It's not the past. Take it as a praise, ' she thought to herself.

Before the party was over, Melinda left. On a winter night, it was cold. Despite the coat covering her
body, she wrapped herself up and returned home in the dark.

She felt better after taking a hot bath. Her phone on the night stand was receiving messages all the
time.



Many messages were sent by the company group and department group. Melinda glanced over them
and found that they were all discussing the party, so she didn't pay attention to them.

Maggie sent several messages to her. Just when Melinda was about to reply, she saw a new friend on
the contact list.

"Added by phone number? Someone I know?"

Seeing the request to be added by a cellphone number, Melinda hesitated and then clicked "agree".
That person's information was very simple. His wechat moments was blank, and his profile photo was
black, and it showed that he was in the same city with her.

"Hello." In order to be polite, Melinda took the initiative to say hello to the person. Her message box
always showed that the other side was typing something. She replied a message from Maggie, and she
cut back again. The person was still typing.

On the other side of the wechat, looking at "hello" in the phone with a simple but polite style, Jonas felt
mixed feelings, so he didn't know what to say as he typed and deleted.

He hadn't contacted Melinda for a long time. He didn't know if she was still angry.

After some hesitation, Jonas sent the message.

"Melinda, can we meet and have a good talk?"

After reading this message, Melinda was in a daze for a long time. She hadn't seen this person for a
long time. How long had she not thought of him? It was all illusions.

She seemed to have abandoned everything in the past, but she couldn't help but think of it every night
when it was quiet.



"Mr. Jonas, we have broken up. I hope you will not appear in my life in any form." Melinda had never
expected that Jonas would register a new number and add her number.

It was not suitable for them to have a private conversation.

Melinda blacklisted Jonas without thinking, and put the phone under her pillow in a huff.

When Jonas sent another message, he saw the red exclamation mark. A sense of powerlessness
swept over him.

She still didn't want to talk to him.

"Jonas, why are you here alone?' Queena saw a mass of darkness and was still thinking about who it
was. She turned on the light and found that was her son under the shadow.

"Mommy, haven't you gone to bed?"

Jonas greeted Queena with a forced smile. He looked so sad. Queena's heart ached when she saw
Jonas like this. He had worn a cold face ever since Melinda left, like he was ice covered every day.

She felt awful.

"Are you thinking of Melinda?" Queena poured a glass of water for each of them, and walked up to
Jonas. She didn't ask him this question, but she couldn't help asking him when she saw that he was
enduring alone.

"Yes.

I want to pursue Melinda," Jonas said bitterly. It was a little more difficult than he thought. He was
blacklisted again only by one sentence.

"You've met difficulties? Are you going to give up so easily?"



Queena didn't miss the expression on Jonas's face. She guessed that Jonas was definitely snubbed by
Melinda again.

"Yes." When they talked about it in the past, Jonas always had a pride of himself and not felt
embarrassed about it.

"I'll ask her out for you." When Queena saw that there was nothing Jonas could do, she thought of the
situation he had been in these days, and it was in a deep way that she realized that Jonas's feelings for
Melinda was serious.

Queena was a woman of action. She said she would help Jonas and she asked Melinda out to meet
the next day. Melinda was hesitating. In the end, she said, "Even if you have nothing to do with Jonas,
are you going to break up with me and Nelson?"

Queena asked Melinda to meet at a tea restaurant where they often went to before. It was a little far
away from Melinda's company, so Melinda specially said to Maggie and went earlier.

But when Melinda saw the one sitting in the appointed seat was Jonas, she stopped at once and was
about to leave without thinking.

"Melinda."

Standing up from the seat, Jonas hurriedly walked over to hold her hand. "Since we're already here,
let's eat something first," said Jonas.

He offered to show his affection to Melinda, but she didn't make any response. Looking at his eager
eyes, she gave in.

Now there was no place for her to eat outside and she would be hungry if she went back to the
company. With a cold face, Melinda found an excuse for herself and sat down opposite to Jonas.



But throughout the meal, she didn't respond no matter what Jonas said. The two of them seemed to
share the table, or, in other words, they were better than them.

"I'm full. Thank you for your lunch, Mr. Jonas. Send regards to Mrs. Queena and Mr. Nelson for me."
Melinda was eating fast and sitting there regretfully.

Jonas wanted to say something to make her stay, but Melinda had already left with her handbag.

After walking into the elevator, Melinda leaned against the wall weakly. Just now, she was with Jonas,
so depressed that she felt uncomfortable even if he kept showing his affection to her.

But maybe Jonas didn't know that all his ingratiation was the omen of a plot in the eyes of Melinda.

Did grandpa ask him to do this again?

Melinda returned to her office with something on her mind. Maggie was eating her burger. She was
surprised to see Melinda coming back so soon. "Didn't you say that you were going to have lunch with
the elders? Why do you come back so soon?"

"I have something to do here. You order takeout again,"

Melinda answered powerlessly. She saw that the crisp, chicken and other dishes on Maggie's table.

Usually when she was with her, Maggie would go to the canteen or have lunch with her outside.

"Hey, hey, it's a new restaurant. Do you want to have a try?" Maggie grabbed a slice of chicken and
lifted it to Melinda's mouth. "I'm not hungry," Melinda responded, shaking her head.

"What did you eat? I can't believe you ate so much. You need to save some room for afternoon tea,
okay?" After hearing what Maggie said, Melinda was confused. To be honest, she didn't remember
what she had eaten.



She felt the food was as dry as sawdust, and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Seeing her in low mood, Maggie didn't say another word. She then continued to eat and watch play.
She felt very comfortable.

Meanwhile, the Melinda's seat in the restaurant was full of what Melinda liked to eat. Sitting on the
seat, Jonas held his chopsticks for a long time.

He tried everything Melinda liked.

"William, go and check my wife's current situation," Jonas ordered. Jonas came back to the company,
only to issue this order, and sat in a daze in the office.

With Soaring Group's power, it was easy for him to investigate Melinda. Before long, William put the
information of Melinda in front of Jonas.

"Love Read Company?"

Jonas read the name of this company. He felt it quite familiar, but he couldn't remember whose
company it was.

Until the next page began to introduce the company that the name of Victor appeared in the leadership
circle.

Victor was a famous playboy and a distant cousin of Jonas, and he had no idea how distant he was.

Jonas knew he was a playboy.

At the thought of that Melinda was working for him now, Jonas could not help but worry about her.
Melinda had been working for a period of time. Was she being thought of by his cousin, a beast.



The more he thought about it, the colder his face became.

Jonas found Victor's number on it and dialed it.

"Melinda, Mr. Cheng is looking for you. Be careful," Maggie shouted, then she approached to Melinda
and whispered. She remembered the cocktail party.

Did Mr. Cheng come to get even with her afterwards? How could he be so petty?

"Don't worry." However, Melinda was not scared at all. She knew that it was okay for Victor to see her.
If he really came to her for that day's matter, she would simply quit her job.

At most, she felt sorry that Kent had helped her.

"Come in."

Melinda knocked on the door. Soon she heard the voice of Victor. She pushed the door open and
walked in. He was neither angry nor teasing her.

It was rare to see Victor behave so formally. When he saw her, he greeted passionately, "Hi, Melinda.
Come and sit here."

His attitude was sincere and easy-going, which confused Melinda for a while.

"You have been here for some time. Do you fit in?" Victor poured a glass of milk for Melinda. This was
what his little cousin ordered.

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng. The atmosphere in the company is good. I can get used to it."

Melinda took the milk, but didn't drink it. She was on guard against Victor, but she did not show it, so as
not to embarrass him.



"Really? That's great. How's your work going recently? Is there any problems? If you have difficulties,
you can come to me."

Feeling a little embarrassed, but Victor still continued the embarrassed conversation.
