Chapter 279 Missing

Jonas kept silent when he heard what Melinda said, and then drove the car silently. Melinda didn't
know whether he listened to her or not, and she was worried and helpless.

Melinda was well aware that he may call to care about her, but he was indeed interrupting her work.

The two silently drove the car into the mansion. When they arrived home, Melinda, who was very
hungry, suddenly lost her appetite. Seeing this, Jonas had no choice but to compromise. "I'll pay
attention to it in the future," he said.

He could pay attention to it, but it didn't mean that he wouldn't call her again. He was in a complex
mood now, but Melinda didn't think that much. She was a little happy to hear that from Jonas.

"What are you two whispering about? Come here and have dinner." Queena saw them standing at the
door for a long time and couldn't help but greet them.

"Coming." Jonas held her hand and led Melinda back to their bedroom. After they got changed, they
came back to the dining room. Nelson was still sitting in the seat of honor. All the dishes were placed
on the table by the servants.

Melinda noticed the time on the wall by chance, and felt a little guilty. She was the one who caused the
whole family to have dinner so late.

"Why did you work overtime on the first day? You must be tired." Nelson asked a servant to make a
soup for Melinda. The steaming soup was slowly placed in front of her.

"I'm fine. Time flies fast when working."

If she stayed at home for a day, she didn't know what she would think. But as long as she was busy
with work, she had no mood to think about those things.



"But you should also take care of yourself," Queena said and Melinda nodded quietly. Sitting aside,
Yulia watched them, and felt more and more incompatible with this family.

At this point, she suddenly began to question herself why she wanted to stay in such a family with no
feelings.

But she knew better that she didn't want to live a miserable life like her mother.

Melinda was really tired after a long day. She didn't even dry her hair after washing her face and rinsed
her mouth. She just leaned on the bed and fell asleep. Seeing this, Jonas sighed in his heart and felt
that Melinda was like a child.

He would protect her.

The next day, Melinda got off the bed early due to Jonas's call. With the tension of the previous day,
she did not stay in bed today, but was in a trance.

Jonas was really worried that she might fall down.

"Cheer up. Do you still know where the company is?" Jonas patted gently on Melinda's cheek. Melinda
shook her head and pointed at the company.

"Here we are."

As Melinda said, she unbuckled her seat belt and was about to get out of the car. However, Jonas
looked straight in the eyes of her, while holding the hand of her.

"I have a dinner appointment tonight. I can't pick you up. Don't forget to call the driver."

Since Jonas hadn't shown up in the dinner for a long time, there was inevitably a lot of gossip outside.
And the big customer was invited today, so it was hard to decline.



Melinda was taken aback, but soon she nodded, indicating that she knew it. Then she got out of the
car. With a somewhat gloomy expression on the face of Jonas, he felt that she was somewhat
unromantic.

Weren't the writers all romantic? 'My lady is a little different, ' he thought to himself. Then he saw
Melinda turned around. Excitement appeared on Jonas's face.

"Don't drink too much. Don't smoke!" Melinda ordered seriously as she walked closer step by step.

As soon as Melinda finished her words, she seemed to feel that she was going to be late. She rushed
into the company in a hurry, leaving Jonas there in a total mess. Then he had a feeling that he must
keep the words that Linda had said.

Melinda came to the company on time. This situation had rarely happened before and she felt a little
depressed.

The whispers in the office became quiet as soon as they saw Melinda come in. After walking to her
seat, Melinda found a bunch of flowers on the top, which was the baby's breath she liked, little by little,
which looked very cute, bright and full of vitality.

She was looking for the card in the bouquet of flowers before her cellphone rang. The man who had
just left was gently asking on the phone, "Do you like the flowers this morning?"

"This is from you?"

Melinda didn't expect that Jonas had such an interest. Hearing what she said, Jonas pulled a long face
and pretended to be angry, "Otherwise, who do you want to be sent by?"

"My admirer, of course," Melinda teased him. The more she looked at the bunch of baby's breath, the
much happier she was. The expression on Jonas's face could only be described as dark.



Then he sensed the banter in Melinda's words. He rolled his eyes and said, "I am your admirer, aren't
I?"

Melinda had to admit that she liked his flirt. It made her cheek blush. Since she was delicate, she
looked sweeter.

"I like the flowers. Don't call me if you are still driving."

Thinking that Jonas was still on the way, Melinda got a little worried. Jonas enjoyed the feeling that he
was cared by Melinda, and he hung up the phone obediently.

However, the staff of the department made another several versions of the news about the flowers that
Melinda received.

It was still a busy day. Melinda was the busiest person in the office. She was in a good mood these
days. Her inspiration was also good. As a result, she wrote three articles in a short time.

Such an efficiency, Melinda was very worried about the quality of the articles, but it was all checked
through.

Victor had noticed Melinda's true feelings, so he had warned those people from the very beginning that
did not find fault with Melinda's articles.

Catching up on lost work was like catching up on homework. Every day, Melinda thought those articles
and her head began to ache.

She went home late in the evening. There was no one else in the office. After cleaning up, Melinda left
the company. Before she left, the security guard looked at her for a while.

The company was near the street. After walking that way, Melinda called the driver.



Not far away, a white minibus began to fast drive towards Melinda. Before Melinda could take out her
mobile phone to call, she was held by someone.

"Who are you? Let go of me! Help... Wu..."

Two men instantly got off the minibus, one from the left and the other from the right, and held Melinda
towards the minibus. Melinda struggled hard, trying to call for help, but her mouth was covered by
someone.

The person in the minibus watching this scene with satisfaction, and the person made a gesture to the
people outside. Then the two men put Melinda in the back seat, covering her eyes.

After a long time of gasping, Melinda's hands were already tied on the ropes.

She was left in complete darkness, a sense of insecurity overwhelmed her. Those men's words had an
accent, and were even obscure, and Melinda could not understand them at all.

"Don't forget to make it clean." Emily's voice sounded so familiar in the darkness that Melinda couldn't
help clenching her fists. She didn't expect that Emily came back to hurt her.

This woman was simply detestable.

The minibus started and went in an unknown direction. Now, Melinda only hoped that Jonas could find
her as soon as possible. Emily was a lunatic, and she could not guess what she was going to do.

At first, Melinda still tried to remember the route, but gradually she became more and more exhausted.
She had no idea where she was, only knew that she was probably out of the city far away.

Jonas was having dinner with his customers, and he felt somewhat uneasy. After drinking with them for
a while, he made an excuse to call Melinda outside the box to check if Melinda went home yet.



No one answered the phone in a long time. Jonas called the driver who picked up Melinda. The driver
also said that he had not received her call and had been waiting near her company.

The anxiety in Jonas's heart began to expand, and then he thought that Melinda might take a taxi to go
home, but Queena also said that she didn't see Melinda.

"Ted, tell them I have something important to do and we will leave first." Jonas was now feeling that
something was wrong. According to the rules in the business world, they should be passed before
leaving. Jonas didn't need to worry about others since he had high status.

Seeing that his face was serious, Ted did as he said without hesitation. Thinking for a while, Jonas
called Victor.

"Are you in the company now?" Jonas came straight to the point, completely ignoring the shock of the
person at the other side.

In fact, Victor was still in shock by Jonas's phone call with him. He answered honestly after hearing his
words, and he had already gone home.

"Who is still in the company?" Jonas felt very irritated. At this time, he was driving to the company
where Melinda worked.

Victor realized that there must be something wrong with the way Jonas talked to him, and asked the
reason. Knowing that he couldn't get in touch with Melinda, Victor sent people in his company to check.
However, the security said that Melinda had left the company a long time ago.

"Melinda has left. I don't know where she is either," Victor said helplessly. He wanted to help him but
realized his identity. At last, he said nothing.



Jonas pulled over in the street. Thinking about all the things carefully, he finally called a friend who
worked in the police station.

"Missing? Are you sure it's not that she doesn't want to contact you?" the man answered the phone
impatiently. He thought that since the relationship between Jonas and Melinda was very awkward, it
was more likely that Melinda was at odds with him.

"It's not the right time to make a joke with you. I think that something is wrong with Linda," said Jonas.
He felt very uneasy and guessed that Melinda must be very scared now.

And it was dangerous too!

Hearing this, the man didn't dare to joke any more. He quickly arranged his men to investigate.

Emily was the only enemy of Melinda. Jonas took out his phone and dialed the number which had been
deleted for a long time.

Then the phone was hung up after only one ring!

He was pretty sure that it was Emily who did this.
