Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

In the humble meeting room, Melinda sat opposite to the boss and smiled. The tea in front of her was still steaming, sending swirls of smoke in the air.

"May I know your name?" the boss asked cautiously.

Melinda had intentionally worn a formal attire to make her plans work. The receptionist believed Melinda when she said that she was going to sign a big deal with the boss.

"My husband's surname is Gu."

The boss's mind was racing. There were only a few rich people in A City whose surname was Gu. He narrowed his eyes and studied Melinda carefully and that was when it dawned on him. The woman sitting before him was Nelson's granddaughter-in-law, Melinda.

He was aware of the humiliation Melinda had faced in the past. He also knew that Melinda was Nelson's favorite and that he protected her at all costs. He stiffened his back and cleared his throat.

"Mrs. Gu, I've heard a lot about you. Can I know what your business proposal is about?"

The boss was also a smart man. He knew that Melinda would not have to see him to just rent a car.

"I've come here to gather some information. I want to know if this car was rented today."

Melinda took out her cellphone and opened the photos that she had taken. It was a luxury car that only a few people rented. It was expensive and the company rarely rented this car to people.

The boss called the receptionist and instructed her to find out about it. Soon, Melinda met the person talking with Alan in the sports car. The man had a bad impression of Alan and swore under his breath at the mention of him.

"Sir, I hope no one finds out why I've come to see you."

Melinda's suspicions were true. She decided to investigate about Alan. She wanted to find out who he was and what his intentions were. Jonas didn't know that Alan was a liar as Yulia had interrupted him the last time.

The boss was aware of what the Gu family was capable of. Melinda had offered a lot of money, so he promised that the information wouldn't go out of the four walls. Moreover, the company's reputation would be at stake if people found that the customers' information was divulged to strangers for money.

Then Melinda hired a private detective to spy on Alan.

Alan hadn't gone home for three days and Yulia decided to go to his company. When Yulia came to Aner Electronic Technology Company, she felt an eerie sense of desolation. The company was deserted and everyone was looking unusual.

In the office, Alan was leaning against the sofa and was reeking of alcohol. Empty bottles of wine were scattered on the floor and a fresh pile of beer was assembled on the tea table.

Yulia quickly ran to Alan. Alan no longer looked like the handsome, elegant person that he usually was. His eyes were bloodshot and his chin was covered in stubble. His shirt was crumpled and soaked in sweat and alcohol, which made Yulia sick.

"Alan, what's wrong with you? God, you are drunk!" Yulia asked concernedly.
