Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Jonas pursed his lips. He knew why Melinda insisted to know. After hesitating for a while, he finally opened his mouth in attempt to say something.

Melinda's eyebrows furrowed and her lips instantly formed into a line the moment she heard Emily's name. She did not even bother waiting for Jonas to continue. Instead, she hung up the phone abruptly while she felt a tightness form in her chest.

How many more times did she have to feel hurt for her to see that she did not mean anything at all to Jonas?

As long as Emily was in the picture, all her illusions were shattered.

Jonas stared at his phone in shock after hearing the sound of the beep on the other end. He tried calling her again, but the line was busy. Melinda was definitely mad at him.

Melinda took several deep breaths as she tried to calm herself down before heading towards the direction of Kent who was currently talking to another editor. As soon as they saw her approaching, they immediately stopped whatever it was they were discussing about.

"Miss Mo, I hope I get to have the chance to work with you next time. You are very good with words," the editor praised.

His face showed regret over just meeting Melinda after she had already found a company to work for.

A lot of people thought at first that Melinda's writing was too dark, but strangely it was clean. If one were to look into it carefully, they would realize that the persistence of a stubborn person in the darkness was not something any ordinary writer could easily possess.

Because of the strong contrast, her writing became even more distracting.

"I'm glad you appreciate it. I suppose that the opportunity will present itself soon." She smiled politely and shook the editor's hand.

"I won't be disturbing you any further, then. Let's have another chat soon when you have some free time."

The editor then turned to face Kent, smiling as he held out his hand. "I'm looking forward to our collaboration."

"It would be my honor," he replied.

The editor left not long after both of them shook hands. Melinda figured that the collaboration they were just talking about meant Kent would work with this magazine.

Kent glanced over to Melinda. "You look pale. Today must have been exhausting for you."

He was actually aware that the phone call Melinda had a moment ago was the reason behind her miserable expression. After all, Kent was a clever man.

Melinda let out a soft sigh. "Yeah. It has been bothering me for days."

She was always actively participating in the whole process even though the studio mainly handled majority of it. Naturally, she would be exhausted.

"We have an appointment later. Why don't you take a break for a while?" Kent gave her a sympathized look.

Although it was obvious that he did not approve of Jonas not showing up today, he would not say it out loud. The current situation between him and Melinda was a sensitive topic.

All the questions and answers for the interview were already prepared in advance so Melinda did not have to worry about how to answer properly. As soon as Kent had left, Melinda crashed herself into the lounge's sofa.
