Ex-wife, Please Come Back

All the directors remained in the boardroom even after Jacob stormed out. They seemed to be shocked by what had just happened. Of course, they never thought that their agitations would lead to this extent. They were just concerned about their livelihood and that of their family and friends. Just then, the deafening silence was broken. Jonathan had just laughed hysterically as he clapped his powerful hands.

"I think you all are skillful actors in the entertainment industry. Previously, many of you told me of how much you hated Jacob. Now I want you all to confess boldly. I need to hear you say it once again. Were you all telling me lies?"

Jonathan clapped his hands louder than before. The clap was to mock the directors for the way they just behaved. It didn't mean that he was happy with them.

In fact, he was feeling angry and disgusted by their actions. They all behaved like cowards. Seeing that everyone looked dejected after Jacob stormed out, Jonathan was even more furious. His blood was boiling under his skin.

He was annoyed that they felt remorseful for Jacob's actions. This was someone who never really liked to be at the company. To tell the truth, Jacob loathed working there. He didn't even bother to defend his image in front of his employees. This showed that Jacob didn't care about his position!

Even after Jonathan's words, all the directors still remained mute. No one dared to provoke him any further. The room was as silent as a court room. Actually, they were all deep in thoughts. If they worked under Jonathan in the future, would they benefit from his administration?

In terms of integrity, Jonathan wasn't comparable to Jacob. This was a fact and the directors knew that. Also, Jonathan wasn't as hardworking and capable as Jacob. The latter had proven to be industrious over the years. He had taken the company to a dignified position above other rival organizations. However, it was too late for the praises. They couldn't turn back the hands of time after all that just happened.

It was at that moment that the directors realized their mistake. They had seen a pit of fire in front of them and they jumped right into it without hesitation.

They felt so ashamed but it was too late for regrets. The deed had already been done.

Meanwhile, after Jacob stormed out of the meeting room, he sighed heavily. He felt as if a heavy burden had just been eased from his shoulders. His mission at the company had finally come to an end. And now his own life was just beginning. He was finally free!

When Jacob was in such a high position, he couldn't see the world clearly. This was because everything seemed to flash rapidly before his eyes. They also seemed like vanity. And his real needs, what he was truly concerned about had long been abandoned by other people.

When Jacob got to his office, he immediately sat on his chair and lit a cigarette. As he smoked, he thought about what had just happened. Things had happened so fast that he couldn't explain.

'Forget it, Jacob. There was no point of explaining anything. Besides, someone else would handle the situation, ' he concluded. In the past, he was always bothered about the affairs of the company. He concerned himself with the details of everything that happened. For years, he toiled non-stop for the betterment of the business.

worrying about all that forever! He had already done everything within his capacity. Truly, Jacob had run out of ideas to salvage the situation. Now, he didn't have to worry about the relationship between the stakeholders anymore. The performance of the company was no
