Ex-wife, Please Come Back

The atmosphere suddenly felt hot even though the AC was on. The assistant swallowed hard. Then, he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead. He was obviously afraid because of his boss' outburst. But he had to do something to quell this anger.

"Sir, I don't think you are worse than Mr. Jacob. You're far better than him. During the time that the Shi Group was running at a loss, he didn't slash the salaries of the staff. Instead, he mounted pressure on the directors. I think that was a very stupid move. I mean who gives preferential treatment to ordinary employees at the expense of the stakeholders in the company?"

The assistant wiped the sweat on his forehead again. It was obvious that he was flattering Jonathan. Even a blind man could see that.

But Jonathan seemed to believe what his assistant had said. He nodded in agreement. "You are right. I would never be as stupid as Jacob. I am a wise man. And I take the bull by the horns. I have just taken over the company. And it's currently in a mess. This isn't my fault but Jacob's. He made the company plunge into recession before handing it over. If not for this, I would've made a difference before now."

Jonathan's anger quelled a little. But his hatred for Jacob increased. It is a known fact that Jonathan hated Jacob with all his heart. He also disliked being compared to him.

'No one can stop me from succeeding. Not even Jacob. If he tries it, I will squash him like a mosquito.' Jonathan narrowed his eyes. His current expression was very sinister. And he smiled devilishly. After he moved into the office, he had changed everything that was in it. He didn't want to use anything that Jacob had used before.

However, while these things could be changed, the memories couldn't. Jacob had been working at the company for so many years. He was known as the face of the Shi Group.

Nevertheless, Jonathan couldn't let go of this. He had always thought of ways to kick Jacob out. He felt that his belonging had been taken away from him for so many years. To Jonathan, the company was his. And he was supposed to be the president. But for so many years, Jacob called the shots. Thinking of this, Jonathan's blood began to boil again. His eyebrows furrowed and he clenched his fist.

He wasn't ready to end the competition with Jacob. In fact, it had just begun. Jonathan was ready to go into the battlefield. And beating Jacob was his sole aim.

Meanwhile, after Jacob finally drove out of the company's premises, he felt relaxed. It was as if a burden was lifted off his shoulders. This matter was finally over. He had severed ties with the Shi Group. And he was on his way into his future. Now, he would do the things that he had interest in.

The road to his future wasn't going to be a smooth one. Jacob understood this. So, he needed people who would work with him. As a matter of fact, Jacob wanted to find someone who had the same views as him. He needed people with whom he would work with to execute his plans.

One of such persons was his former assistant, Cindy. For the time she had worked for him, Jacob had been convinced that she was a hardworking and trustworthy employee. However, he wasn't sure if she would agree to work with him now. Jacob wanted to try his luck by asking her. He wouldn't know if she would agree or not if he just assumed her response.

When he got to the compound of Cindy's apartment, he called her to say that he had arrived. Then, she told him to come upstairs.

Jacob received a shocker after he knocked on Cindy's front door. Kim was the one who answered the door. Jacob had thought that Cindy and Kim were no longer dating. In fact, he reasoned that they weren't on talking terms at all after that nerve-racking fraud case at the company. He never knew that their relationship grew stronger after that episode. The lovebirds had worked it out. They remained together despite the huge strain that the episode put on their relationship. That's wonderful!

"Mr. Jacob." Kim greeted Jacob who was staring with his mouth slightly open in shock. At that instance, Kim flashed a smile at him. Jacob saw that the smile was sincere. And he immediately came back to his senses.
