Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Nobody dares to speak, which was to be expected.

"Today, I'd like to introduce a new member to you," Sara announced while sitting in the swivel chair for the CEO in the conference room. Then, she clapped her hands hard to show her enthusiasm and excitement.

Everyone's eyes were on her, making Jacob uncomfortable. For some reason, it felt as though he was sharing his beloved to other people.

Sara's outfit was gender-neutral. Despite that, she looked hot because of her exquisite figure.

Jacob had to admit that her curvaceous figure made her look enticing.

"Boss, isn't this Mr. Jacob?" someone asked in a low voice. Although Jacob was quite famous for his reputation, there were still some who did not know him.

Unfortunately, for those who knew him, Jacob left a bad impression on them.

"Well, I think everyone is aware who he is," Sara answered while pointing at Jacob.

"Anyway, I'd like to formally introduce to you Mr. Jacob, the former CEO of the Shi Group. He has decided to join our company. Everyone, let's extend our warm welcome to him,"

she added impassionedly, but nobody seemed impressed by her announcement. Meanwhile, Jacob observed the people present. Although they seemed unwelcoming, he remained calm and composed.

He had anticipated that it would not be easy to get along with these people. As it was within his expectation, it did not concern him.

Besides, his reputation had been besmirched. It was not surprising to receive such treatment.

Nevertheless, Jacob felt uncomfortable.

As Cindy noticed that he seemed unhappy, she felt a little anxious as well. 'Mr. Jacob has never been treated so badly even in the Shi Group! Why are they being like this?

They've gone too far!' she thought as she felt sorry for him.

"If there's nothing else you'd like to add, the meeting is over. From now on, Jacob will be the deputy CEO of the company. This position was vacant anyway. Do you have any objections?"

Even though Sara asked about it, she really did not care about their opinions. To her surprise, someone was bold enough to question Jacob.

"Mr. Jacob, why do you want to join our company even though it's smaller than the Shi Group? If my memory serves me right, it was you who withdrew the investment in our company. Didn't you know that what you had done almost caused our company to go bankrupt?"
