Ex-wife, Please Come Back

For the past few years of his life, Jonathan had lived in the shadow of his cousin. During those times he thought Jacob was having a great time being the CEO, but now that he sat in this position, he finally knew why he was nothing compared to his cousin.

How could he be better than Jacob when he chose to have an easy and comfortable life instead of working hard? While people were enduring hardship to get to where they were, he was still uncertain about his position.

It even came to a point where Jonathan thought that the world was being unfair to him.

But who was he kidding? He caused his own problems! He could have spent the past few years of his life working hard, but all he did was complain and blame others, which was why he hadn't learned anything except hypocrisy.

Fortunately, he thought it was not too late for him to start learning. Looking at the puzzled look on Thompson's face, he couldn't help but be a little pissed off.

"How to cooperate? You tell me. We'd better discuss about the investment later. After all, the working capital was the most important part for the jewelry industry. If anything goes wrong, my money will become a commodity that I can't sell. That will be a huge loss, right?"

With his legs crossed, Thompson glanced at Jonathan, obviously not taking his words seriously.

"Hey! If you want to work with me, show some respect. I won't be the one to please you. Besides, it's you who came to me. I want to know what's in it for me."

As they spoke, Jonathan raised his head and crossed his arms, looking confident and arrogant.

But Thompson was not impressed at all. In fact, he even hated it. He thought people who were not capable to help him had no right to be arrogant.

Even so, Thompson faked a smile. Then he stood up, and slowly walked towards Jonathan.

"You must be kidding, Mr. Jonathan. My attitude totally depends on you. If you think you are the one in charge, then I have to refuse to cooperate with you."

"You!"
