Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Jacob watched the employees as they went about their businesses. As he did that, he tried to calm his nerves. He didn't want his anxiety to show during the meeting with his acquaintance. With a bold look on his face, Jacob walked to the door. The receptionist looked at him and said coldly, "Mr. Jacob, here we are. You can go in now." The receptionist was frowning at him. Deep down in her heart, she disliked his behavior. Whenever she remembered what she had read in the news previously, her blood boiled. 'Why am I obsessed with this playboy? I need to get a grip of myself!' she thought.

Regardless of the receptionist's glare, Jacob still flashed a smile at her. After all, he wasn't there to pick a fight.

"Oh, okay. Thank you." He politely thanked her. Then, he knocked on the door gently.

"Come in, please." Jacob heard a gentle and magnetic voice from the other side of the door.

With that, he pushed the door gently and walked into the office. A man was sitting comfortably on a chair with a calm expression on his face. His features were impeccable. The man had very fair skin and he was dressed decently. Grey hairs were on the temple of his ears. To crown it all, he looked like an experienced fellow.

"Mr. Shawn, I am so sorry to bother you today," Jacob apologized sincerely. He also smiled at the man which showed that it wasn't his intention to bring any disturbance. Actually, he wouldn't be there if he wasn't in dire need of assistance.

Sensing Jacob's calmness, Shawn Ho was slightly surprised. To him, people couldn't be so unperturbed when they encountered such misfortune. 'Hmm. This man never ceases to amaze me. Why is he so relaxed even when he is suffering?' As he thought about this, Shawn Ho realized that Jacob wasn't an ordinary man. His ability to stay calm was commendable.

Although Jacob was still a little nervous, he still walked over steadily and calmly. He was there to discuss an important matter. So, he had to show that he was confident if he wanted to win Shawn Ho over.

"Please have a seat, Mr. Jacob." Shawn Ho spoke to him politely. Despite the news that went round that Jacob was a bad person, he didn't quite believe them. 'This fellow might not even be as bad as the tabloids claim.

Perhaps he was set up by some of his enemies. People can do the unthinkable just to destroy a person they hated. Well, I better see for myself.' As Shawn Ho looked at his visitor, he didn't feel disgusted. In fact, he saw that Jacob was the opposite of what the tabloids described him as. To him, he didn't seem like a scumbag.

Unfortunately, most of the businessmen didn't think so. They just swallowed the rumors hook, line, and sinker.

At that point when Jacob was standing on the edge of a cliff, Shawn Ho was practically the only one in the business circle who had a positive opinion of him.
