Forgive My Ex-husband

Chapter 161 Cling To Superior

As a neighbor, Melinda intuitively felt that it was terrible for someone to live a life with messy

relationships.

The trip of three days passed quickly. Melinda returned to A City with the company's people. The

company as considerate and allowed everyone to take a day off to have a good rest, after all, it was

tiring to travel around.

But there was a price to pay for a rest. Everyone had to do something about travel according their own

career. For example, Melinda had to write some articles about Maldives.

The Internet was full of this kind of articles. But the company just loved it.

As Melinda hadn't been home for a few days, the apartment was dusty. She threw her luggage directly

on the ground and began to tidy it up.

Just after finishing cleaning, the doorbell rang. It was Jonas. He came out with a pale face and felt

relieved when Melinda opened the door.

Although he had found out that Melinda went on a trip with the company, he was still worried that she

would not come back.

"Why didn't you tell me about your trip?" Jonas didn't sleep well these days. He felt like a piece of fish

being slaughtered.

"Mr. Jonas, is that why you came here? Now I'm back and I'm fine. If you don't have anything else, you

can leave." Melinda was too tired to argue with Jonas, but she could do nothing about it.

It seemed that after they divorced, his desire of possession was stronger than ever. He obviously did

not like her, why did he have to be entangled with her?

"Remember to tell me next time." Now, Jonas had been immune to Melinda's impatience, and he

added secretly in his heart, 'Or I would be worried.'

"Okay, bye," Melinda said perfunctorily, and then closed the door. She felt that Jonas was really

strange.

After resting at home for a day, when Melinda returned to the company, she was in high spirits. She

brought gifts to everyone in the department.

The group of people were very happy and made a fuss about it. They asked Melinda what she thought

about traveling for public expense.

"You will know it when I finished the article," Melinda joked. She went back to her seat and began to

deal with the matter she had accumulated these days.

The article was not in a hurry. As long as it was handed over this month, because the company's goal

was not to profit, but to motivate other staff in this way.

"You have worked overtime since you came back." A mocking voice came from the top of Melinda's Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

head. She moved her eyes away from the screen and looked at Victor's enlarged face.

"Mr. Cheng, you scared the shit out of me." Melinda was shocked. She closed her eyes and massaged

the part around her eyes. She must be feeling very uncomfortable sitting on the computer for too long.

"Are you kidding me? It's so weird that you act like you can't bear to look at my handsome face."

Hearing this, Victor yelled. Melinda continued her massage and rolled her eyes silently.

"What's up?" Melinda blinked to get used to the light. It was already six o'clock at night.

"The weather is good tonight. It's suitable for having a good date. How about going for a walk by the

sea?" Victor said as he stared at Melinda with his charming eyes.

However, such skills were not enough for Melinda. After all, she had even been immune to Jonas.

"Not interested."

As Melinda spoke, she sorted out the files on her desk. It was no longer necessary to work overtime.

She had to be patient with her work.

Victor just watched her packing up. When Melinda was about to leave with her bag, he dragged her to

the elevator without giving her any chance to say anything.

"Don't have any mental stress. Take it as a leader who will help you with your work and get relaxed."

Melinda kept struggling, but finally, she gave up.

"Mr. Cheng, haven't you seen enough of the sea in Maldives?" Victor walked much faster. Dragged by

him, Melinda felt a little bit uncomfortable.

Victor slowed down his pace and answered Melinda's question with a brazen face, "I've been busy with

looking at beautiful foreign women those days."

That was the end of the conversation. The beach was not far from the company. Fortunately there was

a speed limit, otherwise Victor would drive faster.

The red sports car was just like Victor's flamboyant personality. When Melinda got off the car, she felt

her cheeks cold, because Victor had opened the hood to show off.

"The sour smell of love... Oh, no, it must be salty smell of the sea." Victor hung the sports car's key on

his finger and turned a circle around as he pretend to be affectionate. It was so childish in Melinda's

eyes.

Melinda covered her coat more tightly. There were many people by the sea, and most of them were

couples. In the light of the street lamps, it was a dreamlike beauty.

The rising and falling sounds sounded like music.

"Let's go." Seeing that Melinda was standing where she had been, Victor looked into the sea through

the tiny cracks of the tree, and once again dragged her to the seaside.

"Mr. Cheng, what do you want from me by taking me here?" Melinda broke free from Victor and walked

ahead consciously. There was a coffee shop nearby and Melinda followed the route in her memory. As

expected, she saw the sign not far away.

"For a walk,"

Victor said calmly. After hearing that, Melinda headed straight to the coffee shop.

"Mr. Cheng, a walk is a good way to digest food after dinner. So I think what I need now is to fill my

stomach."

The coffee shop was closer and closer. Melinda touched her empty stomach and walked in, ordering a

small cake and a cup of milk.

"Do you girls all eat little? Or is it because you are here with a man?" Noticing that Melinda looked

hungry but she ordered little, Victor asked.

"Haha." Melinda found a place to sit down with the cake. Perhaps this was what most girls did. But she

only did this kind of stupid thing in front of Jonas.

Victor was a restless man. He never stopped talking even when he was in a coffee shop. Under the

strange gazes from the people around them, Melinda ate faster and faster.

That was a lots of pressure!

Victor led Melinda to the beach. Without saying a word, she just took a walk.

"You are not so dull as today," Victor said helplessly, looking at Melinda who was lowering her head and

seemed to search for shells.

"I'm fine." Melinda's answer implied what the perfunctory move was again, but neither of them noticed

that there were two persons sneaking after them.

"Is that Mr. Cheng and Melinda?" The woman pointed at a man and a woman not far away. The person

next to her looked at them and said, "That man with a frivolous dress-up is definitely Mr. Cheng. As for

the woman beside him, I remember that Melinda wore the coat today."

"Are they... No way!" the woman said in disbelief. The other woman snorted, looking at the back of

Melinda with a touch of envy.

"Who knows?"

Melinda became a little scared since she was taken closer and closer to the sea by Victor. She

mumbled, "It will be very dangerous if we go further."

"Don't worry. The sea cannot take you away with me." As soon as Victor finished his words, he raised a

heap of sea water and sprayed it to the direction of Melinda. Poor Melinda was unable to dodge in a

hurry.

Victor made fun of her, as if he was addicted to it. At last, they returned to the beach with the warning

of the staff.

"You are so boring," Victor said, lying on the sand. At the thought of the frightened look on Melinda's

face just now, he burst into laughter.

It was rare to see such a serious expression on the face of a woman who was always sedate.

"I didn't say I'm interesting or I want to go to the seaside. And, it is childish."

Melinda wiped her hair and wet parts with a bag of tissue. Victor was rather casual. He took off his

shoes and lay on the sand. He said that there were several sets of clothes in his car.

Till Melinda came back home, she still couldn't figure out why Victor did this strange behavior.

The news of the two people playing happily by the seaside spread fast in the company like a virus. The

two people who were spreading the news said that they had seen it with their eyes, and they even had

photos.

"Melinda is really not a simple person. I was wondering why a person in the planning department came

to the editing department without any reason and got a special treatment."

"Yes, she is in a free and unrestrained state when I worked hard every month to finish my work. Now I

only regret for not having the money to go to South Korea to have a plastic surgery."

"Come on! Even if you just have that surgery, you are not in such a good shape as hers. Now I

understand why a rookie would have so many articles published on the authoritative magazine. It turns

out that the back door has been opened for her."

"……"

There were so many discussions in the company that none of them believed the relationship between

Melinda and Victor was pure superior subordinate relationship.

By taking advantage of this point, they overturned all the efforts that Melinda had made during this

period. The so-called talents, at this time, had become a joke.

The matter was only a discussion between the departments. Later, the whole company was dominated

in the discussion, and they said that in an orderly way. In the end, they felt that the articles written by

Melinda had been written by Victor or by somebody else.

From the way how Victor treated Melinda, with Victor's famous playboy title, all the people thought that

Melinda was clinging to him.

As soon as Melinda arrived at the company, she received a call from Jonas.

After several rounds, Jonas finally got through to Melinda.

"Melinda, I'm near your company today. Let's go to dinner together. I remember there's a place have

the toasted fish you like nearby." In order to make up with Melinda again, Jonas appeared in front of

her to remind her of his existence from time to time.

He was afraid that Melinda had been too absorbed in the new life to forget him.

"I don't like it now." It was when they were in the university that Melinda liked toasted fish. Later on, she

learned that Jonas liked light food, so she also adjusted her taste. She liked to eat spicy food. During

that period, she didn't touch any red pepper for the whole three months because Jonas liked light food.
