Chapter 154 Cold Face Warm Heart
"Clap." The pen fell on the desk, and the whole person of Jonas leaned back on the chair. Melinda picked up the pen on the desk and signed her name quickly. "This is yours."
Melinda left one of them to Jonas, and then left with the other one in her hand. She didn't have any mercy on it as she walked away decisively.
With his mind preoccupied with the past, Jonas didn't notice that Melinda had left and felt dispirited in an instant.
Her luggage had already been packed up. After returning to the Gu's mansion, she went straight to find Nelson and put the divorce agreement in front of him without saying a word.
"Grandpa, take care of yourself." Nelson saw that both of them had signed their names on the agreement, so he didn't say anything more. At this time, he began to reflect on whether it was right or wrong to have them be together in a tough way.
"What's your plan?"
"I will leave here first."
Melinda didn't plan to lie to Nelson. The study was empty, and he looked lonely. They didn't talk much before Melinda left.
However, they didn't know when they would see each other again.
After Melinda left the Gu family, Jonas returned home and found that the change was not big. Melinda almost brought nothing with her.
Nelson told Yulia that Melinda and Jonas were divorced. The news came a little suddenly, but she was not surprised.
After all, their private instigation had a big effect.
The atmosphere in the Gu's mansion was not good. Everyone in the room was preoccupied with something. However, no one noticed Yulia. When Yulia returned to the bedroom, she told Emily about the news. "Finally they are divorced,"
said Emily, relieved. It seemed that the hotel night was a big blow to her.
"I don't know why Jonas suddenly agreed." Yulia didn't forget that they didn't divorce because Jonas didn't agree or even avoid facing Melinda.
"Didn't you ask someone to report their divorce?" Emily was really shocked at this time. She thought that it was because Yulia finally became smart, but it turned out that Yulia was totally unaware of it. The two of them couldn't get a result, but the process was no longer important.
Melinda had asked Kent to keep an eye on the new residence these days. After she moved out from Gu family, Kent took her to the new place.
"That's all you have?" Kent was surprised to see that Melinda only carried a small suitcase. She had lived in the same place for several years. How could she have nothing?
"Just bring some necessities. I can buy the rest." Melinda smiled to show her indifference. Kent had driven the car to the housing estate.
This housing estate in A City was middle grade. The transportation was very convenient and the green was very good. There was a small garden in the middle. Because it was winter, no one was willing to go out.
Melinda lived on the 12th floor, and there were four apartments on each floor. She lived in the innermost one.
"Not bad."
Melinda looked around and then came to the comment. It was a typical apartment with furniture, which was fully equipped, without a lot of trouble. Even if it was a little more expensive for rent, she felt it was worth it now.
"My colleague recommended this place to me. It's said that the people in this area don't do square dancing, which is absolutely rare."
"Treat your colleague for a meal. I'll pay the bill."
There were two bedrooms in total. One of them was directly changed to the study by the original owner, with a lot of books in it.
"Alright."
"Well, I'll personally cook for you and your colleague here tomorrow. Ask your wife to come as well. I've caused you a lot of trouble in this period of time." Melinda and Kent's wife rarely met each other. Now she could not even remember her name.
However, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Melinda directly made such a decision. Kent knew her and did not refuse.
"Leo helped me a lot lately. Would you mind if I ask him to come too?" Melinda put the things in the bedroom and said to Kent, who was sitting in the living room.
"Well, I haven't seen him for a while since I knew him." They had been talking on wechat all the time. When he came to A City, they were both busy and didn't pay much attention to this. Time passed by but they still hadn't seen each other.
The meal was settled down. After sending Kent away, Melinda went to the supermarket nearby and bought many things.
Melinda then settled down here. The next day, everyone had a happy reunion. In the following days, she was decorating her new home.
When she was alone, she liked to play some music, listen to the radio, or simply turned on the TV. In this day, she cleaned the room and turned the TV on.
"Thank you for your love, my fans. I have someone that I like, and I'll try my best to be with him." Emily looked calmly at the camera. Her years of career made her feel good about shooting.
Emily was dressed in a purple dress, which looked very luxurious. Her hair style matched her dress, making her look fashion and gorgeous.
Emily's voice was highly recognizable, and Melinda stopped all of a sudden. She had tried to escape those things these days. When she heard Emily's voice, she also picked up the things she had forgotten intentionally.
There was Emily between her and Jonas, and now that they were divorced, Emily was telling the public that she liked someone in a short time.
The hidden meaning was obvious.
Melinda could think about it, so the media with a keen sense of nose for gossips was even keener on gossips. A reporter soon asked, "Emily, could you please tell us who he is? Fans must be curious about him, and want to know if he deserves you."
It seemed that the reporters were concerned about Emily, but they were still digging out information. Most people avoided the topic, but Emily was very generous to have a big talk with them.
She didn't say much, but it was enough for everyone to guess.
"We have known each other for many years. Although he is cold on the outside, at least he treats me in such a gentle and easy way."
Emily's cold voice was dripping with sarcasm. Many people promptly thought of Jonas. Likewise, someone also directly asked whether it was Jonas.
"He is an excellent man."
Emily avoided the topic cleverly, but in many people's eyes, she admitted it. Emily's agent took the opportunity to stand out, gave them a speech, and took Emily away. However, this didn't stop the media from spreading the gossip. Many magazines that were not afraid of death had already began to report it directly.
The exaggerated topic appeared continuously in various ways, bringing this matter to the climax.
Melinda felt disgusted to see Emily's pretension in front of the camera, but she calmly turned off the TV.
Since she had decided to leave and give up, those things would have nothing to do with her.
Since their divorce, Jonas had paid all his attention to his work. He knew these things from the secretary office by accident and heard someone talking about them. Those secretaries who were talking happily turned around and saw their CEO standing behind with a cold face. All of them were stunned and stood still. "Bo... Boss." the secretary who had already stuttered regretted gossip now. After all, the office had specifically said that gossip was not allowed.
In the past, Jonas would punish her in a violent way, but now he just warned her casually and then returned to his office.
With just a few key words, Jonas saw the video on that day.
"William." Just a few minutes after Jonas finished his words, William came in. It was already usual for him to be on standby at any time.
"Has the media contacted me lately?" Jonas's question was reasonable. Since the media dared to say it was him, they would try to contact him, trying to get the news from both sides and then confirmed the gossip.
"I have refused everything as you said."
William was confused. As the chief secretary, he was busy every day, so he didn't know about it. Every time media called him, he would be refused with various excuses.
He was good at dealing with such things.
"Find a few familiar media to spread the news that who Emily likes has nothing to do with me, but I have someone I love. Tell them not to make groundless rumors."
It was true that Jonas had promised to divorce, but that didn't mean that he had given up. On the one hand, he was worried that Melinda would be disappointed in such a news. On the other hand, he hoped that she would see it and come back to him in a fit of anger to stimulate Emily.
He knew that it was unlikely for Melinda to do that because of her character.
Therefore, he must make a statement to clarify his position. He and Melinda had enough misunderstanding.
William had always been an efficient person. As soon as Jonas commanded, many copies appeared on the Internet, and the news of the two had been analyzed together.
Thinking of the efforts Emily said and Jonas quickly disassociated himself from her, they came up with a dramatic play.
Melinda intended to avoid these news, but she could never stop the headline of Weibo.
It was a well-known blogger's analysis of the two people's words. He described Emily as a poor girl who had a crush on Jonas but had no chance to be recognized by him because of her identity. "It's good. Both of them fell in love with someone,"
Melinda murmured as she closed the website. She was a literary woman, but she thought that Jonas's words that who Emily liked had nothing to do with him meant it was enough as long as he liked Emily. If Jonas knew that it was he who avoided arousing suspicion but Melinda misunderstood him, he would be so angry.
Melinda was annoyed with the news for no reason, and then reminded herself that it was time to start a new life and say goodbye to the past.
