Chapter 160 The Trap
After Melinda went to a gay bar, she seriously suspected that her superior was a gay, but she was not the kind of talkative person. On the contrary, it was Victor who asked her to observe others and remind her of something, which helped her to come up with some ideas.
However, this was her first time to try such a topic. It was inevitable that she was not confident. After coming back home, she recorded what she had talked with Victor in the bar.
This was the most contradictory article that Melinda had ever written. From the contradiction, homosexuality was a rare love in the eyes of most people.
Loving someone was something that seemed great but insignificant. No one knew who he would fall in love with in life. Falling in love was not a mistake. Every genuine love was worthy of respect.
However, at the same time, Melinda criticized many players who thought that they would not be accepted by others to abuse themselves, and they would hurt others.
The article was full of comments and praise, but she told everyone in details that they were no different from ordinary people. The family members were concerned about the descendants of the family and it was easy to solve the problem with the progress of science.
The article was pretty freely written. After coming to her sense, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Fortunately, it was weekend the next day, so she didn't have to go to work.
When Victor received Melinda's call while he was racketing around, he was so shocked that he almost fell down from the sofa.
"Do you want to make interview? Are you kidding me? You're not a journalist." Victor pushed the beautiful girl aside and drank a glass of beer on the table to calm down himself.
After listening to the sound of the karaoke over there gradually quieted down, Melinda continued, "That's right. Everyone can say the thing I write, but I think that there's no an example. You must have someone you know, and it's all up to you."
After thinking for a while, Victor agreed. With his help, Melinda soon completed her report. During the work day, she had passed the department review and was going to release it in the next magazine. "Melinda, I didn't expect that you would write such a thing." Maggie took a cup of hot drink in front of Melinda. Holding the cup in her hands, Melinda found that her article had been forwarded widely. It was not a big sensation, but was a sensation.
"I didn't know where to start. Mr. Cheng helped me a lot. I can't disappoint him, right?" Melinda continued, smiling.
Melinda also felt that Victor's attitude was strange, but she would take the work seriously.
"You wrote it very well and was emotional. I haven't told you that my elder brother is a gay. He has been living outside alone for many years." Maggie looked out of the window. Although she was smiling happily, her eyes were full of missing for her brother.
Looking at Maggie, Melinda didn't know how to comfort her. Because of the investigation, she knew that they were not the only suffering, but also the people close to them.
Sometimes the words were too easy to be described.
"You have a good relationship with your brother, right?"
"Well, he has spoiled me since I was a child. This time, I sent your article to him, and then you know what? The man you interviewed is his lover. Isn't it amazing?" Maggie paid more attention to these articles because of her brother. When she read the article that Melinda wrote, she felt a resonance with it.
She had never thought that there would be such a coincidence.
It never occurred to Melinda as well. She would recall that couple and sincerely said, "I can see that they love each other very much."
"But I don't know when our family will accept it." Maggie sighed again. It was much easier to talk about it than the first time she had known about it.
"They will. Family... I get a message."
Melinda wanted to say something more, but her cell phone rang. It was a strange number. She often received such kind of messages recently. The owners of these numbers were only one person behind it, and that was Jonas!
Melinda could not help but doubt that if Jonas had bought all the numbers and she blacklisted him one after another.
The play was so childish that Melinda thought they were at odds with each other that she did not care about it and stopped blacklist him. Victor did it out of ill will. You'd better stay away from him from now on." Jonas's message was concise and overbearing like himself.
Looking at the message, Melinda found it funny. When she was about to delete the message, she found it was from Jonas.
He didn't want to waste time in these places in the past, but now he sent more than ten messages to her through wechat.
He just wanted to tell Melinda that Victor had no good intention to approach her.
The messages came one after another. Melinda gritted her teeth and Maggie looked at her in surprise. She had never seen Melinda as fierce as now.
"What's wrong? Is there anything urgent?" Seeing that Melinda hadn't replied the message for a long time, Maggie couldn't help asking. Melinda shook her head with a smile on her face, and then indifferently put Jonas into the blacklist again.
She was helpless about Jonas now.
Jonas was still explaining what kind of a person Victor was to Melinda, the message became red when it was sent.
"Bitch! How dare you blacklist me again?!" In a rage, Jonas wanted to smash his phone. He couldn't remember how many times he had been blocked.
Such a childish behavior even made Jonas feel sweet when he thought about it.
Melinda must still have feelings for him. Otherwise, she would have ignored him.
Jonas had totally disregarded his annoying harassment.
After finishing the afternoon tea with Maggie, Melinda came back to the office. Now she was the celebrity in the office, and the superior had obvious opinions on her.
However, after the report about the article about homosexuality, many people looked at Melinda with a touch of inquiry. They couldn't bear to see someone else good, and they always liked to have malicious speculation.
However, Melinda didn't expect that the person who helped her stop the rumor was Jonas. When she saw that person at the door of her company after work, her face absolutely didn't look good.
"What are you doing here?!" Obviously, Melinda was impatient. But Jonas didn't mind. He even smiled and said, "I'm picking you up after work, and I'm sincerely showing my determination to pursue you." Such Jonas made Melinda sick. If only he were still standing at the cold end, it would be fine. But this really made her uncomfortable.
"Jonas, I hope you won't disturb my peaceful life."
Melinda stared closely at Jonas as if she was warning him, but she was on her guard all the time. If someone recognized Jonas, she would be in trouble.
"I'm just on guard against you being too close to Victor. He absolutely has no good intentions."
Jonas's eyes narrowed slightly, there was a sense of danger in them, and he looked at Melinda with sharp, hard eyes.
"We have divorced," Melinda reminded Jonas coldly. Now he had no right to discipline her.
"I don't need you to remind me." When it came to this topic, Jonas's face darkened. He had regretted more than once for being impulsive at that time. Melinda was provoking him deliberately. How could he let her wish come true like that? But it didn't matter that they divorced, since they could start all over again. This time, he wouldn't make a mistake.
They had been tangling at the gate of the company. At last, in order not to attract too many people's attention, Melinda got in Jonas's car.
The next day, when Melinda arrived at the company, she heard many people talking about the travelling to Maldives.
"There are only two quotas for a department. We definitely can't count on them. Maldives, a tourist resort."
"Who do you think is coming this time?"
"I'm sure that Melinda can attend. Another one must be our minister." The two men turned around and saw that Melinda was walking past them. Both of them were struck dumb for a moment.
It was not surprising that these kinds of talking behind someone happened in the company. But it was really unlucky for those whose words had been heard by the one they talked. Luckily, they didn't say anything bad.
The company was well paid, especially for the outstanding employees. This trip to Maldives was a free trip. Melinda would must go. If Melinda was not on the list, the staff in the company would be astounded by the shady deal inside.
If it had been in the past, Melinda might give the chance to others. But recently, she had been fed up with the unbearable harassment of Jonas.
He could always entered her life in various ways.
Melinda also wanted to go on a trip to relax herself and was looking forward to this trip.
It was about four days since it was three days' trip adding one day on the plane.
More than twenty people gathered in the company, which was spectacular. But most of them were leaders, such as Victor.
It was very warm and even a little hot here. Although the journey made Melinda tired, she was eventually cured by this kind of weather.
There were various beach skirts in the suitcase, and sunglasses were necessary for the safety of the eyes. After a little washing, Melinda prepared to eat something before taking a rest.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw that Victor was holding a scantily dressed woman, and they were walking past her while talking and laughing. That woman was so close to Victor that she almost clung to him.
The atmosphere was a little embarrassing. Melinda smiled awkwardly and greeted, "Mr. Cheng."
She stared at the ground or the distance eagerly. Compared with her embarrassment, Victor was very calm. "Melinda, it's rare to go out for a trip. Have fun."
While saying that, he took the woman in his arms and went to the room next door. Immediately, the face of Melinda became pale, and a bad feeling rose in her heart.
Did Victor live next door to her?! So for the next few days... Melinda began to worry about her sleep.
"He deserves to be called a famous playboy." Others had just packed up their stuff while he was holding a girl in arms.
The schedule was arranged by the company. It was all team activity. Victor appeared every day with different women. And when he returned room at night, there was another one.
