Chapter 171 Suicide To Apology
Emily was glad that Jonas had come to assist her, so she called him without hesitation. But there was only a long beep.
"Jonas, do you have time for dinner? I want to thank you for your help." After waiting for a few minutes, there was still no reply from Jonas when she sent a few messages to him through wechat. But she kept sending him several messages continuously.
Looking at the flickering screen of his mobile phone, Jonas's fingers holding the pen increased a lot. William watched, only to feel cold sweat.
Emily was really a stupid girl.
Feeling annoyed, Jonas finally stopped working and sent a message to Emily.
"No, I don't want to be misunderstood by others."
After he replied her message, Jonas handed his phone to William. William had to take over the task with difficulty. If Emily would come back to annoy him again, he could handle it himself.
After receiving the message, Emily was disappointed. She thought that since Jonas would help her, he must still have feelings for her.
The "others", she guessed, must be Melinda. Recently, she had been in a difficult position because of her own affairs, and had no idea of Melinda's recent situation.
Emily was dressed up and restored her usual glamorous appearance. She turned around in the mall and picked out a watch, then she asked the clerk to package it carefully.
With this gift, Emily came to the Soaring Group again. "I know you are busy, so I came here to thank you with the gift I personally picked. You can't refuse it,"
Emily said in a lovely way. Now that she had nothing to worry about, her temperament changed a lot. At least she was not as sullen as before.
"Okay," Jonas answered indifferently. He put the gift aside and decided to give it to William later.
Emily didn't mind. Since Jonas was absent-minded, she kept talking alone. After a while, Emily stood up from her seat, walked behind Jonas, and put a little thing into his suit secretly. When he was in the office, he often wore shirt and the suit hung behind him.
"I don't want to bother you anymore. I'll go back first," Emily said with a smile. And then she left by herself without need to be seen off. William felt strange when he saw this.
"Miss Bai has left?" William asked doubtfully. He saw that the absent-minded boss looked at him absentmindedly and said, "What? You don't want her to leave?"
"No, boss. Don't make fun of me," William said as he waved his hand. He would definitely stay away from Emily.
"You can dispose of it as you like," said Jonas. William took the watch box away, thinking that if there was someone's birthday among his friends in the near future, he did not need to prepare one. Since returning from the business trip, Jonas always looked lack of strength, as if he had endless thoughts. But only William knew that the boss was thinking about how to pursue his wife.
Or to be more specific, to get back his ex-wife.
Sometimes he really felt that his boss was masochistic.
Jonas would leave at the first time after work, regardless of whether there were important documents or not.
The nature of Melinda's work made her work overtime a big routine. Most of the time, she didn't leave the company until eight or nine o'clock. Today, she was just about to finish the article she wrote about the orphanage. By the time she got off work, it was already nine o'clock.
When Melinda walked out of the company, she could only sigh in her heart. Luckily, her license plate number wasn't confined today.
Jonas's car was hiding in a dark corner. When he saw Melinda, he would always smile gently.
Melinda drove carefully. Jonas followed her in a short distance, as if protecting her. He didn't leave until Melinda went back home and the light in her bedroom went out.
Leaving the tracker in Jonas's suit, Emily didn't expect that Jonas would peep at Melinda and escorted her home after work.
The situation had been the same for the last three days. Emily was sure that it was not a spur of the moment. And every time when Jonas did it, Emily got so angry that she smashed everything in her bedroom Emily changed to casual clothes and borrowed a low-key car from someone. Then she followed Jonas to Melinda's company.
Today, Melinda's car was limited. She usually took a bus back at this time. The subway station was a little far from the company.
After work, Melinda looked around casually while looking for the bus's shift information on her mobile phone. These days, she felt that she was followed by someone.
Although he deliberately hid himself in the darkness, Melinda still noticed it.
Thinking of this, Melinda walked to the window and looked down. She found that there was a bright black car under the tree beside the company. It was a low-key car, and it seemed to be a little scarlet in the darkness.
It must be Jonas. He must be smoking.
"Mel, aren't you leaving?" The colleague packed up and saw Melinda standing by the window. She couldn't help but greet her.
"I'm leaving now. By the way, can I borrow company's car? My car is confined today."
Melinda was about to take a bus, but since she had changed her mind, her colleague didn't mind. "Race has the key. You can go to register and take the key directly."
Race was in charge of the chores. It was the time for him to get off work, but the cabinet with the car keys was never locked. In order to make sure that when the department needed car, they didn't have to search for him everywhere.
He had a separate office. The office was actually a storage room. Piles of things were piled up inside. According to the procedure, Melinda checked in and opened the closet and saw the key.
She was the only one left in the office. After closing the windows and lights, she took the elevator to the parking lot. The large commercial vehicles which were arranged in a line were very conspicuous. It was the first time that Melinda had driven this type of car. She was a little nervous. The speed was as slow as a snail. She made a circle around the company and passed by Jonas's car, only to find that there was a white car behind this car.
The car lights were all turned off. Melinda didn't pay much attention to it. She took out her phone and posted a message in the wechat moments. She found a photo that was taken a long time ago from the album.
"It's been a long time since I got off work at an early time. I'm satisfied with today's work." The photo was a cake she made not long ago. She didn't share it because she didn't make it well.
Sitting in the car, Jonas stared at the floor where Melinda worked with a frown. The lights were all turned off, but she didn't go downstairs until now. At this time, his mobile phone showed a star sign. Looking at Melinda's wechat moments, Jonas was a little upset to find that she had been off work for a long time today.
The car, which had been parked downstairs for a long time, started slowly, and the white car was started in an instant. Feeling strange for a moment, Melinda waited until the car left in the direction of Jonas. Someone was following Jonas?
Suddenly, Melinda thought of lots of stories. It was said that rich people were easy to get in trouble. Did this mean that Jonas was in trouble?
Melinda chose to ignore her worries and keep telling herself, 'If something happens to Jonas, grandpa and Aunt Yao will be very sad.'
Without thinking, Melinda started the car and followed the car. At this time, she felt very lucky that she had borrowed a company's car. If she walked on foot, she would be likely to be left behind. Melinda was so concentrated that she was about to catch up with the car in front of her. Finally, they reached a traffic light intersection and were neck and neck with the car.
When she saw the person on the driver's seat, she frowned. It was Emily.
As long as it was involved with Emily, nothing good would happen. This was the most basic belief in Melinda's heart. Afraid that she would be discovered, Melinda closed the window in a hurry. Since it was Emily, she wouldn't do anything bad to Jonas, right? Melinda guessed and followed the two of them cautiously. It was not until she saw that Emily wasn't following Jonas at an intersection that she heaved a sigh of relief.
After driving a long way back home, Melinda thought of what happened today and could not help sending a message to remind Jonas of it.
"How do you know that?" Jonas didn't pay attention to the thing that he was stalked. Watching the message from Jonas, Melinda felt like she had lifted a rock to hit herself on the foot.
'What? Do you want me to say that I followed you?'
All of a sudden, Melinda trembled with fear, then she said in a radical tone, "Because I know that you are following me recently. Naturally, I notice that there is a car behind you."
Melinda thought this excuse was perfect, and smoothly pushed the tracking problem to Jonas, who did not realize that his behavior had been known by Melinda.
It was a little embarrassing for him to admit that he had stalked her, so he naturally didn't know how to reply.
"I'm worried about your safety."
Being thick skinned, Jonas said these words naturally. It was easy for him to win again, so Melinda didn't reply to the message.
Her words, however, drew enough attention of Jonas. He always hid his whereabouts very secretly, but there were countless coincidences of him and Emily, at this time, he could not help but wonder. "William, check if there's anyone following me or looking for me lately." Since Jonas grew up in this circle, he knew how to deal with problems. So he asked William to do his job quickly.
But he got nothing in the end. The detective they found had ruined the task while Emily was in trouble before.
"Mr. Jonas, are you stalked? Do we need to send some bodyguards to protect you secretly?" William was more nervous than Jonas. His boss had many enemies in the business world. If something happened to him, he would directly go to the Gu family with the gun and commit suicide.
