Chapter 182 Nowhere To Be Found
In Soaring Group, at the CEO office, the atmosphere was too tense to make people breathe. The secretaries were busy with their own affairs, and if there was any file that needed to be signed by Jonas, they would throw it to William.
William was both the Secretary General and the private secretary of Jonas. But in the eyes of the people in the CEO office, he was a good man.
William stepped in front of them whenever there was something happened.
So at this moment, William was alone, miserably facing the anger of Jonas.
"You can't find her?"
Jonas pondered over William's words, but his words made William in a cold sweat. The boss's tone was just thinking about the efficiency of their group, whether they could be replaced.
"Yes, when we arrived at her home, she wasn't there. And when we went to her studio, the staff told us they didn't know where she is," William said, resisting the pressure. His heart was filled with tears. He had never thought that it was so difficult to find such a small character.
Finally he found her studio, but it was an empty shell. William thought Sandy's words must be shady. Since Mrs. Melinda had suffered so much, the boss wouldn't let go of that woman easily.
However, if Jonas did not want to let her go, William had to find her first. William felt that he had fallen into a terrible circle.
"One day? You just find her home and studio? Anything else?"
Jonas didn't want to hear this result. What he needed to know was all Sandy's interpersonal network, to find out the woman as soon as possible, and then to ask her about the incident this time. He was very worried about Melinda, but at this time he did not know what to do. The only thing he could think of was to find Sandy to prove that Melinda was innocent.
Melinda copied others' work? Jonas didn't buy that, but he knew it clearly that since it was of no use that he believed her alone, he had to prove Melinda's innocence with sufficient evidence. "It's all under investigation."
William felt that he couldn't hold on any longer. In the past, he could deal with everything with Nelson, but this time it was related to Melinda, and the pressure from Nelson was not small at all. But the investigation had found out all the information about Sandy, but it seemed that Sandy had vanished from the earth without any trace.
Emily wasn't going to give her only the money in the envelope. After the negotiation, Emily had asked someone to transfer some money to Sandy before Sandy left A City with the money. If she wanted to expand the impact, the only way would be not to face those media directly, but to let them to exaggerate it.
Both of them knew it well.
The information Jonas could get from his subordinates was limited. Jonas expanded the search group and took advantage of the connections in all walks of life, but still couldn't find Sandy. The Internet was flooded with negative comments in two days. The studio also announced that this matter had a great influence on Sandy, so they couldn't get in touch with her.
It was a sensational news and all the netizens were criticized for Melinda. Seeing this, Jonas felt anxious and the public relations department of Soaring Group was in a crisis.
They had to control the hot topic, but now the other side had come with full preparation and they couldn't stop it at all.
All the development of the matter was within the scope of Emily's pre-examination. On that night, Sandy, who was said to be missing by the studio, posted a message on her own Weibo. Sandy announced to the outside that she had devoted herself to her creation. But this time, her behavior had gradually lost the attention of all the people. Jonas's men searched for it according to the IP address of her Weibo and found that it was an Internet bar. Sandy was long gone.
It was a deadlock. Sandy was smart. She took escape as a game. She was like the heroine in a book, smart and brave.
She felt that she could get rid of those people soon. A few days later, those people would naturally give up. By that time, she could quietly return to A City.
But Jonas would never let Melinda suffer this. He didn't delay searching for Sandy. The searching scale was even much larger, just in order to find an unfamous writer.
Sandy was well-known in the upper class for a while, but everyone knew that she would come to no good end after offending Jonas.
Today was weekend. Melinda felt very depressed in the company these days. Even though she had asked herself not to care about these rumors, she knew that there were many rumors, and if the rumors spread, the truth was not important.
Melinda looked up at the blazing sun overhead. The blazing feeling made her eyes uncomfortable. She blinked, tears falling down her cheeks.
In a hurry, she reached out and wiped her eyes. Through her blurry eyes, she saw a familiar figure approaching.
Wearing ten centimeter high heels, Emily walked bossily to the front of Melinda. Recently, Melinda had something on her mind and didn't sleep well at night. With thick dark circles around her eyes, her face turned pale. She looked very tired.
"Wow, is this the famous writer Melinda?"
Emily crossed her arms over her chest, looking at Melinda haughtily. Emily in high heels was a little taller than Melinda, even such a small advantage made her feel happy.
Hearing the familiar voice, Melinda felt that she was unlucky. She had just taken a walk outside to go to the supermarket to buy something, she would have met the God of plague, Emily.
Thinking of her recent events, Melinda had to doubt if all these things were done by the woman in front of her.
Otherwise, she and Emily lived in the opposite parts of the city, which was so coincidental.
"Oh, you overpraised me, I'm not as famous as you, the pure superstar, Miss Bai."
Melinda's eyes were still a little red, but she grinned brilliantly at the moment. She was on high alert in front of Emily and didn't take those words seriously in her heart.
As soon as the words were finished, Emily's face suddenly turned pale. Her sharp nails were eager to directly pierce the smiling face of Melinda.
'All I have suffered is due to you, Melinda!'
"As proud as you are, you plagiarized others for fame. What's your position on me, Melinda? At least, I won those awards on my own ability."
Emily had participated in many film festivals, but she was always only nominated but not get award, and because of some unknown reasons, she had received a few not very severe awards.
"Your ability? The ability to get on some men's beds? Or the ability that you are good at seducing a married man?" Melinda frowned and looked at Emily doubtfully. The coldness in her eyes reminded Emily of another person.
At the same time, the "another person", who was driving a car, followed closely behind Melinda. When he saw the appearance of Emily, he suddenly got off the car and strode towards them as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Bitch, do you believe that I accuse you of slander?" Emily was irritated, with her eyes staring at Melinda maliciously. She just wanted to tear up that annoying smiling face. Melinda wasn't scared at all. Seeing how excited Emily was, she wanted to say that Emily had a guilty conscience. Before she spoke, she was embraced by a warm chest. Jonas's eyes turned into knives and swept to Emily, which made the woman in front of him change her expression immediately and wear a sweet face.
The sudden intimacy caught Melinda off guard. Surrounded by familiar smell, she was in a trance.
Jonas put his arms around Melinda's shoulder strongly. He was heartbroken. How could she bear so much pressure with such a fragile shoulder?
All he wanted to do was to share Melinda burden and protect her behind. Therefore, as soon as he saw Emily, he stood straight beside Melinda and told her that he was here! "Jonas." Looking at Jonas, Emily's eyes were full of enthusiasm and burning. A chill came over Melinda, but she stared at the fingers on the shoulder of Jonas with entanglement. "Are you okay?" Completely ignoring Emily, Jonas lowered his head and looked at Melinda worriedly. Seeing her haggard face, he clenched his fists in anger.
Melinda was still somewhat absent-minded. The tall figure of Jonas seemed to block the dazzling sunlight at this time, but it also made her tear stains more obvious. Immediately, Melinda felt that the hand placing on her shoulder had increased his strength.
"Ah!" Melinda couldn't help but groan. As soon as Jonas came to himself, he looked at her in both confusion and nervousness. He was just angry that he could do nothing for the sake of Melinda being wronged.
But he also hurt Melinda unintentionally, which made him very upset.
Except for indifference, a second expression appeared on Jonas's face, especially the kind of entangled look. Suddenly, Melinda felt that Jonas was very cute in this way.
"Jonas, why don't you respond me these days?" Emily, on the other hand, completely ignored the existence of Melinda, and ignored the attitude of Jonas to her. She asked as she pouted her lips. Melinda rubbed her arms, which indeed had goose bumps.
"Miss Bai."
Finally, Jonas showed his mercy to Emily. But when he called her Miss Bai out of politeness, Emily's smile froze on her face. It was a heavy slap on her face.
Seeing this, Melinda couldn't help smiling. Seeing this, Jonas felt happy secretly.
"Jonas, are you taking a walk here?"
Emily was very embarrassed about the topic, but at this time, she didn't know what to say. Her heart had already been filled with jealousy. Looking at the hand on Melinda's shoulder, she wanted to rush over to push her away, and then fell into his arms.
"Miss Bai, I hope you can stay away from my wife in the future."
Jonas called Melinda his wife. There was a smile on his face, and he was very proud of himself, but Melinda stiffened in an instant.
