Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 196

Jonas liked to see Melinda like this, which made him feel particularly funny and adorable.

He didn't care much about being pushed away by Melinda. Instead, he put the finger, which had touched her chin, near his lips. The evil and attractive look on his face had subverted Melinda's understanding of the cold man in front of her.

She even started to suspect that was this person exactly the one she knew?

But her earlobe became red and was about to drip blood as she looked at Jonas movement.

Jonas was satisfied with what he saw.

He resumed his serious manner and began to look through the contract carefully. The contract was drew up by himself. Most of the terms suggested were for the benefits of Melinda, but there were some terms that made her unhappy.

It was a matter of personal interests. But the point was Jonas could offer her such great benefits there. It depended on whether she would like to eat this honey or not.

Being a writer, Melinda expected her designs to be recognized by more people. Her colleagues also hoped that she could win the contract.

But when the investor was Jonas, she felt so strange.

"I have to discuss with the studio about the contract." The teasing expression in Jonas's eyes made Melinda tremble, so she casually found an excuse.

But it didn't matter to Jonas. He supported his head with his hands and looked at Melinda. His cold and sharp eyebrows softened at this time. His eyes were deep, as if they were obsidian, attracting people all the time.

"I remember that my first requirement of cooperation is that you have the decision-making right all the time." Even if the company would suffer losses, they still wanted to get it. After all, the result was the most important.

Jonas was a celebrity. It was hard not to make the TV play a hit.

Hearing this, Melinda was stunned. It was not until now that she had remembered about that condition. She felt somewhat embarrassed. Unconsciously, she talked about the contract with Jonas.

But within three seconds, the topic was changed.

"Mr. Jonas, if you are too busy to talk about this matter with me today, I can go back first." The corners of Melinda's mouth lifted into a smile, and the calmness in her eyes could no longer be maintained.

"It's late. Let's have a meal first and then we can continue our talk." Jonas agreed with what Melinda said, but deliberately misinterpreted her words, saying that it was late, so he took her to the staff canteen for a meal.

He made an excuse that he wanted to finish this business today, but he only had little time, so they had to talk while eating. However, when they were eating, he didn't talk about anything serious, except that he attracted a lot of onlookers.

Melinda returned to the company with unhappiness. She was depressed when others asked her about the contract. Her colleagues thought she must have encountered a problem.

After all, the business partner she negotiated with was not an ordinary person.

"Don't give yourself too much pressure. We all know that Mr. Gu is not an easy-going man, but it's okay if we talk about it slowly."

"I'm okay." Melinda shook her head. This was not the case at all. She would not be afraid if Jonas had a good talk. But his frivolous behavior really made her helpless.

If she went to tell others about it, they might think that she was dreaming about something.

However, despite her worries, Melinda still had to discuss the contract. She had already notified the company and would not work in the company as long as nothing special happened recently.

She really wanted to clone herself to do those work.

Jonas always treated the guests in the reception room, but he always took her to his own office whenever Melinda came. So Melinda was familiar with this these days.

Jonas was really busy. The big Soaring Group had a lot of industries. It dealt with a lot of things every day. When Melinda came here this time, Jonas was in a video conference.

"Wait me for a moment. There are your favorite snacks in the lounge and you can go inside to find them yourself. I won't finish it in a short time. If you are tired, you can have a rest on the bed. Your clothes are in the wardrobe."

After saying "excuse me" to the person in the video, Jonas walked up to Melinda and said to her. Melinda was about to leave, but Jonas stopped her in this way.

Without any explanation, he pushed Melinda into the lounge, and then returned to his seat.

As expected, this meeting would take some time. At the beginning, Melinda was sitting on the chair, then lying on the bed and reading a book. Unconsciously, she became sleepy.

"Make the summary of the meeting and give it to me." After the meeting, Jonas couldn't help but to rub his temples. The company was expanding overseas business and the workload was too much.

William nodded. Then he saw that boss went to the lounge without closing the video. If his memory served him right, the boss's wife was in the lounge.

Looking at Melinda who was sleeping, Jonas couldn't help smiling and had the mind to rest with her.

Jonas was always ready to take actions once he thought of it. So he changed his clothes and lay down beside Melinda carefully. She was really tired recently. She didn't notice there was another man beside her but moved her body uncomfortably.

Coincidentally, she was held in the arms by Jonas.

Smelling the familiar scent, Jonas couldn't help but bury his head in the neck of Melinda. Feeling uncomfortable, Melinda frowned and patted Jonas's head. With a grunt, she shrank into the arms of Jonas.

In an instant, Jonas felt that his whole heart was filled with happiness.

He closed his eyes with satisfaction. Melinda had a good sleep. When she woke up again, it was in the afternoon and she felt warm and comfortable.

But she didn't know why she couldn't move.

Perplexed, Melinda opened her eyes and touched Jonas's chest. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the man in front of her.

"Linda, stop," Jonas murmured as usual. Feeling anxious, Melinda pushed him away in a hurry, sitting beside the bed and thinking about what had happened.

Jonas woke up too. Seeing that Melinda was sitting there in a daze, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Melinda was annoyed. How could she fall asleep like this? She then quickly got up and went to the office as if nothing had happened.

William hadn't left yet. When their eyes met, Melinda was embarrassed and didn't know what to do. At this moment, Jonas walked out while buttoning up his shirt.

The ambiguous scene of them shocked William. He opened his eyes wide and then left quickly.

This episode made Melinda unable to calm down and have a good talk about the contract. She had been absent-minded all the time. Jonas had thought that she would say something, but he did not expect her to be so calm.

There was a knock on the door. Jonas said to the door in a low voice, "Come in."

Almost everyone who was familiar with Jonas knew that he was in a bad mood at this time.

The secretary came in with several contracts in her hands. She was dressed in a white business suit, with a delicate make-up and a delicate hairstyle.

"Sir, these documents need your signature." As soon as the secretary spoke, Melinda couldn't help but rub her arm. Her voice was really, really soft.

"Come here."

Jonas looked at Melinda and said to the secretary in a soft voice. The secretary was surprised to see the pleasant smile on his face. They usually saw the cold expression on his face. She hadn't seen him smile for so long since she worked here.

Being excited, the secretary came to the side of Jonas and looked closely at his handsome face, which made her blush and her heart beat faster.

"Sir," the secretary said in a soft voice, with her whole body almost leaning on Jonas. Standing aside and looking at it indifferently, Melinda had a feeling of discomfort in her heart.

"Where do I need to sign?" Jonas said. Meanwhile, his secretary opened several documents and pointed at the place where he needed to sign. Then she showed her cleavage quickly.

Melinda's eyelids twitched. The secretary noticed that there was another person in the office. She looked at Melinda unhappily, and then she ingratiated herself with Jonas. "Mr. Jonas, don't you have to look through the papers?"

"No, I believe you." The secretary was even more excited. After preparing for a long time, she finally got the chance.

The secretary had been flattering Jonas. Standing aside, Melinda didn't say anything, but her face darkened.

After Jonas signed several documents while Melinda was in torture, the secretary left. But thinking of her purpose, she held her head high.

After the secretary left, Melinda couldn't help but ask, "Is that how you lead your company? !"

Frivolous, profligate, these words suddenly rushed into Melinda's mind, and all of them were describing the person who looked at her playfully.

"What?" Jonas prolonged his voice and stood up from his seat. As he approached, Melinda felt her heart beat faster.

She felt her heart was going to jump out of her chest.

Her pupils dilated a lot. Jonas reached out and pinched her chin, his tone frivolous and serious. "I was not like this before. If you want me to change, then come back."

His words sounded like he was blaming her for making him a jerk and it was all because of the fact that Melinda had left. Melinda was forced to look into his eyes which were with strong feelings that she dared not look into his eyes.

But then she realized that she didn't do anything wrong and she should not feel guilty. Melinda goggled her eyes and looked at Jonas. It seemed to make her feel that she didn't lose.

The finger pulp, which was a little rough, pinched her chin. His breath went into her nose continuously, making Melinda want to cry.
