After Melinda got back home, the scene that Victor had said to her kept flashing through her mind. He was reasonable, but it was really difficult for her to do that.
Even if she had been forcing herself to ignore Jonas, she had compromised so many times, just as Victor had said, and being entangled.
There were still too many connections between the two of them. Melinda was not a heartless person who could give up completely.
And if Nelson knew, he wouldn't let her do it. Nelson was very loyal to relationships.
Melinda was upset.
At the same time, when Emily received the photo sent by a private detective, Emily was also vexed. The feelings of Jonas for Melinda were far beyond her understanding.
The same as Melinda, she thought that Jonas was just unwilling, but once again insisted, was it really that simple?
All of this was because of love. Emily already thought of the ridiculous answer in her mind.
But that was the truth.
"Shall we continue watching them?" The voice of the detective came through the phone, which made Emily come back to her senses. She gritted her teeth and said, "Of course. Is he still in the hotel?"
"It seems that he's going back to the Gu's mansion." In the starlight, a low-key black car followed behind the ostentatious sports car of Jonas. Seeing his driving route, they guessed that he might be on the way home.
"Tell me when he is out," Emily exhorted. Now she couldn't enter the Gu's mansion freely. But the surveillance on Jonas wouldn't stop because of this. In important moments, Yulia would send her a lot of messages.
The detective ended the call without another word. He focused his gaze on Jonas's car and didn't say anything else. The car that had been speeding suddenly slowed down and stopped, which caught him by surprise. The first thing he thought of was that he might expose himself.
But Jonas didn't make any next move. The detective licked his lips, and finally drove slowly and passed Jonas's car. When the two cars were side by side, he saw that Jonas rolled down the window of his car, and a scarlet light appeared in the night.
Jonas was very upset and didn't know how to vent it, as the Gu's mansion only brought him depression.
He became more addicted to smoking after Melinda left.
It was not until the last cigarette in the box finished that he closed the window. It was cold outside and his fingers were a little stiff.
The next day, Jonas showed up at the downstairs of Melinda's company. Emily had been informed by the detectives and arrived at the company almost immediately.
Those who were eager to accost Jonas were suspicious when they saw a beautiful and a little familiar woman, standing next to Jonas.
"Here you are." Emily wore a miniskirt today, and her long, round, and slender legs were covered with long boots, light pink matching, which made her a pretty young girl.
The clothes that Jonas wore were the couple's clothes that had been bought by Melinda before. The thin cl
't know how to open his mouth after a long pause.
But sometimes, expression in eyes could be expressed. Emily could feel a touch of drive from Jonas's eyes, but she was an actress, so she was born to act.
She chose to turn a blind eye to it.
"Why are you here? Anything on your mind?" Emily did not drink as frequently as Jonas did. She changed the topic when she stopped, but it was a test.
"You furrow your eyebrows into an old man and your face is so gloomy that even the young men around you are scared. If you have anything annoyed, you can tell me."
Emily tried to talk to Jonas as a friend and said in a relaxed tone. Even if Jonas didn't answer, she didn't stop.
"Don't meddle in my business. It has nothing to do with you."
Jonas ignored Emily for a long while, and he said indifferently in the end. Emily sat still with a pale face in the dim light.
"Got it," Emily said bitterly, pouring the cup in her hand into a full glass in an instant. She used to accompany Jonas, but now she was drinking fast.
People around them couldn't help looking at them. The two people who had not spoken were drinking all the time. The woman looked very sad, but the upper half of her face was covered by her hair, and nobody knew if she was crying.
The man was so intimidating that people around him couldn't help shivering. Those who had wanted to come out to save the beauty all shrank back at this time.
These wine had a high alcohol content. After a while, Emily's drunk eyes became blurred, and tears also fell down.
Her throat was burnt, and her sobbing voice was hoarse, making people feel sorry for her.
Emily muttered with her mouth open and closed. Jonas was totally uninterested in it. But suddenly there was a weight on his shoulder. Then, Emily leaned over.
Jonas, who had been calm all the time, suddenly moved. He stood up from his seat and Emily fell awkwardly on the sofa. The disgust in his eyes was obvious.
He ignored Emily and left the bar alone.
