Chapter 278 A Gift

When they came back, the happiest person was not Nelson or Queena, but was Ted. He looked at Jonas with an aggrieved face and said in a voice like a dissatisfied housewife that he was finally back.

The moment Melinda saw Ted, she suddenly felt that what he said on the phone was not a big deal. They played not long ago, but Ted was clearly emaciated.

Jonas was also surprised. After all, Jonas was the one who promoted Ted and he knew Ted was capable. But there was only one reason to make Ted look like this: Ted didn't really believe in his abilities.

Ted had always regarded Jonas as his idol and had been learning from him. He deeply felt that he did not have the ability as Jonas, so it was inevitable for him to think more carefully when doing things.

His work efficiency was nothing comparable to that of himself when Jonas was here.

"There are still a lot of chances for you in the future. Soon you can successfully lose weight," said Jonas smilingly, as he patted on Ted's shoulder kindly.

Hearing this, Ted' face turned dark. Seeing this, Melinda couldn't help smiling. But there was no sign of joking on Jonas's face.

He also realized that he was too busy and had little time to accompany Melinda, so he felt it necessary for him to have such a trip.

Ted arranged a driver to send Melinda back to the Gu's mansion, while Jonas was taken by him to deal with the business in the company.

Nelson saw Melinda go back home and directly asked her why she didn't play for more time, but he was gratified to see she became better.

"I have been asking for leave these days. It's time to go back to work,"

Melinda consoled Nelson. She counted the time she had been working recently and assumed that it might be someone else's rest time.

Nelson had no objection to her career. He nodded in agreement. "It's not good to keep this going."

Taking a look at Melinda, Nelson touched her and flinched back the words that he was about to encourage Melinda to start her own business.

Since she hadn't been to work for a long time, Melinda felt herself a little lazy. The next morning, it was Jonas who woke her up. She rubbed her eyes, and just wanted to go back to her comfortable bed.

"You'd better stay at home and take care of yourself. I can make money to support our family." Jonas pinched her nose, while Melinda lazily opened one eye and squinted at him.

After a long struggle in mind, Melinda finally got up and lay in bed. After having breakfast in a hurry, she asked Jonas to drive her to the company.

"Mr. Cheng, good morning!" It was only after Melinda clocked in that she entered the company and saw Victor standing in front of her. In the past, she would have avoided him if she wanted to avoid arousing suspicion. But today, she greeted him with a splendid smile.

Melinda's smile dazzled Victor. He thought that he might have mistaken. He looked around and saw a lot of colleagues, and many of them were looking at the two of them.

"Melinda."

Victor was still s

re piles of unread emails in her mailbox, so she didn't want to waste her time on this meaningless thing.

"Yes." There was a trace of embarrassment on the face of Jonas. He wanted to say that he missed her a little bit, but he didn't say it out. Hearing that there was nothing important, Melinda told him she was very busy and hung up the phone.

Melinda worked overtime today to deal with everything, except for the draft she owed during her leave.

After work, she met Victor again in the elevator, and Melinda still greeted him first.

"Why did you work overtime alone?" Victor asked. He felt sorry for Melinda. He knew that she had gone through a lot, but he never wanted to make it clear.

Melinda had her pride. The more brilliant her smile was in front of people, the more pain she had at the back.

"I have a lot of things to do," Melinda said casually. She didn't seem to be bothered by anything. However, her tiredness could not be hidden from her eyes. Noticing that, Victor only said that she had time to deal with the company's affairs slowly.

Jonas was waiting for Melinda downstairs. Seeing that they went downstairs together, he cast a warning glance at Victor.

"Mr. Cheng, goodbye."

Melinda waved her hand politely to bid farewell. Then she walked up to Jonas and took his hand in hers, heading to the car.

"Let's go back. I'm starving to death," Melinda whispered. But when Jonas heard it, his indifference suddenly disappeared and turned to be gentle.

"I have brought you something to eat. You can have some before we get home." The food that Jonas bought for Melinda was her favorite. She couldn't help smiling at the sight of it.

The smile was as innocent as a child's.

"Jon, I think you should call me less in the future when I am working." Looking at the perfect side face of Jonas, Melinda said hesitatingly.

This day, she had received several calls from Jonas, and the working state had been disturbed. It was inevitable that Melinda was a little upset.
