Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 415 A Starting Point

People who treat you well might not really mean it, but those who have ill intentions probably would have done it on purpose. This was how Jacob would be able to quickly rule out more than half of the people in front of him.

His face showed no trace of emotion as his eyes scanned the room, watching the employees turn their backs and walk out of the room one by one until it was only him and Sara that was left.

Her lips curled up into a small smile. Jacob knew that she was exhausted, judging from the dark circles that started to form below her eyes. It wasn't easy to run the company all by herself after all.

It was a good thing that Jacob appeared. Because of this, she was able to fight alongside him.

However, this was also the last thing that Sara wanted to see. Her experience working in this industry made her aware of how hard it was for Jacob, so she didn't want him to suffer with her.

Every industry was the same though, and this fact made her calm down a lot.

"How do you feel?" she asked. She gently glanced over to her husband and observed his reaction with curiosity.

His eyes were filled with the same tenderness as he met her own. The man simply adored his wife.

"Honey, you really had it rough here, didn't you? I know that this is how it's normally like working in a company, but I just can't stand watching you trying to survive under this kind of situation. I promise you that we'll face all these problems together from now on," he said.

There wasn't enough emotion to describe how he felt as he stared at the woman in front of him. It was only him who knew how much he felt heartbroken for her.

"Okay." Tears started to form in her eyes as she nodded slowly.

Jacob reached out his hand and gently touched her cheek, thinking of how adorable his wife looked.

"What? Are you already used to this feeling?" Sara grinned. The infectious smile on her face was all that Jacob needed to see to know that she loved him very much.

"I'm not a stranger to this kind of feeling which is why I don't want to see you suffering from it. As long as we live in this world, we'll be encountering a lot of difficulties. This isn't something that someone can simply change," he answered softly.

A few seconds of silence had gone by before he opened his mouth again and continued, "Since we are in this world, we have to find somewhere that belongs to us so that we can achieve what we want in the future."

He smiled and gently caressed Sara's cheek once again.

"I really didn't understand why a man should bear a lot. Now, I know that as a man, the most important thing is whether or not he is responsible enough."

His wife looked at him tenderly. The meeting was what she had originally expected, but what surprised her was that Jacob was able to communicate with her easily.

She hadn't felt like this in such a long time. There he was, standing alongside her. Someone who was the complete opposite but at the same time shared the same thoughts as her. It felt like two people from different planets who could speak the same language.

After a while, Jacob finally stood up and brushed his suit off from some imaginary dust with his hand.

Sara only blinked and stared at him. It was as if everything had returned to normal.

"Honey- Apologies. Miss Sara, please tour me around the office and tell me about the current situation of the company," he said in a business-like tone.

His eyes, however, were like that of a spoiled child as he affectionately stared back at his wife.

"Okay, then. Please come with me. Due to the improper management of the company in the past, we have acquired a lot of problems at present. I'm sure that you will discover what these are soon enough. Unfortunately, these problems are quite difficult to deal with, so we still need to take care of them slowly."

As they walked out of the meeting room, Sara carefully introduced the current situation of the company to Jacob. She knew that this was probably the best course of action for the company.

Unexpectedly, the person who had caused the problem was the one who would be able to solve it.

The company was on the verge of shutting down because of Jacob. Now, it would be brought back to life because of him. Life is really unpredictable. You'll never really know what could happen next.

Jacob's arrival might just be the answer the company needed. Surely, his presence would make a great impact. Sara knew this which is why she couldn't help but be excited as her eyes lit up while she gave her husband a basic run-through of the situation.

The man was aware that the company wasn't big. He noticed that the vice CEO's office was a little bit cramped.

Compared to the one he previously had in Shi Group, the room before him was very small.

Despite this, it was still well equipped. Jacob noticed that all the necessary office tools and materials were present inside. His eyes scanned the surroundings intently. Observing the new room suddenly gave him some new ideas.

This was, without a doubt, the real starting point for him. He didn't care no matter how small the company was.

At least, he could watch it grow bigger and more successful step by step. This was the first time he had truly felt challenged and it felt good. In the past, it was as if everything was laid out for him easily. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

It had been too easy for him to be able to stand on a high position. He never really knew the hardships one had to face when starting a company. Jacob admitted that he lacked some initial efforts. Because of this, the feeling of having a sense of achievement never came to him.

It was his father who had poured his blood, sweat and tears from the very beginning. As his son, he only enjoyed the fruit of his labor. His life was like a fairy tale. It felt so luxurious and unreal.

Although he had never longed for such a life, the reality was something he worried about more.

He clearly knew that if it weren't for the 4 or 5 years of training, he wouldn't be able to see things in this point of view today.

Everything happens for a reason. Someone must always undergo hard obstacles in life in order for them to grow.

The room was quiet as he silently sat on the chair without showing any hint of emotion. The office might be narrow, but it felt undeniably warm.

Looking at his desk, he remembered that it used to be Sara's. Now, he realized why he felt inexplicably warm as he imagined the room to be her small nest once.

A faint smile appeared on his lips as he pictured his wife while resting on the table. He wondered how cute, nifty and lovable she must have looked. The simple thought of this made him happy and feel like he was living an ordinary life.

As Jacob continued to daydream, there was a sudden knock on his office.

He immediately snapped out of his thoughts and glanced towards the door. He recognized that knock anywhere.

"Come in," he said. The door opened to reveal Cindy who was carrying a large pile of documents.

Although the stack of papers seemed to be heavy, she had managed to walk over to his desk and placed them on the table with ease. Afterwards, she wiped some beads of sweat from her forehead and said, "Mr. Jacob, these are the company's past information. In order to better understand the company's current situation, you can check them out properly."

Jacob smiled and ignored the documents on the table. He looked at Cindy and said, "Thank you, Cindy. Put them aside first."

After a pause, he continued, "How do you feel about working in this company?"

His assistant glanced hesitantly before answering, "Everything seems to be the same. However, we are now in someone else's territory. Therefore, you should better pay more attention to it in the future, sir."

He narrowed his eyes and suddenly turned serious. How could he not know what Cindy meant? Although this was his inner thought, the reality was still different from what he had imagined.

The smaller the place was, the more unreasonable it was. It was the same everywhere. There will always be people who thought that they controlled a lot of things in the company.

"I know, Cindy. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me. Think of me as your family. No matter what happens, I'm on your side." He smiled.

Jacob had formed a deep friendship with the woman.

Regardless of gender, Cindy was his good friend. She was a real good friend that couldn't easily be replaced. Although personal interests had been involved, Jacob still believed that there was true

friendship despite those.

"Okay, Mr. Jacob. We have to work hard in the future. Even if someone looks down on us, we have to be cold to them. I believe you are capable," she encouraged back.

After saying those words, she silently bowed at him with a small smile on her lips before walking out alone.
