Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 136

Alice made an inspection tour around the jewelry store. She was very attentive on her business, and the shop was finally running normally.

Sure enough, where there is a will, there is a way. As a girl who was situated in business field since an early age, Alice knew how to run business even if she had no experience. As soon as she took over the jewelry store, she successfully ran the business on the right track. If time could travel backward, maybe she would be interested in learning business as her major.

Hearing the familiar ringtone, Alice took the phone from the table listlessly, wondering who was calling. The moment she saw the caller ID, she couldn't suppress her ecstasy. It was Jacob!

After clearing her throat, she calmly pressed the answer key. "Hello, Jacob."

"Alice, I shouldn't have blamed you for what happened last time. I should have trusted you. Would you like to come to the villa this weekend and we could have a talk. I also have someone to introduce to you. " Jacob apologized.

Hearing this, Alice felt a mixture of anxious, happy and expectant. She pretended to be calm, "Okay, I need your reasonable explanation, or I won't accept your apology."

"How are you doing recently? Is there any fresh news?" Jacob suddenly changed the topic. His intonation was quite natural, as if he was asking things like "have you had your meal", or "I've just had a shower".

"Well, I'm living in my previous apartment. I come to the jewelry store in the Times Square every day because I feel bored. Some of my friends like to go to pubs or karaoke. You know, I don't like that at all. " Alice tried her best to show her high taste and explain her current situation to Jacob. By doing this, she just wanted to tell him how lonely she was now.

Jacob asked in a flat tone, "Oh, really? How is the jewelry store?"

Jacob was a smart man. He knew that Alice would have some research on the dealer in order to get more useful information. Through her, Jacob could easily get the information he needed.

Once a man became shrewd, he might even scare himself. Jacob smiled, as if he was sure to win.

"Well, not bad till now. I'm on the right track now. I already known something about jewelry industry. I used to hate doing business, but now I find it interesting." Alice didn't lie. She used to having no interest in doing business. She just felt that the businessmen were quite powerful. She didn't expect that she could become a very powerful person now.

"Well, let's talk about it when we meet. I have a meeting to attend." The smile at the corners of Jacob's mouth deepened. For the first time, he felt that he could face all these so calmly.

"Bye. Go ahead with your work, See you this weekend. " The corners of Alice's mouth were as sweet as honey, and she had already been happy, but now it was the time to show it.

"Bye." After saying that, Jacob hung up the phone.

Jacob's face darkened. He didn't expect that he would end up like this. After all, they used to love each other. Now he could face up to this relationship. He was tired of the game of run and chase.

Now, he finally had the courage to stop the relationship. It made him feel relaxed.

Jacob took out a cigarette. He seldom smoked in the office. He had to walk alone in the future. Thinking of this, Jacob lit the cigarette and took a deep drag.

When Jacob smoked for the first time, he didn't know how to absorb the smoke into the lung. Jacob coughed a lot before he learnt that. Now, after countless years of training, he could finally puffing on the cigarette.

But it wasn't something to be proud of. At least he knew that Sara didn't like him smoking from the bottom of her heart. But it was difficult to quit smoking. After all, it had been a habit kept for many years and smoking helped him to overcome sadness and stay focused while thinking.
