Chapter 136 Bored Stiff
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 sessfully 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 med you for what happenedst time. I should have trusted you. Would you
like toe to the vi 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 exnation, or I won''t ept 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. Ie 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 exin her current situation to Jacob. By doing this,
she just wanted to tell him how lonely she was now.
Jacob asked in a t 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 be 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 rtionship. He was tired of the game of run and chase.
Now, he finally had the courage to stop the rtionship. It made him feel rxed.
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 ovee sadness and stay focused while thinking.
Jacob knew that he needed to lose something before he could gain more. In one''s life, there would be
some special people and some affairs. Once you meet them, you can never abandon them. They were
too beautiful too be abandoned once acquired. Jacob thought as he squinted.
The voice of Cindy came from outside, "Mr. Jacob, the matters of Director Shi has been arranged. You
have transferred 20% of your shares to Director Shi. Now you still have 35% shares, and you are still
the biggest shareholder of thepany. "
Jacob opened his eyes. The first time he heard of this name, he thought Cindy was a beauty. He didn''t
know whether the stuff of human resources department of thepany had the simr misconception.
In a word, judged only from the appearance, Cindy couldn''t be regarded as a beauty.
She was a thin and dark girl. There were little ck freckles on her face, which looked quite ugly.

But there was one thing that made Jacob feelfortable. Cindy always knew what he was thinking.
Even on the first days after she had just became his assistant, Jacob also felt as if they were old
friends.
Cindy was the ideal assistant in Jacob''s mind. She was mature, knowledgeable and reversed. Her face
might be a pity for others, but it was also perfect for Jacob. In this way, less trouble would be made.
More importantly, there won''t be misunderstandings between Sara and him.
Jacob looked up at Cindy and said, "Well done. Thank you. I''ll go to meet Alice this weekend, you can
go with me. "
Jacob brought Cindy with him for fear that he might be unable to see through Alice. After all, he was
not good at dealing with women. And only woman knew what another woman was thinking in her mind.
"Okay, Mr. Jacob. I''m going to work now. Call me if you need anything." Then Cindy walked out of the
office respectfully and closed the door from outside.
Jacob sat in the chair and pinched his nose. The wound on his shoulder was still aching. He would
remember the ident forever. If someone wanted to hurt him, or even kill him, he would only fight
back more fiercely.
Let''s see who would be the final winner.
Sara was happily preparing to meet Bess and Noah''s family with Bess. Although she didn''t think it was
that appropriate, it made her feel happy to have the chance to witness the happiness of her good
friend.
Bess was immersed in the happiness of her passionate love all day long, feeling that it was the luckiest
thing in her life to meet Noah. It was not easy for her to reach this step. Although Bess thought it was a
bit too fast, she couldn''t wait to get married after they reached an agreement. She had never wanted to
get married like this before.
If she must get married, she would marry with a person who could give her happy life. Noah was the
man who could give her happy life.
Bess was going to buy some clothes especially for the meeting. Although the room was full of her
clothes, she still felt that she had no clothes to wear.
Before she met Noah, Bess felt that most of the marriages in the world was unfortunate, and she was
even afraid of getting married. Except for their parents, few people could have happy life after their
marriage. After all, it was very normal for couples to get divorced.
Bess was used to see couples torturing each other in marriage. Sara and Jacob was a typical example.
She thought to herself that if her husband was the same as Jacob, she would rather stay single all her
life.
In a good marriage, men and women could cure each other to make a perfective aspect. This
perfective aspect could aplish great cause. If Bess was sick, then Noah would be the only
medicine to cure her.
Noah had also been searching all his life for a suitable person. Or a person of necessity. But it was not
until he met Bess that he realized that his life was destined.
They were destined to form a family together. Noah also hoped that when he met Bess''s parents, he
could receive their sincere blessings. After all, marriage was an affair rting to both family. At present,
only with parents'' blessing could one get true love.
