Chapter 324 Overwhelmed With Emotion


    Eventually, the story of a group of people would be about the story of two people. That much was


    certain. People were used to living with one another.


    After lunch, Jacob sat on the chair. He gazed at Sara affectionately. "I haven''t been here for so many


    days. Were you scared I might have run off with another woman?"


    With a snort, Sara leaned back with her legs crossed. "Who could you possibly run away with? If that


    happens, don''t bothering back."


    Jacob felt embarrassed. He leaned against the table and propped himself up with his elbow. "I''m just


    kidding. Why, it looks like my wife is bing more arrogant!"


    Sara stood up and gave him a cold re. "Who is your wife?"


    Then, Sara left the table. Jacob stared after her in disbelief, his face darkening.


    Sara had changed so quickly. It took Jacob a while to realize it, but she was no longer the woman that


    she was when they first met.


    s, he had no choice. He only wanted her. He couldn''t do anything but ept her for who she was.


    He loved and hated her at the same time.


    After lunch, both Sara and Jacob headed back to thepany. They were no longer in the honeymoon


    stage, so they didn''t need to be together all the time. However, they knew that if one of them needed


    the other, then the other woulde running to be by their side.


    Sara enjoyed this feeling very much. She was free to do as she pleased, and she knew that he loved


    her deeply.


    When Jacob got back to thepany, he found that it was very quiet. Perhaps he was overthinking it,


    but he had just solved a major issue. It was natural that he would still be on his guard.


    Cindy and James were not at thepany. He found that there were very few people he could trust.

    Jacob knew very well that he would never be friends with many people at work.


    Over the past few years, he had to make quite a few enemies to secure his spot at thepany.


    However, Jacob believed in quality over quantity. He preferred to keep his circle small and ensure that


    it was filled with people he could trust.


    Jacob silently passed by the office area, and everyone held their breath. It was pathetic. People were


    acting like they were invisible.


    Jacob stopped walking and nced at the people around him. No one spoke. All the employees


    lowered their heads and went about their business. ''They just appear like they are working hard.'' Jacob


    thought about this in his head sadly.


    Then, he quickly walked back to the office. A long silence ensued as the staff watched him go.


    Suddenly, someone spoke up.


    "What happened to Mr. Jacob just now? He looked so scary."


    "I don''t know. I always feel that something major is about to happen."


    "Yes, yes. Is it possible that..."


    "I''m going to stop you right there. Stop jumping to conclusions. How are we to know what''s going on in


    his mind?"


    Back in his office, Jacob finally put the thing he had been dreading on his agenda. He was bound to


    earn the ire of more people by doing it, but it had to be done. Jacob hesitated and drew some lines on


    the list. It was difficult to be a good person.


    Frustrated, he threw the list to the side. He took a sip from his teacup, only to find that it was empty.


    Jacob sighed. He was useless without Cindy.


    Jacob got up and went out to get some water. From a distance, he could hear that the staff was having


    a heated discussion. He went closer to hear them better. Someone coughed a few times.


    Suddenly, the staff members whirled around and saw Jacob standing behind them. Their faces turned


    pink with embarrassment.


    "Mr... Mr. Jacob, have you been standing there long?"


    "Mr. Jacob..."


    The staff members who had been speaking suddenly felt their legs turn into jelly. They had heard all


    about Jacob''s infamous temper, and they dreaded being at the receiving end of it. However, they never


    really had the chance to talk to him. Everything they knew about him came from rumors floating around


    thepany.


    Jacob coughed. "What are you talking about? Tell me, maybe I can help."


    The staff stared at him in disbelief. They didn''t believe that Mr. Jacob would be so kind. ''Help us? We


    would be fortunate not to get scolded by him.''


    "Please, keep talking. Weren''t you very energetic just now? I think you are good at gossiping, but you


    don''t work hard every day."


    Jacob raised his voice. He looked down at the teacup in his hand and sighed.


    "Mr. Jacob, we were wrong..." Kate said, her voice trembling.


    Jacob snorted. "Thepany is no ce for idle people. Of course, I''m not saying that you shouldn''t


    speak. What should you do now? I hope you know what I''m trying to say."


    "Yes..." Everyone''s faces were ashen, and they were terrified that Jacob might do something rash.


    It was like a schoolboy getting caught in the act of cheating by his teacher. No one dared say a word.


    Jacob nced at the crowd. It was a warning to others.


    "Well, that''s it. I hope you won''t gossip at work next time."


    With those words, Jacob walked towards the nearby water dispenser. Everyone stayed frozen in ce.


    They watched him as he coolly got his water and walked away.


    He didn''t always scold the staff, but what he said was difficult for them to bear.


    Jacob went back into his office, clutching his teacup in one hand.


    There was a long silence in the staff area. No one dared to speak again, for fear that Jacob would


    reappear.


    It seemed that for the rest of the day, everyone would be on their toes.


    Jacob sat in his office and sipped his tea leisurely. For a moment, he felt peaceful. However, there were


    more problems to consider. With a groan, Jacob picked up the list he had thrown earlier.


    He crossed out more names and began reading some documents he hadn''t gotten around to checking


    yet.


    It was easy to cross out names on a paper, but it would be difficult to execute it in real life. Jacob


    narrowed his eyes slightly.


    It was not until night had fallen that Jacob looked out of the window. He had lost track of time. Cindy


    was usually the one who would keep him posted about the time.


    During his earlier days, Jacob would often workte into the night. He barely ate or slept because he


    wanted to familiarize himself with how thepany worked.


    He was amazed he could work that hard back then. He still enjoyed his work. If he didn''t he would have


    left thepany a long time ago.


    He also wanted to bring thepany to new heights and help it seed to the best of his abilities.


    Jacob stood up and walked around.


    Perhaps the current state of thepany had not changed much since he took over. He reminisced


    about his earlier days at thepany. Back then, he had made very few enemies.


    Jacob went out of his office. The staff area was dark, and everyone had gone home for the day. After


    taking over thepany and getting it back on the right track, Jacob abolished the system of overtime.


    However, his kindness fostered greediness. There were those who had grown greedy because of how


    Jacob treated them.


    The longer a greedy person stayed with him, the more dangerous they would be.


    Jacob walked past the staff area and went downstairs. He got into his car without so much as a nce


    backwards.


    He took out his phone and called Sara, but she was still working. ''She has been very tired recently, '' he


    thought to himself.


    Jacob drove his car to Sara''spany, and he waited for her by the entrance. He suddenly craved a


    smoke. It had be sort of a reprieve for him. Whenever he was tired or sleepy, smoking seemed to


    comfort him and perk him up.
