Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 163

"Mr. Cheng, is it funny?" Seeing that Victor was still grinning cheekily, Melinda was angry. He had no idea that he was the one to blame for what had happened.

Melinda's serious expression confused Victor. He poured water for her and seemed very pleased.

"This question is very serious. It's not funny at all. I came here today to talk about it. I have read the draft. It is not that bad. And it might be because the colleagues have higher requirement on you, right? You happen to have a gap in this period. Next time you improve it, it will be better. I believe in you."

Victor analyzed carefully, but found that instead of getting serious as usual, Melinda was mocking him, as if she had heard some kind of joke.

The smile at the corner of her mouth looked frightening.

A beauty who had always been graceful and sensible would become very powerful when she mocked someone. It was until this moment that Victor finally felt it.

"Higher requirement? Are they entitled to question me?" Melinda said in a sarcastic tone, and those vicious words were still lingering in her ears.

Victor became more cautious when she spoke like this.

"Melinda, we are so familiar with each other. What do you want to say? Just say it out." Victor hesitated. He didn't know how to deal with this woman, but the way Melinda looked at him made him timid.

"Mr. Cheng, we are not familiar," Melinda said with a smile. Though what her colleague said was harsh, she had to admit that there was something she did not handle well.

If she could be more tough, she wouldn't have been bothered by these things.

Victor's mouth twisted in disbelief. He wondered whether Melinda was at her period, where was the gentle and kind her?

"Mr. Cheng, if you want to talk about the manuscript, I have known it. Next time, I will not let everyone down." Melinda stood up, bowed slightly, and straightened her back.

"Mr. Cheng, I hope you will not do anything inappropriate anymore. I really like this job." Melinda turned around and said with a smile before leaving.

She was tired of those schemes. She didn't want to leave this place which she had been accustomed to for a long time for some ridiculous reasons.

Victor was still a little confused, but he also read some information from the attitude of Melinda.

"What's going on in the editing department?" Unable to think of an answer, Victor asked his assistant. The assistant had heard of it and told him everything he knew.

He even despised Melinda.

"What a bunch of gossipy women!" Victor said. He let his assistant leave the office. Thinking of what had happened, he knew that it was he who had dragged down Melinda.

"You should change the meaning of this draft and release it in the next magazine." Victor sent Melinda a message. After a short while, he received a reply.

"There is no need. It makes people even more feel that we are related. By the way, I have anonymously submitted it to the competitor company." A smile was shown behind Melinda's words, which made Victor think of her fake smiling face.

Though working at the company, Melinda was free to write. It would be no problem if her own company didn't use her article, she could send her article to other companies. She could even earn money using an anonymous name in usual times.

It was the first time that Melinda did this, but she just felt happy. She was a qualified woman, would she be afraid that she could not survive in this industry? Of course not.

She was confident in herself. She dared to submit her article anonymously to other company even when her own company knew clearly it was hers. She knew that the company would not make a fuss about it.

It was obvious that the quality of the finished draft was not as good as the last one which was denied. Since there was a dark curtain for the draft, the company was not so stupid to do that.

Victor could imagine that he would be scolded by his leader the next time when he had a meeting. If this happened a few more times, he would also be in a bad situation.

After a thorough analysis, he had to step up in the end, no matter what the situation was.

Just as the old saying goes, "A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe." Melinda went to work every day as usual. Others' attitude towards her had no longer bothered her. On Friday, Victor wanted to make a small private meeting.

Not everyone in the editing department would be present, but almost everyone was present.

Melinda walked to her seat, and found the chair was splashed with water. Calmed down, she took out the folder from the table and placed it on the seat. She pressed the material with her mobile phone.

Looking at her behavior, Victor's eyes twitched. He felt that she was really a little self-indulgent these days.

Those who had planned to tease Melinda got shocked when they saw her behavior.

Victor started with the same kind of opening remarks. In addition, the staff kept talking about the problems that they had encountered at work this week.

"Good. Everyone is working very hard this week," Victor said. Those people were naturally applauding.

"You are all very talented people. I hope that you can perfectly demonstrate your talents in the company and make yourself more successful in the company. Just like Melinda, with her own talents, she has won a lot of difficult partners.
