Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 135

Alice was looking after the shop in the jewelry store and she felt bored, so she sent a message to Thompson. Since last time, she had been waiting for Jacob to contact her. But after Jacob left, there was no news about him.

Alice: What's going on recently? Did Jacob say anything about what happened last time?

Thompson was having a meeting. He planned to reorganize Alice's shop and make it his second one. Alice looked shrewd, but in fact, she was not. As long as it was involved with Jacob, Alice would panic. Thompson was a good master-killer.

He didn't reply to Alice's message immediately. He knew that she couldn't wait to get the information she wanted to know when she was in a hurry. He just wanted to tantalize her.

Never show your trump card to others at once. If you meet a good person, he will only feel that you are honest, but if you meet a bad person, he will only feel that you are stupid. Thompson now felt that Alice was silly. The smart impression she had left to him had already been worn out. Her tricks could only deceive people like Jacob.

After the meeting, Thompson went back to his office, put his feet on the desk and asked his assistant to make a cup of coffee for him.

Alice held the phone in her hand. Now she seemed to have grasped Thompson as her last life-saving straw, and there was no way back. But she was annoyed by Thompson's indifference. Thompson was a bastard who dropped his benefactor as soon as his help is not required. Alice felt so angry when the phone finally rang.

Alice looked at the phone in her hand, with a delight look in her eyes, but her anger had not dissipated yet. She answered in a blaming tone, "My dear partner, have you forgotten that I'm here?"

With a smile at the corners of his mouth, Thompson said, "What are you talking about? I was in a meeting just now, so it was inconvenient to make a phone call. Are you angry?"

Although Alice was a little angry, she didn't dare to say anything. "No, I thought you had forgotten me. By the way, what happened to the thing I asked you? Jacob didn't call me either. Besides, it won't affect you much, right?" She asked gently.

Thompson narrowed his eyes. That was what he was most worried about. He had made it obvious to Jacob that it was done by him, but Jacob didn't respond to him nor took any action. But Thompson wouldn't be so naive to think that Jacob would let him go.

The calmer it was, the stronger the upcoming storm would be. Recently, Thompson even added a few more bodyguards.

"Jacob didn't do anything. Although he was very angry when I called him, he didn't seem to be hooked." Thompson tried to probe Alice.

After a pause, Alice said in an anxious tone, "Thompson, we have made an agreement that you would take responsibility for me... Now you have got what you want. If you fail to fulfill what you have promised me... I won't let you go."

A smile appeared on Thompson's face. 'Is this the way a rabbit gets anxious?' He thought. "Don't worry. I didn't say that Jacob didn't believe it. It was just that he appeared very calm. You have been together for seven years. He misunderstood you. Why didn't he call you? Such a person is worse than me, right?"

Thompson's sarcastic voice came through the phone. It sounded very spicy for Alice. "Don't compare yourself with him. Please pay attention to your identity."

Thompson frowned and raised his voice by eight degrees. He couldn't help but put down his legs on the desk. "Why not? Let me tell you, there are many men who are more outstanding than Jacob. You are really keen on the insignificant person. Why am I not as good as Jacob? Tell me!"

Thompson was furious not only because he was not allowed to compete with Jacob by Alice, but also because he thought of Sara. They both were playboys, why Jacob could attract women, while he couldn't even get the favor of Sara?

Alice smiled coldly, "I don't know what's good about him, but I just think that no one can replace him."

"You are insane. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. By the way, let's meet this weekend. I have some plans to tell you." For a moment, Thompson lost his interest. He didn't want to have the name of the damn Jacob in his chat.

After hanging up the phone, Alice spat out the word "bastard". She was so angry that she even wanted to throw her mobile phone away. The shop assistant was scared, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Looking at the young shop assistant Lily in front of her, Alice suddenly fell to the interest. "Lily, come here and have a chat with me."

If it was in normal times, Alice would never talk to a person like Lily. Alice had a clear distinction between high and low, rich and poor. But today, she just wanted to find someone to talk to. She hadn't talked to someone well for a long time.

Sitting at the checkout counter, Alice put her phone on the checkout counter and put her hands on the table, looking relaxed.

"Lily, how old are you?" Alice glanced at the girl with freckles on her face.

"Boss, I'm 21 years old this year." Lily was terrified. The boss's question made her nervous. It was not easy for her to find this decent job.

"Well, it's okay. Don't be nervous. Do you have a boyfriend?" Alice looked at the girl in front of her, and her heart was full of disgust. The girl's petty temperament at a glance made her disgusted.

"I did. But we broke up later. There is a boy who wants to chase me recently, but I still can't forget my ex-boyfriend." Lily seemed depressed at the thought of something sad.

"Oh, why did you break up with your ex-boyfriend?" When Alice was in a good mood, Lily seemed to be better looking in her eyes. As expected, they were the same, without boyfriend.

"He cheated on me. He ran away with a rich woman. The day he ran away was my birthday. He begged me not to affect him to move on to a better life." Lily's voice was choked with sobs. She might be about to cry if she continued.

"Bastard, how could there be such a person! Do you regret letting him go?" Alice asked cautiously.

"I regret that I didn't mess with that woman. I regret that I didn't destroy him." Lily gritted her teeth. If time went back, she would never be so kind.

"Go ahead with your work. When get married in the future, our shop will give you a set of jewelry as your wedding gift." Alice didn't want to continue. She knew better than anyone how vicious a woman could be.

That was how life was like. There would always be someone more miserable than you. Alice could always feel that she had an advantage comparing to the experiences of other people's lives. This was what Alice was most proud of. She had a good family background and good conditions. Even if it was not Jacob, she had a lot of other choices. Jacob was just the best choice. Alice couldn't let him go.

There were two kinds of women in the world. One was so naive that she thought she could be happy as long as she had love. The other was so realistic that even if they broke up, they would consider whether it was beneficial for them or not. If it was beneficial, they would break up without hesitation.

Alice was the second one. She didn't believe that love could give her everything. What she wanted was everything that she could see and touch, not what she imagined in her mind. And Jacob could give her all these without hesitation.

Alice slammed her hand on the checkout counter. It was all Sara's fault. One day, she would make Sara pay for it.
