Forgive My Ex-husband

Chapter 372 Fawn On Him

"How can you be sure that Jonas would do that?" At first, Melinda wanted to have a sip of milk, which

was one of her habits these days, but it was ordered by Alice.

She didn't think she was that careless since it was the milk that the once Emily ordered for her.

The servant knew Melinda best. She opened her canvas bag, took out a vacuum bottle and poured a

small glass of honey water for Melinda.

"Because I know him too," Alice said with a confident smile on her face. Although she had doubted

whether she had a wrong understanding of Jonas for so many years.

But she found that most of the time, he was still the one that was familiar to her.

Hearing this, Melinda's face darkened. She thought Alice's words were a provocation.

But her expression was so sincere that Melinda didn't know what to say.

This novel was a cooperation with her company. In fact, many things were handled by Victor. Melinda

believed in Victor, but she still wanted to check it by herself.

As she became more and more famous, the chances of making the novels into movies or TV plays also

increased. At present, there were two novels in progress, and what Alice chose was the one that

cooperated with the company.

Melinda didn't expect that there was such a mistake. There was only a rumor on the Internet that Alice

was going to participate in the TV series of her novel, but she didn't say exactly which one it was.

The director didn't know the situation and misunderstood. He was worried that he couldn't refuse

Colson's request at all.

"If you want to take part in this play, does it go against your goal? It's basically the responsibility of the

company. Jonas won't interfere," Melinda said. Alice nodded her head.

"I believe in my own judgment. This role is an opportunity,"

Alice said confidently. Melinda thought that she had really changed a lot, and she was determined to

get this role, which made Melinda a little flustered.

However, everything of Alice now was given by Colson. Melinda wanted to ask Alice about the rumor of

her being a mistress, but she finally felt that she could not say anything about it.

What's more, she also thought of that. Wasn't that the way Emily used to be?

"Well, it seems that you are still unwilling to give up," Melinda said helplessly. But recently, she had a

better choice for the heroine in her heart.

However, this sentence did not come out from Melinda's mouth, and Alice was still so determined to get

this role. She even felt that this matter was settled.

"Don't you wish us a pleasant cooperation?" Alice said with a confident smile, which made Melinda a

little dazed.

In the past, Emily was so arrogant, but then she was in a mess. But now she seemed to come back

with a new identity, the identity of Alice.

Now she no longer relied on Jonas, but on Colson, who supported her.

"No, I still can't," Melinda said with a smile, feeling that there was no need to continue the conversation.

Alice looked at Melinda, curious about her next move, but did not ask.

She was much calmer than before.

"I think that's all for today's chat. I can think about the cooperation after I go back to the company,"

Melinda said. Then she asked the servant to hold her hand and left the seat.

Alice didn't have any reaction. She just watched Melinda leave quietly. After she left, half of the people

in the coffee shop disappeared. At first, Melinda wanted to look for Jonas in the Soaring Group, but

finally asked the driver to go to her company.

She hadn't been to the company for a long time and didn't expect to go back before the childbirth.

Melinda really felt that the world was unpredictable.

People in the company were all excited to see her coming back with a big belly. The news of Melinda

coming back spread quickly from top to bottom in the company.

When Victor got the news, he was shocked and ran out of his office in a hurry. As soon as the elevator

arrived, he saw a servant holding Melinda.

"Oh, my God! What are you doing here?" Looking at Melinda, Victor was frightened. He wanted to go

up to hold her, but he didn't dare to touch her.

"To know something," Melinda said with a smile. She hadn't been to the company for a long time, which

made her feel a little familiar and comfortable. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

In the end, Victor gave up the idea of holding her. He thought that it would be better for her to have the

servant to take care of her, and if he went up to help her, it might be a hindrance.

Victor's office was alone, and his secretaries were all outside at this time. Those people were still very

curious when Melinda went in, but they refrained themselves if they didn't want to be scolded by Victor.

In contrast, the office was much quieter. Victor's style was more mature and steady, so the style of the

office was the same, showing a sense of proficiency.

There were still many documents on the desk. Looking at the mountain of documents, Melinda felt that

Victor's work was not easy.

As soon as Melinda arrived, Victor poured a glass of water for her and a cup for the servant.

Melinda thought it was safe here, so she just let the servant sit aside and wait for her.

"You came to me today to talk about the casting, right?" Victor drank coffee. Others said coffee could

wake one up, but he felt that coffee was more and more useless to him.

"Well, there are a lot of news outside recently." Melinda didn't want to beat around the bush with Victor.

Moreover, in her heart, Victor was her good friend.

She trusted Victor very much, but the society was very realistic. If Colson really put pressure on Victor,

he would not be able to hold on.

"Don't worry. Your novel won't be destroyed," said Victor. Then he walked to his desk and began to look

for it.

"This is the current list. You can have a look." Victor handed the document to Melinda. She opened it

and found that it was a general list.

They were not only the protagonists, but also supporting roles. Moreover, Victor was very careful and

had attached the information of these actors.

This made Melinda feel directly whether these people were suitable for this role or not.

As the author of the novel, Melinda could best see who was suitable for this role, so when she saw the

temporary actor and actress on it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, no matter what happened outside, Victor still took this matter seriously.

"I think all these are suitable." Looking at it again, Melinda was very satisfied, especially the heroine,

who was the same one as she wanted.

Victor was glad to see that Melinda had the same thought with him. When he was about to say

something, he heard a knock on the door.

The conversation between the two stopped abruptly. Looking at Victor, Melinda seemed to ask who he

was. Victor's face turned a little pale.

He thought he had already guessed who it was.

As expected, the internal phone rang soon. The secretary said that the director wanted to see Victor.

Victor snorted in his heart and thought he actually wanted to see Melinda.

"It's the director," said Victor. Hearing this, Melinda also understood a little. Then she said to Victor, "We

are discussing this matter now. Let the director come in."

Victor asked his secretary to bring the director in, and then asked his secretary to make a cup of coffee

for him. After the director came in, the servant began to feel a little reserved.

"Auntie, wait for me outside," Melinda said to her. Although she was worried, she left because she

knew that Victor wouldn't hurt Melinda.

"Mrs. Gu, long time no see." The director didn't greet Victor. Instead, he turned to look at Melinda and

greeted her warmly.

There was a little embarrassment on Melinda's face, but she still smiled. In fact, she felt that she had

never seen the director before.

The director began to talk about this matter since he came. He praised how good the theme of the

story was, which would definitely cause a new storm.

All kinds of praises made Melinda feel embarrassed.

Seeing that only he was talking, the director also realized that there was something wrong. He smiled

awkwardly and then cut to the chase. "Since Mrs. Gu is here, why don't you decide the casting?"

said the director. The expression on Victor's face changed at first. He had been in charge of the

casting, but the director gave the power so easily without discussion.

Although he said that he wanted to let Melinda decide, it was undoubtedly humiliating him.

All the director wanted to do now was to flatter Melinda in order to fawn on Jonas.

Victor felt uncomfortable, but he didn't show it in the end. After all, he appreciated Melinda very much

and she was his friend. Moreover, he knew that she was not that kind of wayward person.

He didn't say anything, and the director had no scruples. At first, Melinda wanted to refuse, but in the

end, she was a little worried and agreed.

She had to take care of her own novel.

The three of them began to talk about the shooting. The director was the most talkative one, and Victor

didn't say anything, while Melinda only responded to him occasionally. Then she also felt that

something was wrong between Victor and the director.

They didn't talk much today. Since Melinda was pregnant, she couldn't work all the time, so she

proposed to leave soon. It was the servant who reminded her.

These were the instructions given by Jonas.

"I'll be here these days. We'll talk about the details later," Melinda said. In fact, this sentence was

mainly told to Victor. As for the director, Melinda also noticed something.

"You're pregnant. Don't run around."
