The most terrible thing for a person was not that he would be forever alone, but that he would be
forever alone even though he had someone in his heart. Just like James. Ho always made others feel
that he was lonely even when he was smiling. The person was almost forgotten by him. But he would
sigh whenever he recalled her.
Jacob parked his car at the gate of the company and saw James at the first sight. He had been waiting
for Jacob as he knew that he would come back.
The company was in a bad situation now, waiting for Jacob to come back. The case was a little clearer,
but was still covered by mist.
"How do you feel now? Are you feeling better?" James asked with concern. He didn't forget to look out
to see where Sara was.
"She's back. You don't need to look for her." Jacob's voice was full of exhaustion. Yesterday, he was
seriously ill and chatted with Sara for a long time, but he didn't feel anything wrong. Now, he felt very
uncomfortable.
"What's wrong, Jacob? What happened between you two?" Obviously, James was more concerned
about Sara. Although the top priority was the business of the company, the marriage of Jacob was also
very important.
"She never forgave me." Jacob looked sad, as if he was in great pain at the thought of this.
James rolled his eyes at Jacob and thought, 'Of course you won't be forgave for just several words'.
Sometimes James was really worried by Jacob's EQ, but he also felt that Sara was really stubborn.
"How's the company going? How's the investigation going? " Jacob kept asking about the company as
he walked forward.
Damn it! How could she be hospitalized at such a critical moment? However, he also felt lucky as he
had finally knew what Sara was thinking in her mind. If it weren't for his illness, he might never be given
that chance.
"Let's go back to the office first. The situation is not optimistic." James looked serious. He didn't expect
it to be so serious either. Hearing his words, Jacob was a bit shocked in his heart. Even uncle was not
optimistic about what had happened. Was there any big news happening after she was in hospital for
only one day?
When they arrived at the office, James gently closed the door and sat on the sofa beside Jacob's office,
lying there tiredly. He was always casual before Jacob. In the past two days, he was too tired and could
not sleep well.
Jacob didn't care about the gesture of his uncle either.
James looked at the ceiling blankly. Assistant Cindy brought two cups of coffee and went out.
"How is everything going, uncle?" Jacob felt a little nervous. What happened? Why was James so
depressed?
"The case is getting more complicated. According to the evidence collected in the factory, there are
many hidden conflicts among the workers. Obviously, they were not getting along well with each other.
Anyway, that workshop is not in harmony. "
James sighed. He didn't expect that the colleagues who worked together had a bad relationship. How
hard it would be to work with people you don't like every day?
"Moreover, insurances had been bought for each worker, which was specially proposed by the group
leader this year. And we bought double insurances for them. "
James frowned and stared at the ceiling blankly.
"You mean this is a case of wilful killing?" Jacob took a deep breath. If the accident turned into a
murder, would there be less negative news about the company?
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean. It's almost a murder. But there are too many suspects and we don't
know how the explosion happened. This case is very tricky. " James frowned and recalled the police's
description.
"But I always feel that there is something wrong. There are too many doubtful points, leaving the affair
few clue." Jacob frowned and wondered why it was so complicated.
"What did their family say?" Jacob continued to ask. Even if the case was not clear yet, an explanation
was needed for the families of victims.
After all, the explosion was happening in the factory. The necessary process of compensation and
procedures had to be gone through. Otherwise, they were likely to face the revenge from the angry
families of the victims and the situation would be even harsher for them.
"Some of them were so furious that they could hardly listen to our persuasion. While some others were
quite calm, according to my observation. I think their reactions varies with their personalities. "
James analyzed as if he was a detective.
"That's normal. Everyone has his or her own personality. What about that woman? " Of course, Jacob
was mentioning Chole. She had left Jacob deep impression by trying to jump off the top of the building.
Jacob lowered his head and took a sip of coffee. The black coffee without sugar was so bitter that he
frowned. Jacob was used to put nothing in coffee, because he thought too much sweet would make
him forget the bitterness of coffee.
It was a long-lost sunny day. But there were impurities in the air, which made people feel annoyed. The
sunshine went through the window and shone into the office. The shadow cast on Jacob's face, making
him look handsome and stylish.
James still maintained his posture, as if nothing had changed. He slightly moved his legs and said, "I
don't know. There seems to be no news about her."
James was so busy that he forgot to ask someone to investigate that woman. He felt that it might be
just a coincidence. Besides, the police didn't get involved in looking for the woman called Chole. It
made sense.
In a word, she was not a very important figure and now James was not focusing on her.
"Is there anything wrong with our partners? Does the accident have any impact on our cooperation with
them? " Jacob stared at the steaming coffee in front of him. Through the steam, it was hard to see
James's expression.
"Yes, but the impact is not very bad. The contracts of several big companies haven't expired yet, but
some small companies have terminated the contracts with us. People were selfish. It's understandable.
"
James sat up. He was too tired these days. So he just wanted to lie down. Now everyone in the
company was on tenterhooks and had no time to rest.
"I understand. The companies that have terminated the contract with us are all recorded and we will
never cooperate with them in the future. After this matter is over, we will have a large number of new
partners. "
Jacob squinted. Betrayal was the last thing he could bear. Although he didn't force others to share weal
and woe with him, he couldn't bear the behavior of kicking one when he was down.
"Yes, I have given the order. I'll bring you the latest news and documents later. You can read them
carefully. " James stood up and strode out to get the documents. He put all the documents on his office,
so he decided to get them by herself.
When James went out, Jacob looked out of the window blankly. A thin mist was floating in the air. He
stared at the mist blankly as he felt messy in his heart.
Sara's words echoed in his heart. She couldn't forget him. He felt helpless for that. But as James
mentioned the company's affairs just now, Jacob had thought of Sara several times.
He didn't think of her on purpose, but she just emerged in his mind. Even when facing such an
important affair, Sara could still distract him. Jacob took another sip of coffee, the bitter taste filled his
mouth.
But it was far less than the bitterness in his heart. He knew that no coffee in the world could be bitterer
than his heart.
James took the document and explained everything in detail to Jacob. He was afraid that Jacob might
have missed something. In the blink of an eye, Jacob felt as if he had returned to the time when he just
graduated. He knew nothing about business and needed James's guidance.
Given the outstanding talent of James, it was already a precious character for him to be willing to serve
the others rather than to be served. Therefore, it was difficult for Jacob to express his respect for his
uncle within a few words.
