"I have thought about it, but Chole didn't answer. I believe that she was hiding something from us."
Sara was not really sure that the event was a man-made tragedy. However, this possibility shouldn't be
excluded so hastily.
"Maybe we should tell the police about the information." James squinted his eyes. Sara was really a
smart person.
"No, not now." Jacob and Sara almost spoke at the same time. As their voices fell, they both found it a
little embarrassing and looked at each other awkwardly.
"I mean, these are just our conjectures and we have no evidence to prove all these. And this is only the
statement of our party. If Chole doesn't admit that I have seen her before the police, then I would be the
one who made up the truth. After all, to protect her husband's honor, I don't think she will give priority to
me, a stranger. "
After a pause, Sara turned to Jacob and said, "Her husband was very optimistic. I think it's a little
inconceivable for an optimistic man to do such a thing. So I just mentioned one possibility for your
reference. "
Seeing her determined eyes, Jacob felt that Sara were shining all over her body. He wasn't aware that
he had missed so many beautiful points on Sara.
"Yes, Sara is right. Things about Chole was not the top priority for us now. Now we need to comfort the
family of the victims. Anyway, the company is responsible for the explosion. We should negotiate with
them as soon as possible. We can't ignore this just because we haven't find the cause of the explosion.
"
Jacob analyzed. He entrusted James to deal with the issue as he knew that his uncle was always
reliable. He could always see things that Jacob himself couldn't see. Besides, what made Jacob joyful
today was that Sara was also concerned about the company's progress and spared no effort to inquire
about the situation for him.
He was so moved that he didn't know what to say to express his happiness.
"Sara, let's have lunch together. You've done so much to help the company. If you don't agree, you
would embarrass me." James proposed. He knew that it was embarrassing for Jacob to make the
suggestion, so he had to speak for Jacob.
"I'm afraid it's not a good idea. After all, you are so busy and the company is on high alert now. It will
affect you." With a guilty look on her face, Sara felt that what she had done was insignificant and not
worth mentioning.
James's eyes went past Sara and fell on Jacob, as if he was encouraging him.
"Just stay for dinner. We still have to eat anyway. And there are some details that I need to confirm with
you so that I can tell the police about Chole. Besides, more detailed information for me to cope with the
coming news conference. "
There was expectation in Jacob's eyes. He hoped that Sara could stay. A friend in need is a friend
indeed. At this moment, Jacob had a deep understanding of the saying.
So he had to strike while the iron was hot and lead their relationship to a positive direction.
Seeing the expectant look in Jacob's eyes, Sara's heart thumped. She had thought of excuses to
refuse the invitation, but now she just could not use them.
She knew that she still couldn't let go of Jacob. His every move and expression could affect her mind.
Even though she didn't admit it, her body and behavior were honest.
"Okay, then." Sara nodded slightly. James captured the joy flashed through Jacob's eyes.
The two people still loved each other, but they just couldn't be together. In fact, they were not alone.
After all, their different personalities as well as their unpleasant past had left a mark in the hearts of the
two. Perhaps only time could heal all the problems and wounds.
"You may go first. I still have some documents to deal with." James smiled at Jacob with expectation.
It depends on you, Jacob. I've already did what I could to help you.
Sara, on the other side, had a feeling that she had been set up. But she couldn't lose her temper now.
She had to follow Jacob out of the office slowly.
Under the envious and confused eyes of all the employees, Sara felt that her face was burning.
When they finally came out of the elevator, there was an employee inside. As the two walked in, the
atmosphere became weird.
"What do you want to eat?" At this point, Jacob's gentle voice sounded, and the employee next to him
showed an embarrassed expression. His present was really ill-timed.
"How about steak?" Sara replied casually. Anyway, she would lose her appetite no matter what she
had. And there was a western restaurant downstairs. Steak was a proper choice for them.
"As you wish." After saying that, Jacob looked straight at Sara. The employee stood in the middle of the
two, with his face red as cherry.
Finally, they reached the first floor and the employee rushed out quickly. Sara felt confused but didn't
say anything.
In the western restaurant, Sara looked around at the lively crowd. She hadn't had dinner with Jacob for
a long time, so long that she almost forgot when the last time they had dinner together.
She ordered steak and red wine. Jacob held his glass. The red liquid was slightly shaking in the glass,
emitting an attractive light.
"How is dad?" Sara asked abruptly. Did Michael know about it?
"He was not in a good situation. I'm too busy to see him recently." Jacob showed a guilty face. He
would never be able to make up for his father.
Jacob looked dejected. Perhaps his insists on guarding the company was mostly coming from his love
for his father.
That was also the key factor for him to be a workaholic.
He could gave up his dream to fulfill his father's dream. Of course, in a silent way. Not everyone likes
doing business, and Jacob is not that kind of person. But as long as he can carry on with his father's
dream, it doesn't matter whether he likes it or not. He would just accept it and work hard.
As for his own dream, it was also one of Jacob's dreams to complete his family's dream, so he would
never let Michael's dream be shattered. Therefore, he would try his best to help the company get
through the difficulties.
Maybe some people would say that Jacob did it for himself, but that didn't matter. What really matters
was that Sara was accompanying him through the difficult time.
"Since you don't have time to go, I'll go there for you. I will greet Michael for you and keep this secret. If
he asks about it, I will find an excuse. After all, the new year is coming and it's normal for you to be
busy during this period. "
Staring at Jacob, Sara picked up the wine glass. She hadn't drunk for a long time and was not quite
used to it.
Since she left the Shi clan, she didn't have to attend any social activities, go to all kinds of high-end
parties, and naturally didn't have many opportunities to drink.
Maybe what Sara missed was not the taste of red wine, nor the feeling of being the wife of the CEO of
the Shi Group, but the feeling at that time.
"Thank you. Sara. "
Jacob raised his glass and stopped in midair. Perhaps in the past four years, he had never clinked
glasses with Sara so solemnly, because he took everything for granted. That was why he chose to
divorce later.
Now he realized that nothing in life was a matter of course, it was only because Sara was willing to give
way at that time. Jacob was not sure if it was too late for him to realize that.
"You're welcome."
Sara stuck her tongue slightly. It was the first time that she had been so relaxed in front of Jacob. She
used to be so nervous when she was with him that she almost became depressed.
