When Maggie saw the unnatural expression on Melinda's face, she sensed that something was wrong.
In a panic, Melinda moved the mouse in a hurry. The light flickered on the screen.
However, Melinda was unable to open any file in her computer.
The documents found from the recycle bin were destroyed. It seemed that she was drained of all her
strength. She collapsed to her seat.
"Sorry, my original draft is gone."
Melinda apologized, sweat streaming down her forehead, and her face was pale.
"Melinda, what happened?" Maggie put her finger on her forehead out of concern. The touch was cold,
making her teeth tremble.
"My files were all destroyed." Maggie widened her eyes in shock and asked, "did you ever use a USB
flash drive as a backup?"
"No, I'm not," answered Melinda in a low voice
She didn't know that she had destroyed all the files. She just went out for dinner before. Her mind was
in a mess. It could be said that all the files in her computer were the fruit of her hard work after she
came to this company.
Every piece of the work liked a baby. But now, all her offspring died because of her miscarriage.
She could do nothing but silent. When the draft was lost, she could only make up for it. Maggie could
do nothing to help. She comforted her for a while and then gave her some personal space.
It might be easy to write these copies, but they were not as good as she had thought at the beginning
and she couldn't write them well.
The whole afternoon, Melinda was out of spirits. She was very surprised when Victor came to the
editing department.
When Melinda was at work, there was a disturbance. After the inquiry, even Victor raised his voice, "all
of them were ruined?"
Since they both used the same system, it was pretty easy for a computer crash to happen.
Melinda nodded helplessly. Sitting at her desk, Victor opened the files but failed to open them. He
couldn't read any of them.
"Don't be depressed. I will help you contact some experts to restore the files."
Then he turned around and walked to the tea room, seeming to look for someone.
"I found a person who is a computer expert. He is much better than us."
Melinda sounded like that Victor was talking to her in a soft and soothing way, but she didn't think that a
playboy like him was reliable.
That man arrived soon. It was cold today, but he was dressed in men's slippers, big clothes and
trousers, wearing a big coat, and his hair created a wild shape, and his eyes were covered by thick
glasses.
A skillful man.
He was a little shy, greeting her indifferently and keeping his head down out of uncomfortableness, but
as if Victor had got used to it, Victor brought him directly in front of the computer and roughly described
the situation.
"It might be able to recover after some time." The person was very confident in his professional
domain. He made such a promise after conducting inspection.
It turned out that the man was really good at it. With his help, all the documents were restored.
The feeling of regaining something that had lost was probably the current mood of her. She was eager
to check those documents that she had found. After confirming that they were all correct, she let out a
heavy sigh of relief.
"Thank you." She said to Victor, who was standing behind her. Victor had sent that man away after
talking to him.
"It's not sincere of your thanks." Victor squinted at her with infinite sensual charm, but he was scheming
in her eyes.
"I want to invite you to dinner. You decide the restaurant. You know clearly how much I can afford."
Since they got familiar with each other, Melinda didn't talk with Victor with reverence as she used to be.
Instead, she often said sarcastically to him because his behaviors.
For Victor, there was no politeness at all. Melinda said it was her treat. She booked at the restaurant by
phone when she was about to get off work. The restaurant she booked was really her choice.
The salary of one-third of a month was almost paid in this meal. Fortunately, she was a person who
was paid outside.
It was a Cantonese restaurant, which was in line with Melinda's taste. When they arrived at the
restaurant, it was overcrowded. Even though Victor liked bustling events, he reserved a small private
room.
The waiter led them to the second floor, which was much quieter than the first floor. At the entrance of
the stairs, Melinda saw a little familiar figure at the other end of the corridor.
At the sight of her, Jonas's eyes brightened. His steady pace turned anxious.
The light in the corridor was dim. It was not until they got close that they saw the man behind Melinda.
Noticing that, Victor gave a big smile.
The white teeth were such a blatant weapon at night, as if the provocation was hidden in the smile.
Although they had broken up, she felt guilty for no reason. She walked away and walked further away
from Victor unconsciously.
Not knowing why, the waiter said politely to her, "Miss Mo, your seats are on the left end of the corridor,
next to the left."
"Why are you with him?" Neither of them said a word to each other. Finally, it was Jonas who failed to
keep calm. He had reminded her many times. However, he didn't expect that he still chose to go with
Victor.
It seemed that they still went out to have dinner together. From the waiter's words, it was Melinda who
invited Victor today.
A sudden surge of anger rose in Jonas's heart. Although he tried to hide his anger, the questioning in
the diction still made her frown.
He stared at Victor with a dangerous and warning look, while the latter was still frivolous and cast a
disgusting and flirtatious look at Melinda.
Jonas clenched his fists and the blue veins on the back of his hands seemed to pop.
The waiter sensed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere around them. He stood still for
a moment. Looking fearlessly at Jonas, and Melinda said slowly, "Mr. Cheng helped me today. I want to
invite him to dinner for return."
Her eyes were bright and innocent, showing no trace of guilt.
Jonas was not sure what to do for a moment, but noticing Victor's provoking look, he said in a sarcastic
tone, "you are such a close friend with your boss."
While saying that, she couldn't help but feel sore in her tone. Neither Jonas nor Melinda noticed the
change of this detail.
"He is just my superior and subordinate. Mr. Cheng helped me a lot, much more than this meal."
The draft for Melinda was priceless.
However, they two were not aware of each other's words.
Hearing this, a playful look appeared in Victor's eyes. He got angry from the moment he saw that
Melinda should explain to Jonas so obediently.
"Melinda." Hearing that, she thought there was something wrong. Puzzled, she turned her head to look
at him. In an instant, she felt the face in front of her was blocked and a slight cold kiss fell on her cheek.
Victor went back to his seat, licked his lips, and looked at Jonas provocatively.
Hearing this, Jonas's face suddenly darkened. His tight fists were vented. He went forward, pulled
away Melinda, and hit Victor's face.
Victor was also well prepared. He quickly reached out his hand to fend off the attack, but even so, he
felt numb in the mouth of his hand for a while.
'my cousin is really a violent man.
"Mr. Gu, don't get angry. My face that Melinda loves most. You can't hit it."
As Victor spoke to him stubbornly, he was on guard against Jonas's punches and kicks. It was a
moment ago, but now Victor called her dear Melinda affectionately.
Just like an irritated lion, Jonas dashed at his face.
He didn't punch on Victor's face in the first place, but now, Victor's face was swollen.
Victor was a playboy in the bar. Even if he had some fighting skills, he was still weak in front of Jonas.
Victor still provoked Jonas as madly as a masochist. The waiter screamed and hid aside. In the
beginning, Melinda awas pushed aside by Jonas and did not get involved.
But now the two fought in public, attracting the attention of many people downstairs. Many people
looked up to see what happened.
"Mona, your ex-husband is too violent. We'd better leave now if I can't beat him." Noticing that his hair
was in a mess, his suit was crumpled and his face was flushed, he lost his usual charming image.
On the contrary, Jonas's clothes were a little messy, and he could look well with one photo casually.
Victor ran to Melinda and stopped her action successfully. In the dim light, she felt that there seemed to
be a flame in Jonas's eyes.
And the position of his sight… Following his sight, Melinda looked to the direction, only to find that, out
of nowhere, Victor had grabbed her arm.
"Mr. Cheng, I don't think it's unnecessary to have dinner with you today." "It seems that the flame in
Jonas's eyes has been extinguished a lot," she said in a serious tone, after she stretched out her hand
to slap away Victor's hand, as she rubbed her arm.
Melinda's nonchalant response made Edgar a little embarrassed. However, he had always been very
thick skinned, and once again reached out his hand in an indifferent manner. Melinda avoided his touch
as if he was a plague. She sternly warned him, "Mr. Cheng, please show some respect."
Victor's behavior provoked Melinda. She glanced at the two men and turned to go downstairs without
saying a word.
