Melinda poured a glass of juice for Nelson, and then sat down. They had a nice conversation. Nelson's
guilty face was finally amused by her.
Then he felt that he seemed to have forgotten something. With such a thought, he was helpless. It
turned out that Melinda intentionally told him good instead of bad. She even changed the topic to make
him forget it.
"You must have suffered a lot outside."
Looking at the gaunt face of Melinda, Nelson felt a little distressed. He found that she had only had a
few days of comfortable life, and all these were brought by his grandson.
The hard established status in Nelson's heart disappeared immediately.
"No, Grandpa taught me to be independent since I was a child. I'm growing step by step according to
his requirements. I feel happy." Melinda comforted him with a smile. Such an encounter might make her
hesitate, but it would never knock her down.
'What's the big deal for a sly man like Jonas to hold on for five years?' thought Melinda.
Hearing this, Nelson seemed that it was like his old friend would say.
"If you feel wronged, don't endure it. The Gu family will always be your backer. These troubles will soon
pass. I believe with you." Nelson comforted her. He also thought it was because of her character that
she was easily bullied.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Suddenly, she seemed to see her grandfather standing in front of her with a cold face. He seemed to
comfort her while scolding her. Finally, he quietly cleared all the bad things to her behind.
Thinking of this, her eyes became a little red. In order not to let Nelson see that, she stood up from her
seat and said in a hurry, "Grandpa, I'll go to wash some fruits for you."
After chatting with Nelson for a while, he found that it was getting late. So he asked the driver to leave.
After sending Nelson downstairs, Melinda ordered the driver to call her to inform that Nelson was safe.
But Melinda didn't expect that it was Jonas who told her that grandpa was safe. It was past ten o'clock
in the evening. Sitting at the window, Melinda looked out of the window at the night. There was no light
in the bedroom, and only the weak light reflected in from the outside that made Melinda looked
beautiful.
"I know. Let Grandpa rest early..." For the first time, Melinda felt that 'good night' was so hard to say, so
she simply hung up the phone.
Jonas was a little upset, but it was already rare that she was willing to answer his phone now.
At this time, Mr. Gu completely ignored that he was holding the phone at the Gu's mansion to call
Melinda
There was a USB flash drive in his hand, in which the conversation about Sandy was recorded by one
of his men. The voice was completely copied in the USB flash drive.
He wouldn't mind it.
It was Monday the next day. Thinking of going back to the company, Melinda had the urge to not go to
work, but now she had to support herself, so it was necessary to go to work. As for her writing draft,
affected by this matter, the website had her books deleted and locked.
The purpose of that was to prevent the website from being attacked, but it was a little disappointing.
Someone took advantage of it and thought Melinda wasn't a good writer.
Melinda sat on her seat without looking sideways. She paid no attention to what was happening outside
the window and selectively blocked the discussions of those people. As for the company, she got no
special treatment waiting because of Victor.
She was not in the mood to work on the design in the past two days. But to her relief, the people
around her seemed to be very busy with gossip, and they had no time to write. Thus, in the morning
meeting, each of them was criticized by the supervisor.
When Victor arrived at the company, he found that the office was quiet and everyone was concentrating
on writing on their desks.
"Melinda, come to my office."
When he passed by the Department of Melinda, he called out to her and then took the lead to leave.
He pondered for a few days. He thought that as long as he found her draft, she would be proved to be
innocent. Likewise, he was also curious why she didn't show her own draft after such a long time.
If he didn't trust her more, he would doubt whether she had stolen other's idea.
Those people who finally calmed themselves down, went on to work. Hearing what Victor said.
Immediately, they looked at her as the center of the light, full of mockery.
Since Victor was the leader, Melinda had no choice but to leave her seat. After a short hesitation,
Melinda went to Victor's office. It was obvious that Victor had told the secretary about Melinda, so the
Secretary led Melinda directly into the office.
"Mr. Cheng, what can I do for you?" She had reminded him many times that if he do something like
that, people would gossip about them. But he acted as if he hadn't heard it and did what he wanted to
do.
He did everything in his own way to irritate her.
"I want to ask where your draft is. As long as you show it, it's all right, right?" Victor stared at her with a
suspicious look. She blinked her eyes as if she just recalled that.
Excitement sparked in her eyes, but it soon disappeared.
"I have cleaned it up regularly. Besides, I usually write my presentation by hand. It has been gone for a
long time."
Said Melinda. It was also a coincidence. She had the habit of regularly sorting out documents, but she
was not used to sorting out the recent documents. Last time, she was probably too tired. As a result,
the document was deleted when the document was not in her sight.
"I remember that the last time I remind you, as an artist, you should have the habit of backing up
something. Don't tell me that you haven't learned any lesson from it!"
It was rare for him to be serious. Others had learnt from his mistakes, but Melinda forgot it. Thinking of
this, he rolled his eyes in a bad mood.
After hearing this, Melinda came to her senses. She didn't feel sad when she saw that, and instead,
she gave him a smile.
"Thank you for your reminding, Mr. Cheng. I'll be right back and try to find them."
After saying that, she hurried out of the office to her own department, without waiting for Victor's
answer. The back-up files in the computer, which she had been used to, were encrypted. However,
when she opened the files, she found nothing she wanted.
All the people saw that Melinda came back in high spirits and then sat down on her seats in a daze.
She began to question herself why she didn't have a backup of the file. However, she knew clearly that
she had a backup of the file.
This was a kind of reflexive habit, as long as there were new documents, she would copy the
documents automatically.
But now, there was nothing in the folder.
It's a precious opportunity that I can find it this time. Don't I even have the slightest chance to fight
back?!
With these thoughts in her mind, she lost all her strength and sat on her chair. Her bright eyes lost their
luster. She covered her face with her hands and didn't move for a long time.
People who didn't know what happened would think she was crying. But it only lasted for a dozen
seconds before she started to work as if nothing had happened.
Victor waited for a long time, but he didn't hear any news from her. So he went to the Department and
saw her working. He didn't say a word about the draft.
"You didn't find it?" He might have guessed the reason, but he still couldn't help asking. If he had
questioned her just now, now it could be seen that she was most likely framed and could not find her
draft.
"Yes."
He could sense that something was wrong, and she also knew that.
But she didn't want to look into it anymore. She felt herself useless. At this moment, she just wanted to
stay in the company as an ordinary clerk.
Victor didn't make any response. He just looked at the Department, with something vague in his eyes.
Melinda put all her mind on her work. However, the manuscript that those people brought to her was an
article about the plagiarism. It was a disgusting thing.
"Buzz…" Her cellphone, which was thrown aside by Melinda, vibrated. At this moment, she threw the
paper aside and did not notice who was calling.
"Hello."
"Linda, are you available for dinner?"
Jonas was playing a USB flash drive in his hand, which could prove that Melinda's innocence. He had
hesitated when calling her, because he was not sure about her attitude towards him at the moment.
Although they got along better yesterday, everything was because of the stimulation of Emily.
But the speed that Melinda answered the phone made Jonas happy.
"You can just talk over the phone." Melinda didn't know why Jonas wanted to see her, but she was sure
that she had been very irritable recently and didn't want to see him at all.
"I have ordered a table at the restaurant opposite your company. Remember to come and there was a
surprise." Said Jonas suddenly in a domineering manner. He knew well about Melinda's temper. If he
had persuaded her kindly, she would not have agreed and turn off his phone today.
However, if he asked for half a force in this way, she would hesitate and finally try to make the
appointment. She was not used to making things difficult for others.
After hanging up the phone, Jonas sent the address to Melinda. It was a new restaurant just opened
opposite the company, with a high price, and many people of the company could only make a comment
with only four words, 'Can't afford to consumption.'
Melinda looked around the restaurant and found that the design of the restaurant was indeed unique
and reflected its value. The reserved seat by Jonas was a private room. Led by a waiter, she saw that
he was hesitating with a menu in his hand.
"Linda."
