"Boss, you have gone through a good fight. People are afraid that you will get them into trouble once they see you,"

William said excitedly. It was rare for Jonas to have a smile on his face, and now he looked tired. He had been busy with the internal affairs of the company and the acquisition case these days, so he hadn't had a good rest.

"Thanks for your hard work this time. It's my treat tonight. You can choose any restaurant you like,"

said Jonas in a hoarse voice. He rubbed the position of his Adam's apple uncomfortably, and then took a gulp of water to feel better.

"All right. We have to find a good restaurant to pay our gratitude. Boss, can we bring any family members with us?"

William was thoughtful for the benefits of the young fellows in the CEO office again. He had been working with Jonas for a long time. He knew that although Jonas was always serious, he was always generous to the employees.

"Whatever, I'll pay for that."

"Aren't you going with us, boss?"

William felt that there was something wrong. He thought the boss would go with them this time. Jonas shook his head. He had been living in the company for a long time. He hadn't come back home for a long time. He missed Melinda very much.

He had never experienced such feelings for his entire life.

Melinda was very busy at home recently. Her new book had been completed, and she had been writing the published version recently. She had already negotiated with the periodical office.

She was a little famous now, and the hype of Emily made Melinda get a lot of fans in the city. The company decided to hold a new book launch for her.

At the same time, they planned to brand Melinda as a famous writer.

Yulia was still grounded at home, but she could do much more. She was no longer confined in that small bedroom or villa.

It was autumn and the weather was getting colder. Yulia wore a light dress with a white vest, looking like a socialite diva.

With a pure black cat in her arms, she was on the way to the residence of Melinda.

Due to her miscarriage, Melinda had been in poor health, especially when it was cold. In this cold weather, she was barely walking around in the yard, with her windbreaker on and scarf around her neck.

"Melinda, are you busy now?"

Yulia asked as she walked into the villa with the cat. Melinda was talking something about the new book launch with the editor, and then hung up the video.

"What's up?"

Melinda closed the computer and looked at Yulia with a light smile, but she felt a little helpless in her heart because Yulia would come to her from time to time during this period of time.

She didn't know whether Yulia really cared about her, but she was being disturbed.

"Melinda, why do you stay at home all day long? The weather is good today. Let's go out for a walk."

Yulia had no idea how long she had been staying in this big mansion. But she knew very well that if she went out with Melinda, Nelson would def

inda all the time, but quietly waited for the opportunity.

Yulia thought the opportunity was Melinda's new book launch.

Back home, Jonas took a shower and shaved his beard. He became handsome again, with angular features.

There were only four words left in Melinda's heart, pretending to be cool.

"How have you been recently?"

Jonas had changed into leisure wear. When he saw that Melinda was also wrapped in a coat even in the bedroom, he couldn't help but frown and ask, "Why don't you turn on the air conditioner?"

"It's not so cold yet. I open it now, what should I do when the winter comes?"

Melinda was afraid of the feeling of being dependent on a person, even a thing.

"Is this the stylebook?" Jonas spotted a new stylebook and couldn't help but open it and look at it. It was just the same as the online version, except that it was made into paper version. He had a strange feeling.

"Yes. A new book launch is to be held in two days, and I am preparing to go to the site in the afternoon."

As Melinda spoke, Jonas read her book carefully. There was a strange feeling in her heart that such a romantic novel was the fancy of little girls. It was really odd that Jonas was reading it.

"How is the site layout? Is the invitation list confirmed? And..." Hearing many questions in one breath, Melinda stood still where she was. At last, she muttered, "Everything is arranged. By the way, there is your image in this book. You know that, right?"

"Of course I know,"

said Jonas, gritting his teeth. He was exactly the jerk in the book.

"In order to make publicity, I want you to attend the new book launch. What do you think?"

Melinda raised her eyebrows and asked. She didn't feel guilty at all as she had written the character as a jerk on purpose. It was very realistic. Leaving the jerk behind, she invited him to attend the new book launch, and Jonas was very happy.

"Of course I will attend."

He was not only happy, but also promised readily.
