Chapter 36 Acting
Chapter 36 Acting
When she opened the door, Sara looked up at the living room and saw that Alice was sitting on the leather sofa, as if she was waiting for her. Winnie might have gone to bed. After all, it was so late. Raising her eyebrows, Sara thought something bad was going to happen. She didn't want to talk to Alice, so she went straight to the second floor.
As soon as she was about to take the first step to upstairs. She heard Alice's voice, "Miss Sara, thank you so much for your understanding today. You didn't say anything to hurt Jacob."
Alice's tone seem to express her thanks at all, which only made people feel complacent.
Turning around, Sara looked up at her and said, "Even if I'm in dire straits. I won't do anything unscrupulous like you."
Alice frowned and said in a slightly angry voice, "Don't pretend. You are so down-hearted and out. How can you be so proud? Do you know what's going on with you? Don't you understand 'find shelter under other's roof'?"
Hearing that, Sara was stunned. There was an indescribable indifference in her eyes. "Well, we are the same. Don't you live under other people's roof? Do you think you are smarter?"
The anger on Alice's face was more obvious. "The same as you? Don't be so naive. You will never be able to compare with me cause Jacob loves me."
Sara's heart ached as if it had been stabbed by a needle. She could not help but lean her right body against the solid wood on the stairs. Alice changed a comfortable sitting position and continued to sit on the sofa.
"You are right, but what I want to tell you is that my ex-husband is like a dish. No matter how you kiss him now and show off how delicious this 'dish' is, for me, it's ok. Because I have eaten that dish and I
don't like it so much. " Sara exerted all her strength. Without looking back, she went back to the bedroom and closed the door.
Alice was infuriated, "You! ! !"
Jacob came out of the bathroom and heard what Sara said. He felt stinging pain in his heart. It turned out that Sara didn't like him so much... So did she fall in love with someone else? Why would he feel sad when he heard these words? He didn't love her, but why did he want her caring about herself.
Four years was not a blink of an eye. Every day was full of meaning. When Jacob and Sara married, they have expectations each day. When Alice left him, Jacob was heartbroken. But when she came back, he didn't feel the tantamount happiness as his heartbroken. Not for any other reason, when you lose something, you will feel a long pain, and the feeling of losing and returning is just a kind of repair.
Repair would never be able to maintain the original state. After all, it could not be restored as before. Even if he had forgotten the hurt he had suffered, there was something that existed. Turning a blind eye to it did not mean that it really did not exist.
Jacob curled his lips and said nothing in the end. There was nothing for him to say at this moment.
Noticing that Jacob came out, Alice immediately ran up to him and asked, "Honey, have you taken a shower?"
Jacob nodded without saying anything.
After a short pause, Alice said, "Let's go back to our room." She spoke so loudly as if she wanted to be heard by Sara.
However, at this moment, Sara's door was closed. She couldn't hear anything because the sound- proofing was quite well.
One's biggest taboo should be self righteous. If someone couldn't even control the swelling of his self- confidence, then one day his confidence would be exposed and he would definitely be painful. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
After taking a shower, Sara lay on the bed and continued to read Abnormal Psychology. Only when she read books could she feel very calm. Whether it was impetuous or heartbroken, she would feel the charm of reading.
Alice's words really stung Sara. Sara had no strength to fight back, so should she just let Alice do whatever she wanted? Knowing that Jacob the most important in Alice's heart, she warned herself over and over again. Only Alice had the ability to do so.
After reading for a while, Sara felt sleepy and closed the book.
She has not menstruated for a long time. Was she in weaker healthy? Or did she get early menopause? Sara shivered. She wondered if she had suffered too much. Did it contribute to her health? Sara didn't dare to think about it anymore. After a long day, she gradually felt heavy and fell asleep.
Early in the morning, Sara finally regained a little vital energy. She looked energetic. After dressing up, she went downstairs for dinner. Jacob and Alice were already sitting at the table downstairs.
When the three had dinner at the same table, it was probably the most embarrassing moment of the day. Winnie glanced at the table from time to time and tried to put the food that Sara liked in front of her. Of course, Alice discovered it, but Jacob was also there, so she couldn't lose her temper. She only thought that she would fire this woman after she became Jacob's wife in the future.
But anyway, the food cooked by her was really delicious.
"There is a business party this weekend. Dad wants you to attend it." Jacob raised his eyes to look at Sara. Thinking of what she had said yesterday, he felt nervous.
Alice was shocked. Since they had divorced, Michael still took her as Jacob's legitimate wife.
"Jacob, I want to go too." Alice's coquettish tone was so disgusting that made her couldn't swallow the food in her mouth.
"No. Your identity hasn't been made public, and I haven't made the divorce news public either. If you show up, it will cause a great uproar. " Jacob looked embarrassed.
"Well, I understand you, Jacob." Alice said she understood, but she felt depressed in her heart. She only felt that the food in her mouth was tasteless.
After so much effort, Sara's role in the eyes of outsiders did not change at all. Sara was so lucky, but she might not be so lucky next time.
Sara didn't say anything to show her acquiescence. They had divorced, but she still had to act in front of others. Anyway, they were just acting, and it was impossible for them to be more brilliant at any time.
A myriad of thoughts crowded into her mind, but she pretended to be calm.
With a limited edition LV bag in her hand, Sara walked out of the villa in rhythmic steps. She hitchhiked Bess's car yesterday and didn't drive back, so she had to take a taxi to the company today. She waited at the gate for 5 minutes and finally got a taxi.
As soon as she arrived at the company, her assistant brought up the company's half year report for the first two quarters. Because Jacob had also lowered the company's profit, the company's profit margin in the second quarter had directly dropped 3 points, and the report result was a little bad.
Sara waved her hand, signaling her assistant to go back to work. Then she began to study the report carefully. It turned out that the company really couldn't leave the help of Jacob.
But from now on, Jacob would no longer help her. With the instigation of Alice, Sara couldn't imagine what would happen in the future.
After reading the sheets carefully for the whole morning, Sara couldn't help stretching herself. She took out her phone and viewed the moments of her WeChat. She found that Bess didn't post much recently. Although Bess didn't like to update her moments.
Maybe aloof people didn't like to post on wechat moments, thought Sara.
Her phone rang and it was from Ethan.
Sara pressed the answer button, "Hello, Mr. Ethan."
"Sara, are you free this noon. We should have a good talk about the contract. I found that there are some problems with the contract that we need to discuss. "
Sara cheered up, "Okay, Mr. Ethan. Send me the meeting place. I'll drive here. "
Ethan told her the name of a Thai restaurant. Through GPS navigation, Sara found the restaurant successfully. Ethan was waiting for her at the door.
After parking the car, Sara walked to Ethan. The two walked into the restaurant side by side. A stranger held a camera and pressed the shutter to take photos. Then he followed them into the restaurant.
Thailand's food was actually very delicious. It was famous for its color, aroma, and the first feature was sour and spicy. The chef of Thailand liked to use a variety of ingredients such as garlic, pepper, sour orange, fish dew, shrimp paste to seasoning and cooked a pot of sour and spicy Thai dishes.
