After Divorce, No Second Chance – Chapter 169

Live anymore

“Who told you that you’re Vienna’s sister? The green light is definitely on!” Jacob nodded with a smile.

“Yay!”

“Thank you, Mr. Jacob!”

Esper thanked him with a bright smile, clearly showing her lively personality.

“Just a small matter!” Jacob waved his hand nonchalantly.

“Mr. Jacob, I hope I won’t be a burden to you,” Vienna asked with some concern.

“I won’t.”

“I’m actually in need of people right now!”

Jacob shook his head. Currently, the CEO’s office had already confirmed three people, and with Lara’s temporary position, that made four.

However, since Lara was just a temporary position, only three could actually work, and then there were the two newcomers, Layla and Esper. Hmm, it seemed he must find a particularly capable director for the CEO’s office!

Jacob silently made up his mind.

“Mr. Jacob, when can I start working?” Esper asked eagerly.

“Tomorrow.”

“Ah, that’s great!”

Esper didn’t expect Mr. Jacob to be so efficient, and her face immediately lit up with a smile. “Mr. Jacob, which unit are we in? What will my specific position be?”

Esper was a very organized person and wanted to prepare in advance.

“Coastville Newspaper Group.”

“Assistant to the President,” Jacob replied truthfully.

“Ah??”

“Coastville Newspaper!!”

Esper was taken aback, her eyes widening in surprise. She had thought it would be a small company.

She never expected it to be such a large group with an official background!

“Mr. Jacob, are you sure I can do it?”

If it were just a small company, Esper felt she could handle it, but facing such a large group, she felt a bit anxious.

“I can’t judge whether you can handle it, but I can offer you this opportunity,” Jacob said.

“Mm-hmm, then I will definitely work hard and not let Mr. Jacob down!” Esper nodded seriously.

Jacob smiled and didn’t continue the topic. He had actually come over to increase his training intensity.

Because every time he finished fixing the range hood, he would lose quite a bit of weight.

This indicated that this work really burned fat.

What he didn’t expect was that with this purpose in mind, he unexpectedly gained a little assistant.

“Mr. Jacob, let’s talk about the business upstairs.”

Vienna, at her age, understood the statistics: the average life expectancy for men in the country is 70.31 years, while for women, it is 75.33 years.

Jacob felt that the reason men have a shorter lifespan is somewhat related to the crazy demands of women at this stage.

However, the conversation can go both ways.

Just like the soul-searching question in the first part of “If You Are the One”: Is that thing really that interesting?

Jacob’s answer was the same as Uncle Dude’s. It is interesting. So, one can’t blame women for this.

Who told you that you can’t even manage your own brothers! And at this moment, someone will always say with a straight face: It’s not that I don’t want to manage, it’s that my brother has his own ideas! So, Jacob and Vienna went upstairs together.

The seven private rooms in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet had already unlocked three, and today the two entered the [Blue] room.

Since her sister was downstairs, Vienna felt quite nervous.

But for Jacob, Esper being downstairs was like a buff; he was quite excited and deliberately increased the intensity. “Miss Aadhya, is that Mr. Jacob my sister’s boyfriend?”

Esper leaned over to the bar, eavesdropping on her sister and that Mr. Jacob’s gossip.

“Should be, right?”

Actually, Aadhya didn’t know what their relationship was, but she remembered that they came together on the day she worked at the store.

As a worker, she didn’t dare to pry into her boss’s private matters, especially since she wasn’t familiar with them yet. However, through her observations with another employee, Werma, they concluded that the two were likely in a romantic relationship.

Even if they weren’t officially a couple, they definitely had a close friendship, because that Mr. Jacob had come to the store yesterday and went upstairs with the boss to discuss work, but the process seemed quite intense. Aadhya and Werma could hear the sounds of tables and chairs colliding from downstairs, and occasionally they would hear the boss shouting.

It must have been a difficult negotiation, leading to a dispute! “Adult relationships are very complicated; whether or not they are a couple isn’t really important,” Werma whispered.

Esper nodded slightly, understanding her sister’s relationship with that Mr. Jacob.

Not quite a brother-in-law.

More like a “temporary brother-in-law” relationship.

Esper understood her sister’s choice; she already knew about her sister’s divorce from her ex-brother-in-law and firmly supported her sister.

Because she had long felt that the ex-brother-in-law had character issues.

During the summer vacation of her sophomore year, she visited her sister’s house, and that ex-brother-in-law’s gaze kept wandering over her, and he was overly attentive.

A man’s lustful intentions can usually be sensed, and Esper received the signal, which scared her so much that she didn’t dare to visit her sister’s house again.

But she couldn’t tell her sister about this, as there was no evidence, and their marriage seemed fine on the surface.

While the three were quietly gossiping, a couple-like pair of customers entered the store.

Aadhya and Werma immediately greeted them, while Esper returned to her original position and began searching for information about the Coastville Newspaper Group online.

The couple ordered two cups of coffee and two small snacks, then headed straight upstairs.

Clearly, they were not first-time visitors to this store, knowing that the upstairs had more private rooms, making it more suitable for dates than downstairs.

Watching the couple go upstairs, Aadhya couldn’t help but feel anxious for her boss and that Mr. Jacob, thinking that if someone interrupted, the negotiation wouldn’t go smoothly!

Clearly, this inexperienced employee still didn’t understand the purpose of Mrs. Violet arranging for her to go upstairs every so often that day.

If that color sister were there, she would have personally escorted the couple upstairs and walked a couple of circles in front of the private room in her high heels. The couple chose the [Purple] room adjacent to the [Blue] room.

Once inside, they cuddled up together, which was just normal interaction for a couple.

However, after a while, they felt that the atmosphere next door was a bit off, and under that kind of ambiance, their interaction naturally intensified. By the time Aadhya finished serving coffee and desserts and left, the couple had completely let loose! Come on!

Mutually harm each other! Let’s see which room’s negotiation is more intense! However, this young man in his early twenties clearly had no experience with this kind of thing, and under multiple buffs, he surrendered in no time. “Hmm, I’m a bit tired, not in the mood.”

Although he was only in his twenties, the young man had already mastered the common phrases used by men.

His girlfriend, however, was very considerate, smiling and complimenting, “You did great!”

Although she said this, her gaze couldn’t help but drift towards the shared wall of the two private rooms.

She was curious about the scene behind the wall. About twenty minutes later.

The storm had passed.

The young man let out a sigh, cursing inwardly: Damn, finally over!

Now even this kind of thing is included, right!

Is there no room for people to live anymore!!

He cursed in his heart, then heard the sound of the door opening next door; someone had left.

However, moments later.

A waitress knocked on their private room door, bringing in a fruit platter.

“Beautiful lady, did you deliver it to the wrong room?”
