Chapter 187 Rumors (1/2)
When the dishes and the barbecue were served, Victor had two empty bottles in front of him, and Melinda had only drunk less than a fifth of one bottle.
”I don't know why I want to drink today. Do you mind?” After these words, Victor poured another glass of beer for himself. He really wanted to drink, and Melinda didn't mind it at all. She could drink as much as she wanted.
Melinda shook her head and clenched the glass in her hand. She had a feeling that Victor had something on his mind.
”Actually, today is my wedding anniversary with my ex-wife.” Victor's voice sounded a little sullen. He lowered his head and drank another glass of beer. Then, with a bitter smile, he saw a surprised look on Melinda's face and asked, ”What's that look on your face?”
Melinda's eyes were full of curiosity and confusion. As a playboy, it seemed to be a very difficult thing for Victor to settle down and get married.
Therefore, Melinda had never thought that Victor had been married, and had been divorced. When he talked about his ex-wife, she had an unspeakable feeling.
She was confused, and the feeling was like sentimental, or relieved, or something else.
”No, I'm just a little surprised.” Melinda shook her head, telling him her true thoughts. But Victor didn't mind at all. ”Don't be so surprised. I'm a divorced man as well.”
Melinda felt that her marriage was like a child's play. Two marriages were both a combination of benefits, and there was no so-called love, which led her to a very vague concept of marriage.
Just like what Jonas had done, Victor might have got married for family's rights or other reasons.
Melinda poured herself a glass of beer and clinked glasses with Victor. Both of them smiled knowingly.
The talk that night also made Melinda have a great view of her leader.
The next day, as soon as Melinda arrived at the office, she heard Victor's somewhat excited voice. ”Melinda, come and see if this is your first draft.”
Last night, Victor spent a whole night talking with a young man in the technology department. The young man had told him many ways to solve the problem. Earlier this morning, he couldn't wait to go to the company and have a try. To his surprise, he found the first draft.
”The first draft?”
Melinda couldn't help quickening her pace. Looking at the documents and pictures on the computer, she was sure that this was her first draft. At that time, the content of the speech was generally limited, not detailed, but the contents that should be expressed were very clear.
”That's right. How did you find that out?” After reading through the documents, Melinda repressed the ecstasy in her heart and asked. But Victor only said casually, ”I had a try by the way that someone told me.”
