My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore

Chapter 57

Genevieve was someone of gratitude.

Kimberly gave herself a fair explanation for the plagiarism incident, which allowed her to continue with

her path in design.

Aside from striving to produce the best design nowadays, she had no other demands.

As such, she led a monotonous life in which working overtime became her norm.

Nonetheless, she didn’t harbor any feelings of bitterness.

It was another usual night of her working overtime where everyone had all gone home early.

While she’d assumed she was the only one remaining in the office, she was surprised to find that

Jonah, her colleague from the same department, was there too. She was slightly caught off guard by

that.

Jonah deliberately walked over when he detected her surprise. “Genevieve, are you working overtime

today?”

It seemed like Jonah was trying to get close to her.

“Yes.” Genevieve was clearly extremely busy and had no desire to spend too much time. talking.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to work overtime.

Although some of her work could be completed at home, she felt like doing so was less efficient.

As a result, she became a regular who worked overtime at Larson Corporation.

Jonah was a little lost in thought as he took in how hard at work Genevieve was. There weren’t many

women who regarded their jobs so seriously these days.

If it hadn’t been for Whitney’s blackmail, he wouldn’t have brought himself to steal her work.

An incident like that might have marked the end of a designer’s future in their career forever.

He sat at his office table and pretended to be occupied. The truth, however, was that he alternated

between daydreaming and glancing at Genevieve from the corner of his eye. Jonah went downstairs to

buy some supper at eight in the evening

11:23 Wed, 24 Jan

Chapter 57

He intentionally bought a cup of milkshake for Genevieve since he knew that most girls were fond of

the drink.

“Here, have a milkshake so that you’ll have more energy to work.”

Genevieve gradually let her guard down against Jonah after spending several hours with him.

Thus, she began conversing with him as she relaxed..

“I rarely see you working overtime. Is there something important you have to complete urgently these

days?”

Jonah seized the opportunity to begin flattering her again. “How can I compare myself with you? The

CEO trusts you, and you are well-known throughout our company. I only have to complete some odd

jobs here and there. Yet, I stayed overtime as I live by the belief of not putting off until tomorrow what

can be done today. How about you? Is your design draft finished? Why do I keep hearing that you

always work overtime at night? This must be hard on you. A beautiful girl like you should be going on

dates in the evening, after all.”

Jonah observed Genevieve’s expression while speaking. He didn’t expect her to be embarrassed by

his words and for her cars to turn pink.

He felt so guilty right then and thought how wonderful it’d be if he could marry such a nice girl before

proceeding to stare at Genevieve as if love-struck.

Genevieve felt his heated gaze on her, which caused her heartbeat to speed up wildly.

She was flustered and made up an excuse to use the restroom.

Jonah deliberately tampered with Genevieve’s computer so that it crashed during her absence.

He then returned to his office table and pretended to be busy.

Genevieve went into a panic in front of the computer after coming back from the

restroom.

She tried pressing some buttons one moment and disconnecting her power source to restart her

computer the next.

Alas, they were all for naught.

She was in such a state of panic that she was on the verge of tears.

Genevieve suddenly thought about how Jonah seemed knowledgeable about computers and asked for

his assistance.

Clupter 57

Jonah had almost run out of patience at his seat and was relieved at finally succeeding after sitting by

for so long.

He walked up to Genevieve’s computer and made a convincing show of inspecting it. “Your system has

crashed. You’ll need to reinstall it.”

Genevieve was dumbfounded as this was new to her.

She humbly requested, “Would it be possible if you help me do it?”

Jonah burst out laughing at how adorable she seemed. “It’s no big deal. You don’t have to be so

serious.”

Jonah went back to his office table and scoured around from a black flash drive.

He plugged the flash drive into Genevieve’s mainframe and reinstalled her system. while making a

copy of all the data in it at the same time.

However, Genevieve didn’t notice anything fishy about it.

‘What a silly woman she is for feeling gratitude toward someone scheming against her!”

Jonah warned to clear his name, “The way your computer crashed is slightly suspicious. I wonder if it’s

been hacked by the hacker. You should get the help of an expert to install a stronger anti-virus for you

next time. It’s terribly risky if your computer’s safety is compromised in our line of work.”

Jonah went home with the black flash drive.

He turned on his computer and copied all the data within it to his computer and soon found

Genevieve’s design draft. He then gave Whitney a call.

She began bombarding him before he could speak.

Whitney was exceptionally sensitive toward phones recently and became paranoid whenever she

heard a phone ring.

Her temper rose after receiving a fright from Jonah’s late-night call.

“If you’ve so much free time to call me, are you confident in getting the stuff by noon tomorrow?”

Jonah was queasy and wondered why there was so much of a contrast between women.

Unlike Genevieve, who was capable, kind, and gentle as a lamb, the person on the other end of the

line was shrewish, unreasonable, and evil like a lioness.

Despite that, he wisely kept his complaints to himself.

Besides, he still had to present himself as Whitney’s loyal follower. “My goodness, who stepped on your

toes again? Why is your temper still so foul at such a late hour? Of course, it’s because I have

something important to inform you. Otherwise, how would I dare to disturb your rest?”

Whitney’s anger had almost completely dissipated by then.

She inquired out of curiosity, “Do you have any good news? Don’t string me along and spit it out.”

Jonah dared not beat around the bush as he wasn’t keen on causing himself even more temple by

irritating her once more.

“I’ve sent it to your email. Check it and remember to clearly record it.”

Whitney hadn’t foreseen Jonah to be so efficient.

She’d assumed that expecting it to be done by tomorrow was rather tight for him.

Thus, she saw him in a new light this time around.

“Well done. 200 thousand dollars will be transferred to your bank account later.”

He would typically be over the moon after easily obtaining such an amount to keep him afloat in the

capital market.

Yet, he was wracked with guilt.

He feared imagining what he would do when he encountered Genevieve again.

This woman who’d entered Larson Corporation based on her talent with much difficulty would not have

expected to be ruined by his own hands.

‘What a pity. Guess I’m going to lose sleep again tonight.”

Jonah also began feeling anxious about whether he could bear the consequences if Whitney’s scheme

were exposed.

He was so overcome with remorse that he opened a bottle of wine in the liquor cabinet

in the end.

At that point, only alcohol could grant him reprieve temporarily.
