Come back, My Ex-Wife novel Chapter 7

Sara raised her head and looked at Alice with an indulgent smile. "There's no point in telling me about it. Jacob is not as good as you think. I know you like him and I couldn't care less."

Her words stung Alice where it hurt her the most. Sara was determined not to bow down to the likes of her.

All of a sudden, Alice burst into laughter, approaching Sara. She whispered in her ear, "Even if you like Jacob, he doesn't like you at all. Unfortunately, you don't stand a chance. So quit being whiny and jealous."

Saying that, she looked at Sara and gave her a smug smile.

Sara could barely hold her smile any longer, but she reminded herself not to lose her cool, for she would lose if she did.

She looked up at Alice and said with a sneer, "How can you be so sure that I don't stand a chance? Don't forget that I'm still his legitimate wife. We've been married for four years. Do you really think nothing happened between us during that time?"

Just like Sara had imagined, as soon as she finished her words, Alice's expression changed. "You—" She was about to say something, but someone interrupted her.

"Miss Sara, our CEO has requested you to come to the conference room," the girl with the ponytail said. She seemed stunned to see Alice, but then she smiled politely at Sara and escorted her to the conference room.

When Sara walked past, Alice felt as though her heart had been ripped into pieces. Sara walked triumphantly like she'd just won a battle.

Mr. Walter was in the conference room, but Jacob wasn't there.

"Miss Sara, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's talk about this specific cooperation plan first. Our president is currently busy. He will join us later," Mr. Walter said.

He was a very polite man. Since he still didn't know of Sara and Jacob's divorce, he showed great kindness towards her.

Without making conventional remarks, Sara got straight to the point and showed her strategy to everyone present there. "The following plan is for a project in which our company wants to collaborate with your company. I'll introduce the specific content to you shortly," she said confidently.

Sara was a hard working woman, and the people around looked at her with admiration. They had been skeptical about this plan at first, and thought she must be playing tricks on them, but watching her talk with great confidence inspired them.

After she was done with the presentation, Sara was exhausted.

"Ma'am, I..." When Mr. Walter saw that everyone had left the conference room, he walked up to Sara and tried to get on her good side.

With a wave of her hand, Sara said, "Just call me Sara. You may go now. Don't disturb me. I know this place like the back of my hand."

In the past, she had often come to the company with Jacob, to show everyone how much they "loved" each other.

Mr. Walter hesitated for a moment before he stepped out of the room.

Then, Sara neatly arranged the documents in order.

After she was done, she leaned against the chair in the conference room, completely exhausted. Back then, Jacob had used to appreciate her efforts so much. He had even liked watching her work. But now, no one seemed to care.

No matter what, Sara felt she had to be professional when she dealt with Jacob. After being married to him for four years, she knew that he was very particular about work. She doubted if he would even accept the plan she'd devised. She had no clue about what to do in case he deliberately tried to make things difficult for her.

With that thought, Sara stood up and walked out of the conference room. To her annoyance, she saw Alice standing there with a mischievous smile, holding a coffee mug in her hand.

Sara loathed Alice. She hated the fact that as long as she transacted business with Jacob's company, she'd have to face Alice every time she went there.

Alice walked up to her and batted her eyelashes.
