Chapter 17
Under Jordan’s pressure, everyone in the company rushed to submit a bid to the client in order to keep their jobs.
However, being rushed in such a short period of time and lacking experience in the project, this bidding document was full of loopholes.
Naturally, the Tye Group lost the bid.
Jordan had a gloomy face and he got really angry at the company, and he even cut everyone’s salary.
This also made the company employees very dissatisfied. Can we blame them for not winning the bid? With such last–minute orders, it’s already good enough if they can write it out, let alone winning it.
Isn’t this a problem of the boss’s command? Now it’s all blamed on them.
They thought, if it weren’t for Jordan constantly flirting with Danica and not caring about the company’s business, and also forcing Melanie to leave, would it have evolved into such a result?
In addition, Danica, who became Mrs. Tye, would wear expensive jewelry and carry designer handbags all the time. She would occasionally appear at the company, asserting her authority as the boss’s wife.
The resentment of the crowd grew heavier.
Some tough–minded technicians resigned decisively, and the remaining people are also looking for new opportunities.
Jordan was not aware of the seriousness of the problem.
He only thought, just leave, the company can still operate even if someone is missing.
Since he was able to establish the Tye Group, it is evident that he possessed leadership skills and a keen sense for projects.
Having lost this project, I could also do other projects in the future.
But Jordan didn’t think about it, many things before were handled by Melanie, the matters on the project were also discussed by him and Melanie together.
Now without Melanie, many of his shortcomings in handling things have been exposed.
In order to prove himself and make up for the missed opportunity, Jordan quickly invested in a project.
Without even going through multiple rounds of investigation.
His impatience for quick profits caused the Tye Group to suffer a significant loss, and the turnover of funds became a problem.
Just as Jordan was at his wit’s end, Danica showed no understanding or sympathy towards him.
He only kept asking him for various luxury goods.
And Danica’s appetite had been growing bigger and bigger with his indulgence.
From the initial designer handbags to the later limited edition sports cars, and then to the unexpectedly high–value jewelry at the auction.
In the situation of tight company funds, every time the sound of a credit card message rang, it gave Jordan a splitting headache.
Jordan also tried to communicate with Danica, saying that the company was facing a crisis and asking her to save some of her usual expenses. He explained that luxury items were not essential and could be temporarily avoided.
But Danica, on the other hand, persistently accused him of being stingy and unwilling to spend money on himself, stubbornly claiming that this amount of money clearly meant nothing to such a big company like the Tye Group.
Danica never cooked either. Every time Jordan came home, Danica would naturally have him order takeout.
She said in a familiar tone that Jordan was used to, “Oh honey, you know I’m clumsy. What if I burn myself while cooking? It would definitely hurt. And the smell of cooking is so strong, I don’t want to become an old hag! Just order whatever you want to eat, I’m sure the chef’s cooking is better than
mine.”
When Jordan returned, he could only see Danica’s sleeping face.
Smelling the smell of tobacco and alcohol on him, Danica would only wrinkle her nose in disgust and say, “It stinks!” She would complain about why he had to come back so late, not being able to spend more time with her, and even affecting her rest.
In the exhausted life, Jordan experienced intense regret for the first time.
When Melanie was around, Jordan would come home to a hot meal. Melanie would smile and hand him a bowl and a fork, saying, “Come and taste it, it’s all your favorite dishes. You work so hard, so eat more! The food outside is not as clean as the one we make at home, and considering your weak stomach, you should be more careful.”
When Jordan used to get drunk at social gatherings, there would always be a light waiting for him at home.

The moment he pushed the door open and entered, Melanie smiled at him with sleepy eyes and went to the kitchen to make him a hangover soup.
In the past, Jordan always felt that Melanie made a mountain out of a molehill, like a nagging housewife who annoyed people.
It is only now that I realize how profound the love was, as it had been for decades.
Jordan’s eyes slowly turned red, he really missed Melanie.
Meanwhile, Melanie, who lived far away in Lenonpool, was living a happy life after getting married.
Colin appeared cold and dominant to outsiders, but he was always attentive and considerate to his wife, Melanie.
Whatever Melanie looked at, would appear in front of her the next day.
Melanie said a sentence without even remembering it herself, but Colin kept it in his heart and fulfilled each one for Melanie.
The latest runway clothes, haute couture, would always be delivered to Melanie’s wardrobe by dedicated personnel as soon as they were released.
All kinds of luxury cars were specially customized for Melanie. At the auction, a fortune was spent to buy billions worth of diamonds for Melanie, as long as she was happy.
The manor was filled with roses that Melanie liked, and there were dedicated servants to take care of them every day.
The family also hired a Michelin five–star chef to take charge of cooking at home because Colin didn’t want Melanie to be too tired.
But Melanie occasionally cooked, and he would carefully taste it, greatly praise it, kiss Melanie’s forehead, and softly say that she had worked hard.
Colin always informed Melanie whenever he went out, and whenever he had time, he would accompany Melanie, whether it was to read books or go shopping. He never got tired of it, as if he simply wanted to be with Melanie.
Colin and Jordan were completely different. Colin could see every effort Melanie made and was deeply moved by it, providing her with a sense of security and significance.
Their love was a fairytale that was envied by those around them.
In this relationship, Melanie felt the beauty and warmth of love, and the old scars gradually healed.
