"Is that so? What kind of struggles do you ordinary people face? I got divorced before I joined this company because my ex-wife cheated on me. I couldn't stay there, so I moved here." When Jacob said this, I was drinking a drink and I almost choked to death.

I didn't expect this cold man was married! I was shocked.

"Don't get too excited," he laughed.

I felt like I'd just learned a massive piece of gossip. I wanted to ask if the other guy was somehow better than him, but held back. This composed, decisive leader had quietly endured his ordeal and walked away.

"My ex-husband tricked me into signing over our joint property to him and now he's married his mistress and transferred the property to her," I confessed. Since Mr. Elody was honest with me, I decided to told him the truth.

"No wonder you're my subordinate, your situation is similar to mine," he said, genuinely surprising me.

"Did you get your property back?" I asked.

He shook his head. "I have more than one property. I considered it fulfilling a duty and gave it to her." Of course, he wasn't like ordinary people.
