Jonas had been distracted and restless, which made him inefficient at work. This brought trouble for William but he didn't dare to tell Jonas that something was wrong. William was worried about the company. He was struggling hard to make things right.

The last stop for Melinda's promotion was A City's library. Many people from the publishing company had come to attend the promotion. Melinda's popularity elevated and she managed to win the hearts of many people.

The final stop was the most exciting place of all, so Melinda had saved the best for the last. People had lined up in a queue to get Melinda's signed copy of the books and the editors gave the orders in person. The assistant was happy to see that Melinda had received a lot of gifts from fans.

Melinda's hand became sore as she had been signing for two hours straight. Her right hand became jelly, so Melinda decided to take a break. She wished that she was ambidextrous; that way, she could switch between her hands to sign the copies.

"You've lost a lot of weight," the editor said.

"Will you allow me to take rest then?" Melinda asked, touching her hollow cheek.

She decided to start eating healthy, nutritious food after going home. Melinda's editor wasn't as worried as she used to be. She saw that Melinda was mentally sound and felt that was more important. She didn't want Melinda to have a mental breakdown as writing was a stressful job.

"You need to rest. Take a break today and remember to protect your hands. You've got to sign ten thousand copies in a couple of days," the editor said nonchalantly.

Melinda's books became popular on the Internet. The books on online shopping platforms soon ran out of copies as the demand for her books rose steadily. The publishing house had expedited the printing of the second batch.

Melinda couldn't help but groan when she heard that she had to sign another bunch of books. She rubbed her right wrist and thought that she needed to take care of it. Only then would she be able to sign the copies.

Once the promotion and signing of the books were over, the publishing company arranged a car to send her home. She didn't inform anyone that she would be coming back and everyone was surprised by her return.

They were unprepared.

Jonas was in the middle of an important meeting. As soon as he received the news of Melinda's arrival, he left the meeting halfway to see her. Aron made use of this opportunity to point out Jonas's inefficiency and unprofessionalism to the shareholders.

Nelson was happy to see Melinda. He was worried that she had lost a lot weight and became tanned.

"It must have been a tiring journey. I'll ask the servant to make your favorite dishes tonight." He smiled.

Nelson's concern made Melinda feel at home. She felt good to be with him after traveling all over the country. Melinda told Nelson about the trip and all the exciting things she had encountered. After talking to Nelson, Melinda went to her room to unpack. Although Melinda had taken just two bags with her, she returned with more bags that were brimming with gifts and goodies from her fans.

Melinda had already informed Gavin to customize a cabinet to hoard the gifts and letters. It took an hour for her to sort everything.

She took pictures of the gifts and posted on Weibo to express her gratitude to her fans. She posted a long message thanking her fans for their undying love and support. Melinda also informed them that she had returned home safe and sound.

Her post started to flood with comments and reposts. The fans' love and respect for Melinda grew multifold when they saw her protect and cherish the gifts.

When Jonas returned home, he went straight to Melinda's bedroom. He saw her checking her phone with a faint smile on her lips. His heart skipped a beat and he felt happy to see her smile after a long time.

He leaned against the doorframe and continued to stare at Melinda. When Melinda looked up, she saw Jonas looking at her. Their eyes locked and seemed to have a conversation of their own accord.
