A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 105

The servants all kept quiet for a few seconds, and then one of them spoke up,"We are going to tell Mr. Gu the truth unless you pay us three times of our salary. Zola, you will fall on hard times in due course."

"Fine, three times it is. I am going to pay you now!" yelled Zola. It was her duty to pay the servants. Zola had to make compromises with them and pay them what they had asked for, regardless of whether she was angry or not.

Meanwhile, Jacob and Emily were upstairs.

"Are you unhappy?" asked Jacob suddenly, as he looked into Emily's eyes.

Emily shook her head and answered with a slight smile on her lips,"No, I am fine."

Emily thought that it was quite normal for the servants to misunderstand her as a vain and mammonist woman. If she were in their shoes, she might have felt the same way as they did.

What about Jacob? What did he think of her?

Jacob gazed deeply into Emily's eyes, as if he was trying to read her mind. "You don't have to pay attention to what others say. I believe you.

People should live for themselves, not for others. Find joy in your own life. The most important thing is to have a clear conscience," said Jacob.

"Have a clear conscience..." Emily repeated his words contemplatively. The doubts in her mind were eventually diminished, and finally she said,"I understand now."

Jacob was a mature man with an outstanding faculty, charming personality and a profound understanding of life, who could always make her understand the things that she did not understand before.

Emily had a smile on her face as Jacob squeezed her rosy cheeks with great pleasure.

Since the two of them got together, Jacob would take care of all her necessities, such as her food, clothes, shelter, transportation and even her emotional problems. He would solve all of her troubles without hesitation.

Jacob felt like the responsibility of taking care of Emily rested upon him, because she was his girl.

"When you are feeling better, you should come to the Gu Consortium," he said.

Emily was somewhat confused with his words and asked,"What am I going to do in your company?"

"Work," replied Jacob, nonchalantly.

"But… I don't know anything about your company!" Emily replied, sounding concerned. Emily's major was in jewelry design, and she knew nothing about other occupations.

Jacob gazed deeply into her eyes and said seriously,"I can teach you. People of your caliber shouldn't stay in a small company like LA."

As a matter of fact, Jacob had deliberately inspected Emily's previous work and found that she had special talents in management. Until now, she didn't know about her other talents because she was only devoted to jewelry design.

Jacob did not want to let her talents go to waste. Of course, he also had a little bit of selfishness as he wanted her to be close to him all the time.

Emily was hesitant about Jacob's suggestion,"But I like working in the LA Company."

"So you don't want to get revenge on Jack?" Jacob reminded her in a cold tone. Suddenly, Emily became clear-headed.

Although, she hadn't exacted revenge upon Jack yet, her resolve was strengthened by Jacob. Jack was a wretched man who had gotten away with all the pain he had put her through time and time again, without consequence.

"You have to be the one to lever him out of his job as head of the Gu Consortium. That would be the most fitting punishment for him. If you still remain in the LA Company, you will never have the chance to do so," said Jacob, as he led her on systematically.

Emily grew silent, as she found herself at an impasse, unable to take a leap of faith.

Keep working at her dream or take revenge on Jack, what was she to choose?

Jacob saw through her qualms and said meaningfully,"You don't need to give up anything. I will have people manage the LA Company in your absence. You can still design jewelry in the future. The only thing you need to do now is to acquire more skills and move your office from the LA Company to my company."

It was always like that. Jacob was doing something good for her, but she didn't know how to repay him.
