A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 112

Emily was nonplussed, but she did not refute because Jacob had a point. Quietly and slowly, she was about to chang her shoes.

Jacob looked at her heel, which had scraped a bit of skin off, and frowned. "No need to change your shoes," he said.

"Eh?"

Emily was somewhat puzzled. "Then I am... not suited for the occasion?" she asked.

"If I say it's okay, then it is okay," Jacob asserted.

Emily,"......"

The time for the meeting was fast approaching.

When Emily stepped into the conference room, all the eyes fixated on her, making her feel pressured and uncomfortable.

At the same time, the chief executives sitting in the conference room were all shocked to see her there. How could Jacob bring his woman to the meeting! And this woman came in with an unkept hair and a pair of slippers!

How arrogant?!

Emily was still inexperienced. While the people who were present there were all seasoned professionals. Their eyes pressed against her, as if to choke her. She was sweating profusely as she cast a short glance at Jacob, like a helpless animal asking for help.

Jacob's heart softened at the sight of her desperation. He waved at her and said,"Come here."

Emily looked down at her feet, and took small steps to walk towards him, before she sat down right next to Jacob.

On the surface, these chief executives looked calm, but on the inside, they were all shocked. Soon they all came to the same conclusion that this woman meant a lot to Jacob.

Therefore, even if they were dissatisfied with her attire, they could only turn a blind eye to their concerns.

However, Jack could not keep himself calm.

The moment Emily came in, his gaze fell on her, almost without a conscious thought. After discovering that she had changed her clothes, his heart burned with intense passion.

Emily, however, did not notice Jack when she came in. From time to time she would peek at Jacob, with a look of dependence on her face, which made Jack even more angry!

Who the hell was Jacob! Jack wanted to make Emily regret choosing Jacob over him!

After everyone settled in, the meeting finally commenced.

Emily sat next to Jacob. She knew that her duty was to write down the key contents of the meeting. Soon, however, she was overwhelmed by the new and unfamiliar terms that came at her one after another. Clueless, she felt like her head was going to explode.

Most of the people there assumed that she was Jacob's woman, and that she was just there to play around, so they did not pay any attention to what she was doing.

Emily bit her lip and just wrote down random things. When she raised her head and looked at Jacob, his eyes were deeper than the abyss. Emily was suffocating under the pressure.

By then she was already prepared for Jacob to scold her, but she didn't expect him to quickly shift his gaze from her. Disconcerted, Emily couldn't tell from his expression, whether he was angry or not.

Emily was not brave enough to look up again, she just lowered her head and sat there quietly. Eventually, she noticed that the rhythm of the meeting slowed down considerably from how it was in the beginning. It was almost as if someone was deliberately controlling it to be so.

Although, her head was still in the fog, her heart was moved. Was Jacob helping her?

Emily couldn't tell for sure, and neither could the others, as they followed him instinctively. Jack's face was calm, but his hands were clenched tight under the table. His eyes, black as coal, pierced through Emily, as if he wanted to see through her soul.

"What is your opinion, General Manager Jack?" asked Jacob. The voice of Jacob rang in Jack's ears, steady and imperturbable.

Jack retracted his gaze from Emily and looked at Jacob. The haze in his eyes dissipated in an instant. He couldn't stand Jacob's smug expression. Jacob hardly ever regarded him as a competent associate. He looked at Jack as if he were looking at a negligible ant.
