"Don't you have any reaction at all?"
Tina looked at Emily with disbelief. Her eyes grew wide, trying to understand the emotions on Emily's face. But she failed and felt disappointed.
And that was because Emily was too calm.
"What reaction?" asked Emily. She paused for a short while and continued," Best wishes to your marriage and many years of happiness for the two of you?"
Emily suddenly realized and found that she was good at disguising herself in front of the others.
Emily didn't know why. She didn't want to show her vulnerable part in front of Tina. And Emily didn't want Tina to see her getting giddy with success of teasing her...
"You……"
Don't you like Jacob?"
Tina had some confusions on her mind and was surprised, but soon she understood," I know it! You are with Jacob just for money!"
"You think I am like that, then that's who I am."
The voice of Emily suddenly fell, and the door of the office was opened from the outside. Jacob stood at the door, with an expressionless face. Nobody knew if he had heard their whole conversation.
Tina reacted at once, and she said with a big smile. "Jacob, you are back?"
Jacob already knew what Mr. Gu was thinking. Since Tina liked to come close to him that much, he would let her be a shield. "Why are you here?" he asked.
"I am waiting for you. Let's go out for dinner together, okay?"
Tina was absolutely patient and tolerant towards Jacob. Even if Jacob treated her bad, she was still so attached to him and never gave up.
"Not available today."
Although Jacob was talking to Tina, his eyes fell straight on Emily.
Tina was obviously unhappy with Jacobs reply. But she had already learned how to be smart and to avoid any conflict with others as much as possible. "Well, I will wait until you have time to eat together with me."
Anyway, now that she already entered his world. They would meet often and frequently. There was a long time for them and for Tina to get Jacob's attention. At least that was what she thought.
Jacob did not considered her request but said," Now go out first."
Tina bit her lip and looked at Emily with disliked. In the end, she obeyed him and went out.
There were only two people left in the office, Jacob and Emily.
"Come here."
Jacob's eyes were dark.
Emily heard his tone and could not help but feel a little bit nervous. She walk slowly toward him. And just as soon as she reached him, Jacob pushed her against the door.
She looked up at Jacob in fright and met the man's deep, black eyes. She knew that he had heard their conversion and it made him so angry.
"Is it so difficult to admit that you like me?"
If she really liked money, she won't be like this now, and he didn't have to put too much effort on her.
Jacob slowly stressed each and every syllable. Those words were like arrows piercing the heart of Emily, and it was faintly hurt. She was stunned for a few seconds, and answered with a lowly voice," It is very difficult."
How could she let him know her feelings? If possible, Emily hoped that Jacob would not be so nice to her, so that she would not fall far into such situation.
She didn't dare to have feelings or like this man, because their status were far from each other. There would never be any good out of it.
Tina's words were like a cold water that woke her up. She discovered that the hidden inferiority that has been buried deep in her heart for so long had grew quietly since she met Jacob.
