A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 140

Emily didn't think that Victor had a crush on her, but she still wanted to clarify the matter and keep her distance from him.

During the following noon, Emily was so tired that she couldn't keep her eyes open. The girl stretched a bit her long and thin arms, laid her head on the office desk and fell asleep almost immediately. At the same time, without her noticing, someone pushed the door of her office open and got inside.

Victor was standing in front of the desk, looking at Emily. His upper lip trembled slightly. In his eyes, there were no emotions.

After a little while, Victor got closer to Emily in the intent to wake her up. He tapped her face with his finger,"Emily?"

Not getting any answers, Victor decided it was better for him to leave since she must have been very tired to be sleeping like that. So, he took off his coat and gently covered Emily's body. Then he left and slowly closed the door.

"Pa!" When the door closed, Emily woke up and her eyes were lucid and very emotional.

When she was fully awake then realized that Victor called her name. At first, she thought that the voice, so gentle and pleasant, was coming from a dream.

Victor... What did that mean?

Emily licked her lips and took off the coat from her back. Her expression was a mixture of contrasting sentiments.

Soon was evening, and as always, Emily was the last to leave the company, and so was Victor. The two people met in the hallway.

"Mr. Victor, you forgot your coat." After a few seconds of hesitation, she timidly handed the coat to him and then said,"You did not have to do it, Mr. Victor. You should have just woke me up."

The man took the coat from her hands. His expression was as cold as a snow mountain.

He folded the coat over his lower arm, then chuckled and asked,"You didn't like it?"

Emily said without any further hesitation,"I didn't like it."

Victor was struck by her coldness,"I don't believe you."

Emily was suddenly pressed against the wall. Her big eyes flashed with surprise and fear.

"Mr. Victor, you..."

"I like you, Don't you know it?" said Victor, looking directly into her eyes. His voice was soft but determined.

Emily was stunned by this news, and she could not believe that this was real. She stuttered,"I...I don't know... Mr. Victor... no kiddings..."

She was sure that Victor did not like her before he went abroad. Then, now that he was back and the situation changed all of a sudden. How can this be possible?

Emily was shocked.

"I never kid." Victor sounded very serious, Emily couldn't believe what was happening. "You liked me before, right? Do you still like me now? It is your chance," he said.

"But that was just politeness and respect for one of my superiors. I don't have any other thoughts for you!" Emily explained briefly.

Victor's face darkened as she was speaking. "And I already like someone. I... I've been with Jacob, so..."

As she spoke, she tried to get out of that man's grip, but he was strong and kept her still easily. He was holding her with one hand around the waist and the other pressed against her arms.

The two got... more and more closer.

"Mr. Victor..." Emily was struggling to get away from him, but still couldn't.

"Don't move." Victor smiled,"It is getting more intimate. Don't you think so?"

Emily stiffened. She looked up at his face. It was not the same Victor she used to know. "Jacob is your friend, and you shouldn't do this, Mr. Victor. Just let me go."
