A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1478

Fortunately, Emily had figured things out. She knew that whatever Jacob said and did was for her own good, but she had been in denial from the start. She had brought this upon herself, so when Jacob brought it up again, she no longer reacted the way that she had in the past.

"I see." Emily nodded obediently. "I will distance myself from Jonas in the future."

"Really?" Jacob was ecstatic.

"Yes," Emily said and nodded again.

This way, everyone was happy.

It seemed that all of Jacob's hard work had finally paid off. Faking an illness had solved two big problems at once.

Until the following day, Jacob felt overjoyed. At the company, he could not wipe the smile off of his face, and he actually greeted his employees for a change. This intrigued everyone in the company. All around him, people made jokes about how the sun had probably risen in the west that morning.

Of course, in addition to discussions about the sun's rising, other things were on everyone's lips.

"He's so handsome!"

"That's right! Such a good-looking man, with business skills to match!"

"Who would have thought that such an attractive, successful man would notice me and smile at me?

I'm so happy!"

That day, Jacob's out-of-character greetings and smiles made many people feel like they were going to pass out.

Sam was one of those who received one of Jacob's rare smiles. Although he saw these more often than others did, he knew that it was different this time. He knew why the man looked so happy. After all, he was the one who had booked the hospital room and informed Emily about it. Now seemed to be the perfect time to make the request he had long wanted to make.

"I was wondering, may I take some time off work to travel?" Jacob nodded slightly at this. "Okay. What else do you want?"

Sam was taken aback. He had not expected Jacob to actually agree. He immediately continued, "Honestly, I want to travel a bit and meet someone, probably get a girlfriend."

"You want a girlfriend?" Jacob asked, nodding again. "Okay, I see. What else?"

Sam, who had been blinded by joy just moments ago, suddenly noticed that the smile on Jacob's face no longer seemed that genuine. He swallowed hard. "That's all."

"Nothing else?" Jacob raised an eyebrow before he continued, "Then you can start your journey."

"Can I really do that?" Sam asked, looking uncertain.

"Of course, but if you go, make sure that you don't come back."

'I knew it, ' Sam thought.

"Maybe there are super VIP rooms to book where you're going,"

Jacob continued just when Sam thought that the conversation was over.
