A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 278

Things between Emily and Jacob were getting heated when suddenly, they were interrupted. Someone was knocking at the door!

"Oh, my! Someone is here!" Emily whispered. She tried to hide in Jacob's arms and conceal her red face.

Jacob pulled up his pants and straightened himself. "Yes?"

"It's me, Jennifer." Jennifer's voice came behind the door, "I am new here. So I was wondering if we can have dinner together and maybe you can tell me something about this city. Well, may I come in?"

"No, you may not." Jacob shut her down immediately.

"I'll wait for you outside then," Jennifer replied. She decided not to give up this time so easily!

Jacob ignored what she said and helped Emily fix herself. "Is there anything you would like to eat?"

"For starters, I am hungry," Emily replied, her face still flushed on what happened earlier.

"Then let's go out to eat something," Jacob wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"With Jennifer?" Emily asked with a hint of displeasure.

"Your call." Jacob smiled as he shrugged.

Emily thought for a while then spoke up, "Very well. We can take her with us."

She knew she couldn't avoid Jennifer forever. If Jennifer was into Jacob, she had no choice but to deal with her, and then Jennifer should know her place!

"You don't like her, do you?" Jacob gave an amused chuckle.

"Who said that that I didn't like her? I like her." Emily rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"It's obvious you don't." Jacob laughed and kissed her on the cheek. He tried to make out with her again but Emily covered his mouth. "Now, it's not the right time."

Jennifer just stood behind the door, waiting. What was taking him so long? Her high heels were starting to hurt again! Then she lifted her face when she heard the door open. She clicked her tongue when she saw Jacob and Emily being sweet towards each other. And she was green with envy when she realized what they had been doing inside from the smell in the office and Emily's flushing face.

She took a deep breath and flashed a fake smile in a fake enthusiastic voice. "Oh, I didn't expect that Ms. Emily would be here also!"

"Well, isn't it obvious?" Jacob replied sarcastically.

"Shall we go? Oh yeah, Magee is going with us, too." Jennifer said, grinning.

Magee Lin was a close friend of Jacob from S Country.

Jacob looked at Emily. "Well, do we still go?" "Of course," Emily replied. When Emily agreed, he gave a nod to Jennifer.

Jennifer felt her eyes throwing daggers at Emily. She had never seen Jacob like this. He never cared about anybody's opinions before and now, he asked Emily's opinion on almost everything! At first, she didn't believe the rumors of how Jacob was head over heels with a certain woman. But now, she could affirm it with her own eyes that Emily certainly had his affections all to herself.

"Looks like she got you wrapped around her little finger, huh?" Jennifer teased, trying not to make an awkward atmosphere.

Jacob laughed as he held Emily's hand, "I know but I'm happy. I have her and she has me!"

"Is that so?" Jennifer replied, not wanting to talk any further. She felt down and she couldn't help but feel envy towards Emily. She was such a lucky girl.

They rode inside the elevator and

Jacob walked out with an arm wrapped around Emily's shoulders. Jennifer followed them, feeling miserable.

Luckily, the restaurant Jennifer proposed was just a five-minute walk from the office.

Emily was a little bit nervous about meeting Jacob's friend. She wanted to say something but couldn't find the word. All she could do was clutch tighter at his right sleeve.

Jacob pulled her closer and whispered into her ear, "Don't worry. Magee is just a friend. You don't need to be nervous. Just relax, be yourself, and enjoy the meal."
