A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 30

Obviously, Jacob wouldn't take "no" for an answer; Emily had to bring it back to her apartment. When she opened the pack, the millet porridge was still steaming hot, and the smell of rice filled the entire room.

Emily took a few mouthfuls. Its mild flavour was just right for her appetite at that moment; it slowly helped her whole body warm up from within.

"Jacob..."

With the spoon still in her mouth, she called out his name. "What kind of a person are you?"

In the beginning, she always tried her best to stay away from Jacob. But now, their relationship became more and more complicated. 'What should I do? What is the right thing to do?' Emily sighed in frustration.

The next morning, Emily started her usual day by going straight to work.

After a gruelling period of work, the recruitment process of LA Jewelry had come to an end. Everyone was assigned their own duties, and the company had officially begun its operations.

However, the rich and powerful shareholder Victor had mentioned before never showed up. Emily was curious about who the mysterious sponsor really was.

It seemed like Victor did not care whether he would get the company's consular rights or not. During this period, he rarely showed up in the office. Basically, no matter what it was, everything was handled by Emily and Linda. In some cases, a few of the employees mistook them for the bosses.

If Victor did not want to make a profit from his company, then why did he establish the company in the first place? Maybe it's just another of his hobbies?

Linda's voice interrupted Emily's thoughts as she asked," Miss Bai, are the employees' health check-up files done yet?"

Emily quickly turned her head and smiled in response," I have sorted it all out. It is in my office. Should I send it to you later or would you like to go with me now to get it?"

Emily now had her own office. She was the general manager of the design department and the chief designer. She had her own team of designers, even though the team was still in the probationary period.

Therefore, policies were always beneficial to the senior staff. It was very easy to get promoted and earn more money. Victor was certainly a generous boss.

Linda thought for a moment, then replied," I will go with you."

So the two walked to Emily's office together.

"Mr. Gao really cares about the well-being of his employees," said Emily, as she casually handed over several folders containing all of the medical examination forms to Linda. Emily always addressed Victor differently at work.

Linda made an strange facial expression when she heard that; without saying anything else she just simply answered," Yes."

Emily, however, did not pay much attention to that. She sent Linda out, and continued to deal with the daily affairs of the company.

At noon, Emily habitually reached for her mobile phone to order a take-out for lunch. Before she even dialled the number, the phone on her desk started ringing.

Without second thought, she answered the phone and heard the sweet voice of the front desk receptionist," Manager Emily, there is a man in the hall who wants to see you."

A man?

Who?

In Emily's mind, the only man she could think of was Jacob. 'Is that really him?'

Emily didn't waste any time; she rushed out her office and took the elevator downstairs to the lobby on the first floor.

There was a tall man standing there, holding a bunch of red roses in one hand and a homely thermal box in the other.

Emily felt a bit of nervous at first, but when she saw who it was, her nerves calmed down at once, but at the same time, a strange sense of loss flashed through her mind.

"Sam, is that really you?"

Sam looked at her walking closer; he politely stepped forward and handed Emily the things he was carrying. Right when he was about to speak, the receptionist next to him blurted out, jokingly," Manager, is this your boyfriend?"

"No!"

Emily and Sam denied it in unison.

The receptionist, with an expression of "there must be something going on between the two", circled the both of them with a sly look on her face, she said," I understand."

Shortly afterwards, she walked away to the other side, as if to give Emily and Sam some time to be alone with each other.
