The officer and Emily's assistant just stood there mouth agape. Was Jack crazy?
Jack covered a hand on his cheek because he felt it stinging. Then suddenly, he threw his head back and burst into laughter. This wasn't just a dream! Emily was still alive!
To him, all those issues with the plane crash didn't matter anymore. What mattered was that Emily was alive and well. It must be a miracle and what more that he was able to find her!
Jack gazed at the luxury car that Emily was driving and he was taken back to nostalgia.
Emily wasn't brave enough before to drive because she was involved in a car accident when she was younger and ever since then, she'd been scared and she never learned how to drive.
At that time, they were still together. She snuggled up in his arms and acted like the spoiled girl that she was to him, "I can't drive but you'll drive for me, right?" she said, her eye lids fluttering.
He replied happily, "Yes, I'll drive for you. From now on, I'll be your exclusive driver. No one can sit in my passenger seat but you," he said, planting a kiss on her forehead.
But, of course, eventually he would break this promise because so many other women had already sat in his passenger seat.
Emily would break this promise too because later on, she would sit in Jacob's passenger seat. And now, she was even driving her own car!
Jack took a deep breath and at that moment, he decided that he wasn't going to let her go this time. He would do everything he could to keep her by his side. And lastly, he would do everything in his power to make sure Jacob would never find out that Emily was still alive.
This incident wasn't serious because both Emily and Jack had cooperated so it was settled very quickly.
When Emily's assistant was getting ready to leave, Jack asked her, "Who does Miss Lu work for?"
The assistant doubted him and she didn't feel okay telling him because while he claimed that he was an old friend then why didn't he know where Miss Lu was working?
Even though she was confused herself, she decided to answer him honestly because it was not like what he was asking was a secret and he could've easily found out anyway. "She's a general manager for Lu Jewelry," she said simply.
"Oh, I see. Thank you," Jack said with a thoughtful look on his face. He inferred quickly that Emily had just arrived here and she wasn't here to visit anyone and that included Jacob.
That was a good news!
Jack's mouth curled into an arrogant smile - he was one step ahead of Jacob and nothing made him happier.
In the general manager's office of Lu Jewelry.
Emily's assistant went back to the office after she dealt with the officers. The first thing she did when she got back was give Emily the report that she asked for last night. It almost took her the whole night to prepare that. She left as soon as she gave Emily the report leaving Emily alone in her office.
Emily lowered her head slightly and opened the report. She read it carefully.
The report showed that LA Jewelry had grown over the years into one of the biggest jewelry brands in Z country. Their biggest competition was Lin Jewelry and they openly rivaled one another in the industry. It was a known fact that these two companies always went head to head in the business.
Emily knew the owners of both jewelry companies.
The head of LA Jewelry was Sam, so the owner was evidently Jacob. As for Lin Jewelry, the president was Magee.
Emily knew Magee because Jacob had once taken her to a dinner with him and Jennifer. Magee was both Jacob and Jennifer's friend.
