A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 32

"Okay, deal." Jacob did not care about when he would get his coat; he only cared about her attitude towards him.

Emily breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was satisfied at last. She asked, "If there is nothing else to discuss..."

"Yes." Jacob interrupted her and raised her chin with his finger, then he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

Right then, the door of the office was pushed open by someone from the outside. The person was just on the time to catch the scene, but he was quiet as he stood there emotionlessly.

"What are you doing?" Emily pushed Jacob away, then saw Victor standing at the door. Her face suddenly dropped to the floor. "Mr. Victor, I..."

"You may continue, " said Victor, with a cold and teasing tone. Then he turned around and walked out. He was even considerate enough to close the door behind him.

"Can't wait to explain?" Jacob said in an unhappy voice.

"This is going too far!" Emily was fuming.

Why did Jacob always kiss her so casually? Did he take her for a loose woman? This time somebody else had witnessed it!

"Too far?" Jacob was annoyed at the fact that she cared so much about what Victor thought.

"Jacob Gu, would it be possible for you to treat me with a little respect?" Emily rarely called him by his full name. Feeling helpless, she fixated on his expressionless face and said in firm tone, "Thank you very much for helping me. I will certainly repay you, but not in this way. You must know that I have always treated you as an elder and a friend!

So, please don't take this the wrong way."

Emily had been dying to say these words for a long time. Today, she felt lighter, having set her innermost thoughts free. Maybe she should have made it clear to Jacob a long time ago.

"But I don't want to be your elder and friend!" Jacob suddenly changed his expression and frowned. He said, "Emily, I am not the kind of man you can discard when you want to!"

"Jacob, nowadays, one night stands are a very common thing. Or maybe you were a virgin? And you want me to be responsible for taking your virginity? Come on! There are so many ladies who would kill to be with you, why me?

In my humble opinion, your behavior is very childish and unbecoming." Emily didn't want to lose her integrity just because he had helped her. Those were two different matters. "Or, are you in love with me, Mr. Gu?"

Emily's last sentence was full of irony. Without a doubt it would certainly make Jacob angry, but she wanted to get those words off her chest. Her real intention was to be as far away from him as possible, but things hadn't really gone according to her wishes. Now the only thing she could do was to make her position clear to him.

"Don't flatter yourself, Emily." Jacob's heart was filled with displeasure; his eyes blazed like an inferno as he said, "Fall in love with you? You must be daydreaming!"

Jacob was known to be a very calm and collected person. Without a doubt, he had the patience of a saint. Jacob was not one to be easily aggravated; he was not one to display his emotions openly either. This time, however, he had lost all control over his emotions.

Emily was the name of the person responsible for such a rare feat.

"For both our sakes, that would be great." Emily was relieved. "Jacob, please don't bother me any more. I really thank you for understanding."

For the best of everyone concerned, it would be good to forget everything that had happened between them. This way they could end things mutually and return to their old lives.

Jacob glared at Emily, and her expression made him even angrier. "Get out of here, right now!"

No one had ever dared to speak to him like that. Emily was the first and the last person alive to offend him and get away with it.

Damn it! His heart melted when he saw her!

Emily immediately walked out of the room. This irritated Jacob even more.
