A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 329

Jack's face widened, speechless. He opened his mouth to speak something but decided against it.

From his perspective, Emily was impure. It was like she was some sauce, with two men indulging themselves with her.

"Calm down. Just think it over when your head's finally clear." Emily spoke with no hint of emotion. She stood up and paid for the meal and left straight away.

Jack decided not to chase her. He just sat there with both of his hands tucked under his chin. He felt gloom wash all over his body.

As he looked at the delicate dishes on the table, he felt anger suddenly surge in him. He gritted his teeth and kicked the table.

The dishes fell down and crashed into pieces onto the floor.

His heart had never felt so heavy in his entire life. It's like as if he was carrying a large sack on his shoulders.

Emily went back to the company and boarded the elevator. Then she found herself alone, contemplating to herself.

She punched the button, quietly, and emotionless. She looked at her reflection at the mirror on the elevator's wall. She sighed, "I look dead."

The next second, she stared at her broken expression at the mirror. She leaned onto the wall, trying her best to stand still. She let out a few tears before she took deep breaths to compose herself again.

"Breathe in, breathe out. It will pass," She muttered to herself.

A few hours ago, she saw Jacob. She decided to mask her unhappiness with a cold blank mask. She badly needed to vent out and if she didn't do that, she would go insane.

She thought that once she saw Jacob once more, she would be able to face him calmly and treat him as a stranger. Unfortunately, she only found herself sobbing all alone in the elevator because of him.

He became a part of her life. No matter how she tried her best to forget him, her heart told a different story. She was unable to ignore him completely.

When she finally returned to Z Country, she tried everything not to flash back at the memories with Jacob. His smiles, his touch, his kisses. She tried to control her feelings and not to think about him. She even to an extent such as not reading the reports about him.

However, fate can be cruel.

It must be God's punishment to her the moment He let their paths cross once again.

Emily stared at her reflection and wiped away her tears. She took out some pressed powder and red lipstick from her black handbag. She retouched her makeup, trying to conceal how much of a mess she was a while ago. She also took out some dark sunglasses to hide how red and puffy her eyes were.

When she finally finished retouching, the elevator let out a "DING" before its doors opened.

She stepped out of the elevator and her heels clacked on every step. Her assistant, who waited for her outside the elevator, walked on her side. "So uhm.. Ms. Lu, you have a meeting with Mr. Ling at 2PM and then..."

Emily interrupted the assistant and snatched the file coldly, "I can read it by myself."

"Yes, Ms. Lu," the assistant spoke quickly, giving a slight bow.

As they walked towards the corner of the corridors, they saw two employees talking and gossiping at each other during work.

"Ms. Lu and Emily look so alike! It's like they're the real twin sisters!" They whispered between themselves. "But their personalities and tempers are completely different!"

"That's true! She looks so cold that I feel shivers down my spine whenever I see her! It still baffles me why Mr. Jack still pursues her. She's just a beautiful face. I mean, who will be able to stand her? After all, she's some sort of an ice queen who made her kingdom have eternal winter."

"But according to Mr. Jack, that's not true."

"Well, do you believe him?"

Then their eyes widened when they heard a pair of heels clacking on the floor. They could hear it coming closer.

These employees decided to keep quiet and watched Emily and her assistant walking towards them. They felt cold sweats drip on their foreheads, feeling frightened.

With so many things that happened today, Emily had finally lost her patience. She stopped at her tracks and looked at these employees from their heads to their toes. "Did you know that backstabbing and gossip is not tolerated in Lu Jewelry?" With one finally look, she spoke coldly, "You two are fired."

The employees were shocked as her assistant hid her gasp behind the files she was carrying.

"Ms Lu, please forgive. We are so sorry!" One of them stood out and begged as the two of them shivered.
