In the five-star Queens Court Resort.
It only took Emily twenty minutes to get there. When she got off the car, she was sweating through her clothes. Even to this day, she still couldn't deceive herself.
She really worried about Jacob.
Especially, when she saw the last message from Sam, her heart sunk to the floor.
"Miss Cloris, if you don't come now and I mean now, you will never see Mr. Jacob again."
'What had happened to Jacob?' she wondered anxiously.
Sam had been waiting at the gate of the resort for her. The moment he saw Emily, his eyes lit up by joy, as if he had seen the last savior.
Deep in his heart, Sam knew that Emily would come!
'Looks like she still cares for Mr. Jacob!' Sam was relieved to see her walked towards him.
"E... Miss Cloris," Sam strode forward, his face full of anxiety.
Emily walked quickly without even realizing how fast she was walking. She took a deep breath, pretending to be calm, and asked "Sam, what happened to Mr. Jacob? Why did you bring him to a hotel and not to a hospital?"
Guilt appeared in his eyes as Sam looked away to hide away his embarrassment. He mumbled, "Umm..because... Mr. Jacob is in danger, and there wasn't enough time to take him to a hospital. You may want to see for yourself..."
Emily sensed that something was wrong, but when she wanted to ask for more details, she only saw the anxiety on Sam's face. Strangely enough, he seemed to be requesting her, as if Emily was the only person in the world who could save Jacob.
"Miss Cloris, only you can save Mr. Jacob. Please don't walk away from this life-and-death situation..."
Finding Sam's behavior to be odd at best, Emily felt the panic begin like a cluster of spark plugs in her abdomen. Tension grew in her face and her breathing became rapid and shallow. Without wasting any more time, she followed Sam to the presidential suite.
Emily took a deep breath and walked into the room.
She was relieved to see that the image of Jacob's badly bruised body was only a figment of her imagination. Jacob was lying on the sofa, with his eyes shut tight. The collar of his shirt was ripped open, showing his delicate collarbone and firm chest. His handsome face was abnormally red, while thick beads of sweat also lined up on his forehead...
A sexy woman climbed over him like a water snake, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Mr. Jacob, let me take you to bed..." she whispered in his ears.
The next second, she was on the floor, pushed away by Jacob as if she were a bag of rubbish. "Fuck off!"
"Mr. Jacob..." The woman still did not want to give up, and she refused to leave.
'What a joke! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to climb up the social ladder. Who would be stupid enough to give up such a chance?' the woman thought to herself.
All the while, Emily watched with amazement as the scene unfolded right before her like an old movie. She looked at Sam and sneered, "You called me over so urgently to show me this drama?"
However, even Sam was shocked at what he was seeing. 'Who is this woman? Where did she come from? Mr. Jacob would never betray Miss Emily!'
"Miss Cloris, let me explain to you. This isn't what you think..." Sam asked the guards to take that woman away immediately. 'How dare she try to seduce Mr. Jacob!' He explained, "Mr. Jacob has been unconscious for a while now. That woman must have sneaked in. Miss Cloris, please save Mr. Jacob! Every woman out there is waiting to get in bed with him..."
Unfortunately, Emily walked away, before he could finish his words.
Sam caught up with her, nervously, "Miss Cloris..."
