A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 44

Emily took one short glance at the flowers and assumed they were from Jack. She looked completely uninterested, as she coldly replied, "Throw them away."

Emily's colleague seemed to have been taken aback by her response. She hesitated and asked, "Miss Bai, are you sure you don't want them?

After all, they are a symbol of one's love for you."

"If you want them, you can have them."

Immediately, her colleague stopped talking and walked out of the room with the flowers.

Just a few minutes after she walked out, Emily's cellphone rang. She answered it without a second thought, and heard the deep voice of a man on the other side of the call.

"Emily, how dare you! You let people throw away the flowers I'd sent you?"

The man's tone was very solemn, as if he were discussing matters of great importance with her, making Emily feel a little nervous. All of a sudden, Emily felt like she had done something far terrible than just throwing away a bunch of ordinary roses.

"What?

I didn't know they were from you..."

Emily wondered how the news had traveled so fast?

"Then who did you think it was from?

Jack?" Jacob's voice softened when he realized the reason behind her confusion. "Go and pick them up, and don't throw them away."

"All right..." Without a conscious thought, Emily obeyed his orders. She walked out of the office with her cellphone and saw the bouquet of roses at the foot of the stairs. Having the flowers thrown in the garbage bin did not do justice to its beauty.

Fortunately, the garbage bin was clean and empty. Emily found the roses to be just as gorgeous as they were before.

Emily picked up the flowers, habitually patted them twice and said, "I have picked them up."

"Good girl."

Emily, "......"

After all, she couldn't disobey her boss's orders. She found an empty vase and filled it with water, then she put the roses in one by one. After she put them aside, she sighed a breath of relief.

What exactly did Jacob mean?

Emily believed that the reason why Jacob pursued her was just the heat of the moment. Now she was not his so he wanted to get her. He might not want to commit to a serious relationship.

People like Jacob could get any women if he wanted. But he seldom called them his "girlfriends".

Emily hoped that Jacob would lose interest on her, sooner rather than later.

……

Meanwhile, Jack on the other hand, was also upset.

Jack was asked to come to the company early in the morning by Jacob, where he had been waiting for Jacob's arrival for over half an hour. When they finally met, Jacob scolded him without listening to his reasons, making him lose face in front of the other senior officials.

In his heart, the accumulation of dissatisfaction and unwillingness gradually emerged, diluting even the slightest bit of respect he had for Jacob.

In truth, Jack was the family's own flesh and blood; the rightful heir to the family's business empire, while Jacob was only an adopted child of the master of the house. He was an outsider. Why was he allowed to hold all the power of the family?

It wasn't fair to Jack!

Jack, however, was not completely brainless. He didn't retaliate, in order to avoid making a scene in front of the people. Instead, he hung his head low in shame.

Jacob noticed Jack's anger, but he just cast it aside. In the face of absolute power, all the anger without strength was meaningless.

Jacob called Jack into the office and transferred him to EM directly. With an irrefutable tone, Jack demanded, "You need to work on your performance. Go to the branch in D City and hone your skills. This company will help you practise and learn."

Last time, Jacob tried to send Jack to M Country. It had attracted old Mr. Gu's attention. In addition, Jack was suspicious of his real motives. This time, he did not transfer Jack abroad, instead, he just transferred him to another city, far away from Jingshi City, so that Jack would be far away from Emily.

Although Jack was unwilling to follow Jacob's orders, he did not have a valid reason to challenge him.
