'"I saved your life".
What did he mean by that?'
Emily was trying to straighten her thoughts before Jacob leaned over to her and gave her a full-on, open mouthed kiss, to the point of bleeding. It did not just end there. Instead, he sucked and licked the tiny drops of blood from her lips, as if he were punishing her.
"Oh..." Emily propped her hands on Jacob's chest, trying to push him away. But Jacob kissed her even harder, almost suffocating her.
Completely ignoring the beeping horns behind Jacob's car, the atmosphere inside the car was getting more and more passionate.
But the passionate mood was finally brought to an end after a traffic police knocked on the car window in a rude way.
Emily suddenly came to herself. Irritated, Jacob frowned with displeasure for being interrupted.
When the car window winded down slowly, the traffic police immediately recognized the man who was scowling at him with frustration. In an apologetic tone the policeman said,"Mr. Jac...Jacob!"
"What's wrong?"
With great fear and trepidation in his heart, the policeman answered,"You're disrupting traffic here, sir!"
However, before the policeman was done talking, the black Maybach in front of him suddenly caught fire and vanished from his sight like a bat out of hell.
The policeman was left speechless.
Emily sat in the front passenger seat, exhausted. The sudden increase in speed made her stomach churn, causing her to nearly throw up right there.
Luckily for Emily, Jacob slowed down the car once he noticed the pale complexion on her face.
Jacob nearly blew his top when Emily risked her life by jumping off the car. He was really scared out of his wits at that moment. The mere thought of the incident made him feel like he was being suffocated by a giant hand.
"Emily, do you think life is a game?"
Emily knew that Jacob was right, so she didn't say anything in response. She was like a child getting scolded by her parents.
It was dangerous of her to jump off the car like that. Fortunately, she only had a few bruises on her arm. Nothing serious.
"I'm going to kick your behind if you dare to pull something like that again!"
Frightened by Jacob's words, Emily mumbled a "yes" in a low voice.
Jacob was in good mood again because Emily was being obedient to him today. He drove the car for several minutes before they finally came to a stop.
Jacob got off the car. This time he didn't forget to lock the car doors. Then he stepped away and vanished from Emily's sight.
Emily, who was sitting inside the car by herself, felt depressed. She unknowingly touched her swollen lips dispiritedly.
'What a mess...'
After a while, when she felt stuffy inside the car, she took off the dinner jacket over her shoulders. Suddenly, she noticed that something had fallen out from the pocket.
Emily fumbled, and came across something hard. It looked like a white button from a shirt. 'Why did Jacob carry it with him?' Emily felt puzzled.
It was obviously not the button from Jacob's coat... 'Wait. Button?
"You took one of my cufflinks, and I took a button from your shirt. Fair enough."'
Emily suddenly recalled the words Jacob had said to her, and blushed at the thought of the memories from that day, because she also recalled what Jacob had done to her that day. It was the button from her shirt!
Suddenly there were loud footsteps outside the window. Emily quickly put away the button and pretended as if nothing was wrong.
With a crackling sound, the door was opened from outside by Jacob.
Seeing Emily sitting there quietly, Jacob's expression softened,"Stretch out your hand."
"Why?" Emily asked, as she stretched out her hand obediently.
"Other hand."
"Ok."
