A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 70

A few seconds later, there was in an uproar. Many employees of the LA company expressed their anger and frustration.

"This is going too far!"

"Why is she being so unreasonable? Asking Miss Emily to kneel down is just asking for too much."

"Miss Emily, don't listen to her."

......

Tina cast a disdainful glance at them, as she raised her sharp chin and demanded, arrogantly,"Kneel down!"

With her eye-brows furrowed and hands clenched tightly, Emily stood there in silence.

Emily was caught between a rock and a hard place, as she found it difficult to choose between the reputation of the LA company and her own dignity.

"Emily, I am not the one who sells the fakes. If you don't kneel down and apologize, I will call the police."

Tina took out her mobile phone and waved it at Emily and said,"Did you hear me? I don't have the patience to wait for you any longer."

Tina was not putting on an act. No matter what Emily did, it was never good enough to satisfy her.

"Don't do this!"

Emily pleased hastily. She did not want to be the reason behind the LA company's downfall.

Tina looked at Emily snidely and counted,"One, two, three..."

But before she finished, Tina was interrupted by a deep and powerful voice.

"Will you dare to take the responsibility of Emily's knees?"

Puzzled, Tina turned around to see who it was. Much to her surprise, she saw the familiar face of a man whose handsome charms had bewitched her mind, body and soul. "Jacob!"

Tina's eyes sparkled with joy at the sight of him, but that shine soon died out when she realized that he had caught her red-handed in the act of doing something wrong.

"Jacob, what are you doing here?"

"That's what I was about to ask you." Jacob's eyes pierced through Tina with one cold look. Then he looked at Emily and said,"Don't do it."

Looking at the man who had appeared out of nowhere, like a savior to her rescue, Emily's nerves gradually calmed down. "Jacob. How..."

"Shut up!"

……

Tina observed the chemistry between them and grew envious of Emily,"Jacob, why do you want to protect this woman? She... She is not a good person!"

Jacob turned his eyes to her and said,"What did you say?"

Tina thought he would like to listen to her. With puppy dog eyes, she complained,"Emily is responsible for everything--- from design to production. Now that something has gone wrong, she must be held responsible for it! Jacob, you'd better keep away from a woman who lacks moral fiber."

Tina was wishfully expecting for Jacob to push Emily away in disgust.

However, to her disappointment, Jacob did not meet her expectations.

"Oh." Jacob raised his lips and eyebrows as if he had just heard the world's most hilarious joke, and looked at Tina sarcastically.

"Jacob, what she said isn't entirely true. Listen to me..." Emily was anxious to explain because she didn't want Jacob to think of her as a liar.

Jacob suddenly took her hand and gently said,"Trust me."

Emily settled down to see what he wanted to do. Every time she needed him, he was there to her rescue. It seemed like he had an innate superpower to solve everything.

Tina rolled her eyes at them. The sight of their hands joined together, angered her beyond reason.

"Do you mean..." Jacob opened his mouth and said in a cold voice,"My company sells fake goods?"
