A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Jacob!" Emily's face flushed red, as she cursed Jacob for being rascal and herself for being spineless, in her mind.

Jacob stared at her face, trying to catch every piece of her expressions," Why didn't you ask for my help?"

Jacob had spent all these days, waiting for Emily to reach out to him for help, but it was all in vain. It seemed like she had totally forgotten him.

This annoyed him a great deal.

"Why should I ask for your help?"

Jacob's face turned gloomy at Emily's insensitivity.

Emily zipped her lips tight and looked at Jacob without saying a word.

It suddenly occurred to her that, a few days ago, Victor said the same thing---- 'why don't you ask for Jacob's help?'

In their minds, were they already expecting her to ask for Jacob's help? Just because of that one night stand? How could they be so sure.

Jacob realized that the girl had never given a thought to ask him for help, therefore, it's quite normal to assume that she did not want to keep in touch with him.

Jacob remembered how she told Jack that she had never coveted anything from Jack while they were together. 'But, no one in the world is free of desires. Then what on earth do you want?' Jacob was baffled.

"Emily." Jacob slowly released her and asked directly," You have lost your job and gained yourself a bad reputation in the industry, don't you need my help?"

Emily, still a little dizzy, leaned against the wall, and still, tried to keep her head clear," Yes, I do. Could you please lend me one hundred dollars?"

"...", Jacob was speechless.

"I don't have any cash on me, Jacob, please lend me some money so that I can take a taxi home." Emily wasn't a fool. There's no such thing as a free lunch. If Jacob reached out to her, it meant he wanted something in return. She wasn't going to fall for his trap!

Jacob chuckled in his mind, watching her struggle to keep her dizzy head clear. 'Quite a vigilant girl.'
