A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

'Dream on, ' Emily cursed in her mind, 'Jacob must be full of himself.'

"Earlier, Rose was planning to frame me, but luckily, she failed. I know that she won't give up that easily. I am certain she's having someone monitor this room. If you step out now, any fool would be able to tell what happened between you and me..."

"What happened between you and me?" Jacob repeated, the corners of his mouth slowly lifting up, "You mean the secret affair between you and me?"

Jacob had never thought that he would ever have anything to do with a "secret affair". 'Interesting, ' he thought.

"I didn't mean that, " Emily blushed, but asserted, "Anyway, you can't just walk out of here like that!"

Emily didn't want to think what Jack and Rose would do, if they had found out that Jacob was in her room all along. One way or another, Emily wanted what happened today in her room to be a secret!

Jacob looked at Emily for a while, amused by the troubled look on her face. Suddenly, he ran his hand through her hair and caressed it as if he was petting a kitten.

"I see, but, I need you to listen to me too. I want you to break up with Jack and stay away from him."

Emily was disconcerted to hear Jacob's words. Judging from his tone, she knew there was a hidden meaning in the words. But what was it? She failed to figure it out.

She did not catch it even after Jacob had left after making a phone call.

The next day, it was the final round of the jewelry design competition.

Before the final round commenced, all the contestants waited eagerly; talking to each other; trying to feel out their competitors.

At first glance Emily saw Rose sitting there in her luxury dress, which made her look more attractive and striking. And she was not alone. A man sat next to her. It was Jack, who wore as a prince. A handsome man with a fair lady—what a perfect match in everyone's eyes.

But Emily only took a glance at the two and looked away. It was the final and she should focus on the competition without any distraction.

As a consequence, she didn't notice that both Jack and Rose looked annoyed, even though they were upset for completely different reasons.
