A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

As time went on, Emily paced around the apartment, while Jacob sat on the sofa in a calm manner.

Outside the apartment, Jack just woke up as well. Realizing that it was time for Emily to go to work, he knocked on the door and said, "Time to get up, Emily!"

Instead of responding to Jack, Emily stared at Jacob with a puzzled look, as if she was asking him for advice.

Unfortunately, much to her disappointment, Jacob answered with a helpless look, "I have no idea what to do."

Distressed, Emily wondered, 'How are either of us supposed to go to work today?' Emily grew more and more anxious as time went on. Unlike Jacob, who was the boss of the company, she did not have the luxury of sitting around at home. As an employee of the company, she was expected to be at work on time, or else her attendance bonus could be deducted.

But how could they go out while Jack was still at the doorway? Couldn't Jacob find some way? Emily walked back and forth, anxiously, lost in thoughts.

Seeing Emily's reaction, Jacob calmly suggested, "Maybe there's a way."

"How?" asked Emily, as she looked at him wistfully, like she was looking for a glimmer of hope.

In her mind, she didn't really care, just as long as Jack would leave her door.

With a hint of mischief in his eyes, Jacob smiled at Emily, "Kiss me, and I'll tell you."

"You..." Unable to come up with any reply, Emily got embarrassed, as her face turned red gradually.

"Otherwise, no way."

"You are being scampish."

Ignoring Emily's reluctance, Jacob remained indifferent as he replied, "Indeed, I don't have to worry about being late for work."

Emily hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to meet his demand. She gathered up the courage to walk towards him as if she was marching towards a heroic death.

Before Jacob even had the chance to react, Emily went up to him and gave him a kiss. Although it was a short kiss on his cheek, his heart skipped a beat when her soft lips touched his face like a feather.

It was as if his heart was being wound round and round with a charged wire.
