A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground to bury herself.

She knew that it was not the right time or place to be arguing with Jacob, so she picked up that bra and went into fitting room again, embarrassed.

When checking out, Emily insisted paying the bill on her own but Jacob stopped her by using his height to his advantage, as he patted her head and then gave his Centurion Card to the cashier.

"I have money!" Emily still refused and picked up her purse to pay, but she was embarrassed to discover that she forgot to bring her card and the cash she had was not enough to pay for most of the clothes.

"I did not bring card with me..." Emily said, awkwardly.

The woman cashier discreetly rolled her eyes at Emily. 'Huh, such a reserved bitch.'

In the end, it was Jacob who ended up paying the bill.

Coming out of the shopping mall, Emily did not plan on taking Jacob's car, so she said," Thank you. I will transfer the money to you later."

Emily did not like being indebted to others, whether it was money or favors, she would always make it a point to be mindful and pay back as soon as she could.

Upon hearing Emily, Jacob's expression changed as if he was offended by her words, and he replied in a cold voice," Whatever!"

Jacob had thoroughly tasted how heartless the woman was! But he just could not help thinking of her!

"So, bye."

Emily turned round and walked away without looking back. Jacob felt so displeased that he kicked the side of his car with all his strength. His eyes matched the way he felt at that moment: dark and cold.

...

When Emily got back to her apartment, Jack was waiting for her at the gate, standing still like a statue.

Jack had been waiting outside her apartment for more than an hour.

In the banquet, he was preoccupied with Rose. When he finally got out and came back, the banquet was over and Emily was gone too.
