A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Falling into the same pit twice. I've never seen anyone as stupid as me. I'm not kidding. I voluntarily allowed others to make a fool out of me. Hahaha..."

Having gone way above her drinking limit, Emily was just spewing nonsense now. The phone in her bag rang again and again.

Frustrated, Rita sighed. She picked up the phone and answered," Hello."

The man on the other end of the call immediately realized that the woman who answered was not Emily, he asked," Where is Emily?"

Since Rita did not want to leave Emily there, and pass through the noisy dance floor, she raised the volume on the phone and shouted," Sir, I am Emily's friend..."

Before she could finish, the man interrupted her," Where are you now?"

Rita hesitated, as she didn't know who she was talking to," We..."

The man sensed the doubtfulness and hesitation in Rita's voice, so he assured her," I'm her boyfriend."

Rita couldn't help but sneer. 'Well, am I just supposed to take your word for it?'

"I'll take care of her. Rest easy."

Rita hung up the phone, without waiting for his response.

When Rita glanced at Emily's phone screen, she got the shock of a lifetime, as her eyes widened with intrigue.

'What did I just see? Jacob's name?!

Since when did Emily have a relationship with such a man?'

As Emily was too drunk to talk sensibly, Rita did not want to wake her up and ask her about it. Instead, she put the phone back into Emily's bag and ordered a cocktail, as she listened to her endless ranting.

Jacob, on the other hand, was drunk with rage, as he sat there starting at his phone wondering who had answered Emily's phone.

"Sam, go and find out where Emily is right now."

"Yes, sir."
