A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Nothing happened that night.

The next morning, Emily woke up, feeling dizzy and groggy. She sat up in a daze for a while, then she realized that she was not in her bedroom, but Jacob's!

There was no one in the bedroom. She looked at herself with surprise and found that somebody had changed her clothes. But fortunately, there was no strange feeling on her body, so... 'Nothing happened, right?'

Her clothes, which had been washed, dried and ironed, was placed at the head of the bed. She got up and dressed herself in a hurry. Just then the bedroom door was pushed open by someone from the outside.

Emily was taken aback. To her relief, it wasn't Jacob, but a young girl standing near the door.

Wasn't it considered rude to come in without knocking at the door?

Was Jacob's room open for every girl to just come and go as they pleased?

The young girl was a maid, whose name was Zola. She was surprised to see that Emily had already dressed up neatly. "Miss, you're awake!"

Zola was expecting to see Emily make an exhibition with her clothes in disarray, but she was surprised to find that Emily had already dressed up so quickly.

"Mr. Jacob asked you to go downstairs and have breakfast with him."

Zola was good at disguising herself as a well-mannered girl.

Emily nodded and said," Okay, got it."

Even though Zola had a gentle disposition about her, Emily sensed a bit of hostility from Zola.

Although there was no overt hostility on Zola's part, Emily had a gut feeling that she and Zola weren't going to get along very well.

Perhaps... Zola was also interested in Jacob?

That wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary as Jacob was so likeable that most women who laid eyes on him found themselves attracted to him.

Emily told herself not to be jealous.

She walked downstairs to the dining room. As soon as her eyes met Jacob's, she instantly looked the other way timidly.
