A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily was nonplussed, but she did not refute because Jacob had a point. Quietly and slowly, she was about to chang her shoes.

Jacob looked at her heel, which had scraped a bit of skin off, and frowned. "No need to change your shoes," he said.

"Eh?"

Emily was somewhat puzzled. "Then I am... not suited for the occasion?" she asked.

"If I say it's okay, then it is okay," Jacob asserted.

Emily,"......"

The time for the meeting was fast approaching.

When Emily stepped into the conference room, all the eyes fixated on her, making her feel pressured and uncomfortable.

At the same time, the chief executives sitting in the conference room were all shocked to see her there. How could Jacob bring his woman to the meeting! And this woman came in with an unkept hair and a pair of slippers!

How arrogant?!

Emily was still inexperienced. While the people who were present there were all seasoned professionals. Their eyes pressed against her, as if to choke her. She was sweating profusely as she cast a short glance at Jacob, like a helpless animal asking for help.

Jacob's heart softened at the sight of her desperation. He waved at her and said,"Come here."

Emily looked down at her feet, and took small steps to walk towards him, before she sat down right next to Jacob.

On the surface, these chief executives looked calm, but on the inside, they were all shocked. Soon they all came to the same conclusion that this woman meant a lot to Jacob.

Therefore, even if they were dissatisfied with her attire, they could only turn a blind eye to their concerns.
