A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

When Jacob returned to his office, he didn't see Emily in her desk. With a stern look on his face, he called Sam in.

"What has been keeping Emily so busy lately? Do you notice anything peculiar about her?" he asked Sam.

Jacob believed that Sam would know what Emily was up to since he had asked him to keep a watchful eye on the girl. The next moment, Jacob got the answer from Sam—"Everything was just as usual, Sir. But, recently, I saw Ms. Tina chatting with Ms. Emily, on more than one occasion."

"Tina?" Having guessed what was going on, Jacob frowned and hardened his look. He tapped his slender fingers on the table and said,"Keep an eye on them. We have to figure out what's going on."

'Something happened to Emily that I don't know about, ' Jacob thought, 'she looked at me peculiarly just now. And when I visited her yesterday, she was also in a state of shock as if she was hiding something from me... What the hell is wrong with her?'

Credit to his lack of patience, Jacob decided to figure it out by himself, because he knew that Emily would never bring herself to tell him the truth.

"I will do as you've said, Sir," Sam nodded at Jacob and walked off to run errands.

That afternoon, in an upscale café

Tina was sitting at a table, stirring a cup of coffee in a leisurely manner with an exquisite spoon between her slender fingers. There was a certain glow of happiness on her face. It was quite obvious that she was in a good mood. "I win this round. Emily had quite a reaction to that video," she chuckled, as she turned to the girl sitting beside her.

Jasmyn, who was sitting next to Tina, giggled and said,"Emily is so naive. How could she even compete with you? I'm sure she won't get the better of you again."

"You are right. With that video in my hand, she is absolutely under my control now. Tell you what, with that video, she will do whatever I ask her to do," basking under the light of her confidence, Tina smiled with pleasure because she finally managed to bring Emily to her knees.

According to everyone else, Emily was a confident girl who was neither overbearing nor self-effacing. However, Tina, who hated Emily's guts, only wanted to destroy her confidence and self-esteem one step at a time.

'I want to see what else Emily would do to keep Jacob's heart with her!' Tina thought as she gnashed her teeth in resentment.
