A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 128 Don't Ask Again

Chester had a mild exterior. He gave off a mellow and friendly vibe. It was easy for him to leave a favorable impression on other people. When he spoke to Emily, he did not mention anything concerning her job, instead he chatted with her at ease.

"Miss Emily, do you like your current job?" he asked.

Emily peeked at Jacob subconsciously, and then gently answered,"Yes, it's not so bad."

In truth, designing jewelry was Emily's natural calling; it's what she loved doing the most, but there was no denying that she could learn a lot of things under the proper guidance of Jacob.

Emily's goal was plain and simple: she wanted to rely on her own capabilities to exact her revenge upon Jack for hurting her.

"Do you feel stressed at times?" asked Chester. Evidently, Chester was the kind of person who could make friends with almost no effort at all. He spoke as if he were an old acquaintance of Emily.

Jacob sat beside him with a calm facial expression. He did not dissuade them from talking, which implied to Emily that Chester was a person she could trust.

Chester spoke tenderly, wittily and humorously. Emily's nerves relaxed gradually as they continued with the conversation.

Before long, Jacob brought over a cup of warm milk and handed it to Emily. "Have some milk," said Jacob.

Emily felt embarrassed by Jacob's display of affection in front of an outsider. How could she sit there while Jacob brought her milk? She was his assistant, and it was supposed to be her job to bring drinks for Jacob and his friend, not the other way around. She wanted to stand up to receive the cup of milk out of respect for Jacob. It was not proper anyway.

However, as soon as she got up, Jacob gently pushed her back down.

"Don't worry. Chester is not an outsider," Jacob comforted.

Emily was slightly taken aback by Jacob's uninhibited attitude, as she turned to look at Chester. She was surprised to find that there was no change in Chester's facial expression, as if it was completely normal for Jacob to act the way he did.

Seeing the easy-going nature of the man helped to calm Emily's nerves.

Emily took a sip of milk from the cup and then heard Chester ask her another casual question.
