A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jacob's face clouded. He cast a look to Sam, who was waiting at the door, and coldly told him to come inside.

Sam hesitated for a second before entering the room, then he went inside. "Mr. Jacob, Miss Emily," said reverently.

Emily blushed and went silent for embarrassment. Jacob instead sounded clearly annoyed by this inappropriate interruption; "Sam, what's the matter?" asked him bitterly.

"Mr. Jack came to his senses."

"Is Jack awake?" said Emily, coming immediately out of her silence. "How is he doing?"

Sam was going to tell them that Jack was badly injured. But before he could say anything, he noticed that Jacob was staring at him, a dark and slightly worried look on his face like he was not willing to know whether Jack recovered since that bad injury. Then Sam went on,"Mr. Jack is all right."

"Okay good, we hope for the best. Now I must ask you to leave," said Jacob. He sounded very upset like it was unwise for Sam to stay longer in the room. 'I will cut his pay, ' Jacob thought.

Following his instruction, Sam walked out and closed the door behind him.

However, it was too late to continue their conversation: Jacob was fine, but Emily couldn't think about anything but Jack. She didn't even notice that Jacob was as displeased by the news as a kid when given broccoli for dinner. Then she asked,"Jacob, can I go to see him? After all, if he was injured, it was also because of me..."

After what happened, Emily still cared for Jack, and this was making Jacob very irritated. "No," he said harshly.

"What? You... How can you do that?" Emily said in disbelief.

"Do what?" He replied, with that arrogant grin stuck on his handsome face.

"You are very mean. You don't have the right to tell me what to do... I tell you. If you do not change your attitude, I'll stop loving you..." With that said, Emily hoped that Jacob would change his mind and let her go. Instead, something that she wasn't expecting happened: Jacob kissed her on the lips again.

Emily was caught by surprise, but she did not move as Jacob kissed her. Then he bit her lower lip, slowly moved back and said,"This is your penance for saying you won't love me anymore. Next time you tell me something like that, it will be worse"
