A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jingshi City was pretty much chaotic these days, which was due to the ongoing disputes between the two most powerful families of the city: the Gu family and the Tao family.

Then, upon Christmas season, the first snow of this turbulent winter arrived.

Emily didn't have to work because it was the holiday break. She was still in bed, trying to relax when the doorbell rang. She looked out to see who woke her up from the bed. Surprised, she saw a man wearing a Christmas red dress, waiting at the door, under the sunlight.

She clearly distinguished the masculine traits of this figure outside. This man, wearing a Santa suit and carrying a big bag of presents, had his face masked by a large stocking cap and by a fake white bear, so she didn't recognize the guy. Was Santa Claus coming to visit her?

'Santa? Seriously?'

Emily rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

"Who is that?" she asked.

"Hi, I am your Santa." This man smiled when Emily opened the door. Then, he rubbed inside his sack and took out a small stocking cap that he handed out to Emily,"Merry Christmas, little dove," said the Santa Claus.

Emily stood there for a few seconds,"What do you want Jack?" said Emily impatiently, throwing the cap away. "Do you think I am a fool?"

"Isn't it romantic?" said Jack smiling.

"You are just a child Jack." And before Jack could say anything, she shut the door closed.

"Wait! Emily! Open the door! I've got other gifts for you! Emily, please! Can you hear me?" He was about to knock at the door again when someone pulled him back. Jacob, of course. Who else could it be?
