A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jennifer was quite relaxed and made some tea for Emily and herself. She boiled some water and in a blink, the tea was hot and ready. Then Jennifer sat in front of Emily, "Jacob used to like my tea a lot. Miss Emily, please try some," urged Jennifer.

"No, thanks," answered Emily. Mr. Gu did not invite Emily for a cup of tea. They both knew that.

Out of thin air, Jennifer started laughing, "Oh, I'm so sorry Miss Emily! I forgot you can't drink tea in your current condition. What a pity!"

It was an apology but actually, it sounded rather ironical.

Emily's face darkened, 'She knows about the baby too? Damn. How many people on earth?' But either way, she just smiled back and said, "Actually I don't like tea, so don't feel pity for me."

"Yes, of course," answered Jennifer after recovering her composure. Jennifer rubbed the cup in her hands to check if it was chill enough to drink, then took a sip. Her eyes were staring at Emily. Then she moved on speaking, "Let's make this point straight, Miss Emily. Mr. Gu invited you here because I asked him to do so. You are here for me. I hope you don't mind, do you?"

"So, you saw me now. Do you need anything else?"

"You are not as I imagined you were my dear. I dare say you are quite interesting," said Jennifer with a piercing look.

"I would've never imagined I was so important for you, Miss Jennifer," answered Emily ironically.

"Well, yes. You are very peculiar, Miss Emily." Jennifer placed her cup just in front of Emily, "Either way, one can be interesting in many ways my dear... but not all of them are something to be proud of."

Emily stayed impassive, "Then I will be the kind of interesting that Jacob wants."

Those words hit Jennifer like some bullets piercing through her heart.

She needed a couple of minutes to smooth down the anger and go back, "Do you love him? You can't pretend love. You have to cultivate it and keep it safe."

Emily stared at her, saying nothing.
