A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Ever since Emily was taken away by Mr. Gu's men, Jacob had been greatly concerned about her safety. He didn't let her go back to work. He also took her wherever he went.

As a result, Emily followed him in and out of the Gu Consortium. They were inseparable and all of the staff thought that they were married.

"Jacob, I'm not a kid anymore. Why should I be following you every goddamn time?" Emily sat by the extra desk in Jacob's office. She scowled as she put one hand under her chin. "Stop treating me as if I'm still in kindergarten."

Jacob grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it. "Please understand me this time, okay? I wanted to be with you all the time."

"How old are you again? Only children need adult supervision," Emily's pout turned into a teasing smile.

Jacob dramatically spoke, "I really want to see you by my side. If I don't, I won't be able to function. If I won't be able to function, I won't be able to work. If I won't be able to work, then business is going to crash!"

Emily couldn't help but laugh, "You're quite a drama queen, aren't you?"

"I'm not exaggerating. It's how I really feel," Jacob spoke, putting a hand on his chest. These past few days, Jacob had a strange hunch that something might happen to Emily. That was why he kept her by his side to keep her safe.

Emily smiled. She perfectly understood how Jacob was being overprotective towards her so she decided to compromise with his wishes. "Very well then. I'll keep you company."

'Just in time! Maybe I can take this chance and really relax for a while, ' Emily thought optimistically.

Jacob decided to set a few rules, "You can use the computer but only for one hour. If you use it more than an hour, it's going to strain your eyes."

"Okay, okay. I heard it loud and clear. No need to nag," Emily replied, scratching her temple, giving a helpless smile.

"Are you getting sick of me? Sorry for being such a nagger. I am just worried about you and the child. Can't you see it?" Jacob said with puppy eyes as he reached out to squish her cheeks. "Hey, your face. It has gotten rounder and fluffier."

Emily's eyes widened, "Oh my gosh! Have I gotten fat!?"
