A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 315 I Really Really Like You

Jack was a little disappointed, but his exuberance soon recovered. He charmingly suggested, "Miss Lu, how about I take you home?

What do you think?"

Emily smirked and squinted at him slightly. The Jack she once knew would have never spoken to her in this manner. He would have acted on his own decision, leaving no room for her to discuss anything. At last, he had finally learned how to respect others.

What Emily did not understand was the odd combination of mixed feelings that had appeared in Jack's heart when he saw her again after the news of her death. Jack was so tense, he didn't know how to act in front of Emily. Subconsciously, he became wary of his words and actions, as he began to stress over what was appropriate and what wasn't.

Emily, however, casually turned her back to him, and answered, "No, thanks."

Jack bit his lips and walked in front of her to insist again, "Why not? It's hard to get a taxi here. I can drive you home. I promise I won't make it awkward for the both of us. Don't worry, I wouldn't do anything inappropriate. And you know I'm a good driver..."

Emily rolled her eyes at Jack's ridiculous words, after she saw a few taxis pass by. "Don't you know that there's no such thing as a free ride in this world?" she said.

Slowly, Emily turned to talk to Jack. When he made eye contact with her, his entire body froze. It was as if the whole world behind the woman standing in front of him had disappeared.

Long, chestnut strands of hair cascaded and curled down her back like molten onyx. Her milky white skin was brushed with makeups and blush to bring out the sharp structure on her face. The haute couture suit of silk and ermine accentuated her graceful features and the extra 10 cm from her heels complimented her overall appearance. Judging by the way she carried herself in public, it wasn't hard to tell that Emily was a successful gold-collar worker.

Once, Emily's long, black hair was straight and simple, just enough to highlight her innocence. She would hardly wear make-up and she preferred to wear light coloured dresses with flat, comfortable shoes. The importance she gave towards practicality and simplicity showed just how pure and innocent she was back in the day.

However, the past four years had witnessed her slowly growing and evolving.

Emily's previous appearance was so different from what she looked like now, that only a few of her acquaintances would recognize at first sight. No one could believe that it was the same person.

Nobody could ever imagine that the Emily from the past was now, Miss Lu, the daughter of the Lu Family.

Jack gazed at her face, affectionately. He could feel his heart throbbing inside his chest, and he stammered, "I know there is no such thing as a free ride, but, but...I willingly give my heart to you. I really, really like you."
