A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

It would've been easy for Jack to find where Emily lived, but he didn't want her to find him disgusting for such a thing.

He had a plan to do all the things orderly. He would take things slowly, and have Emily accept him little by little.

The next day, Jack ordered his secretary to call Lu Jewelry and make a private appointment with Emily to discuss matters of cooperation.

Surely enough, Emily, being the workaholic of the Lu Jewelry company, didn't refuse.

In his excitement, Jack arrived as soon as it was time for the meeting. The secretary directed him to Emily's office, and he was in high spirits on the way there.

Knock, knock. Finally in front of the office, he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. He tapped his foot and unconsciously pulled at his tie to relieve the tension.

The knob turned with a click, and the door swung open.

Emily's face was cold, and Jack was at a loss for what expression to give in return. "Miss Lu-"

"Are you here to talk about cooperation? Come in, please," she asked before he could continue. The smile she put on was clearly formulaic, but it was still enough to flatter the man.

He made sure to pull his reactions back and look as serious as possible to maintain the facade. "Yes, I'm here for cooperation," he said, as if he had no other intentions.

She invited him into the office. The situation of the company was at a low point, and there didn't seem to be any sign of it getting better, so Emily knew she had to make the most out of this opportunity.

An hour passed before they ended the appointment.

All Jack could really think about while they discussed was how he could possibly make it last longer. Staring at the woman brought him happiness and satisfaction, after all.

Emily was quite satisfied with his offer, but she was also aware of why he really wanted to cooperate with Lu. She was a businesswoman, and it would've been stupid to refuse the deal because of personal matters.
