A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jack's face widened, speechless. He opened his mouth to speak something but decided against it.

From his perspective, Emily was impure. It was like she was some sauce, with two men indulging themselves with her.

"Calm down. Just think it over when your head's finally clear." Emily spoke with no hint of emotion. She stood up and paid for the meal and left straight away.

Jack decided not to chase her. He just sat there with both of his hands tucked under his chin. He felt gloom wash all over his body.

As he looked at the delicate dishes on the table, he felt anger suddenly surge in him. He gritted his teeth and kicked the table.

The dishes fell down and crashed into pieces onto the floor.

His heart had never felt so heavy in his entire life. It's like as if he was carrying a large sack on his shoulders.

Emily went back to the company and boarded the elevator. Then she found herself alone, contemplating to herself.

She punched the button, quietly, and emotionless. She looked at her reflection at the mirror on the elevator's wall. She sighed, "I look dead."

The next second, she stared at her broken expression at the mirror. She leaned onto the wall, trying her best to stand still. She let out a few tears before she took deep breaths to compose herself again.

"Breathe in, breathe out. It will pass," She muttered to herself.

A few hours ago, she saw Jacob. She decided to mask her unhappiness with a cold blank mask. She badly needed to vent out and if she didn't do that, she would go insane.

She thought that once she saw Jacob once more, she would be able to face him calmly and treat him as a stranger. Unfortunately, she only found herself sobbing all alone in the elevator because of him.

He became a part of her life. No matter how she tried her best to forget him, her heart told a different story. She was unable to ignore him completely.

When she finally returned to Z Country, she tried everything not to flash back at the memories with Jacob. His smiles, his touch, his kisses. She tried to control her feelings and not to think about him. She even to an extent such as not reading the reports about him.

However, fate can be cruel.

It must be God's punishment to her the moment He let their paths cross once again.
