A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

The next day, Jacob arrived early at the company.

He entered his office, and as soon as he sat down, his phone rang.

He leisurely took it out of his pocket to check who it was. He thought that it might just be a random business partner, but when he saw the caller ID, a pleased smile made its way to his face.

Sure enough, David hadn't let him down. Jacob didn't know a man that could compare with the brilliance of his dear friend in these kinds of tasks.

One would be envious of Jacob's friendship with David, just because of the mere fact that he was an extremely reliable friend. Unfortunately, they couldn't get together as much as they liked, because now, David was always busy with his wife.

'What a pity!' Jacob thought while shaking his head. But on the bright side, David was still as dependable as before.

Just like with the trouble he faced at that moment, Jacob knew that he could count on David's help whenever he needed it. The brotherhood they had was priceless. No amount of money could buy this kind of friendship.

"Hey, Jacob, I've done a bit of digging about that doctor. I've sent my findings to your e-mail. Don't forget to check it! By the way, what can you say about my efficiency? I'm still as good as before, right?" David called early that morning to report his results. However, he was a lot more eager to be praised by Jacob rather than help him. Hence, he wore a smug look on his face.

Although he was a married man and paid little attention to things outside his family, performing investigations was a profession he had relied on early in his life for survival. With his immense experience, it wasn't surprising that he was still so good after all these years.

David didn't want to admit it, but he was thankful as well for having a friend like Jacob. With his current lifestyle, getting the chance to do investigations like this was rare. But being friends with the head of the HT Group allowed him to do some from time to time.

"Yes, yes, you're extremely efficient as usual. You never let me down," Jacob willingly praised his friend. He knew deep down that David enjoyed getting his ego fed.

To say that David was good was an understatement. He was meticulous with his ways to the point that he never came empty-handed from his investigations. Regrettably, he had decided to stop once he had gotten married to his lovely wife.

"Hey, calling me in the middle of the night to investigate someone the next day isn't nice, you know? Additionally, forcing me to leave my warm bed to stand in a cold balcony was rude. So tell me, how are you going to make it up to me?" David bitterly uttered to Jacob at the thought of how much he had shivered last night.
