A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily and Jonas talked as if they were the best of friends. Meanwhile, she couldn't even look at Jacob straight in the eyes.

At the thought of this, Jacob's heart was filled with hot, fiery rage. He looked around his office and felt utterly irritated. He got up and went outside, but before he did, he couldn't take his frustration anymore and wildly threw the things on his table to the ground.

Jacob's actions could be heard all the way down the corridor. One of Jacob's female secretaries, who was stationed near his office, was startled. She then saw her boss stomping his feet while he walked away.

'Jacob looks miserable. This might be the perfect chance to get close to him!'

At the thought of this, the secretary had a scheming grin on her face. She had waited so long for an opportunity like this and there was no way she was going to let it simply pass by.

Once Jacob returned to his office, she straightened her clothes and checked if her makeup was still fine. Upon seeing her fair, beautiful face in the mirror, she stood up, walked towards the door, and confidently pushed it open. She walked inside in the most enchanting way she could. She then worriedly asked, "Mr. Gu, what's wrong? Is there something bothering you?" When she noticed Jacob's dejected expression and all the documents chaotically scattered on the ground, she immediately understood what was going on.

"Did I give you permission to come in? Get out! This has nothing to do with you!" Jacob yelled in a fit of rage. The way he shouted at the secretary was absolutely terrifying.

However, the female secretary was completely unfazed by this. A faint smile remained on her face as if she didn't take Jacob's words seriously.

She casually picked up the documents on the ground, and then slowly walked towards Jacob. She gently placed her fingers on his temples and massaged them. She then said in a soft voice, "Mr. Gu, don't be so angry. It's bad for your health. If you need someone to listen, I'll be here for you."

It was all or nothing. Being recognized by Jacob was a tall task and there was no time to feel any shame.

Especially since Jacob didn't open many windows of opportunity and had a cold demeanor towards female staff. His troubles now was a rare lucky break for her.

"Get out! Don't you dare come in here again!" Jacob slapped the secretary's hand away the moment it touched him. He was completely disgusted with the woman's attempt to seduce him.

As a result of his action, the secretary accidentally fell to the ground. However, he didn't show any signs of sympathy toward her. He even threatened her that if she didn't get out right at that moment, he would drag her out by himself.
