A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1471 Exasperated

Emily didn't understand how Jacob could be so hard-headed about this kind of thing. Jonas was her friend, no matter who he was. Shouldn't friends trust each other no matter what?

His identity shouldn't matter to anyone. The only important thing was that he was a friend of Emily's.

However, Jacob just couldn't fathom that idea at all.

"You talk to me in that manner, again and again, all because of this Jonas person. Is he really more important than me, your husband? The person you love?" Due to his intoxicated state, Jacob was able to get rid of his filter and finally spoke out the things he wanted to say to her.

Every time that Emily defended Jonas, Jacob couldn't help but get jealous and think crazy thoughts. It would invade his mind and make him restless for days.

However, Emily always made it seem like it wasn't a big deal. She turned a blind eye to his discomfort about their friendship. She would mention Jonas again and again, as if they had a special relationship or something. It frustrated Jacob to no end.

"You always think too much. Jonas and I are just friends, I told you that. What else do you want me to do? Right now, you are acting very childish about this whole thing!" Hating the fact that she was being accused of being less than loyal, Emily shouted at Jacob.

She was aware that the two didn't get along well with each other. Jacob really didn't like Jonas.

For some reason, whenever she mentioned Jonas, Jacob would become angry. It was as if he turned into a completely different person that she just couldn't communicate with.

Today was definitely no exception. She was also tired and had lost her patience, so she decided to walk away. Quietly, she marched to the bed to get some rest and left a sulking Jacob behind.

The two of them gave each other the silent treatment again. Neither one of them wanted to talk to the other first.

On the early morning of the next day, Jacob returned to the same bar and ran into the same woman from the night before.

His presence was well-received. For a moment, the woman was shocked to see him, but she eventually walked up to him with an alluring smile.

"Hello again. Did you have a great time last night? Would you like to have another drink now?" She was thrilled to see Jacob again.

Last night, she had attempted to seduce him several times but he hadn't given in. So, to see him come back was quite a shock.

She thought to herself that with her beauty and charm, there was no way that men wouldn't be seduced eventually.

"Did you mess with my phone last night? Don't try and play dumb. I know it was you. People like you disgust me," Jacob spat out at the woman with an intense glare. He had been drunk at that time, but not so drunk that he would forget her face.

Even though he had drunk a lot more than usual yesterday, he still remembered the appearance of the woman in the bar. He was sure that this was her, even if his memory was somewhat vague. She was definitely the same woman from last night.

When he thought of the fact that she was the reason that he had missed Emily's call, Jacob felt sick to his stomach.

He had kept his anger bottled up since last night. It had been threatening to burst even before he came to the bar. So, as soon as he saw the woman from last night, he immediately scolded her.

The woman had thought that Jacob had changed his mind and come to find her for a little fun, but she was met with his anger instead. She hadn't expected him to say such unpleasant words as soon as he opened his mouth. She felt a little offended by his tone.

"You came all the way here in the early morning just to tell me that? What is wrong with you?" the woman retorted, her voice full of disappointment.

She suddenly lost interest in conversing with Jacob and turned her head away. She had work to do and needed to get ready for today's business.

She looked at Jacob again and felt pity towards him. She hadn't expected that someone so good- looking would behave this way.

"Let me tell you this. You are the reason my wife and I are in a fight right now. This is a big deal. You are fired. Don't even think about coming to work here from now on," Jacob snapped at her.

"Don't be absurd. Who on earth do you think you are? You barge in here in broad daylight to make trouble. Do you have any idea whose territory this is?" the woman retorted, glaring back at Jacob.

'Who the hell is this guy?' the woman thought to herself as she pressed her lips together in anger. 'Even the boss hasn't said anything. Who does this guy think he is to give orders like that?!'

Just last night, she had thought that the man in front of her was a good man. Now, she realized that she had just been blinded by his looks. How could a man who liked to talk big be a good man?

The woman sneered. She looked at the man from head to toe and concluded that he was indeed a terrible man. She didn't want to be involved with him in any way.

"Where is your boss? Ask him to come out." Jacob stood proud and tall, not minding the mocking look that the woman was giving him. He insisted on seeing the bar owner in person.

Since the woman looked down on him so much, he had to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, she wouldn't know what he was capable of doing.

"I am the owner."

Jacob called out several times for the bar owner but nobody dared to come out. Just as he was about to lose his patience, a thin and tall man came out from behind the bar and announced his position.

The tension in the bar was overwhelming. It seemed that Jacob had really just come back here to cause a kerfuffle. However, the bar owner had witnessed a lot of incidents like this in the bar and was already used to it.

At first, he had paid no attention to the argument between Jacob and his employee. He hadn't wanted to come out, but Jacob had kept yelling for him to come out so he had no choice.

"I am going to buy this bar from you. A lawyer will come over later to handle the paperwork. Now, I need you to do something for me and fire this woman at once," Jacob ordered the bar owner calmly. He didn't look at the woman but pointed a somewhat accusatory finger at her as he gave the order.

When the customers inside the bar overheard what Jacob had said, they all thought that he was just being arrogant and didn't believe a word he said at all. They just stood still and watched the ruckus with curious eyes and open mouths.

A minute later, the owner of the bar went in and answered a phone call. Suddenly, the situation seemed to have changed.

"You don't need to work here anymore," the bar owner told the woman calmly as he hung up the phone.

A minute ago, the woman in the bar had been criticizing Jacob's arrogance in her mind, but now, she had gotten fired by her boss. Shocked and upset, she just stood there in front of them with a pitiful expression. Her eyes looked blankly into the distance.

"You better remember this. Nobody can stop me from doing what I want to do."

After he finished talking, Jacob smirked mockingly and walked past the woman, who was still in shock just like everyone else in that bar.

Once he was out of the bar, Jacob suddenly remembered that there was an important meeting in the company that he had to attend to, so he hurried back to the building. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

In the meeting room, the supervisors reported to him about their recent work one by one, but Jacob wasn't really paying attention to what they were saying at all. He just felt irritable. The noisy environment around him made his mood even worse and he was on the verge of losing his temper completely.

"What is this? Is this what you consider a decent report? Take it out of my sight and redo it at once!" Jacob snapped as he carelessly threw the document to the ground.

Everyone in the meeting room looked at each other in shock but kept their mouths shut. They were afraid of making Jacob's bad temper worse.

"Mr. Gu, these reports were made according to your instructions," said the one who had been scolded in a defensive manner.

"Are you serious? You're telling me that this is how I instructed you to do it? My goodness, even a 10- year-old kid can do better than this! You should feel ashamed of yourself!" Jacob shouted angrily and pounded the table.

The employees in the company were getting on his nerves. He pulled his tie loose in an irritated manner. 'If they can't even do such a simple task well, then why bother coming to work? Why don't they all just go home and quit wasting my time?' Jacob thought to himself with a stone-cold expression.
