A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 31 Kiss Me

"It is true, so what?" Jacob glanced at him, dismissed him for being too naive and said, "I am the majority shareholder."

Jack found it difficult to understand why Jacob would want to invest in Victor's company. If Jacob was interested in jewelry, it would have been much easier for him to run a jewelry company on his own.

"Uncle, do you know that Victor..."

Jack couldn't even finish his sentence without feeling nauseous. It was really hard for him to admit that his own woman and Victor were having an affair.

"What about Victor?"

Jacob looked at him blankly. "He is like a brother to me. You should also address him as uncle according to his seniority."

"Uncle?"

Jack was about to spit blood when he heard Jacob.

Jack was only willing to call Jacob "uncle", after all, Jacob was his senior in the family. But who was Victor to him?

Why should he call him Uncle Victor?

Not to mention that Victor was Emily's paramour!

How could he ever accept that!

"Jack, do you really think I don't know what you've been up to lately?"

The cold and dreadful voice of Jacob brought Jack back to his senses. Jack wanted to defend himself, but in the end he decided to tighten his lips and shut his mouth.

'Turns out he knew everything about Victor and Emily, and still he chose to invest in LA jewelry, regardless. ' Jack was furious.

"You have not paid any attention to our family business lately, instead you've been wasting your time on a woman."

Even from his chair, Jacob had a stronger commanding presence compared to Jack who was standing there, motionlessly. "You have been given a good position, but if you don't excel at your work, there are lots of people who would want to replace you in a heartbeat."

Jack's facial expression changed drastically. He knew what Jacob said was not only a warning, but also a fact. After all, it was a large family business with multiple branches and many people from his family who would gladly take Jack's place in the company.

Family love had always been the weakness in a wealthy family, while strength was the only thing mattered.

"Uncle, I..." Jack tried to defend himself, but he was abruptly interrupted by Jacob.

"I will transfer you to the M Country branch. In the next term, I want you to focus your mind on your work, rather than women, understand?!"

This decision was so sudden and final that it frightened Jack.

Jack assumed that Jacob had exiled him in order to teach him a lesson, but if he really left the country, wouldn't it mean that Emily and Victor would be free to be together?

How could he make peace with that! How could he even allow such thing to happen?

If he couldn't get to be happy, those two wouldn't get to be happy either!

"Uncle, I don't want to go to the M Country branch. Please, let me stay at the headquarters, I will definitely..." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Jack, do you want to defy my order?"

"No, uncle, I..."

"There is no room for negotiations."

The voice of Jacob was cold and stern.

Jacob opened a file on his desk, and shifted his attention away from Jack.

Jack had no other choice but to swallow his anger. Although Jack was not happy with Jacob's decision, he could do nothing but agree to his uncle's order, reluctantly, "Yes, I understand."

Bearing all the prying eyes of her colleagues, Emily enjoyed a few days of lunch benefits. When Sam finally stopped bringing her food, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

On that same day, the mythical majority shareholder also decided to make his first appearance at the LA Jewelry Company. However, instead of making a public appearance, he specifically asked for Emily to see him in the office.

Emily did not suspect anything out of the ordinary. She assumed that the other party had instructions for her, so she quickly went to the designated office.

She stood in front of the door, and as soon as she knocked on the door, she heard a man's voice, "Come in."

Emily casually pushed the door in, looked up and saw a familiar handsome face, "Mr. Jacob?"

Emily was shocked. Was Jacob the rich and powerful shareholder Victor had mentioned before?

He must be kidding, right? Jacob, the president of the Gu Consortium? Even if he was interested in jewelry, it's very unlikely of him to invest in a company that had just been newly established...

Jacob raised his sharp eye-brows and walked towards the stunned little woman. "Are you surprised? Is this unexpected?"

"Hahaha..." Emily smiled drily back at him. Of course it was very unexpected, but it was based more on fear rather than surprise.

Jacob did not care about her answer. He walked up to her directly, and suddenly, he reached out his arms and lifted her off the floor.

Emily screamed out in fear of what was going on. Before she started to struggle harder, Jacob put her down. His low and magnetic voice ran in her ear, "Heaver."

Emily's face turned red. From the bottom of her heart, she thought, 'After the good meals for lunch these past few days... It would be strange if I did not gain any weight!"

"A bit heavier would be better, " Jacob insisted in a serious voice.

Emily took two steps back to prevent him from making any more moves. Out of anger, she retorted, "I am not a pig. Why do I need to be so fat?"

"Mr. Jacob, or maybe I should call you BOSS Jacob, may I ask you why you wanted to see me alone?" asked Emily, after she remembered the real reason of her visit.

Jacob's eyes locked on her face, "Can't I call you in for nothing?

You really have no conscience. "

"Not while we're on the clock. For other private matters, we can always talk after work..."

"But now the company's final word is up to me."

Emily was rendered speechless by Jacob's arrogance. She paused to think, then asked, "Did you force Mr. Victor to give up his rights on the company?"

Jacob's face suddenly fell. "Why would I need to force him?"

Was that really the kind of person she thought he was?

Emily soon realized that she had crossed the line, but she stood her ground and continued, "Otherwise, why would Mr. Victor..."

"Victor has a lot of concerns in his mind, but this company isn't one of them."

"Concerns?" Emily looked at Jacob with great surprise.

Jacob suddenly reached out and flicked her on the forehead and said, "Children should not ask so many questions."

While rubbing her forehead, Emily asked in confusion, "You sound like you know Mr. Victor very well? Are you two friends?"

"Yes."

Emily just said "Oh" and nodded embarrassingly. "I've misunderstood you...I am sorry..."

"But if you didn't mention him, I wouldn't have remembered this."

Jacob suddenly changed his tone. "When you said thanks to Victor, you gave him a coat. What about me?"

Emily was taken aback. She explained instantly, "That was because Mr. Victor's coat was ruined when he was trying to protect me..."

"I don't want to hear your excuses. I've helped you so many times. Why haven't you noticed that? Emily, you should know better than to favour one benefactor more than another."

Emily was unable to refute his words. Instead, she felt that Jacob had a very strong point...

Victor, however, was not the same as Jacob. At the very least, he has never taken advantage of her as boldly as Jacob has...

"What do you want?" Emily was starting to feel helpless.

Jacob's eyes were filled with mischief. "Kiss me."

Emily licked her lips and said, unequivocally, "No."

The two of them couldn't keep on going like that.

Jacob knew her temper. Although, he was somewhat dissatisfied, he did not intend to force her to change her mind. "Then, I want you to give me a coat as well."

Why would Victor have one and not him? That's utterly preposterous.

"All right, but you may have to wait until next month when I get my salary."

Emily did the calculations in her mind. According to Jacob's taste, buying a coat and meal for him was not going to be a small expense.

But she had to pay him back. Jacob had helped her get her life back. Emily appreciated him for that.
