A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 37 No Time Like The Present

Sam saw the name "Jacob Gu" on the package, so he picked it up. Sure enough, he saw a letter "E" on the mail. He knew who it was from, without a doubt.

"This is Mr. Jacob's parcel. Why did you not hand it in?"

Seeing the seriousness in Sam's face, the receptionist became cautious. "Mr. Jacob has a lot of admirers who send him gifts and packages here every now and then. You are the one who told us to deal with them as we saw it."

Sam remembered that he did say those words in accordance to Jacob's instructions. He coughed to conceal his embarrassment. "In the future, remember to report me first when there are new parcels."

"Yes, Mr. Sam."

Sam brought the parcel directly to the president's office. He presented it to Jacob as if he were presenting a treasure,"Mr. Jacob, here is your parcel."

Jacob didn't even lift his eyes to look at him. "I said that I don't want to see those unidentified parcels."

"But this one might be from Miss Emily."

"Her?" The pen in Jacob's hand stopped moving. He raised his eyes to look at Sam,"Let me see."

Sam handed the parcel to Jacob, keeping in mind not to tell him that it was just picked up from the trash. "Mr. Jacob, the thugs who had harassed Miss Emily have been taken to the police station."

"Then let them spend the rest of their lives in prison."

"As for Rose, we have not found any relevant evidence at this moment to charge her with."

"Keep eyes on her."

"Yes." Sam nodded and walked out of the room.

As soon as he left, Jacob opened the package carefully. It was a new blazer. The blazer was fashionable and black in colour, and it was from a low-end brand.

Generally speaking, Jacob, who was a loyal customer of couture, would never look at this brand, but since this was from Emily, it was very special to him.

Jacob took off his couture and put on the new coat. It fitted his perfect body very well. It was comfortable to wear and the high quality of the fabric was visibly evident.

However, he was still annoyed at Emily for what she had said the other day. The fact that they had not spoken in a long time, made him even more unhappy.

But since Emily had sued for peace first, he was willing to accept it.

Jacob then attended a meeting wearing the blazer Emily had gotten him. Many people at the meeting were awed by its sleek and sharp look.

After the meeting, the top executives all stepped forward to flatter him. "What brand is Mr. Jacob's blazer? It looks so good."

Jacob smiled secretly, and said the name of a brand. Everyone kept saying how good he looked in it.

"All right." Although he knew that it was just compliment, Jacob's face was glowing with satisfaction. Jacob let out a tiny smile, even though it was barely noticeable.

After he left, the people began to talk about it.

"What happened to Mr. Jacob?

Did you notice the change in his character?"

"Why do I feel so frightened by his smile?"

"May be we should also try to wear clothes from that brand?"

"So, do we need to tell Mr. Jacob that he forgot to cut the tag from his blazer..."

Only Sam knew that his Boss was very happy because he had found an excuse to see Miss Emily.

……

In the LA company.

Emily didn't think that she would run into Jacob in the company. After a moment's hesitation, she decided to ignore him, but he walked towards her, nonetheless.

"Emily, How dare you! Pretending not to know me?"

Jacob locked his eyes to hers and wagged the phone in his hand. He continued,"And put me into the blacklist?"

Emily heard him but avoided making eye contact with him. She looked to the left and then to the right, attempting to escape from Jacob's gaze.

Emily was certain that Jacob would cut all ties with her because of what she had said to him. She didn't think he would come to see her only a few days later.

Assuming what Emily was thinking, Jacob raised his eyebrow. "Since you've been so sincere, I will forgive you."

In any case, she was the one he had chosen.

"Sincere?"

Emily was so confused and all she wanted to do was to disappear into thin air.

Jacob, however, did not give her the chance to weasel out. He cornered her and said,"Ah! Do you wish to deny sending me this blazer?" Huh?"

Soon, Emily noticed that Jacob was wearing the blazer she had sent to him. Surprisingly, it fit him perfectly well and made him look dapper. "I promised, so I..."

"You also promised to take me out to dinner? What about that promise?"

"…… I remember that."

"No time like the present. Make it today."

"Eh?"

Emily could not understand what was going on inside Jacob's mind. What happened to Jacob?

Did he really forget about what she said the other day?

It was very unlikely, as he was very angry that day, but if that was the case, then why was he in such a good mood today? Was it because she sent him the blazer...

Before she could clarify herself to him, Jacob dragged her off into his car.

Jacob took Emily to the same restaurant as before. Emily was so worried that she held on to her wallet tightly and followed Jacob. When she looked up to see the man in front of her, she noticed the price tag hanging from his collar, she burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jacob turned around in confusion. Jacob noticed how her big eyes were as beautiful as the crescent moon. Her laughter made him smile.

"Get in first." Emily pointed to the door of the box and hesitated for a moment. "But you can't be like you were before..."

"What do you mean, 'before'?"

Jacob asked, deliberately.

Emily bit her lip and said,"You can't take advantage of me."

Jacob wanted to tease her, but he was afraid that it would scare her away. So he just snorted. "I can have any kind of woman I want."

The implication was that it did not have to be Emily.

Emily looked at him for a few seconds and sat down, skeptically. Then she pointed at the back of Jacob. "The tag is still hanging from your blazer."

No wonder there were many people peeking at Jacob, on the way there. They must have been amused.

"Tag?" Jacob finally remembered. When he opened the parcel and took out the blazer, he wore it straight away. He totally forgot about the tag! So he had the tag with him all day?!

The key point was that no one had the courage to tell him.

Emily then laughed again. "My cousin was like you when he was a little child. He always liked new clothes. Every time he'd get new clothes, he'd be so excited to show off that he'd changed into it immediately without taking off the tag ..."

'Was Jacob the same?'

Immediately, Emily shook off the idea from her mind. How could it be possible? Emily did not notice Jacob's shock for a moment.

"Help me get rid of it."

Emily looked around for a knife, but she couldn't find any. She couldn't break the thread with her bare hands so she bit the tag off.

Jacob felt that her warm breath was like soft feathers, gently rubbing his neck, itching, tingling and tickling his senses.

This feeling, however, only lasted for a few seconds.

"All right."

Emily quickly removed the tag and threw it into the trash bin. When Jacob turned around, Emily's eyes met his deep and dark eyes, like they were calling out to her. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
