A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 78

Nothing happened that night.

The next morning, Emily woke up, feeling dizzy and groggy. She sat up in a daze for a while, then she realized that she was not in her bedroom, but Jacob's!

There was no one in the bedroom. She looked at herself with surprise and found that somebody had changed her clothes. But fortunately, there was no strange feeling on her body, so... 'Nothing happened, right?'

Her clothes, which had been washed, dried and ironed, was placed at the head of the bed. She got up and dressed herself in a hurry. Just then the bedroom door was pushed open by someone from the outside.

Emily was taken aback. To her relief, it wasn't Jacob, but a young girl standing near the door.

Wasn't it considered rude to come in without knocking at the door?

Was Jacob's room open for every girl to just come and go as they pleased?

The young girl was a maid, whose name was Zola. She was surprised to see that Emily had already dressed up neatly. "Miss, you're awake!"

Zola was expecting to see Emily make an exhibition with her clothes in disarray, but she was surprised to find that Emily had already dressed up so quickly.

"Mr. Jacob asked you to go downstairs and have breakfast with him."

Zola was good at disguising herself as a well-mannered girl.

Emily nodded and said," Okay, got it."

Even though Zola had a gentle disposition about her, Emily sensed a bit of hostility from Zola.

Although there was no overt hostility on Zola's part, Emily had a gut feeling that she and Zola weren't going to get along very well.

Perhaps... Zola was also interested in Jacob?

That wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary as Jacob was so likeable that most women who laid eyes on him found themselves attracted to him.

Emily told herself not to be jealous.

She walked downstairs to the dining room. As soon as her eyes met Jacob's, she instantly looked the other way timidly.

Jacob's face grew grave as he said," Come here and sit down."

Emily obeyed and sat down beside him.

Jacob passed Emily a small steamed bun.

As Emily ate the bun quietly, she could not fight the compulsion anymore," Jacob, nothing strange happened last night, did it?"

Jacob raised his eyebrow at her question and answered her with another question," If I say yes, what would you do?"

Jacob's vagueness frightened Emily. "What did I do last night?"

Emily's only memory from last night was of sleeping with Jacob in the same bed. Did she really do something to Jacob last night?

Pleased by her reaction, Jacob said slowly," Eat your breakfast first, and then I'll tell you."

Emily obediently ate a small steamed bun and looked at him eagerly.

Jacob's heart was melting because of her adorable expression. He smiled and said," Last night, you showed your love for me. You cried and begged me to hold you."

"Oh my gosh!" Emily choked on her food and coughed strenuously. She settled down after she had a bit of the soya-bean milk from the cup Jacob had passed to her, then she asked," What did you say just now?"

Jacob repeated patiently," You told me that you liked me."

"That is impossible!" said Emily, in complete disbelief.

Why did she tell Jacob that she liked him? Was she out of her mind?

When Zola heard that, she looked at Emily enviously, thinking that Emily was indeed a shameless woman who seduced Jacob.

"I have a recording." Jacob asked Zola to leave the room. He made sure that they were the only people left in the dining room, then he took out his cellphone and played a recording from last night.
