A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 68

Although what had happened in the banquet was very surprising, nobody dared to spread rumours, because Jacob had suppressed the big news outlets. Besides, Tina was not willing to believe that Jacob would fall in love with a woman like Emily.

Tina deeply hated her, because not only did Emily steal the limelight from her at the banquet, she also made her lose face in front of Jacob!

Lately, she had been planning to go to Jacob's house to apologize to him, as it would give her an excuse to spend some time with him. However, she could not make him see her even for just one time.

Tina was incensed, blaming all her misery on Emily alone. Her best friend Jasmyn, shared a bitter hatred towards Emily as well, so she offered advice to Tina.

"Emily is a jewelry designer, isn't she? Perhaps we can ask her to design jewelry for us. What do you think of that idea? As the old saying goes, 'Customer is God'. So if we ask her to design jewelry for us, we can purposely make her life miserable!"

In truth, the idea came out of Rose's devious mind. She told it to Jasmyn, and Jasmyn took it to Tina.

Tina considered it as an excellent idea and agreed with it at once. She asked someone to call LA Jewelry on her behalf, and chose Emily to design her jewelry.

After a few days, at the LA Company.

As soon as Emily got to the office, her secretary told her that the clients who had asked her to design a jewelry for them a few days ago were waiting for her now. Judging from their clothes and mannerisms, they seemed to be important people.

Emily took some time to prepare herself and then went into the VIP room. To her surprise, the important clients waiting in the room were the two ladies who had deliberately caused problems for her at the banquet last time.

"Are you the chief designer of LA?" Tina looked at her with scorn and said,"It looks like that you are not up to much."

Emily remained polite and kept smiling courteously, as she said,"Ladies, I have worked out the prototype of the customized jewelry you ordered the last time. Would you like to have a look?"

Jasmyn snorted contemptuously and said,"Of course, or else why would we come here? Do you think we are so bored that we've come here just to see your funny face?"

Emily did not let them get on her nerves. These silver-spoon fed ladies were brought up in an extraordinary environment, so they did not know how to use profane words like regular people did. Thick-skinned, Emily could easily put up with their sneering and whining without breaking a sweat.

Besides, she had been subjected to lots of words that were much more vulgar than theirs, so she did not mind them at all.

Tina ordered several jewelries, which could be counted as a big order for their company. Emily asked someone to bring her file of design drawings in, and handed them to the two ladies politely.

While Tina did not even cast a glance at them, Jasmyn snatched the drawings from Emily and flipped through the pages without even going through the designs carefully, and said scornfully,"What is this? This is pure rubbish. You are an insult to jewelry design!"

Jasmyn tore the drawings into pieces and threw them into the air as she said that. The small pieces of paper, looked like snow falling during winter nights.

"How could you..." Completely shocked and surprised, Emily never expected that Jasmyn would just rip her drawings to pieces.

"So what? You think I did wrong?" Jasmyn gave her a glance with complacency and said,"I've got nothing against you. It's just that your design drawings are rubbish. Now your designs look much better than they ever did."

Emily gently pursed her lips and tried her best to restrain her discontent, and said,"Okay, we will work out the designs that will satisfy you."

"Satisfy us?" Tina finally looked her straight in the eye and said,"Do you know that these jewels are meant to be worn in my wedding with Jacob? If you cannot impress me, I suppose this company will close down!"

'Wedding?'

Just as Tina had intended, Emily sensitively caught the key word in her sentence.

'Are Jacob and the Lady Tao getting married?

Why am I feeling a little bit uncomfortable to hear this news?

Jacob already has a partner, but he still flirts with me and treats me like an object. Yes, maybe that's why I feel uncomfortable, not that I have feelings for him or anything.

When Jacob gets married, he will never be able to come to me and flirt with me. I can't wait for that day! Yes! That is it!'

Noticing the changing expression on Emily's face, Tina assumed Emily was sorrowful. Emily's misery brought her satisfaction, as she said,"Emily, you know what? There are some things that you can never have. You should never try to steal those things from people..."

'Jacob will never fall in love with such a low-level woman. She must have played some kind of magic trick to seduce him. That scheming bitch!'

Emily endured Tina's remark and replied,"I will try my best to satisfy you."

Tina sneered,"I will come here again tomorrow."

The underlying meaning was that Emily had to finish the design drawings within one day. Her workload would be unimaginably huge.

However, Emily accepted the challenge and stayed up all night to finish drafting the design drawings.

The next day, Tina and Jasmyn were back in the company as they had said before.

Tina was surprised to see the design drawings, since she was almost certain that Emily would not be able to finish her work on time. In truth, she was counting on Emily to fail, as that was how she wanted to make her life miserable, but unexpectedly, Emily had delivered as promised.

However, for Tina, it was not a big deal. All she had to do was to feign dissatisfaction, and Emily would not pass the trial.

Tina flipped through a few pages of the design for a while, as if she were checking them carefully. All of a sudden, she threw all of the design drawings at Emily's face. "Bang!"

Emily was stunned, but she soon reacted and asked Tina,"Miss Tao, what do you mean?"

"Look at the rubbish you have designed! Do you think that the jewelries made from these design drawings will fit me? I suppose you didn't put your heart and soul in these drawings!

"I'm sorry. I will rectify them."

On the third day, Tina was not satisfied.

On the fourth day, she was still not satisfied.

On the fifth day, she was still not satisfied.

On the sixth day, the rectified design drawings finally won a little approval from the two ladies.

Emily could finally relax. The two ladies had been torturing her in the past couple of days. They were not easily satisfied. It was a daily routine for them to tease and humiliate her.

Emily tried her best to pursue perfection and rectify the design drawings over and over again. Finally, all her hard work had paid off. Her clients were finally satisfied, but it was also possible that they stopped because they got tired of torturing her.

The next step was to adjust and deal with details.

The perfect jewelry design was born. As usual, Tina came to check the design, but she "accidentally" overturned the cup filled with hot coffee.

Emily reached her hand out, instinctively, trying to protect the design drawings. The hot coffee burned the back of her hand, as Emily immediately screamed in pain.

Tina was shocked. She only intended to ruin those design drawings, but now things had gone too far.

'Well, she deserves it. I don't care about her anyway.'

Emily's face frowned like a dying flower, as she laid eyes on the soggy design drawings. She ran to the restroom to apply water on her wound. It took a while for the pain to subside.

After a while, she heard Tina's voice from outside,"Designer, remember, give me the same design drawings tomorrow. I will excuse what you have done today."

Her last sentence sounded like she was making it easy on Emily.

Frustrated, Emily washed her hand under the running water as her patience started to run thin.

Earlier on, as she was having technical problems with her computer, she was unable to back up those design drawings. As a result, she had to draw them from scratch using only her memory.
