A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 140

Emily didn't think that Victor had a crush on her, but she still wanted to clarify the matter and keep her distance from him.

During the following noon, Emily was so tired that she couldn't keep her eyes open. The girl stretched a bit her long and thin arms, laid her head on the office desk and fell asleep almost immediately. At the same time, without her noticing, someone pushed the door of her office open and got inside.

Victor was standing in front of the desk, looking at Emily. His upper lip trembled slightly. In his eyes, there were no emotions.

After a little while, Victor got closer to Emily in the intent to wake her up. He tapped her face with his finger,"Emily?"

Not getting any answers, Victor decided it was better for him to leave since she must have been very tired to be sleeping like that. So, he took off his coat and gently covered Emily's body. Then he left and slowly closed the door.

"Pa!" When the door closed, Emily woke up and her eyes were lucid and very emotional.

When she was fully awake then realized that Victor called her name. At first, she thought that the voice, so gentle and pleasant, was coming from a dream.

Victor... What did that mean?

Emily licked her lips and took off the coat from her back. Her expression was a mixture of contrasting sentiments.

Soon was evening, and as always, Emily was the last to leave the company, and so was Victor. The two people met in the hallway.

"Mr. Victor, you forgot your coat." After a few seconds of hesitation, she timidly handed the coat to him and then said,"You did not have to do it, Mr. Victor. You should have just woke me up."

The man took the coat from her hands. His expression was as cold as a snow mountain.

He folded the coat over his lower arm, then chuckled and asked,"You didn't like it?"

Emily said without any further hesitation,"I didn't like it."

Victor was struck by her coldness,"I don't believe you."

Emily was suddenly pressed against the wall. Her big eyes flashed with surprise and fear.

"Mr. Victor, you..."

"I like you, Don't you know it?" said Victor, looking directly into her eyes. His voice was soft but determined.

Emily was stunned by this news, and she could not believe that this was real. She stuttered,"I...I don't know... Mr. Victor... no kiddings..."

She was sure that Victor did not like her before he went abroad. Then, now that he was back and the situation changed all of a sudden. How can this be possible?

Emily was shocked.

"I never kid." Victor sounded very serious, Emily couldn't believe what was happening. "You liked me before, right? Do you still like me now? It is your chance," he said.

"But that was just politeness and respect for one of my superiors. I don't have any other thoughts for you!" Emily explained briefly.

Victor's face darkened as she was speaking. "And I already like someone. I... I've been with Jacob, so..."

As she spoke, she tried to get out of that man's grip, but he was strong and kept her still easily. He was holding her with one hand around the waist and the other pressed against her arms.

The two got... more and more closer.

"Mr. Victor..." Emily was struggling to get away from him, but still couldn't.

"Don't move." Victor smiled,"It is getting more intimate. Don't you think so?"

Emily stiffened. She looked up at his face. It was not the same Victor she used to know. "Jacob is your friend, and you shouldn't do this, Mr. Victor. Just let me go."

"Yes, he is my friend. But are you his girlfriend?"

"Of course..."

"It doesn't seem you are." Victor showed a strange grin. "So, no one can prevent me to hit on you."

It was like Victor had lost its mind. It was obvious that Jacob was her boyfriend, so why did he still say those things and act like that?

"Emily, I hope that you can seriously consider that I really like you." Emily put her small hand on his forehead.

"No fever..." Emily whispered and took back her hand. Her face was serious and mournful,"Will you being replaced by someone?"

Victor was a little surprised by her word. He get closer to Emily until their foreheads were touching. "What do you think?"

"What are you doing? Victor!" Shouted a male voice coming from behind.

The smile on Victor's face slowly disappeared, and his grip softened. He turned back and saw Jacob standing in the middle of the door.

As Emily got away from Victor's hands, she ran to Jacob. She was visibly trembling. "Jacob, listen..."

But she didn't know what to say. After all, He bumped into the room and the situation could be easily misunderstood. For instance, she thought she would have doubted him if she was in his shoes...

"You go outside." Jacob didn't even look at Emily and forced Victor in front of him.

Emily was afraid that the two would fight, she didn't know what to do. Should she try to stop them?

"Go," said Jacob sharply.

Emily bit her lips to keep her mouth shut. Her gaze moved from Jacob to Victor, and finally she went outside.

"Victor." Jacob called out the name, stressing each one of the letters as if he wanted to chew it a bit before spitting it out. "What were you doing? What did you promise me? Is your word worth nothing? "

Victor didn't look embarrassed at all, but rather calm and decise. "What if I tell you it was all her fault? She was the one who seduced me first."

Jacob's face was getting colder as dangerous light flashed across his eyes. "When did you fell this low, Victor?"

"So you believe her?" Victor was up against the wall. It seemed he nothing could help him in this moment. Then, just after a few seconds, he came up with an idea. "I was... I... I was testing her. I wanted to check whether she is really loyal to you solely."

Jacob sneered,"You must be really worried for me then! "

"Yes, I am."

Jacob stared straight at Victor, and that fires vanished from his eyes. He then warned Victor,"This is the only chance I gave you to be forgiven. No matter why, from now on, you must stay away from her. If you behave, we still could be friend."

Then Jacob left, while Victor remained at his position; in the room there still was a tense atmosphere "Well..."

'Jacob must like this woman more than I imagined', Victor thought, 'For this time, It is better to stop here.'

Meanwhile, Emily was standing outside the door, trying to grasp as much she could listen, but with no great results. When Jacob came out, she ran into him.

Jacob grabbed Emily by both arms and tightened the grip as he asked,"What did you do while I was away? Did you do something you would regret? Speak!"

"I don't... it was Mr. Victor... he ..." It was difficult for her to explain, both because she was still shocked by what had happened and also the Jacob's grip was so hurting that she was almost suffocating.

Jacob had no expression. "What do you want to say? It was him who was bothering you?"

Emily nodded,"Yeah, yes."

"Do you think I'll buy it?"
