A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 141

Emily was stunned for a moment before she said,"You know what? I was completely baffled by Victor's strange attitude too. I won't hide it from you, but I thought he was being overtly affectionate to me."

It was hard to imagine how a man as cold as Victor would have any desire for her. Turned out Jacob was right to be doubtful of Victor. As for Emily, the most important thing was having her name cleared.

In Jacob's loving arms, Emily was comfortably lost in her thoughts. Suddenly, tearing himself apart from her, Jacob stared at her for a moment and then said,"But, Victor said that it was you who tried to seduce him."

"You've got to be kidding me!" Emily cried out without hesitation. Then she continued,"How could Mr. Victor say something like that?"

"Don't you believe me?" asked Jacob.

"Of course not!"

In an instant, Jacob's facial expression hardened as he scoffed,"Then why should I believe you?

Assuming Jacob was about to blow up in anger, Emily cautiously held his hand and asked,"Did he...really?"

Emily shook her head in disbelief, refusing to believe that Victor would discredit her like that. After all, she was a longtime admirer of Victor's talent and noble character.

"I was reluctant to believe that too," said Jacob. He somehow feigned a smile, as if he had seen right through Emily, and continued,"Victor is not the kind of man who would actively seduce a girl."

Before Jacob said anything else, Emily stared at him with eyes wide open, causing him to abandon his train of thoughts. Moments later, he heard Emily say,"I'll take a guess...may be that man was not Victor. Perhaps it was someone who was impersonating him."

As soon as Emily finished her words, she was awarded with a flick to forehead by Jacob. "Hey!" she glared at him.

"You twerp," Jacob teased Emily.

"But Mr. Victor would not care for me, would he? I feel quite sure about that!" assured Emily.

Jacob agreed with Emily. He also believed that it was impossible for Victor to care for Emily, but he couldn't figure out why Victor would lie to him. "Anyway, stay away from him," insisted Jacob.

"But, we work in the same company..." said Emily, sounding helpless.

"Starting tomorrow, you will work at my family's company again."

"... Okay," Emily answered, as she rubbed her nose and peeked at Jacob's face. Eagerly, she asked,"So, now do you believe me?"

"Sure. Besides, I can always see through a twerp," joked Jacob.

Emily gasped and punched his arm gently.

'I'm glad that you believe in me, but, is it necessary to shatter my confidence by calling me a twerp?' Emily felt wronged.

Soon, they found themselves outside the LA Company. Without wasting time, Jacob shoved Emily into the car and slammed the door.

Coincidentally, Emily suddenly remembered what Victor had said to her. Out of curiosity, she asked,"Jacob, do you think we are in a relationship?"

"We are, aren't we?" Jacob looked back at her with eyes wide open and shot her a look as if to say "unless you want to deny it."

"... I see," Emily nodded with a delicate smile on her face, as her heart filled up with warmth and happiness.

"What are you smirking about? Tell me," asked Jacob, as he gently pressed Emily into the seat and leaned over her, looking to read the expression on her face. "If you dare to let any other man touch even a hair on you, I will shackle you with chains and keep you with me at all times," Jacob whispered.

Finding a trace of jealousy in Jacob's tone, Emily winked and asked,"What if you need to go to the washroom?"

"I'll bring you with me when I go to the washroom," replied Jacob.

"Wow. I'm not going to spend my life like that."

"Are you getting tired of me?" Jacob snorted with displeasure, as he lowered his head and accurately landed his lips on hers.

Finally, Jacob tasted that sweet kiss he had been craving for a long time. He felt like every cell in his body had been ignited with fire, as he kissed her so demandingly. Emily thought that the world was slowly disappearing around her...

...

From that day on, Victor seemingly disappeared from Emily's life, and she gradually let the memories of that day fade away into oblivion.

One day, Emily found out that the Gu Consortium was going to organize a trip for all the employees of the company, to celebrate the successful completion of an important project. Needless to say, Emily was beyond ecstatic to hear the news.

More often than not, Jacob would have no interest in such activities at all. Instead, he preferred to let the employees enjoy themselves. This time, however, when he showed up to the trip, he caught everyone by surprise.

Without having to think about it too much, everyone figured out the reason behind his sudden appearance to the trip—Emily. If not for her, their boss would not partake in such festivities.

Most of the female employees began to feel both envious and jealous.

The destination of the trip was an island called Iceland. Although it had the word "ice" in its name, it was actually a beautiful place with a mild and spring-like climate.

Due to the high number of employees who participated in the trip, the Gu consortium booked nearly all the holiday villas on the island. Furthermore, since Iceland had a large number of villas, every employee got the opportunity to enjoy the comforts of a luxury villa.

"Maybe it's not a good idea for us to share one villa," said Emily, hesitantly, staring at the most luxurious villa on the island in front of her eyes.

Nevertheless, Jacob wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear,"I think it would be a good idea. Besides, everyone knows that we're in a relationship now."

However, Jacob still detected some reluctance in Emily. 'It seems like she always has this feeling, like something bad is going to happen to her if she stays with me.'

So he added,"I have told everyone that you are my girlfriend. Wouldn't it be more awkward if my girlfriend did not share the same villa with me? If you turn me down, I'm afraid that I will be the butt of all jokes." Jacob presented her with a strong argument that she couldn't deny, as his warm breath graced her ear constantly.

Feeling tickled, Emily couldn't help but shrink away to cover her ears with her hands; she said,"You are the president of our company. No one would be stupid enough to make fun of you."

'Doesn't he know that everyone stops talking to each other when they see him coming?' Emily wondered, 'This is my chance to develop a deeper relationship with my colleagues, but he will ruin my plan with his presence here. After all, who would dare to speak with me when he is standing by me all the time?'

"Well. Since I am the president, you should listen to me and share this villa with me," asserted Jacob.

"... "Okay," said Emily after she paused for a second to think. Soon she came to the conclusion that there was no need to keep their relation a secret anymore since everyone already knew about it. However, she had one more request, as she insisted,"I'd like to sleep apart from you."

"As you wish," Jacob promised at once.

'Even after spending so much time with me, this girl is still innocent and lovely. She never seems to learn that when a sheep walks into a wolf's cave, the wolf would have the last say.'

To honor his promise, Jacob asked Emily to take the bedroom on the second floor, and he would occupy the one on the first. For the time being, everything seemed to be going quite well.

Before long, the darkness of night took over the skies, and just as Emily was starting to drift off, she felt something heavy press onto the other half of the bed. The next moment, she felt the warm body of a man pressing against her back.

Terrified, Emily's whole body trembled as she sat up straight immediately. When she got up and turned the lights on, she saw the face of a man she was very familiar with.

"Jacob? What are you doing in my bedroom?" she asked without hesitation.

Jacob stared at her face blankly and replied,"I don't know. I couldn't sleep by myself."

Emily was stunned to the point of speechlessness.

'What a ridiculous and lame excuse!'

"You promised me that we would sleep apart," she said. Emily was wide awake. She thought it would be inappropriate for her to spend the night with Jacob in the same room.

Meanwhile, Jacob's eyes glistened under the dim light of the lamp with great desire. It looked like he was going to eat her up in the next minute.

"I know, but I just could not stop myself." Jacob sighed, pretending to be helpless. Then, all of a sudden, he got up and pressed Emily down to the bed and pecked her on the lips. "I didn't mean that. As you can see, I can't control myself now."

Then he deliberately caressed her body with his intrusive hands.

Emily's cheeks blushed when she felt the change of his private part against her body. She finally managed to force a few words from her mouth,"Jacob, you...you jerk!"
