Chapter 7 Ridiculous (2/2)
”Mr. Gu, it would be, une
quivocally, against my will. I hope you won't force me to change my mind.”
Jacob firmly locked eyes on hers; his black eyes, as deep as the sea. It was hard for Emily to tell whether he was angry or not.
Jacob could easily sleep with any woman of his liking, as if he were just blowing off dust from his palms; as long as he wanted to do so. However, he had never been turned down by a woman like that, let alone so bluntly and blatantly.
Emily was the first ever.
Looking at her unapologetic face, Jacob suddenly sneered, ”So, you're playing hard to get now? I am really looking forward to the day you come to me, begging.”
This little girl wanted to escape right after provoking him; nothing in life was ever that easy.
Emily sensed the ambiguity in his voice, in the pit of her stomach. She gritted her teeth before she replied, ”Mr. Gu, I assure you, such a day will never come.”
”Well, we'll see.” Forcing Emily was going to be a piece of cake of him, but he did not wish to push her too hard.
He wanted her to be his woman, but only at her own will.
Emily eventually opened the car door and hurried out, like a rabbit that had just escaped from its cage. The only thing Jacob could see was her back, dashing to the roadside.
Jacob looked at Emily calmly, as she hailed a taxi. At that moment, Jacob slowly emerged with a look of confidence and thought to himself, 'She will never escape me.'
As soon as Emily got home, she turned on all the lights in her apartment. A brightly lit room gave her a false sense of security. Even when she was resting, she slept with her night light on.
What Jacob had said to her earlier, filled her mind like fog on a winter morning. The chaotic state of her mind was even worse than the day she had found out that Jack was cheating on her.
Jacob wanted her to be his woman... What a ridiculous notion!
How could she say yes to him? Actually, she was more worried about the fact that she had provoked Jacob, a person of his status could easily make life hard for her without even trying too hard. No wonder he sounded so sure when he challenged her that she would be the one to beg for his mercy one day.
'Forget about it, just play it by ear.'
When Emily went to work the next day, she did not mention Jacob's visit last night. She assumed all the responsibility and paid for the broken door.
Rose, however, was not one to be fooled so easily.
The door was very hard and sturdy. How could Emily even break the door with her fragile arms and legs? She looked too delicate to stand a gust of wind. What's more, according to the damage reports, someone had kicked down the door from the outside.
Who was that person? It must have been Emily's secret lover. It was a pity that she hadn't thought about it last night. Since it was a power failure, the cameras weren't working and so she couldn't find any evidence of Emily's secret lover.
A few days later, The Hogan Company, was met with some big news.
The Fine Jewelry Association was to host an International Jewelry Design Competition, in D City. All jewelry designers are eligible to sign up for this competition. Some extra value was added to this important competition, as Mr. Hua promised that the winner of the championship would be hired as the Chief Jewelry Designer of the company, effective immediately.
Emily and Rose both signed up for the event. They competed against each other secretly. After the first round and semi-finals, they finally reached the Finals.
Meanwhile, Jack was still trying to find Emily's secret lover, but in vain, He was trying his best not to have any confrontations with Emily, as he feared that he would fail to suppress his anger and choke her to death on the spot. Because of her betrayal, now he hated her just as much as he had loved her before.
