Chapter 9 The Hidden Paramour (2/2)
”Why did this judge come to me? Shouldn't you be asking your lover that question? ” Emily said with a dash of sarcasm, ”Rose, this didn't go according to your plans. You must be very disappointed, right?”
Rose's smile turned upside down. She bit her lip firmly and with a soothing voice she said, ”Emily, how could you say that? What good would that do to me...”
”Wow, you're good at acting! You should have won an Oscar for your performance!”
”Emily, don't try to spin things around. You know what you did!” Jack was getting impatient and trying his best to suppress his anger. He only wanted to see if there was somebody else in the room!
He pushed Emily aside and walked inside. Emily was flustered. Not knowing what to do, she stepped on Jack's foot and pushed him hard!
Jack staggered backwards by a few steps. He erupted with great fury and roared, ”Emily, are you hiding your paramour inside?”
”What's wrong with you?!” Emily was also enraged by him; she resisted, ”What makes you think you can just enter my room?” Who do you think you are? Both of you, get out! Otherwise I will call the police!”
The more Emily behaved like this, the more she aroused Jack's suspicion, ”You want me to get out?” Today I must go inside!”
Rose was just keen to see where this was going. If Jack were to find a man in Emily's room, she would meet a fate far worse than death!
Emily tried her best to stall him, but she could only carry on for so long before Jack's strength would overcome hers.
”Bang” the door was pushed open with force. There was no one inside.
”Are you satisfied now?” Emily looked at Jack with disgust, as she said to him coldly, ”Jack, you are like a jealous woman now.”
”Don't think too highly of yourself, Emily!” Jack felt insulted by Emily's remarks, but he retorted, ”I, Jack, will never love a filthy woman!”
Emily thought that the worst was over and her mind had settled down, as still as water. However, hearing what Jack said, made her blood boil up from the inside. She smiled sarcastically, ”Filthy?” I don't think anyone can ever be as filthy as you!” And don't forget that I was the one who dumped you!”
Jack was silenced. He clenched his teeth in frustration and said, while slowly stressing each syllable, ”Emily, someday you will beg me to take you back!”
How familiar those words were. No wonder they were from the same family. They used the same methods to threaten people.
”I hope I never see the both of you again! Also, Rose, remember that, one man's trash is another man's treasure. Do you think this is funny?”
'Funny? Of course it is funny! Your misery will always be the source of my happiness!'
Rose thought to herself. But, she still stayed in character, delicate and warm. Such a drama queen.
Jack realized he was getting distracted by the ladies; he remembered what his purpose was and continued searching the room.
Emily was past being annoyed. Jack was becoming a nuisance; he wasn't going to stop until he had found Emily's hidden paramour. The thought of Jack confronting Jacob was unbearable to Emily.
Emily had no idea what to do with Jack anymore. She was at the end of her rope, when suddenly they heard a voice come in from outside, ”Mr. Jack!”
Everyone's attention had shifted. They turned their heads to the door, and saw Jacob's special assistant, Sam.
”Mr. Jack, Mr. Jacob would like to have a word with you.”
