Chapter 15 Congratulations (2/2)
She finally did it. She won the first prize!
In high spirits, Emily's eyes sparked with confidence. She stood on the stage, emanating a glowing aura from her body.
The man sitting in his seat for distinguished guests, looked at Emily from a distance, took out his cellphone and snapped a picture of Emily. The corners of his thin lips slowly turned upwards.
Jack and Rose had left the venue early, and Anderson was nowhere to be found.
”Rose, you really are a waste of space! You've screwed up everything I've asked you to do!” Jack was burning with anger. The thought of Emily's smile on stage and the trophy in her hands, pierced him in the heart like a thorn.
His anger at Emily was spreading like wildfire. Why did Emily always get the last laugh?!
”Jack, I did not expect..., ” Rose held onto Jack's arm; her eyes were full of tears as she said, ”I did as you've told me, and now you have to help me, or else my future will be totally ruined...”
”Yes, yes, I will. Now be quiet.”
Jack was growing impatient of Rose's constant nagging. He did not care about Rose's future at all. All he ever wanted to do was to give Emily a hard time!
...
The competition was over, Emily walked out of the venue alone and decided to take a taxi by the roadside, when suddenly a black Maybach slowly stopped in front of her.
Emily recognized whose car it was at first glance. She turned around and took to her heels.
Unfortunately, the person sitting in the car was faster than her. He opened the door, stretched his leg out of the car and pulled Emily into the car without any effort. The next moment, Emily found herself pinned to the car seat, her hands held by Jacob.
”Emily, did you just try to run away from me?” Jacob leaned close to Emily's face, almost touching her nose. Emily couldn't tell whether he was pleased or angry from his deep voice.
At the thought of what had happened yesterday, Emily struggled to get out and cried, ”Let me go...”
Why was it always Jacob? She was always running into him everywhere; even now when she chose to take the alternate route to leave the venue!
”Do you want to attract the reporters around? Well?”
Jacob did not care about attracting some reporters, but Emily did. She stopped shouting and struggling at once.
”What do you want to do with me? Will you please just let me go? Mr. Jacob? Hello?” Emily was afraid of Jacob; she was mainly worried that he would do something unusual and unexpected to her. He was undoubtedly a dangerous man!
”Are you feeling happy today?” Jacob ignored Emily's questions, and asked an irrelevant question.
Emily had no choice but to nod in honesty, ”Yes. I am very happy today.”
'I would be happier if I did not come across you, jerk, ' she thought.
”I guess you think that I am a jerk? Right?”
”No I don't, Mr. Jacob...” Emily tried to make up a lie when suddenly she noticed his hands lifting up her clothes. She felt the cold on her waist and was stunned, ”What...What are you doing in broad daylight ?”
Emily's panic-stricken voice seemed to please Jacob even more. He chuckled and touched the red birthmark on her waist and rubbed it tenderly.
'How could she boldly lift her clothes in front of the public to reveal such a private part of her body? Does not she have any sense of shame?' Jacob thought. But he only said to her, ”From now on, do not let anyone see it.”
