Chapter 20 No Time To Play With You (2/2)
It's not like Jack had planned to meet her there; he never imagined that Emily would be reduced to selling wine in such a place. Wasn't she aware of the dangers for a pretty girl like herself to work in such chaotic places?
”Yes. So what?” To avoid being humiliated by Jack, Emily was just about to wheel the cart out.
Her attitude made Jack's blood boil, who said angrily,” If you dare step out of that door, I'll make sure that you won't be able to sell a bottle of wine today or ever!”
Emily stopped in her path immediately, she took a deep breath before turning back with a fake smile,” How many bottles of wine do you want, Mr. Gu?”
”Come here, I'm trying to decide.” With an air of self-importance, Jack sat in the middle of the leather sofa; his friends sitting on either side of him harassed Emily by whistling at her.
”Hey, Jack, you've got your eye on this chick?”
”Never thought Jack had such interests. Is she still minor? She looks so small.”
”Oh, come on! How could a minor look so mature? With all these sexy curves? You really have a lot of good fortune with love affairs Jack!”
”...”
Jack frowned, with a hint of inexplicable displeasure in his face, at them for talking about Emily like that. However, he said nothing, and allowed them to continue ridiculing her.
He used to take Emily to visit Jacob and his grandpa before their break-up, but he had never introduced her to those friends because he had wanted to marry Emily, and he was unwilling to let her to be influenced by them. Therefore, they had no idea of the relationship between Jack and the girl in front of them, whom they regarded as merely a lowly barmaid.
But, it didn't bother Jack, as she was no longer his girl to protect! He gave her a chance to put the past behind and return to him, but she refused!
Emily reluctantly wheeled the cart towards Jack, without giving any attention to those guys. One of Jack's friends sitting beside him, asked his female companions to give up their seats to her when they saw Emily approaching.
”Mr. Gu, have you made up your mind, please? I'm too busy to play with you.”
Jack looked at her coldly,” Open one.”
Open one? Did he mean to buy one?
Emily intentionally chose the most expensive wine from the cart when Jack didn't mention which one he wanted. 'That scumbag deserves it!' she thought to herself.
She took great care to prepare and open the expensive bottle of wine for Jack. Just as she walked to him with the bottle, before she could realize whether Jack had stretched his leg intentionally or unintentionally, she tripped on Jack's foot.
Emily lost her balance and fell down immediately, causing the expensive bottle of wine to fly out of her arms!
She was absolutely certain! It was definitely intentional!
At the thought of the heavy price tag on the bottle, Emily jumped desperately with all her strength, in a speed even beyond her expectations. Surprisingly, she caught the bottle.
Thank God, the wine was still in good condition, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to compensate for a loss of such magnitude!
Emily didn't dare to wipe off the sweat from her head, as she held on to the bottle firmly, when she suddenly realized she had thrown herself onto Jack.
Jack pulled her towards himself and then sat Emily on his lap, in an intimate gesture, full of ambiguity.
”Since you're here to sell wine, you need to follow the selling rules. Now drink with me. I'll buy your wine if I'm satisfied, okay?”
Jack slowly placed his hands around her waist. The lust in his eyes and tone were obvious for every one in the room to notice.
Emily's face turned red in an instant. She stood up immediately, and slapped him hard across the face while holding the bottle tightly with the other hand.
Everyone in the room was shocked and rendered speechless for a moment. It was hard to imagine that this woman could be so courageous!
