Chapter 31 Kiss Me (2/2)

This decision was so sudden and final that it frightened Jack.

Jack assume

? Are you two friends?”

”Yes.”

Emily just said ”Oh” and nodded embarrassingly. ”I've misunderstood you...I am sorry...”

”But if you didn't mention him, I wouldn't have remembered this.”

Jacob suddenly changed his tone. ”When you said thanks to Victor, you gave him a coat. What about me?”

Emily was taken aback. She explained instantly, ”That was because Mr. Victor's coat was ruined when he was trying to protect me...”

”I don't want to hear your excuses. I've helped you so many times. Why haven't you noticed that? Emily, you should know better than to favour one benefactor more than another.”

Emily was unable to refute his words. Instead, she felt that Jacob had a very strong point...

Victor, however, was not the same as Jacob. At the very least, he has never taken advantage of her as boldly as Jacob has...

”What do you want?” Emily was starting to feel helpless.

Jacob's eyes were filled with mischief. ”Kiss me.”

Emily licked her lips and said, unequivocally, ”No.”

The two of them couldn't keep on going like that.

Jacob knew her temper. Although, he was somewhat dissatisfied, he did not intend to force her to change her mind. ”Then, I want you to give me a coat as well.”

Why would Victor have one and not him? That's utterly preposterous.

”All right, but you may have to wait until next month when I get my salary.”

Emily did the calculations in her mind. According to Jacob's taste, buying a coat and meal for him was not going to be a small expense.

But she had to pay him back. Jacob had helped her get her life back. Emily appreciated him for that.
