Chapter 44 Dont You Want Me Anymore (1/2)

Emily took one short glance at the flowers and assumed they were from Jack. She looked completely uninterested, as she coldly replied, ”Throw them away.”

Emily's colleague seemed to have been taken aback by her response. She hesitated and asked, ”Miss Bai, are you sure you don't want them?

After all, they are a symbol of one's love for you.”

”If you want them, you can have them.”

Immediately, her colleague stopped talking and walked out of the room with the flowers.

Just a few minutes after she walked out, Emily's cellphone rang. She answered it without a second thought, and heard the deep voice of a man on the other side of the call.

”Emily, how dare you! You let people throw away the flowers I'd sent you?”

The man's tone was very solemn, as if he were discussing matters of great importance with her, making Emily feel a little nervous. All of a sudden, Emily felt like she had done something far terrible than just throwing away a bunch of ordinary roses.

”What?

I didn't know they were from you...”

Emily wondered how the news had traveled so fast?

”Then who did you think it was from?

Jack?” Jacob's voice softened when he realized the reason behind her confusion. ”Go and pick them up, and don't throw them away.”

”All right...” Without a conscious thought, Emily obeyed his orders. She walked out of the office with her cellphone and saw the bouquet of roses at the foot of the stairs. Having the flowers thrown in the garbage bin did not do justice to its beauty.

Fortunately, the garbage bin was clean and empty. Emily found the roses to be just as gorgeous as they were before.

Emily picked up the flowers, habitually patted them twice and said, ”I have picked them up.”

”Good girl.”

Emily, ”......”

After all, she couldn't disobey her boss's orders. She found an empty vase and filled it with water, then she put the roses in one by one. After she put them aside, she sighed a breath of relief.

What exactly did Jacob mean?
