Chapter 57 The Ability To Burn The Bridge After Crossing It (2/2)

Suddenly, it occurred to Emily that may be he was talking about her reunion with Jack. Wasn't Jacob abroad at the time?

How could he know about that?

And...

”I am sorry, Mr. Jacob. If you are referring to my personal life, then I can't tell you anything. But if it is about work...”

”You can't tell me anything?” Jacob smiled with a look of disgust. ”Your ability to burn the bridge after crossing it is quite remarkable. Have you forgotten about the promise you've made to me?”

Nonplussed, Emily asked,” What did I promise you? Jacob, actually...

I got back with Jack.So in the future, I think it would be better if we maintained a strictly professional relationship, just to avoid problems. Thank you very much for ta

u every day.”

”That may be what you want, but your company does not specialize in the business of jewelry. I don't know what I'd do if I worked there. Also, isn't LA a part of your family business?”

”No, that is Jacob's personal investment.”

Jack knew that the LA Company was just a toy that Jacob had deliberately made for Emily. She only took it seriously, because she did not know about that.

That way, Emily was under the watchful eyes of Jacob every day.

Thinking of that, Jack added,” Also, Jacob is not easy to get along with. He is a cruel and cold-blooded workaholic, who never treats his employees as human beings. I worry about you because you're working for him.”

His tone was very subtle. Emily's heart leapt with suspicion wondering if Jack knew something. She was so nervous that she completely ignored the fact that Jack called Jacob's name directly.

When she was scrambling in her head, trying to come up with an answer, a deep and slightly hoarse voice from somewhere else came and interrupted her thoughts.

”I am not easy to get along with? I am a cruel and cold-blooded workaholic, who never treats his employees as human beings?”

Emily's body stiffened. The first thing came to her mind was that the man heard it when they were talking behind his back...

”Speak of the devil and he doth appear” - the saying was very apt for the moment.

Unlike Emily, Jack nonchalantly turned his face to Jacob and laughed. ”Do you think that I am wrong, uncle?”
