Chapter 111 Stop There (2/2)

Several minutes later, Emily opened the door and walked out wearing the new set of clothes. She was barefoot

hem softly, making the aching disappear.

The atmosphere was suddenly cozy and peaceful, and neither of them talked about what had happened in the morning.

Suddenly, they heard knocking at the door. Someone was right outside.

Emily sprang to her feet like a frightened rabbit, stepped away from Jacob's arms and stood there with her head lowered.

Jacob glanced at Emily before answering,”Come in.”

His secretary, Leo, walked in and said,”Mr. Jacob, the meeting will start in a few minutes. I have already prepared everything.”

Jacob nodded and tapped his fingers against the table. ”Come with me to the meeting.”

Not realizing that Jacob was talking to her, Emily stayed silent.

Leo stole a glance at Emily and thought, 'I never imagined that Mr. Jacob would bring a lady into his office. How incredible!'

When the realization hit her, Emily opened her mouth to reply, but Jacob quickly added,”She will be my assistant and help me with the meeting.”

”I see,” Leo answered absent-mindedly.

In his mind, he thought, 'She's not so much your assistant as she is your woman.'

'Me?

When did I become his assistant?' Emily thought.

”Can't I just stay here?” she asked timidly. 'I don't know anything about being an assistant. What if I screw everything up?' she thought.

”No, you can't,” Jacob answered firmly. ”This is the first step you have to take to leave your comfort zone, so you have to come with me, no arguing.”
