Chapter 139 So Closely Watched Over (1/2)

”Is that true?” asked Jacob.

Emily couldn't tell for sure what was on Jacob mind. ”Yes, it's true. You can ask Mr. Victor if you don't believe me,” she said.

”I believe you,” said Jacob.

Emily was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when she heard the man say,”But you had dinner with another man without telling me. I am not happy about that.”

”I didn't have dinner with him behind your back. Besides it was only Mr. Victor,” said Emily.

”What about him? Is he not a man?” Although Victor assured Jacob that he wasn't interested in Emily, Jacob still felt uncomfortable trusting Victor around Emily.

For a brief moment, Emily felt like Jacob was acting like an immature girlfriend from a typical love story... It was only a dinner. Besides, Victor was just her mentor.

”Okay, it's all my fault...” Emily submitted. Feeling helpless, Emily saw no point in arguing with Jacob. Instead she decided to appease the man, and said,”You aren't making a fuss out of nothing, okay?”

Satisfied with her response, Jacob said,”I'm sending Sam to pick you up now.”

”...” She didn't even get to the main course yet.

”Aren't you forgetting something?” Jacob asked eagerly.

Confused, Emily wondered what Jacob mean. She asked,”What else?”
