Chapter 151 What Do You Want Me To Do (2/2)
And thanks to Jack, even Mr. Gu himself was unaware of it all.
The day he returned to office, Jack was first called into the CEO's office by Jacob, even before he had a chance to see Emily.
”I know you saved her. It is because of you that she is alive.” Jacob did not want to beat around the bush nor had the time for any nonsensical chit-chat. Coming straight to the point, he said ”So tell me, what is it that you want
ce at all. I don't remember there being a subway around your home at all.”
She would never believe this to be a coincidence at all.
Jack's smile widened as he said happily,”Well, I have not had the chance to tell you that I have already moved into a new house, very close to yours.”
That is how Jack knew that she was travelling by the subway and not with Jacob that morning.

He didn't want Emily's reputation to be damaged again.
The girl was frightened and her cellphone fell onto the floor of the metro. Hearing the commotion, Emily who was standing with her back facing the girl suddenly turned to look what was going on.
Jack instantly wore a polite smile and picked up the girl's phone off the ground. He looked at her kindly and said,”Miss, here's your phone.”
