Chapter 318 What a Hypocrite (1/2)

”I just noticed that Mr. Jack and Mr. Jacob didn't fight at our meeting this afternoon! He even smiled at him! First time in history that happened! It almost scared me! I think Mr. Jack's planning something and it's going to blow up in Mr. Gu's face big time.”

”I think he's in love, though. I heard he's trying to win over the manager at Lu Jewelry. He's been all over the news recently.”

All the employees were gossiping over the sudden change in Jack's behavior.

Even Jacob noticed the change in Jack that he called Sam to his office. ”Jack seems to be acting strange recently. What does he have planned?” he asked.

This time she couldn't refuse him with some silly excuse such as trying to lose weight.

Jack patiently waited in the cafe, occasionally glancing at his wrist to check the time because knowing Emily, she always arrived earlier than the set time.

Emily arrived on time. When Jack saw her, he smiled and pulled a chair for her. ”What would you like to drink? A cup of cappuccino?” he asked.

Cappuccino was Emily's favorite coffee from before.

Emily sat down gracefully, a distant smile pasted on her face, as she replied, ”Just an Americano, please, thank you.”

Jack's eyes dimmed slightly. He sat opposite her quiet for a while seemingly had forgotten what their meeting was about until Emily reminded
