Chapter 765 The Gossip Between Ray and Emily (2/2)

”Nothing!” she answered with a wink. Turning back in her seat, she happened to see the image of the magazine cover lying on her desk.

It was Jacob. Somehow, he seemed to stare at her no matter where she went. The image made Emily feel quite delighted. With that, she decided to tell Jacob the truth as soon as possible.

”Jacob, nothing happened between me and Ray. Someone pushed me that day so I fell down. That was really all that happened. The picture doesn't tell the whole story. Someone knew this would easily

was a complete disaster. It was no mystery why Jacob was visiting.

Ray's agent, Brook, was informed by Mr. Chen's secretary before Jacob's arrival so he could prepare to face the man.

”How are you, Mr. Gu? It's been a long time since we met.” Adjusting his glasses uneasily, he forced a smile for the guest.

With an ice-cold look and stern voice, Jacob bluntly asked, ”Where is Ray?” without so much as a greeting.

Knowing that Jacob only really cared about Emily, Brook understood that Jacob's visit didn't come with friendly intentions. After a pause, he responded, ”Well, Ray was out for a promotional film. I'm afraid you're a little unlucky with the timing. If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to let me know. I will relay your message later.”

”He was out? Really?” Jacob sneered. Frowning, he fixed his gaze on Brook as if it would help him see through his tricks.

Having worked for many years in the entertainment circle, Brook had turned out to be quite a sophisticated man. Knowing that Jacob was a difficult person to deal with, Brook contemplated on how to respond. ”Brook, I think you're well aware of the severe consequences of lying to me.”

In all the world, Emily was perhaps the only one who dared to lie to Jacob without facing the consequences. Hearing Jacob's suspicion, Brook felt anxiousness creep in. Eager to explain, he said, ”Mr. Gu, you wronged me. You're the leading investor of our studio. How could I dare cheat you? I swear I'm telling the truth. Ray's out working for a promotional film,” Brook's voice quivered.

Seeing that Jacob didn't intend on inquiring any further, Brook sighed in relief, wiping off the sweat on his forehead. Luckily, he was wise enough to arrange for Ray to head out for the promotional film as soon as the news broke out.

”Well, I have enough time to wait for him,” Jacob easily sneered.

With a glance at Brook, he stepped back into the office.
