Chapter 772 Tyron Looks Familiar (1/2)

The bright, white light of the fluorescent lamp bounced off the cream walls of the hospital room. Jacob's hands pulled the quilt, but suddenly stopped. ”What a bug mouth he has!” he complained.

He secretly decided to deduct Sam's salary, then appeared calm again in front of Emily. ”It's not what you thought,” he assured her.

Company work wasn't really a frequent topic of their conversations, but Jacob would tell Emily if she asked. However, he didn't want to say anything about it now--which implied that he was hiding something.

”It turned out like how I guessed, Jacob.” Emily's small hands held Jacob's larger ones as she answered him. Her eyes blinked as she looked at him, and waited for his answer.

”If you are busy, I will ask Beryl or Rita to keep me company, then you can...”

Her words were suddenly cut off when Jacob kissed her moving lips, and suddenly drowned anything else she had to say in the kiss.
