Chapter 1036 Emily’s Efforts Came To Naught (2/2)

tly while he folded his arms across his chest. There was a malicious and cynical smile on his handsome face. Without looking at Emily, he was intoxicated with his own happiness, as if he was recalling the wonderful days he had spent with Michelle.

It was obvious that Jacob was asking Emily to leave.

'Darling Michelle...

When did they become so close?'

Emily wondered. Looking at the happy smile on Jacob's face, she felt suffocated and lonely, and there was a sadness in her knitted brows. Her thin shoulders trembled as if she were a poor child.

Emily quietly looked at Jacob for several minutes, and she looked away from him only when she could not hold back her tears.

She had just seen her own reflection in Jacob's eyes.

She didn't want to see herself so embarrassed and pitiful.

His eyes were now filled with indifference, scorn, arrogance, and coldness, without the usual gentleness and affection.

Besides, he had called her ”Miss Bai.”

What an irony...

”Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. I was too abrupt today, but I hope you can think seriously about the photo,”

Emily said in a feeble voice. She blinked multiple times, trying to will the tears away. She hid her self-pity, but there was still a clear touch of sadness in her eyes.

”Well, Miss Bai. You can leave now,”

Jacob drawled lazily with a casual nod, as if Emily was a very unwelcome guest.

At this moment, he suddenly took the photo from her hands.

Thinking that Jacob would follow her advice, Emily instantly felt relaxed. However, she didn't expect that Jacob would tear the photo with his slender fingers. In the empty, quiet conference room, the tearing sound seemed particularly harsh.

In a flash, the photo was torn to pieces.
