Chapter 37 No Time Like The Present


    Sam saw the name "Jacob Gu" on the package, so he picked it up. Sure enough, he saw a letter "E" on


    the mail. He knew who it was from, without a doubt.


    "This is Mr. Jacob''s parcel. Why did you not hand it in?"


    Seeing the seriousness in Sam''s face, the receptionist became cautious. "Mr. Jacob has a lot of


    admirers who send him gifts and packages here every now and then. You are the one who told us to


    deal with them as we saw it."


    Sam remembered that he did say those words in ordance to Jacob''s instructions. He coughed to


    conceal his embarrassment. "In the future, remember to report me first when there are new parcels."


    "Yes, Mr. Sam."


    Sam brought the parcel directly to the president''s office. He presented it to Jacob as if he were


    presenting a treasure,"Mr. Jacob, here is your parcel."


    Jacob didn''t even lift his eyes to look at him. "I said that I don''t want to see those unidentified parcels."


    "But this one might be from Miss Emily."


    "Her?" The pen in Jacob''s hand stopped moving. He raised his eyes to look at Sam,"Let me see."


    Sam handed the parcel to Jacob, keeping in mind not to tell him that it was just picked up from the


    trash. "Mr. Jacob, the thugs who had harassed Miss Emily have been taken to the police station."


    "Then let them spend the rest of their lives in prison."


    "As for Rose, we have not found any relevant evidence at this moment to charge her with."


    "Keep eyes on her."


    "Yes." Sam nodded and walked out of the room.


    As soon as he left, Jacob opened the package carefully. It was a new zer. The zer was


    fashionable and ck in colour, and it was from a low-end brand.


    Generally speaking, Jacob, who was a loyal customer of couture, would never look at this brand, but


    since this was from Emily, it was very special to him.


    Jacob took off his couture and put on the new coat. It fitted his perfect body very well. It was


    comfortable to wear and the high quality of the fabric was visibly evident.


    However, he was still annoyed at Emily for what she had said the other day. The fact that they had not


    spoken in a long time, made him even more unhappy.


    But since Emily had sued for peace first, he was willing to ept it.


    Jacob then attended a meeting wearing the zer Emily had gotten him. Many people at the meeting


    were awed by its sleek and sharp look.


    After the meeting, the top executives all stepped forward to tter him. "What brand is Mr. Jacob''s


    zer? It looks so good."


    Jacob smiled secretly, and said the name of a brand. Everyone kept saying how good he looked in it.


    "All right." Although he knew that it was justpliment, Jacob''s face was glowing with satisfaction.


    Jacob let out a tiny smile, even though it was barely noticeable.


    After he left, the people began to talk about it.


    "What happened to Mr. Jacob?


    Did you notice the change in his character?"


    "Why do I feel so frightened by his smile?"


    "May be we should also try to wear clothes from that brand?"


    "So, do we need to tell Mr. Jacob that he forgot to cut the tag from his zer..."


    Only Sam knew that his Boss was very happy because he had found an excuse to see Miss Emily.


    ……


    In the LApany.


    Emily didn''t think that she would run into Jacob in thepany. After a moment''s hesitation, she


    decided to ignore him, but he walked towards her, nheless.


    "Emily, How dare you! Pretending not to know me?"


    Jacob locked his eyes to hers and wagged the phone in his hand. He continued,"And put me into the


    cklist?"


    Emily heard him but avoided making eye contact with him. She looked to the left and then to the right,


    attempting to escape from Jacob''s gaze.


    Emily was certain that Jacob would cut all ties with her because of what she had said to him. She didn''t


    think he woulde to see her only a few dayster.


    Assuming what Emily was thinking, Jacob raised his eyebrow. "Since you''ve been so sincere, I will


    forgive you."


    In any case, she was the one he had chosen.


    "Sincere?"


    Emily was so confused and all she wanted to do was to disappear into thin air.


    Jacob, however, did not give her the chance to weasel out. He cornered her and said,"Ah! Do you wish


    to deny sending me this zer?" Huh?"


    Soon, Emily noticed that Jacob was wearing the zer she had sent to him. Surprisingly, it fit him


    perfectly well and made him look dapper. "I promised, so I..."


    "You also promised to take me out to dinner? What about that promise?"


    "…… I remember that."


    "No time like the present. Make it today."


    "Eh?"


    Emily could not understand what was going on inside Jacob''s mind. What happened to Jacob?


    Did he really forget about what she said the other day?


    It was very unlikely, as he was very angry that day, but if that was the case, then why was he in such a


    good mood today? Was it because she sent him the zer...


    Before she could rify herself to him, Jacob dragged her off into his car.


    Jacob took Emily to the same restaurant as before. Emily was so worried that she held on to her wallet


    tightly and followed Jacob. When she looked up to see the man in front of her, she noticed the price tag


    hanging from his cor, she burst outughing.


    "What are youughing at?"


    Jacob turned around in confusion. Jacob noticed how her big eyes were as beautiful as the crescent


    moon. Herughter made him smile.


    "Get in first." Emily pointed to the door of the box and hesitated for a moment. "But you can''t be like


    you were before..."

    "What do you mean, ''before''?"


    Jacob asked, deliberately.


    Emily bit her lip and said,"You can''t take advantage of me."


    Jacob wanted to tease her, but he was afraid that it would scare her away. So he just snorted. "I can


    have any kind of woman I want."


    The implication was that it did not have to be Emily.


    Emily looked at him for a few seconds and sat down, skeptically. Then she pointed at the back of


    Jacob. "The tag is still hanging from your zer."


    No wonder there were many people peeking at Jacob, on the way there. They must have been


    amused.


    "Tag?" Jacob finally remembered. When he opened the parcel and took out the zer, he wore it


    straight away. He totally forgot about the tag! So he had the tag with him all day?!


    The key point was that no one had the courage to tell him.


    Emily thenughed again. "My cousin was like you when he was a little child. He always liked new


    clothes. Every time he''d get new clothes, he''d be so excited to show off that he''d changed into it


    immediately without taking off the tag ..."


    ''Was Jacob the same?''


    Immediately, Emily shook off the idea from her mind. How could it be possible? Emily did not notice


    Jacob''s shock for a moment.


    "Help me get rid of it."


    Emily looked around for a knife, but she couldn''t find any. She couldn''t break the thread with her bare


    hands so she bit the tag off.


    Jacob felt that her warm breath was like soft feathers, gently rubbing his neck, itching, tingling and


    tickling his senses.


    This feeling, however, onlysted for a few seconds.


    "All right."


    Emily quickly removed the tag and threw it into the trash bin. When Jacob turned around, Emily''s eyes


    met his deep and dark eyes, like they were calling out to her.
