    Under Emily''s steadfast leadership, Love and Dream finished the production of their brand new series


    of products just a few days before the day it was set to be released.


    These new products were nothing like anyone had seen before. To add to that, they were priced at


    reasonable prices, making theirpetitive value extremely high. As a result, people on the inte


    couldn''t stop talking about the products. Everybody in the design world anxiously waited for the


    release. In just a span of three days, all of the brand new products werepletely sold out from every


    store shelf and online shop.


    Love and Dream had just been established a few months ago and already garnered such a prestigious


    reputation. This made everyone in the design industry appreciate Emily''s sess.


    “Jonas, what are you doing here?“


    Emily asked when she noticed an unexpected visitor at her door.


    With a faint smile, Jonas ced his hand on the frame of the office door and replied, “Emily, I heard


    that your productunch for this season was a big hit. I thought it was a good idea toe here and


    congratte you personally.“


    Emily wanted to close the door, but Jonas was standing in the way. This handsome man''s arrival


    started to pique the curiosity of the employees outside. They couldn''t help but look inside and see what


    was going on.


    Emily didn''t know what to do at that point and just responded, “Well then, thank you.“


    The look on Jonas''s face showed his dissatisfaction with her response. He then said, “Shouldn''t you be


    inviting a supportive friend toe inside?“


    At that point, Emily feltpletely helpless. Long ago, she had already made a decision to stay away


    from him. Not a single cell in her body wanted him toe near her.


    Unfortunately, letting Jonas just stand outside would definitely spark some unnecessary rumors.


    Moreover, Emily felt a little guilty about ignoring a friend who hade from far away just to


    congratte her. Her kind nature couldn''t let him leave without inviting him inside for at least a ss of


    water.


    “All right,e in.“ Emily stepped aside to make room for Jonas.


    As soon as Jonas walked past by Emily, a mischievous smile appeared on his face.


    He knew that Emily would agree to his request as soon as he mentioned the word “friend.“


    When Emily returned to her seat, the look on Jonas''s face returned to normal. He was standing with his


    back turned against the door, which blocked the view of the people outside.


    “Emily, you look so drained. Did you stay up all night just to finish the designs?“ Jonas asked while


    approaching Emily''s desk. He then looked straight into her eyes and waited for her response.


    Emily didn''t know how to respond and simply said, “Uh.“ What he had said about staying up all night


    was true, but she didn''t think she looked that horrible.


    His words made her distraught and before she knew it, Jonas was already standing behind her. “How


    about I give you a rxing massage to help with your stress? I just took some lessonsst week.“


    Emily waspletely ufortable about the situation she was in. Before she could say no to him,


    she saw a glimpse of the bracelet that Jonas was wearing. In her mind, she felt like she had seen it


    before.


    Recollecting her past memories made her realize something important. This thought frightened her to


    her core.


    A series of horrifying images shed through her mind in mere seconds. A single bracelet was the only


    thing she needed to remind her of the time that Jonas had hypnotized both Taylor and her!


    It was a horrifying day where, in the end, they had been left without the slightest bit of recollection of


    what had happened to the two of them.


    With this huge revtion, Emily''s whole body started to tremble in fear. From the very start, Jacob''s


    suspicions had been true. That was, Jonas was a wicked man who was not to be trusted.


    Emily knew she needed to get away from this man as soon as she could. With her quick thinking, she


    uttered an excuse. “Wait a minute. I''ll get you a ss of water.“ She stood up from her chair and started


    to casually walk outside. She didn''t want Jonas to realize that she had an idea about what he was


    doing.


    Her actions were aplete surprise to Jonas. Since his n was an inch away from failure, he


    quickly thought of a way to make her stay.


    He pointed at the water dispenser in the corner of her office and then asked her to stop.


    “Emily, I''ll just drink some hot water from that. You don''t have to go outside just for me.“


    This caused Emily to stop dead in her tracks and think of something to reply, in order not to cause


    suspicion. “Don''t worry. I''m not that tired. Which would you prefer? Coffee or tea?“


    Every cell in her body was telling her to get out of that room at that very second.


    She ced her hand on the doorknob. But when she tried to open it, she realized that Jonas had


    locked it.


    To add to her problems, Jonas walked right up to her and grabbed her arm. “I told you I''m not thirsty


    and I don''t need anything. Just sit down and let me give you a massage.“


    At that very moment, Emily knew she was in deep trouble. Jonas was a man, and without a doubt, he


    was physically stronger than her. Since her arm was already in his grasp, Emily did not dare to be so


    obvious in being so against what he was doing. So, she didn''t have any other choice but to go to the


    water dispenser and pour a ss of water for him.


    As a final plea for help, Emily deliberately turned her back to Jonas while pouring him some water. At


    the same time, she took out her phone and sent a message to Jacob.


    The message was simple, containing only one sentence: “Jonas is in my office. Help me!“


    As soon as Jonas took a sip of water, he felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart. He knew he had


    to hurry up and start with his n.


    “Emily, you—“


    Before he could finish what he was saying, Emily interrupted him. “Jonas, we haven''t seen each other


    for such a long time. How have you been?“


    There was still no response from Jacob. Emily knew she had to buy herself some time. It was very


    likely that her husband was still in a meeting and she had to do everything she could to get out of this


    situation safely.


    Jonas was a bit startled by her question. He hadn''t expected that Emily would take the initiative to ask


    about him. To avoid scaring her away, he had to answer in the most normal way he could.


    “Not bad. How about you?“


    Instead of just offering him some water, Emily began to talk with Jonas about everything she could


    think of. They talked about thepany''s affairs, how challenging her work was, her personal


    rtionships, and even a few celebrity stories.


    Jonas had never seen Emily talk so much before. He was stunned for a moment, but soon, he sensed


    that something was wrong.


    ''Why is Emily being like this all of a sudden?


    Does she already know why I''m here?''


    The expression on Jonas''s face darkened when he realized that his cover might be blown. There was


    no time to waste anymore, so he stood up and spoke bluntly. “Let''s stop talking for now since I have


    other matters to attend toter. Just sit down, Emily, so I can finally give you your massage.“


    Even though Emily seemed like her usual self, her heart was ready to burst from fear. She desperately


    looked at the clock and wondered why Jacob hadn''te yet.


    Jonas was getting more forceful with every second that passed. He walked behind her and pressed her


    down on the chair.


    At that moment, Jonas didn''t care how his actions woulde across. He grabbed onto her shoulders


    and struggled to keep her in ce. Emily screamed when she started to feel pain. “Jonas, I don''t want


    a massage! Stop what you''re doing!“


    “I''m sorry, it''s not up to you to decide anymore,“ Jonas replied with a malicious look on his face.


    Jonas was just a few steps away frompletely hypnotizing Emily. It seemed like he was going to


    seed. But just in the nick of time, the door burst wide open.


    “Stop!“


    Jacob shouted while standing at the door. More than a dozen men dressed in ck stood behind him.


    In a blink of an eye, Jacob rushed inside and kicked Jonas right in the stomach, which sent him flying


    to the ground.


    Jacob''s men stormed inside and held Jonas in ce.


    Right after, Jacob approached Emily and helped her stand. With eyes filled with concern, he asked “Are


    you hurt anywhere? I''m so sorry that I took so long.“


    The fear Emily had felt earlier made her face turn ghostly pale. But in order to appease Jacob, she


    nodded along in agreement.


    “I''m fine. You came just in time.“

    Not being able to move a single inch, Jonas knew something bad was going to happen to him. He''d


    been exposed and had to think of a way to get out of this situation.


    “Emily, how can you just watch while Jacob is harassing me like this? I didn''t do anything wrong. Why


    did he kick me and why is he ordering his men to restrain me?“


    Jonas didn''t struggle at all, so that he coulde across as someone who was innocent and didn''t


    know what was going on. Unfortunately for him, Jacob and his men didn''t buy it. Jacob''s men


    proceeded to take turns punching and kicking him. He was beaten so badly that his skin turned ck


    and blue.


    Upon seeing Jonas in such a badly bruised state, Emily feel a little sympathetic. But when she


    remembered that this man hade to her with the intention of hypnotizing her again, her kind nature


    quickly disappeared.


    With a frighteningly frigid voice, Emily uttered, “Stop acting stupid, Jonas. You can''t fool us anymore. I


    knew everything from the start.“


    Realizing that she was dead serious, Jonas gave up his act of trying to be innocent. Instead, he pushed


    the bodyguards aside with all his might, trying his best to escape.
