A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1467 Did You Have Him Investigated

"You had him investigated? What's the use? I'm finally spending my time with actual people and not just a bunch of computer files!" Emily snapped. She had learned that Jacob had paid people to follow Jonas and look into his background.

'Why is he so obsessed with Jonas just because the two of us talked for a bit? How unreasonable!' she thought.

She and Jonas had known each other for a while, and they had met up several times. She thought that the man was quite pleasant, but that was it. He wasn't at all like what Jacob was making him out to be.

This time, Emily was convinced that Jacob had gone too far.

Neither of them was willing to concede, so the fight continued.

Jacob and Emily stayed angry at each other until the following day.

Early that morning, as soon as Jonas spotted Emily from a distance, he knew at once that she was unhappy.

He believed he understood what was going on, but he did not say a word.

For Emily, nothing was more important than getting a good night's rest.

With a faint smile on his face, Jonas walked up to her.

"What's wrong? You don't look that good. Didn't you sleep well last night?" he asked with concern evident on his face. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Without warning, he proceeded to hypnotize Emily. Now, she was going to get some well-deserved rest.

Before Emily could respond to the question, her eyelids grew heavy. Her knees and elbows immediately buckled, and she lost consciousness.

Jonas smiled as he looked at Emily, who was now fast asleep. His eyes were full of silent affection.

It was past noon when Emily came to.

She looked at the clock on the wall and was surprised at what she saw. How had she fallen asleep just like that? Although now that she thought about it, it made sense. She hadn't really slept that well the previous night, so she was bound to doze off today. Upon realizing this, she thought no more of it, but she still felt guilty about falling asleep at work.

"Oh, no! It's noon and I haven't done any work!" Emily screamed in a panic.

Jonas, who was seated not far away, witnessed everything. Amused, he smiled, stood up, and walked toward Emily.

"Don't worry. I've completed many of today's tasks for you. All that's left are some documents that need your signature." Jonas gently placed everything that he had accomplished in front of Emily. He then presented her with a separate pile of documents, those that required her signature.

Emily was deeply moved by this gesture. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

It was her fault. She had fallen asleep during office hours, and if it weren't for Jonas's initiative, she would have needed to work overtime today.

"Oh, Jonas, how can I ever thank you? Without your thoughtfulness, I really don't know how late I would have had to stay at the office today." Emily gestured to the documents that sat completed in front of her.

The man in front of her was, in fact, an excellent psychologist. One could claim that Jonas Lin could read minds, and they wouldn't be wrong.

Just today, even without Emily's knowledge, he had taken the initiative to help her out with all the work that she had had to do.

Although she had no idea why he was going out of his way to help her, she felt grateful for what he had done.

"You're welcome." A gentle smiled formed on Jonas' face.

This was a piece of cake for him. As a psychologist, he could easily tell what was going through people's minds. He could also send them to sleep. It was his job.

"I'm curious, though. Why do you always go out of your way to help me?" Emily asked.

She had thought about possible answers, but she had no evidence to support those. In the end, she had gotten tired of guessing, and she had to ask him.

People weren't normally this selfless.

"Don't think about it. I guess you remind me of a friend who has passed away, someone whom I'll never see again. I guess I just felt like doing this because I want us to be good friends." Jonas appeared to have grown sadder all of a sudden, and his voice cracked as he spoke.

Emily felt sorry for him. She hadn't meant to bring up his sad past. "I'm sorry I brought it up. I'll be honored to be your friend."

Emily could not bear to look at Jonas' sad face for a second longer. Here in front of her was a man who clearly valued friendship.

She pitied the poor, kind-hearted man. The least she could do for him now was be his friend.

Unknown to both of them, they were being watched right then and there.

Meanwhile, in his office, Jacob stood in front of his French windows with a cold expression on his face.

His lips were pressed tightly into a thin line, and he did not speak. He stood there with his hands behind his back, motionless.

He hadn't expected for him and Emily to fight over a stranger.

He was certain that this Jonas Lin was not a quiet, innocent man. As soon as Jonas and Emily met each other, Jacob's relationship with his wife had changed.

If this went on, who knew what would become of their marriage?

At that time, a knock on the door broke the silence, interrupting Jacob's thoughts.

He turned around and looked at the person who had just entered. Casually, he turned his chair around and sat in it.

"Mr. Gu, you asked me to keep a close eye on Mrs. Gu. I found that after arriving in her office, she just slept for most of the day. A man named Jonas did her work for her. The two of them talked and laughed," the man explained as he stood at a respectful distance from Jacob's desk. He lowered his head as he reported everything that he had seen that day.

This was the man whom Jacob had sent to guard Emily. He was also completely aware that his job entailed discreet surveillance.

However, he did not know what kind of person Jonas was. Even though he wasn't completely certain, he decided to relay to Jacob everything that he had witnessed.

After all, Jacob was paying him. He had to report everything to his boss.

After listening to what the man had to say, Jacob's face darkened. His whole body suddenly exuded cold, angry energy, which had been proven to make people tremble with fear.

'While we're fighting, they're out there talking and laughing.

It seems that the two of them have grown really familiar with each other, ' Jacob thought.

"What did they talk about?" he asked the man. Jacob's fists were clenched so tightly that blue veins began to bulge all over his hands.

"Mr. Gu, I did not get too close to them. I didn't hear their conversation clearly," the man explained, stammering when he noticed that Jacob was now fuming.

"You can leave now," Jacob said, trying his best to stay calm.
