The Spoiled Girl

Slightly flustered, Emily asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jacob replied calmly, "There is something on your face."

Having said that, he casually reached out and gently rubbed her left cheek with his fingertips.

"Oh."

Emily was a little hesitant at first, but then she decided to play along.

The couple had a good time while they had dinner together.

Emily's mind was pacing with thoughts as she ate quietly. If Jacob were to give up courting her and stop talking about that matter, there was no reason why they couldn't be ordinary friends. It would be pointless to break off a good relation and make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Not to mention the fact that Jacob had helped her a lot.

Jacob may have looked busy with his food, but in reality, his mind was all on Emily, always thinking about her.

Clearly there was nothing extraordinary about this woman, and yet, there was something about her that had touched his heart.

When they were done with dinner, Emily paid the bill and breathed a sigh of relief.

Emily was relieved at the fact that she and Jacob managed to have a simple meal together without being driven by any other underlying motives. 'Nothing could be better than that, ' she thought.

Emily didn't know that it was just one of Jacob's tricks.

As a matter of fact, Jacob was angry with what she had said that day, but if he'd allow that reason to drive a wedge between them, he would be fulfilling her wishes.

……

Over the next few days, Jack kept sending flowers to Emily, but each time she would just throw them into the trash bin. Jacob found this to be highly satisfying.

One day, Emily habitually threw away the flowers, and then returned to her apartment from work. At first glance, she saw a man standing at the door, looking lonely.

As soon as Jack saw Emily, his handsome face lit up a big smile. "Emily, you are back! I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I've brought your favorite strawberry cake. Today is..."

"Get out of here, now! Don't make me say it again."

Emily's face was as cold as ice.

The smile on Jack's face disappeared accordingly. "Emily, will you stop making a wry face at me?"

"Did

tion what his intentions were.

Jacob smiled, from ear to ear, not realizing that he looked like a child asking for the teacher to praise him. His voice went high pitched as he said, "Then, you've seen it now..."

Before he could finish talking, Emily covered his mouth.

"Can you hold it down. Jack is still outside..."

The both of them were there at the same time. Did they meet each other? No, if they had met, there would have been a fierce fight!

Jacob let Emily pull him in closer. He got angry when he thought about the time he was trapped in the closet because of Jack.

"Are you afraid that he will find out about us?"

Emily still had her hands on his mouth when he spoke, causing the hot air from his mouth to tickle her palm. She quickly let go of him and said, "Of course, I am!"

Jacob's face grew even darker.

Emily perceived his dissatisfaction and quickly added an explanation, "If you two end up fighting because of me, I will be the one to blame for it.

Let's try and keep the peace between us..."

There was no way she could have let them see each other there. What a annoying thing!

Although Emily's explanation did not satisfy Jacob entirely, his anger was diminished, as he whispered a sentence, "..."

"What?"

Emily didn't hear him clearly. She hesitated when Jacob asked her to come closer at first, but soon she leaned her head towards him to listen.

"Doesn't it feel like we're in a clandestine love affair?"
