Chapter 8 A Doubt And A Flirt

• Jacob smiled to see how uncertain his fiancee was. It had happened a few times before that she insisted she had to go home, but he could change her mind by his seduction. This time would be no different.
• So, he bent his head forward and cupped her cheek while whispering in her ear, “Baby, don’t you want to be with me? I’m thinking of you and can’t wait to have you as my wife soon.” He kissed her neck and shoulder. “Maybe we should make our wedding faster. What do you think?”
• Emily bit her lower lip. With Jacob looking her in the eye, his words sounded sincere. Was she wrong in accusing him of having an affair with Viona? Besides the phone call, she didn’t have any proof.
• “Baby? Are you okay?”
• Again, his voice showed a deep concern. She licked her lips and shook her head. “I’m okay. I’m just … I don’t know ….”
• Jacob smiled and pulled Emily into his embrace. “I know, baby. I’m excited too and can’t wait for our wedding. There’s a month left, and that’s it. You’ll be mine forever.” He kissed her lips.
• She sighed and kissed him back. She might only overthink everything. Now, she felt guilty questioning his loyalty.
• So, after their kissing, she stared at him. “I came here without telling my mom. So I’ll call and tell her I miss you too much, so she won’t be worried. Meanwhile, you go back to your meeting. Make it fast because I’ll wait for you.”
• “Yes, baby.” He grinned and kissed her forehead. “You won’t regret waiting for me.” Then he took a folder and left his office to return to the meeting.
• Emily sank herself into a dark brown couch. She felt stupid now to come to Jacob’s office. With what she saw, no doubt Viona did a wicked thing in his office, but she might do it with someone else. No way she had sex with Jacob.
• But then, if it was true, why did she choose his office? Could it be to conceal her action? Because only a few people would enter Jacob’s office, she might be safer there instead in her working room.
• She blew her breath. Yes, it could be the reason. The sly woman! When she remembered Viona’s smirk before leaving Jacob’s office, her blood boiled. How dare the woman mocked her!
• Then her phone rang. Emily took her phone to see it was her mother. So she immediately picked up the call. “Mom?”
• “Where are you, sweetheart?”
• Emily bit her lower lip. “Uh, I’m at Jacob’s office.”
• Elsa raised her eyebrow. “Really? Didn’t you want to avoid him for a month?”
• Gulping, Emily shook her head. “No, Mom. It was because I was too stressed with all the wedding preparations.”
• Her mother laughed a little. “I see. I’m glad you have come to your senses.” But then she continued, “But I think what you said is good.”
• “Which one?”
• “About not meeting him before the wedding.”
• Emily groaned as she closed her eyes. “Oh, Mom! But I miss him!”
• “Tell you what. Since you are already in his office, let’s make the day not count. But tomorrow until your wedding, you can’t meet him.”
• “Mom, can we change our deal?” Feeling guilty about what had happened, she didn’t want to be away from him and was eager to spend each day with him.
• “No, my sweet girl.” Elsa laughed again. ”The wait will make the heart grow fonder. No matter what, I want your marriage well.”
• Emily breathed out a long sigh, but her mother was right. So, she finally said, “Fine. I’ll do as you said.”
• “Great! Take care and have fun for today.”
• “I love you, Mom.”
• “I love you too, sweetheart.”
• After her mother finished the call, Emily called Harry. “Harry, everything’s good. I’ll go home with Jacob. You can go home now.”
• “Oh, I’m glad everything’s good, miss,” Harry said. “Okay, then. I’ll go now.”
• Jacob did as he promised. Fifteen minutes later, he entered his office with a huge grin. “Baby, here I am, and for the rest of the day, I’m yours!”
• Emily leaped, ran to him, and then hugged him. “I miss you so much!”
• “I miss you too, baby.” He kissed her lips and hugged her tight. “Go to my apartment?” he asked in a deep voice.
• She nodded eagerly. “Yes!” But then she sighed. “It’s the last time we can meet before the wedding.”
• “Why?”
• “My mom gave me a slack today because I missed you badly. But she insisted the next time we will meet is on our wedding day.”
• Jacob stared at Emily and nodded. “I see. We must honor your mother’s request. Besides, a month is not too long though I miss you.” He whispered in her ear while pushing her body to his. “I miss our togetherness too.”
• She blushed, as she knew exactly what he meant. “Don’t you have work to do?”
• He shook his head. “The meeting is the most important agenda for today. My staff can finish the rest. Let’s go!”
• They left his office hand-in-hand. The receptionist stood and bowed her head at Jacob and Emily. “Miss Emily, I hope the surprise worked well.” She smiled at her.
• Emily gazed at Jacob and then glanced back at the receptionist with a cheerful grin. “Yes, it worked well. Thank you.”
• Jacob drove the car himself. Once they were in his apartment, they rushed to the elevator. Since Jacob’s apartment was on the top floor (the 55th), they waited for a while to reach it.
• He was impatient, but they already had an agreement not to do any PDA (public display of affection). Besides, as he was a public figure, it would be bad if someone spotted him unable to control himself.
• When they were finally on the 55th floor, he sighed. “Finally!”
• She giggled to see how impatient he was. After opening his apartment door, he stopped her by carrying her through it.
• Emily gasped as it was the first time he did it. When he already put her down on her feet again, she stared at him. “Why?”
• “Why what?”
• “Why did you carry me through the door?”
• He smiled. But before answering her question, he locked the door first. Then he cupped her face with both hands and gazed deep into her eye. “Because I can’t wait to be your husband and you as my wife.”
• “Oh!” It was unexpected, but quite sweet. She wrapped her arms around his neck. “I want it too. Badly!”
• No need for more words anymore as he carried her to the bedroom. They removed a piece of their clothes along the way until they were naked when they had already reached the bedroom.
