"I'm with my assistant, of course! You know I need her for work, right?" Emily exclaimed while she rolled her eyes. 'This man worries too much!' she thought.
Despite feeling peeved, Emily knew that Jacob only acted like this because he cared for her.
After all, with Jacob's status as one of the most powerful businessmen around, many of his competitors would love to get the chance to whack him on the head. However, it was hard to get close to him since he had so many guards around him at all times. So instead of him, these people might go after his family.
"Okay then. Have a good day at work," Jacob replied in a soft voice. Knowing that Emily was in safe hands with her assistant alleviated some of Jacob's worries. There was no point in bickering with her anymore so he simply said goodbye.
However, he was still a little restless. He had a feeling in his gut that something troubling was about to happen.
Emily placed her phone on her lap, and then helplessly shook her head. She couldn't do anything about Jacob's behavior, leaving her to silently endure his random outbursts every single time.
Despite that, she didn't mind at all. She knew it was just the way that Jacob expressed his love for her, so she chose to let it pass.
A few minutes later, Emily and her assistant arrived at the charity foundation for depression. From the moment they entered the building, they hardly took a break. It was so busy at the foundation that it was impossible to even get a cup of tea.
Nevertheless, the work they did was to serve and help the community. No matter how tiring it was for Emily, she ignored the aches in her body since it meant helping other people.
After half a day's work, Emily felt a little drained. Fortunately, the people who had planned the event had already prepared a place to rest for the volunteers. Emily headed there and eagerly sat in a chair. It was quite a pleasant room since the hustle and bustle of people couldn't be heard.
'Is that her? Did she come here to help with the event?' Jonas thought to himself while he stared at Emily from afar. He approached bit by bit and tried to make sure his guess was right. Finally, when he was close enough to recognize her, he walked forward to say hello.
Emily, who had her eyes closed while she rested, slowly looked up when she heard a male voice saying her name. She saw a man dressed in a white coat and, after a few seconds, realized that it
d what Jonas actually meant, that she was the sole reason for the creation of the foundation, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
She knew that she hadn't done it alone. Without Jacob's help, she wouldn't even have come close to achieving what she had done now.
"Please, don't give me too much credit. Jacob had a bigger part in all of this. Without him, there wouldn't be a foundation. What you're looking at is just the front-woman. I'm just the person who handles the publicity side of things. Jacob is the one you should be inviting to dinner since he's the one doing everything behind the scenes." Emily believed that it would be shameful to receive all this praise from Jonas without her telling the truth.
This amazing achievement was a collective effort. It would have been impossible to do it alone.
Upon hearing her sincere confession, Jonas thought that his praise was indeed lacking.
The way that Emily spoke right from the heart made Jonas' heart melt. He couldn't stop smiling when he realized how kind she truly was.
"I'm sure both of you worked hard to get to this point. So please, don't be so humble. Honestly, I like surrounding myself with compassionate people. Since it was both of you who started all of this, it means that Jacob is also a kind-hearted person like yourself. How about the three of us go out to eat?" Jonas sincerely uttered to Emily. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether he was being serious or not.
Emily had refused him once and knew that it was not nice to do so again. She worried that Jonas might get a bad impression of her if she turned him down a second time.
