Chapter 27: Unexpected Encounter
The sight of him instantly soured her mood, and she couldn't help but wonder what he was doing there.
Although she knew he worked for Long Corp, the last she knew, it was at the second branch. So, since when was he transferred there, and why didn't Alex tell her? she thought as she simply pretended like she didn't see him and continued on her way out.
Jake, who had been headed to the company's cafeteria and had just stopped to interact with one of the staff, turned just in time to see her walking out of the elevator.
His expression twisted in disbelief as a wave of disgust washed over him.
Jake quickly excused himself from the conversation he was having and stormed toward Emma, his voice cutting through the air.
"Emma?" He called after her, but Emma just kept walking.
She wasn't in the mood to stand and talk to someone as disgusting as Jake, and she wasn't going to spoil her mood any more than it had been spoilt already.
"Emma! I'm talking to you," Jake called again when she didn't reply, and when she still didn't stop, he fastened his strides to get to her.
"So, it's really you, and you pretended like you didn't hear me. What the hell are you doing here? Have you come here to beg me?" He asked the moment he caught up to her just outside the company premises.
