A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Nothing."Instead of explaining in detail to Emily, Jack simply said,"I have to take this call."

Emily nodded and left him alone.

On the other end of the line, Rose heard Emily's voice. Her mood darkened as she said, solemnly,"Jack, I have something important to tell you."

Jack was trying hard not to show his impatience, as he walked a few more steps away from Emily and then asked,"What's the matter?"

"I want to talk to you face to face."

"I'm not available right now. Just say it over the phone."

"No, it is very important. It concerns the both of us."Rose used to be obedient towards Jack, but this time she insisted,"Jack, I need to see you."

"Don't beat around the bush--- just tell me what you want, or I'll hang up."

Rose got anxious when she heard that, so she quickly added,"Jack, I just want to see you to make things clear between us. If you don't want to come to me, I'll come to you."

"Are you threatening me?"Jack's jaw suddenly dropped to the floor.

He didn't want Rose to appear before Emily yet.

"No, I really have something important to tell you."

Jack glanced over to look at Emily, who was eating not too far away. After much deliberation, he compromised reluctantly,"Okay, but if this is another one of your games, you will be sorry. Now tell me, where are you?"

With a big smile of accomplishment on her face, Rose nodded to Tina and Jasmyn and gave Jack her whereabouts.

"Emily, I have to talk to the members of Tao clan. Just wait for me here and don't walk around, okay?" Jack had already found an excuse for leaving and lying to Emily.
