Spoil You in All Life

Chapter 20 No Time To Play With You



"Mom, I've broken up with Jack."

"Errm...emm..." Mrs. Bai cried out helplessly," We've tried out every possible means, but all the money borrowed is merely a drop in the bucket; your dad will just be waiting for death if the medical fee isn't paid in full."

Emily got nervous, she promised," Don't worry, mom, I'll figure something out... I have 40 thousand at hand; I'm going to credit to your account first."

She had just graduated for nearly a year; her salary was not very high, but she saved every penny she could, and so she had 40 thousand by now to give to her parents.

Since her mother had deemed it unnecessary for her to return home to look after her father, the only thing Emily could do to help was to comfort her mother and send her money for her father's treatment. There was a sudden and unwelcome feeling of despair and bewilderment growing in her heart.

How was she going to come up with the money? But, it was her father's life that hung in the balance!

Emily scratched her head and finally remembered the drawing of the jewelry she designed which helped her win the championship... She wondered how much she could earn by selling the copyright. However, she wasn't completely sure with that idea as well, as her reputation as a designer had been tarnished; it would certainly devalue the design. Fortunately, her parents weren't very active on social media, otherwise, the drama from the competition would give them more reasons to worry about her.

"It doesn't matter!" Emily put that jewelry design drawing up for sale online, even though she knew it was more likely to be a losing battle.

Just as expected, all the malicious comments suddenly surged up like the rising tide of water.

Emily forced herself not to read those reviews, but continued to look for work and kept applying. But so far it was all a dead end. Nevertheless, she received a private letter of intention from someone via the network where she was selling her design drawing.

She exchanged a few words with the interested party, without much hope, but surprisingly, without further delay the person purchased her drawing without any bargaining and haggling.

Emily was a bit shocked when she received a bank receipt message on her cell phone. She wondered whether she had asked for too little as her asking price of 200 thousand was accepted so quickly. What if she asked for 800 thousand? She'd be able to pay for her dad's medical treatment by herself...

Realizing what she was thinking about, Emily quickly shook her head to come to her senses.

She knew that with all the rumours on the Internet about her being a plagiarist during the jewelry design competition, it was a miracle that she was able to sell it so effortlessly. How could she even wish to raise the price!

Emily expressed her gratitude to the buyer, silently, in her heart before crediting the amount to her mom's account.

But she knew that it was far from enough to make up 800 thousand.

Due to Jack's influence in Jingshi City, it was almost impossible for her to find any job related to jewelry design now. What else could she do? She wondered what kind of jobs would get her quick and easy money.

A few days later, late at night, Emily appeared in a high-end club in Jingshi City, where she had found a new job-salesgirl of high-end wine, a job with high profits once she succeeded in selling the wine. Caring nothing about her reputation, the director there accepted her application because of her good-looking appearance, although his intentions were clearly expressed through his ambiguous eyes. Emily, however, was not stupid at all, she caught the director's intentions but she had principles she was unwilling to falter from. She knew what was right from wrong, and she definitely wouldn't fall into the bac ways, no matter how much quick and easy money she could make from that.

It was almost midnight, but it was also the moment of revelry in the bustling city.

Emily wheeled the wine cart to the VIP box, ready to sell her wine; her head hanging down, when the noise in the box suddenly disappeared, followed by

A voice that spoke with disdain," Are you selling wine, Emily?"

Frozen for a moment by the voice, Emily raised her head nervously. Yes, much to her disappointment, it was Jack, with a hint of sneer on his face. 'How could the world be so small?' she sighed to herself.

It's not like Jack had planned to meet her there; he never imagined that Emily would be reduced to selling wine in such a place. Wasn't she aware of the dangers for a pretty girl like herself to work in such chaotic places?

"Yes. So what?" To avoid being

humiliated by Jack, Emily was just about to wheel the cart out. Her attitude made Jack's blood boil, who said angrily," If you dare step out of that door, I'll make sure that you won't be able to sell a bottle of wine today or ever!"

Emily stopped in her path immediately, she took a deep breath before turning back with a fake smile," How many bottles of wine do you want, Mr. Gu?"

"Come here, I'm trying to decide." With an air of self-importance, Jack sat in the middle of the leather sofa; his friends sitting on either side of him harassed Emily by whistling at her. "Hey, Jack, you've got your eye on this chick?"

"Never thought Jack had such interests. Is she still minor? She looks so small."

"Oh, come on! How could a minor look so mature? With all these sexy curves? You really have a lot of good fortune with love affairs Jack!

Jack frowned, with a hint of inexplicable displeasure in his face, at them for talking about Emily like that. However, he said nothing, and allowed them to continue ridiculing her.

He used to take Emily to visit Jacob

and his grandpa before their

break-up, but he had never introduced her to those friends because he had wanted to marry Emily and he was unwilling to let her to be influenced by them. Therefore, they had no idea of the relationship between Jack and the gift in front of them, whom they regarded as merely a lowly barmaid.

But, it didn't bother Jack, as she was no longer his girl to protect! He gave her a chance to put the past behind and return to him, but she refused!

Emily reluctantly wheeled the cart towards Jack, without giving any attention to those guys. One of Jack's friends sitting beside him, asked his female companions to give up their seats to her when they saw Emily approaching.

"Mr. Gu, have you made up your mind, please? I'm too busy to play with you."

Jack looked at her coldly," Open one."

Open one? Did he mean to buy one?

Emily intentionally chose the most expensive wine from the cart when Jack didn't mention which one he wanted. 'That scumbag deserves it!' she thought to herself.

She took great care to prepare and

open the expensive bottle of wine

for Jack. Just as she walked

him

with the bottle, before she could realize whether Jack had stretched his leg intentionally or

unintentionally, she tripped on Jack's foot.

Emily lost her balance and fell down immediately, causing the expensive bottle of wine to fly out of her arms! She was absolutely certain! It was definitely intentional!

At the thought of the heavy price tag on the bottle, Emily jumped desperately with all her strength, in a speed even beyond her expectations. Surprisingly, she caught the bottle. Thank God, the wine was still in good condition, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to compensate for a loss of such magnitude!

Emily didn't dare to wipe off the sweat from her head, as she held on to the bottle firmly, when she suddenly realized she had thrown herself onto Jack.

Jack pulled her towards himself and then sat Emily on his lap, in an intimate gesture, full of ambiguity.

"Since you're here to sell wine, you need to follow the selling rules. Now drink with me. I'll buy your wine if I'm satisfied, okay?"

Jack slowly placed his hands around her waist. The lust in his eyes and tone were obvious for every one in the room to notice.

Emily's face turned red in an instant. She stood up immediately, and slapped him hard across the face while holding the bottle tightly with the other hand. Everyone in the room was shocked and rendered speechless for a moment. It was hard to imagine that this woman could be so courageous!
