Chapter 484 Have You Ever Loved Me?
"Don't worry Anna, I think there must be a misunderstanding. I'll help you ask that dullard, and I'll call you back when I get the answer.” Gazing at Anna's desperate look, Seth could not help but comfort her. He then hastily chased after Jacob.
At the gate of the airport, Jacob was about t o enter a car with Blanchett.
Seth caught up to them and shouted," Jacob Shelby..."
Before he could finish the sentence, Jacob had already gotten into the car. He then slammed the door shut right in front of Seth.
The car left in the dust, leaving Seth behind by the road, stunned.
Bah, what was this?
Hoes before bros!
Seth looked at the car disappear in front of his eyes with a sorrowful feeling of being abandoned.
In the car, Blanchett could not help but gaze at Jacob bashfully, her eyes flashing with flares of passion.
She scooched closer to Jacob's side.
Jacob avoided it with a calm expression.
Blanchett was taken aback for a moment, and a glimmer of amusement flashed across her eyes.
It did not matter. She had plenty of time, and she could take her own sweet time with him.
Blanchett softened her tone and said softly, "Shelby, thank you for sending me to the hotel. Do you want to go to my room for a while later and have a cup of coffee?"
Her passionate eyes were almost stuck on Jacob's body. Even the blind could see the urging in her eyes.
Jacob's expression was cold, and he said suddenly, "Stop the car."
The car stopped.
Jacob took a glimpse at Blanchett. "I suddenly remembered that I still have important things to deal with. I’ll get off here, and the driver will take you to the hotel."
With that, Jacob ignored Blanchett's astonished expression and got out of the car.
"Shelby, Shelby..." The twist came too suddenly. Blanchett could not help but yell nervously twice.
She was about to get out of the car and follow Jacob, but she saw that Jacob had already gotten into a cab and left.
Blanchett grated her teeth, and a hint of discontentment flashed across her eyes.
But she calmed down very soon and she realized that she had to be more patient.
Anyway, she had made up her mind this time that she would never give up unless she got this mysterious man. She had plenty of time to deal with Jacob.
As time went by, with her appearance and family background, she believed that Jacob would not be able to resist her charm.
In the office of StarTech Co. Ltd, Jacob was reviewing the progress of the technical department's procedures for the past few days with an inexpressive face.
Suddenly, the door was opened directly.
"Who's that? Don't you know how to knock?" Jacob raised his head and eyes indifferently.
"Oh my God, those terrifying eyes, do you want to scare me to death?” Seth walked in with an exaggerated expression.
"Get out," Jacob spat.
"I won't. Hit me if you want to." Seth looked fearless.
Seth was so shameless... Jacob was completely helpless.
He took a deep breath and asked, "What do you want? Shoot me!"
Seth unceremoniously sat down on the chair, then stared at Jacob. "Now tell me, what were you thinking back then? Did you know that Anna cried after you took
Blanchett away!"
Cried?
Jacob's heart trembled slightly.
But his face was as cold and unconcerned a s usual. "What was she crying for?"
"Holy sh*t!" Seth looked at Jacob incredulously, "Are you truly dumb or are you playing dumb? Anna has been chasing after you for so many years that even a stone would have already been heated up. Besides, apart from those sweater cows, she's just another good-for-nothing woman. Can’t you tell that she was deliberately framing Anna just now? Are you sure you want to break Anna's heart for such a woman?"
Jacob's expression was nonchalant." Nonsense, Blanchett might not have deliberately framed Anna."
"What the f*ck? So I’m the one who's bullsh *ting now?" Seth smacked the desk. "That woman was so fake. Please don’t tell me that you can’t tell.”
"I really can’t,” Jacob said.
Seth was completely shocked. He stared at Jacob for a long time and said, “Don't you tell me that you’ve been bewitched by her thirty-four Es? Jacob Shelby, I’ve misjudged you, you’re..."
It was getting more and more ridiculous as Seth continued, Jacob could not help but speechlessly interrupt him a little, "In just a few glances, you've even got a hold of her measurements huh?" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Of course, with my vast experience, the margin of error is definitely within one to two inches. Back then...” Seth started his chatterbox mode subconsciously.
Jacob just looked at him quietly.
After talking for a long time, Seth suddenly realized and he slapped his thigh. "Jacob Shelby, you actually tried to derail us from the subject! Just tell me honestly, do you have any feelings for Anna? She has been pursuing you for so long, you can at least..."
"It was difficult for her to chase after me, but does that mean that I must respond to her?" Jacob glanced at Seth. “It has been four years, and I think I've expressed it very clearly. If she was the one who asked you to come, go back and tell her that I won’t like her, and ask her to give up already."
Seth opened his mouth in shock, he was a little at a loss. "Do you really want to say that? Anna will be crushed." 'You can’t ask me to give up my life just to prevent her from being sad, right?" Jacob said indifferently, "If I don’t like her, I don’t like her. I can't help it too."
Seth wanted to say a few more things and fight for Anna, but after giving it a thought, i t seemed that Jacob hadn't done anything wrong either...
Feelings couldn't be forced.
He couldn't just force Jacob to fall in love with Anna.
Seth could not help but complain dejectedly, "Okay, I shouldn’t have come. I could've avoided this drudgery."
He was not hardhearted enough to be the one to tell Anna the stone-cold truth.
"I believe that you'll be able to do it well.” Jacob added, "Now go."
Seth gazed at Jacob gloomily for a long time and then left the office in distress.
He promised Anna that there must be a misunderstanding.
Now that Jacob had said so, what could he say to Anna?
Seth decided not to call Anna immediately...
He should let the matter brew for a few more days before talking to Anna.
In the office, Jacob had his hands on the keyboard, but they did not move at all for a long time.
His cell phone rang suddenly.
Jacob took a glimpse at the screen.
It was Anna.
He kept quiet, muted the phone directly, and then let the phone vibrate by itself. Again and again, one after another, he watched each incoming call from Anna calmly.
It was unclear how long it took, but the phone stopped vibrating, and Anna sent him a text message.
"Jacob Shelby! It has been four years. Have you ever liked me?"
Staring at the text, Jacob's hands froze.
After a long time, he picked up the phone and replied with one word, straightforward and simple: No.
Afterward, he sat stiffly in his seat, motionless.
The cell phone did not light up again for the rest of the night.
An inexplicable emotion arose in Jacob’s heart.
Had Anna... finally given up?
Should he feel happy?
But why? Why did he feel like he had lost a piece of his soul?
