With a sly smile on her face, the woman browsed the contents of Jacob's phone. Then, without
hesitation, she casually deleted Emily's last call from the call log.
Just then, Jacob came out of the washroom and saw the strange woman holding his phone. His
demeanor changed drastically.
"What are you doing? That's my phone in your hands." After going to the washroom, Jacob had
sobered up a bit.
Suddenly, something caught his attention. The woman looked familiar. He studied her carefully now
that he was clear-headed. She stared back at him with a surprised smile.
It dawned on him that this was the woman who had been trying to seduce him just now. Slowly, but
steadily, his anger rose.
She gave him back his phone and said with a smile, "I saw the phone just lying there. No one was
around. I was afraid that it might get stolen, so I decided to wait here with it until the owner came back.
Since you're here, here you go." The woman had a pair of big, round eyes, and they gleamed as she
spoke.
Her eyes made her look irresistible.
At first, Jacob hadn't believed her, but her eyes made him decide not to question her story.
Anyway, he had already gotten his phone back. He was the one who had been careless and left his
phone on the counter, so there was no reason to blame the woman.
However, this woman had her own motives and was not ready to give up. Just now, she had answered
Emily's phone call. Judging by the tone in which Emily spoke, the woman guessed that she might be
Jacob's girlfriend, but it also seemed that she and Jacob were in the middle of a fight.
That seemed to indicate to the woman that she had a chance. Now, more than ever, she was not going
to give up the opportunity to date such a fine man.
"Sir, I've been watching you for a while. It's so sad that you're drinking alone. Let me offer you some
company," the woman said. While speaking, she moved closer, almost rubbing up against Jacob's
body.
While he had had a lot to drink, Jacob was still sober. Immediately, he understood what the woman was
suggesting.
"No need for that. Stay away from me, or else I'll have to be much less pleasant." He was irritated now.
He only wanted to be by himself and drink in peace. However, it seemed that some people here did not
want to give him that chance.
What the fuck was going on in the world? Why were so many people desperate to follow this path and
seduce men for a better life?
Jacob knew that women had always found him charming, but he had always kept himself under control.
He deliberately stayed away from dating.
Humiliated, the woman grew sullen.
He had scared her, and she did not dare to bother him again. She hung her head and sighed. From
now on, she would have to admire him from a distance.
He had come to the bar, but hadn't flirted with anyone. Instead, he had drunk alone. What a good man
he must be! But she had no chance to find out any more about him. After one last look at him, she
shook her head and left.
After she had gone, Jacob resumed drinking by himself. For some reason, the unhappy memories in
his mind became more vivid. No matter how hard he tried, he could not forget them.
When Louis arrived, he saw Jacob's lonely form at once. He shook his head helplessly, made his way
to him, and sat down.
"Ah! It's you, Louis. Why are you here? Come and drink with me. Let's get hammered." Jacob had
quickly recognized that it was Louis who had approached him.
He held his hand out and bought him a drink.
He was in an awful mood right now. He had been drinking by himself for a while, but the more he
drank, the more upset he felt. Now, finally, someone was here for him to share drinks with. A faint smile
formed on Jacob's face.
Upon seeing Jacob like this, Louis pressed his lips into a tight line. Although he had no idea what had
happened, it was clear that Jacob was unhappy.
Louis had known him for a long time, but it was his first time seeing him like this.
'Now that I'm here, let's drink. I'm worried about you, ' Louis thought.
"Of course, I'm here for you. Why have you come here to drink by yourself? What happened?" he
finally asked Jacob.
He was deeply worried about the man, but he didn't know how to get him to talk. For now, the best
course of action was to drink with him.
He took the glass from Jacob and downed the whole drink. Together, they drank in silence. After a few
glasses, Louis began feeling tipsy.
"Buddy, do you think that the more you care about a person, the less they care about your needs? Why
have I become completely unimportant now that another person has shown up?" Jacob, who had drunk
considerably more than his companion had, held Louis in his arms while complaining.
When he was sober, it had been impossible for him to talk about how he felt.
Now, after a few drinks, he was more comfortable opening up.
Louis thought about this. Immediately, he understood why Jacob had come to the bar.
He and Emily might have quarreled because of another man. This might not be a big deal for others,
but it was to Jacob.
Louis was aware that Jacob was a jealous man, even though it might not appear that way to others. He
wasn't surprised at all that this might have been the reason why Jacob and Emily were currently in a
fight.
However, he felt sorry for his sister Emily, who was now still waiting for Jacob to get back home this
late.
"Hey, why are you acting this way? It's like you don't know my sister at all! She's a gentle soul who's
kind to everyone. If she's treating someone nicely, don't jump to conclusions. That's just who she is.
You're a man. Why are you being so petty?" The alcohol had enabled Louis to speak more frankly now.
"As you know, I treat her well. But why is she so ready to fight with me for a man she has only known
for a few days?" Jacob sneered. Being reminded of this, he began to grow angry once more.
Jonas was a really unusual man. Emily had only known him for a few days, but now, she was
defending him.
"Don't be upset. The most important thing for two people who are together is to trust each other. Why
don't you trust my sister? Besides, look at the time. It's quite late. Don't you feel guilty about leaving her
all alone at home at this time of night?" Louis tried to comfort Jacob, although he was a bit annoyed
himself.
Jacob had come to the bar and was drinking this late, while Emily was at home by herself. Didn't he
know that she would be worried about him?
Still quite drunk, Jacob tried his best to consider the matter.
"Yes, Emily is at home. How can I leave her by herself? I want to go home. That's right. I want to go
home," he replied. There was a hint of anxiety in his voice.
He had gotten so drunk today that he had forgotten that Emily was waiting for him at home.
Fortunately, Louis was there to remind him. Otherwise, the situation might have taken a turn for the
worse.
