章節 136: CHAPTER 136 – The dinner (part one)

　　Emma POV

　　I was just about to walk into the restaurant when someone called my name.

　　I turned to my left and saw Jake.

　　“I will be here the whole time.” he said, his voice laced with anger. “If he does something, mind-link me immediately.”

　　I nodded and gave him a small smile.

　　“It will be okay, Jake.” I said. “I will be okay. Thank you for being here.”

　　I saw his jaw clench. He closed the distance between us in just a few long strides. He pulled me into a tight hug.

　　“I will fucking kill him if he tries something.” he mumbled, tightening his arms around me.

　　“He won’t, Jake.” I said as I patted his back gently. “I will be okay.”

　　Jake took a deep breath and let me go. He took a step back, and I gave him a small smile. He didn’t smile back. He looked furious.

　　I sighed and turned back around.

　　I could do this. Everything would be okay. It was a business dinner. I would go in, talk to him, and go back home to my mate.
