Chapter 1218

Chase laughed it off. “Chill out, man. I'm fine.”

Jacob was getting more anxious. “So, you're calling because...”

Chase drawled. “From the sounds of it, you're out and about. You're not at the office, are you?”

Jacob explained. “Mr. Larios, it's lunch break, so I went out for a meal...”

Chase asked with a grin. “With your girlfriend?”

"Yes. Mr. Larios, I'll return to the office right after lunch, within the break time!”

Chase chuckled. “Relax, man. I'm not rushing you back. Can you tell me which restaurant you guys

are at?”

30.0 5 agg

Jacob was a bit surprised, but he told Chase the name of the restaurant.

At this point, Belinda looked back and noticed Jacob lagging behind. “Jacob, what are you doing

here? Everyone's gone in!”

Jacob covered the phone receiver and whispered. “I'm on a call. It's Mr. Larios.”

After hearing it was Mr. Larios, Belinda's face clouded over. “Why the hell is he calling you? Is that

jerk trying to give you a hard time?”

Jacob shook his head. “No, hang on, let me finish the call.”

Afraid that his girlfriend's voice would be heard over the phone, Jacob moved a bit further before

he uncovered the receiver. “Mr. Larios, I will be back at the office soon. Is there anything else?”

Chase heard what Belinda said, and he chuckled. “No, nothing else. Tell your girlfriend that if she

calls me a jerk again, I'll fire her boyfriend.”

With that, he hung up.

Jacob felt a chill run down his spine and stood there stiffly with the phone, not knowing what to do.

Oh my God, Mr. Larios heard it!

Mr. Larios heard Belinda calling him a jerk, so would he really fire him?

Belinda saw Jacob still on the phone and approached him. “What happened? What's he up to? Still

not done?”

Jacob came back to his senses and helplessly said, “Belinda, Mr. Larios heard you calling him a jerk.”

Belinda rolled her eyes nonchalantly. “So what if he heard it? What can he do?”

Jacob managed a bitter smile. “He can't do anything to you since you've already quit. But Mr. Larios

just said that he'll fire your boyfriend.”

Belinda was alarmed. “Did he really say that?”

Jacob nodded.

Belinda reached out her hand. “Give me your phone!”

Jacob didn't know what she was up to, but he handed her the phone without hesitation.

After taking Jacob's phone, Belinda dialed Chase's number straight away.
