Chapter 330 - Ambush Interview

J closed her eyes and takes a deep breath before she scanned the anticipating crowd and searched for a particular face until she found Jacob who is looking at her. His beautiful face made her calm and serene. Their eyes were locked in together as she started her speech as if she was just talking to Jacob. It was strange, J thought. Because, that moment, the crowd eventually disappeared as she stares at Jacob's mesmerizing eyes. It was like during their first dance at the Foundation Gala when everyone seemed to have vanished and they were transported in someplace with no one else except the two of them.

Her speech lasted only for 2 minutes. It was mostly a thank you speech and she didn't even introduce herself.

When Jacob realized that her speech is about to end, he instantly stood up and helped her get down the stage. That moment, J felt that a great burden was lifted from her shoulders. It was as if that 2-minute speech was equivalent to a 48-hours duty in the hospital.

As soon as she gets back to their table, she glared at Buck who was full of pride then. Buck felt chills on his spine and looked around to see J staring at him with a piercing glare.

"I'll get back to you when this is over," J said in a cold tone. Buck felt his palms sweating profusely and his knees went feeble. This was the first time that his boss glared at him like this. Damn! Didn't she know that I am way older than her? I am practically qualified to be her elder brother but why does it feel like she was the one who gave birth to me and I owe her my life. Buck though internally.

Jacob felt like J is not comfortable in this social event so he decided that they should leave soon. They only stayed for an hour but for J it was too much socializing that it drains her energy. They exited the banquet leaving the rest of the team and Arthur's team. They still have a mission to accomplish after all.

Upon exiting the hotel, they were swarmed by a bunch of reporters. But instead of asking questions towards J, the reporters' questions were directed at Jacob. They were smart. They knew that they couldn't get an answer from J, so, it is better to not waste their energy on her.

But, they were still cautious around Jacob. So, they have to be careful with their questions. Although Jacob appeared to be easy-going, carefree and charming, for some reasons, he was still feared in the social circle especially by the first- and second-class elites.

"Dr. Jacob Parker, since when did your wife become the Black Heiress?" one of the reporters asked as soon as he saw the couple walked out of the hotel.

Jacob stopped while his arm is wrapped tightly around J's waist. He gave the reporter a charming smile and said. "She has always been Black Heiress for 15 years now."

Seeing that Jacob replied to the first reporter who dared, others followed suit and ask him another question. "But why does she have to hide her identity?"

"My wife is a private person and she doesn't want to be swarmed by reporters." Although Jacob is smiling, his response made the reporters taken aback. The message is clear. This is the situation that Black Heiress wanted to avoid that's why she hides her identity. But then, they already got this opportunity so why not seized it.
