The Kiss that Sparked it All novel 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?"

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?”
