Chapter 80 Jacob Asking Kate Out
Kate was exasperated. It had been some time since she had come to Four Seas Corporation, but she had yet to see the chairman. Moreover, she had not even seen a trace of Alex recently. Her mood soured.
There were many times she had wanted to go straight to the chairman, but the secretary always stopped her. As she could not come up with a reason to meet with the chairman, the secretary refused to let her in.
It made her even more vexed.
Kate took out her phone, about to call Heather for a drink tonight.
Right then, her phone rang. It was from Jacob.
Kate did not want to pick up his call.
She did not have any positive feelings about him.
Furthermore, she knew Jacob’s motive.
All he wanted to do was to get close to her, to attract her attention and court her.
Kate hesitated for all two seconds before she rejected the call.
However, Jacob refused to give up, and he kept calling.
When he called the fourth time, she picked up the phone, annoyed.
“Jacob, how can I help you?”
Jacob quickly said, “Kate, you’re off work, right? It’s been some days since you’ve come to Nebula City, and I haven’t welcomed you properly. Let’s have dinner tonight.”
She was indeed looking for someone to vent her frustrations on, so she agreed to it after a while of contemplation. “Okay. You pick the place.”
Jacob grinned as he swiftly continued, “Let’s go to Happy Living like last time. It’s the best restaurant in Nebula City.”
Kate nodded. “Alright. I’ll be there in a while.”
After ending the call, she realized that it was already past her working hours. She tidied up her documents and left.
Meanwhile, Jacobs was in a suit with his hair gelled back. He was standing straight on the outside of Happy Living and waiting for Kate to come.
The Four Seas Corporation had bought 61 percent of his family’s company’s shares. Even his grandmother had lost her say in the company. Now, Heather was had the last say in running Jennings Corporation.
No one in the Jennings family could accept the fact. They wanted to turn the tables, hence, they thought of Kate Sutton.
The Sutton family was a reputable family in Lumenopolis. If Jacob could capture Kate’s heart and marry her, the Jenningses would return to their glorious status. They would be able to retrieve the 61 percent of shares from the Four Seas Corporation.
Demi had given the last million that they had to Jacob, and she had reminded him that he had to successfully court Kate.
This was the only way to save the Jennings family.
Jacob had sworn to his grandmother that he would capture Kate’s heart.
Soon, Kate alighted from the cab.
She was wearing a casual shirt and a pair of jeans. She looked youthful, and her appearance caught the attention of everyone around her.
Feeling proud, Jacob hurried over to her. “Kate, you look gorgeous today. Quick, come in. I’ve prepared everything.”
“Thank you.” Kate nodded politely before entering the restaurant with Jacob.
Instead of booking a room, Jacob had reserved a quiet booth.
After all, he only had one million with him. If he booked a room, it could easily cost him more than 100 thousand.
He knew that it would take more than a dinner to court Kate successfully.
He planned to invite her to a movie after dinner, then shopping. While they shopped, he would buy a present for her.
If the opportunity presented itself, he would go to a hotel. If not, he would invite her again tomorrow.
Therefore, he had a budget for the dinner.
After taking their seats, Jacob ordered.
He raised a bottle of fine wine and poured the liquid into Kate’s glass. “Kate, this wine is imported from France. It’s more than 30 thousand a bottle. Have some.”
“Let’s skip the wine and go for beverages instead. Thank you,” Kate rejected.
