Emily was surprised for a second. She was surprised to see Jake Lewis there and unaware that John had been by her side the entire time.
She had completely forgotten all about him. She's still not used to having a bodyguard following her everywhere she goes.
Jake's imposing form stood immediately before her, staring at the five heavy bags she was carrying with creases on his forehead and two lines between his brows in an angry tone.
Without trying to help her, he began scolding her as if she were a child.
"What are you carrying right now? Why didn't you have the butler buy it for you? And how come you aren't with the bodyguard? I told you it was not safe to be alone. It would be best always to have someone with you when you go out, especially with Aiden or your driver and bodyguard. They shouldn't be with you if they can't do their job."
Jake's face had a grim expression, and he glared at John on the side.
