Along the way, Emma’s mind was empty. Archie’s words kept repeating in her mind.
She even forgot that her hand was held in his palm. That scorching temperature kept burning into her heart.
She couldn’t help but feel her heart tremble.
The destination of the car was not the villa of Grafton Family, but the entrance of the main hall of Grafton Corporation.
Emma was shocked by the domineering and grand door outside and came back to her senses. She looked at the man beside her in surprise. “Why did you bring me here?”
“Come with me to the office to have a seat.” Archie said lightly. The door opened and he walked straight down.
Emma let out a breath and got off the car with him.
This was the headquarters of Grafton Corporation, in a large and spacious hall. People were coming and going, but once Archie stepped in, everyone’s eyes turned to him.
It was as if he was the most dazzling light source, causing people to involuntarily want to look at him.
“President Archie, good afternoon!”
Facing the employees of the company who took the initiative to greet him, Archie’s expression was indifferent, and he was not polite at all.
Emma deliberately hesitated her steps and maintained a distance of one to two meters from Archie. As a result, no one paid too much attention to her except for some lustful men.
Emma was also wearing a ceremonial dress. In this kind of strict workplace, it was indeed very eye-catching.
When the woman saw her, she was also secretly surprised. Who was this woman? She actually dared to enter Grafton Corporation without wearing formal clothes?
If she was a newcomer here, she would definitely be fired mercilessly. Almost everyone knew the first rule of the Grafton Corporation was to dress up.
Emma did not care about other people’s strange looks. Seeing Archie stepping into the elevator door, her heart became anxious. She quickened her steps and followed him in.
The elevator door closed at the right time. A flash of displeasure flashed in Archie’s eyes. “How long do you need to not be afraid of me?”
Emma was stunned for a moment.
Archie’s tone was even more dissatisfied. “If you don’t want to appear on the same screen as me, you can go back now. I can’t help but force you.”
“My heels are too high. I rarely wear high heels in the past. My feet are not comfortable.” Emma was speaking the truth. After stepping on high heels for a long time, the heels were sore and painful.
Archie’s face finally looked better. In the next moment, he squatted down. Large palm reached out to grab her high heels. “If your feet hurt, take them off. Don’t wear them.”
Emma’s beautiful eyes widened. She could not believe that she was so noble. For someone like him, he was actually not modest at all and wanted to take off Emma’s shoes for her.
Her face immediately turned red and she hurriedly took two steps back. “No need. I’ll do it myself.”
Archie forcefully grabbed one of her slender feet and forced her high heels away.
Emma’s mind buzzed. She only felt extremely embarrassed. Putting aside the smell of the shoes that she had worn for the whole day, letting a man grab her feet to help her take off her shoes was already something that made her panic.
Archie happily took off her two high heels and threw them to the side. At this moment, the elevator door opened and the floor arrived.
Emma thought that she would walk out barefooted in a while, but very quickly, this thought was unnecessary.
The man, strong body, bent his two strong arms. He lifted her horizontally with his bare body.
“Uh. . .” Emma took a deep breath and felt her body rise into the air. Her small hands instinctively wrapped around the man’s neck to prevent him from falling.
Archie walked towards the elevator door with heavy steps. When he passed by a row of assistants, the group of women who were busy with work were all stunned and in disbelief.
In their eyes, the high and mighty, cold and strict President Archie was actually hugging a girl.
This scene instantly broke their hearts. All of them were envious and jealous. They began to guess the identity of this girl. Was she the woman who had just gotten married to Young Master Archie not long ago?
Emma also did not expect there to be so many employees here. Her small face was red with embarrassment. She subconsciously buried her face into Archie’s arms, not daring to look at their expressions.
Archie, on the other hand, looked calm and steady. He carried Emma directly into his office.
In the huge office, a cold tone hit the face. There were only three colors, grayish-white and black, which matched the temperament of the owner very well.
“Put me down, I can walk on my own.” Emma was the most anxious, she wanted to escape from his embrace.
Archie pursed his thin lips and did not say a word. He just threw her into the sofa, neither light nor heavy. Then, he walked to the desk, took the landline, and dialed a number. “Send a set of female clothing and a pair of 36-yard female shoes to my office. I want them flat.”
Emma did not know who he was talking to, but the content of the conversation was related to her.
Her whole body trembled again, but because she said her feet hurt, Archie not only helped her take off her high heels but also asked someone to bring her clothes and shoes. This kind of heart-warming action was the most heart-warming.
Emma’s emotions were in turmoil. She unnaturally combed her long hair by the side of her ear and lifted her head to meet the deep and cold eyes of the man.
Her heart was in a panic.
“What do you want to drink?” Archie’s gaze tightened as he asked her indifferently.
“Anything is fine.” Emma’s mind was in a mess and her heart was also in a mess. It was all messed up by Archie.
She was still determined to divorce him. However, he had all kinds of gentleness, caring, and all kinds of pampering. He had practically crushed all of her plans.
Archie asked an assistant to bring her a cup of lemon water. Emma held the cup and drank a few gulps, relieving her dry and uncomfortable feeling.
Archie sat on his office chair and lazily held his hands, but his eyes were still probing her emotions.
Emma stared at the carpet with her beautiful eyes and wandered around a few times. She looked up at him and asked, “You usually seduce other women like this, right?”
Archie’s eyes slightly stiffened and a touch of gloominess flashed across his face. “What do you mean by that?”
Emma laughed and said, “I think you are good at dealing with girls. You must have trained yourself.”
Archie took a deep breath. He almost choked. This woman dared to question his personality?
“How much do you know about me?” Archie’s voice became cold.
Emma blinked and shook her head. “Arrogant and haughty, looking down on everyone, but I have to say that your care can move people’s hearts.”
“Thank you for your praise. I can’t deny that you are the first person who dared to scold me in front of me.” Archie had an impulse to pinch her.
Emma, however, did not turn away her lips. “What I said is the truth.”
“It seems that you know me very well. That’s right. I am the bad guy in your heart.” Archie didn’t want to refute her words. Instead, he calmly accepted her scolding. His tall body approached her step by step. “You better be mentally prepared to marry a bad man.”
