The man’s deep and ambiguous voice fell into Emma’s ears. Her body shivered for no reason. There was a strange and numb feeling that spread through every part of her body.
“Can you not think about that all day long?” Emma was embarrassed and angry, but her small face was red.
Archie tidied her messy hair. He said lightly, “You should be glad that I would rather starve than find another woman to vent my anger on. I only want to sleep with you.”
Heavens!
Could he be any more shameless?
Emma’s face instantly turned pale with anger. She unhappily slapped away the finger he had placed beside her ear, “How many women did you sleep with? What does it have to do with me? I don’t want to know.”
“This is the truth. You have to believe me.” Archie saw her suspicious expression and frowned. He did not know why, but he did not like how she imagine him as a playboy.
His fingers were very hot. Inadvertently touching them could make her skin turn red and her heart beat faster.
She instinctively took two steps back and kept a distance from him. “Even if I believe you, can you really do it? Don’t lie to me, I don’t read much, but my mind is still filled with paste.”
Archie’s expression became even darker and uglier. After that, he laughed coldly and said: “You deliberately broke the car just now because you want to reject my gift. Do you think I have a guilty conscience by giving you the car?”
Emma’s expression froze. He could even guess what she was thinking?
This man was simply too scary. It seemed that her little intelligence was really not enough.
“That’s right. I did it on purpose. I don’t want to take your things. I don’t want it in the future either.” Emma replied angrily and firmly established her principles.
“Alright, if you feel that I have a guilty conscience before sending the car, then I won’t send it anymore. Because I don’t have a guilty conscience at all. Of course, I don’t have kidney deficiency either.” Archie’s mood inexplicably became better again. He made sense of the situation. He got an outcome. This woman would be jealous of him.
It was really an exciting start.
Emma really wanted to cry because of him. What did it have to do with her if his kidneys were not deficient?
She still hoped that his kidneys were not too good. Otherwise, if his stamina was too good, she would be the one suffering.
“Today’s matter ends here. I won’t argue with you anymore. I’ll go back to the company first. You have a good rest.” Archie’s tone was indifferent. After saying that, he gave her a deep look before turning around and leaving.
Emma’s face was full of confusion. What did he mean by ‘stop here’?
He had not even said clearly what kind of person the woman he met on a date was.
However, Emma was not that despicable. She really wanted to find out about the other party’s situation.
Emma sat paralyzed on the sofa. She was tired of arguing and really needed to rest for a while.
But just as she closed her eyes to rest, her phone suddenly rang. It was so noisy. She could not continue sleeping.
She took out her phone from her bag and looked at the number. It was Tasya calling.
She answered without hesitation. Tasya’s excited voice came from the other end of the phone. “Emma, where are you? I have something I need your help with.”
“What is it? Tell me!” Emma lightly replied.
Tasya was bashful for a moment and shyly replied, “That… I want to give a gift to Yoseph but I am unable to see his face. Regarding this matter, I want you to help me give it to him. Is it convenient for you?”
“I’m giving it to Yoseph?” Emma’s eyebrows jumped twice, giving her a headache.
It was not that she did not want to help her good friend. It was just that giving a gift to a man could easily cause a misunderstanding. Furthermore, whether or not Yoseph knew Tasya was one thing. If he knew her, then it would be easy. She made it clear that if she didn’t know him, then how would she explain this matter to Yoseph?
“Emma, I beg you, you must help me,” Tasya begged her pitifully on the other side.
“Tasya, you must give a man a present yourself in order to show your sincerity. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for me to help you.” Emma was also in a difficult position.
“It would be great if I could see him, but you know his whereabouts have always been mysterious. I am a small celebrity in the Civada International, except to be able to see him once during the annual ceremony. Normally, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get any news about him. Emma, say something. Actually, I can’t guarantee that he chose me to join the production team because he likes me. I’m very worried about whether he chose me on a whim. So, I wanted to give him a present first. I’ll see what happens next.” Tasya’s tone was a little disappointed but more worried and uneasy.
Emma was affected by her friend’s uneasiness. She knew that Tasya had always been proud and was more fragile in terms of feelings. She could only not refuse, “Okay, I can help you once, but this is the only time.”
“Thank you, Emma. You are really my benefactor. If Yoseph and I had any further developments, I would definitely be grateful to you.” Tasya’s dispirited mood suddenly became excited and she kept saying good things.
Emma was amused and quickly comforted her, “Alright, Sya, what’s there to be courteous about between us? Have you bought the gift? When will I go and get it?”
“Yes, I’ve bought it. Can you come now? I have to fly to the production crew tonight.” Tasya pitifully begged her again.
Emma quickly sat up straight and nodded her head. “Alright, I came to find you. Wait for me at home.”
“Okay!” Tasya hung up the phone.
Emma went into the bathroom and washed her face. She went downstairs and asked Uncle Suan to arrange a driver for her.
It was still the driver from before. He looked at Emma with a bitter face and was embarrassed. “Young mistress, don’t blame me. Young master is my employer. I have no choice but to listen to him.”
Emma smiled in understanding. “It’s fine. I did not blame you.”
“Then I will thank young mistress for her magnanimity.” the driver then secretly heaved a sigh of relief and drove seriously.
Emma came to Tasya’s house. Tasya handed over an exquisitely packaged gift box. “This is it. Help me send it over.”
“What kind of gift is inside?” Emma looked around and asked curiously.
“It’s a secret!” Tasya winked at her mysteriously, “Can you stop asking? Let me keep a sense of mystery.”
“Little girl!” Emma scolded her and scolded her. She carefully put the gift box away, “Then I will go back first. You do not need to be too tired from filming. You must take care to rest.”
“I know, Emma. Can you help me send it over tomorrow? I am anxious to know the result.” Tasya pulled her arm and kept begging her.
“Tomorrow. I need to check on my schedule. If I have free time, I will see him.” Emma did not dare to guarantee that she would see Yoseph every day.
“Alright, I won’t make things difficult for you. You can give it to him when you see him. Hurry up and go home.” Tasya could only not make things difficult for her and let her go.
Emma got into the car and headed towards Grafton Family.
The evening sunlight fell on the beautiful scenery, making the entire manor appear mysterious and elegant.
Emma was in a daze as she hugged a pillow and laid on the sofa. She slept for less than two hours, and it was filled with nightmares.
She did not know what had happened. She dreamed that she had gotten married again. The wedding was in a huge auditorium, filled with bright red roses and blurry faces. She felt that she was wearing a pure white wedding dress as she slowly walked towards a man.
The closer she got, the more kind the priest’s eyes were. He held the book of the oath in his hand, and through the veil, she tried her best to see who her groom was.
He was dressed in a black suit, tall and straight, but his back was facing her as he stood with his hands behind his back.
Her footsteps quickened, and she walked faster and faster. However, she found that the red carpet on the road was getting longer and she ran forward with all her might. She picked up her wedding dress and threw off her high heels. As if she had experienced a tough battle, she finally stood behind the man. However, he found that his bare feet were full of scars, and his legs were weak and powerless. He fell to the ground and struggled to raise his head. He widened his eyes, wanting to see the man’s face clearly.
“Come, give me your hand!” The man finally turned around, and a large palm reached in front of her. The man’s deep and gentle voice fell.
It was Yoseph!
“Ah… ” Emma was completely shocked awake. Her whole body trembled, and when she opened her eyes, she found that the sky outside the window was dark, and her head was covered in a cold sweat.
“Why would I have such a dream? It is too strange.” She muttered in a low voice, but she was still panicking in her heart. She ran into the bathroom and used cold water to wash her face. She wanted to get rid of the scene in her mind.
But for some reason, the cold water cleared her mind, and even the scene in her dream became clear.
“Crazy. How can I marry Yoseph? Could it be that I really have the fate of being a second wife?” She self-deprecatingly mumbled. In the mirror, water droplets dripped down from her beautiful face, and her skin became even paler.
She turned around, went to get a set of conservative pajamas, and once again returned to the bathroom, preparing to take a hot bath.
Just now, she was covered in a cold sweat. When the wind blew, it made her shiver. She must not catch a cold.
Emma put away her pajamas, turned around, and her pair of beautiful eyes glanced at the huge massaging bathtub.
She had always wanted to have such a bathtub. After a tiring day, she could comfortably lie in it and enjoy a moment of silence.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t enjoy such treatment in the Quinsley Family. At this moment, when she saw the bathtub, her heart began to stir.
Twisting the switch, Emma looked at the warm water that was poured into the white bathtub. The corner of Emma’s mouth could not help but raise. She began to take off her clothes and prepared to enjoy the feeling of bathing.
When she leaned into the bathtub, the warm water ironed her delicate skin. It was gentle and comfortable, making her unable to help but hum a little tune.
Her long hair was tied into a bun and tied to her head. Her small face had been ironed into a pink color by the hot water, and her two snow-white arms were placed on both sides. Her beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed, and she felt dizzy again as if she was about to fall asleep.
At this moment, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside, and a tall and straight figure walked in.
