The romantic candlelight dinner ended and the two of them left the restaurant and back by car.
After sweeping away the tense atmosphere, The way they interacted became more relaxed.
Archie started the engine and drove the car forward.
Archie saw a business under his name from afar. His eyes darkened and his voice became a little hoarse. “We are not going back to Grafton Family tonight. We will stay in a hotel.”
“Ah. . .” Emma’s face was full of surprise. The word hotel could easily make one’s imagination run wild. Could it be that Emma also had the wrong idea? Her small face turned red for no reason.
“It is almost 9 o’clock now. It is too much of a waste of time to rush back. We should put our time on rest.” Archie’s reason was too far-fetched, but when he said it out loud, it made sense.
“It’s good that you have decided!” Emma did not want to refute him. She did not want to raise her guard, and it was not impossible for her to stay in a hotel.
Archie parked the car at the entrance of the seven-star hotel and threw the key to the door guard. The large palm held her small hand very naturally.
Emma only felt her heart tremble. That heat almost made her mind drift.
Archie directly brought her to the elevator door. He had a permanent suite here. It was on the top floor and the scenery was excellent.
Emma’s face was red. She was still not used to holding hands with men in public. She always felt that it was too hypocritical.
However, Archie was very overbearing and did not let her retreat even half a step.
In the elevator, in the narrow space, in the silent air, there was an ambiguous feeling.
Suddenly, a ringtone broke the suffocating atmosphere.
It was Emma’s phone ringing.
Emma opened her bag and found her phone. When she saw the name, her eyes were slightly panicked and she subconsciously glanced at the man beside her.
Archie naturally saw her small movements and said in a faint voice, “It’s so late. Who called you?”
Emma was a little embarrassed and sleepy, but she could not lie, “It’s Jimmy!”
Archie’s eyes instantly turned cold. He grabbed her phone and threw it back into her bag. “Don’t answer.”
“Maybe he has something important to talk to me about.” Emma was shocked by his dominance and whispered.
“What important thing? Why did he need to talk to you so late at night?” Archie snorted coldly and said sarcastically.
Emma also realized that it was a little late, so she let the phone ring and let it stop.
The elevator door opened and Archie’s handsome face was covered with a layer of unhappiness. The tall figure brushed past her and took the lead to walk out.
Emma secretly sighed. Although she had said everything in the restaurant and he had confessed to her, Archie’s temper still could not be changed. He was good at changing and being jealous.
The phone suddenly rang again. Emma took out the phone and looked at it. It was Jimmy calling.
She held the phone tightly and saw that Archie had stopped in front of her. He turned his head and stared at her black eyes with a cold light.
“I’ll take it!” This time, Emma decided to take the call, even if the man’s face was full of displeasure.
“Hello!” The corridor was very quiet, which made her voice a little softer.
However, in Archie’s eyes, this was clearly a special treatment for Jimmy. His handsome face became darker and uglier.
His robust body turned around, and he didn’t stay for her any longer. He walked straight to the door at the end of the corridor, swiped his card, and flung it hard.
Emma’s beautiful eyes trembled, but she heard Jimmy’s anxious voice. “Mia, you must help me this time.”
Emma had never heard Jimmy speak to her in such a worried voice. She looked surprised. “Jimmy, what happened?”
“Archie asked someone to come to Miuccia International to talk about the acquisition today. I know it was because of my relationship with you that he made his move on Miuccia. Daisy was very angry now. If this really happened. . . My reputation in the industry will be completely ruined, so. . . Mia, you must help me persuade Archie. Let him let Miuccia go.” There was a hint of defeat in Jimmy’s tone. There was anger, but there was more worry.
“How could this be? He didn’t even mention this to me.” Emma was also very shocked. Could it be that it was really because of her that Archie took advantage of Miuccia?
“I don’t know what he wanted to do, but it must be because of our relationship that he decided to do this.” In Jimmy’s tone, After that. . . He said self-deprecatingly, “Mia, I’m sorry for what I said to you before. I was too impulsive and irrational. What right do I have to compete with Archie for you? Perhaps you will be a hundred times happier than marrying me if you marry him. It’s because I overestimate myself.”
“Jimmy, don’t say that. You are already very outstanding. Really. Maybe it’s just that our fate hasn’t arrived yet, but it’s meaningless to say all of this now. I will ask him about this later, and I will definitely protect your reputation. This is the result of your years of hard work. You can’t ruin it just because of me.” Emma replied with a heavy tone.
“Then help me persuade him. This matter is really very important to me. It concerns my future and reputation. Mia, you must help me.” Jimmy was extremely depressed, and his tone was somewhat dispirited.
“Jimmy, don’t worry. I will help you. Really.” Emma also felt a heartache. In her memory, Jimmy was always in high spirits. When had he ever been so negative? She really could not bear to.
“Thank you, Mia. I will wait for your news!” Jimmy thanked her sincerely and hung up the phone.
Emma held the phone. The shock on her face had yet to calm down. Why did Archie do this? Was he still suspecting that there was some kind of unclear relationship between her and Jimmy?
What should she do? She really didn’t want to implicate Jimmy.
Emma took a deep breath and walked towards the door.
She reached out and lightly knocked twice. The door was violently opened from the inside. The man only took off his pants and his upper body was exposed. His strong and healthy abdominal muscles were sexy and enchanting, full of strength. Emma’s beautiful eyes instantly widened and her small face involuntarily turned red.
She did not expect Archie to take off his clothes so clean when she answered the phone. She really could not bear such a perfect and sexy body.
“Did you have a good chat with your old lover?” The man’s tone was so sour that it couldn’t be any more sour. He asked with a sneer.
Emma frowned and walked past him and walked in.
“What did you talk about? Let me hear it too.” Archie turned around and stared at her delicate figure, his expression full of ridicule.
Emma put the phone back into her bag and turned around. Her eyes met his cold eyes and asked, “Archie. Do you want to buy over Miuccia Studio?”
Archie’s expression changed slightly and his tone became cold and ruthless. “He told you?”
“Why did you do that?” His answer was equivalent to admitting it. Emma could not help but ask anxiously.
Archie lazily pointed his finger at the top of his pants, but his tone was indifferent. “No reason. I just don’t like it.”
“Is it because of me?” His casual tone made Emma tense up. “If it was because of my relationship with Jimmy, you don’t have to do this. I really have nothing to do with Jimmy. I am just an ordinary friend.”
“He asked you to come and plead for mercy?” Archie opened the buttons on his pants and heard what she said. Strong body walked towards her step by step with his gloomy eyes. And with jealousy and anger, he said, “You have already decided to help him. Don’t keep saying you want to cut ties with him. You two are childhood sweethearts, his first love. This is enough to make him die a hundred times.”
“Archie, you can’t be so overbearing. Even if we grew up together, it doesn’t mean we have anything. Don’t you have any friends who grew up together?” Emma was angered to death by his words. She squeezed her hands tightly and tried to reason with him.
“Yes, I grew up with Yoseph when I was young. Oh, and Luisa. But for you, I rejected her fiercely.” Archie’s tone was filled with ridicule.
Emma’s small face was pale because of grievance, but her eyes were red. “Archie, I promise I won’t see Jimmy in the future. Please don’t do this, okay? If you want me to keep a distance from him, I will do it.”
“Emma, do you know that you are crying so much that it makes me upset? My wife is always pleading on behalf of other men. Have you considered my feelings? You better think about who is your husband. You should think about who you should stand on.” Archie was also very angry. He was injured. As a man, he couldn’t bear it.
Tears fell from Emma’s eyes. She quickly used the back of her hand to wipe them away. She sobbed a few times and sobbed. “I know I did not do it right. But this is the last time. Please let Jimmy go. Don’t ruin his future.”
Archie stared at her coldly and angrily. Two seconds later, he said coldly, “Yes, I can let him go, but you must remember what you just said. In the future, when I see you get entangled with him, I’m not messing with him, but I’ll kill him.”
Emma bit her lower lip. Although she felt wronged, at least Archie agreed to let Jimmy go.
“Okay, I will remember that.” Emma turned her face to the side, but her tears still fell uncontrollably.
If Mrs. Grafton wanted to sacrifice her WeChat Moments, then she would also accept her fate.
“Follow me in and help me bathe!” As if he wanted to punish her, Archie said in an icy tone.
Emma glared at him with some resentment. Why did he just turn around like an angel and become a devil?
There was really no way to get along with this man happily, unless she became a puppet that did not know how to think and everything went according to his mood.
But she was a human, not a real pet.
After entering the bathroom, the man was already lying lazily in the bathtub: “Help me massage!”
Emma did not say anything and rolled up her sleeves to dry them. But when her small hands touched the firm skin on his shoulder, she trembled.
Although she knew that this man maintained his figure very well, there was not a trace of fat on his body and he was full of aggression.
However, when the small hand truly touched his warm skin, the feeling that rushed into his heart became more real, and it made people’s faces turn red and their hearts beat faster.
