Warm water droplets flowed over her slender and snow-white body, warm and moist. Emma held the towel with both hands. Her heart was pounding.
When she thought of the feeling of living a life worse than death, she could not help but shiver. Archie’s physical strength was too good, and he was using a different method to torture her.
“It’s almost half an hour. Are you planning to sleep in there?” Through the sound of water, the man’s voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
Emma then realized that she had been drenched for too long and her skin was red. She quickly turned off the water and dried the towel to clean it.
After taking out the nightgown, she found that she only brought a single robe in. There were no undergarments or underwear.
Her whole body trembled again, but. . . She had never planned to stay in a hotel. Who would bring their personal clothes out when they had nothing better to do?
A bitter expression appeared on her small face. Emma pulled her sleeping gown tight and tied it up. She thought in her heart that Archie must have done it on purpose.
She pushed open the bathroom door and came out with water vapor all over her body. Her pair of clear black eyes also seemed to be covered with water vapor and ripples of light. It was indescribably beautiful and moving.
Archie leaned against the wall beside the bathroom door and held a wine glass in his hand. When he saw her wrapped tightly and walked out, he frowned slightly.
But no matter how wrapped she was, that tender and smooth skin was dyed red by the hot water, making Archie’s eyes dim and obscure.
Emma avoided his burning gaze and whispered. “My clothes are all wet. Can you get someone to bring me a set of clothes?”
“Someone will send it over tomorrow morning. What’s the hurry?” When Archie heard her say that her clothes were wet, his strong body was shocked for no reason. His mouth became dry.
Perhaps the atmosphere was really too good, and it made one feel relaxed both physically and mentally.
The girl’s pink neck, her hair was wet, and a few strands stuck onto her snow-white face. She was both cute and mischievous.
Emma pulled her lapels even tighter. This suite was obviously very spacious but she felt that the air was not enough and started to pant.
The man behind her had a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes, causing her to panic.
Archie could see that she was very uncomfortable. He walked to the bar counter, put down the wine glass, and walked towards the wide bed.
“Come here. . .”
“Archie, I seem to have forgotten to bring medicine over to eat.” A cunning look flashed across Emma’s beautiful eyes as she softly said.
Archie’s handsome face slightly tightened, and his tone became somewhat indifferent. “Don’t think that I am so thirsty. I know that you are still sick.”
Emma felt relieved in her heart. “Then let’s sleep early. You have to wake up early tomorrow to go to the company again. Don’t be too tired.”
Archie and his strong body laid on the soft bed. His eyes locked on her. “Got it. Come and sleep.”
Emma did not know whether he was telling the truth or not. Did he really let her go?
However, there was only one bed in the bedroom. She could only walk to the other side of the bed and lie down. She instinctively hugged the blanket.
“Archie, you said it before. . .”
“Shut up, sleep!” Archie interrupted her resistance and only held her in his arms. He did not do anything else.
Emma tensed up and waited for a few minutes. When she saw that the man really did not do anything, she relaxed and prepared to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Emma had already fallen into a deep sleep. Archie’s large palm moved a bit above her delicate body before he discovered that she really was not wearing anything. He cursed softly but did not dare to do anything.
That night, Emma had a very strange dream and it scared her until she ran all night.
When she woke up, she realized that. . . It was actually related to a certain man.
Archie did not sleep well the whole night. His handsome face was a little tired as he got off the bed.
Emma also did not feel sleepy. She blinked her sleepy eyes and then shouted to Archie, “Can you get someone to give me clothes now?”
Archie unhappily acknowledged. He made a call and ten minutes later, someone came in with a set of female clothing.
Emma took advantage of the time when Archie was in the washroom to quickly change her clothes.
This was Archie’s exclusive room. There was his hat room inside. He came out of the bathroom and turned into the hat room. A few minutes later, he came out in a suit and returned to his calm and steady side.
The two of them went to the restaurant on the third floor to have breakfast. When they went down the hall, Archie turned around and asked her, “Where are we going? I’ll send you off.”
“No need. I’ll take a taxi home myself. You can leave first.” Emma did not want to let him go to the company by mistake.
“Get in the car!” Archie’s car was sent over by the guard. Archie raised his eyebrows at her and said, “I am worried that you will take someone else’s car.”
Emma’s heart warmed for no reason. A trace of a smile flashed across her pink and beautiful face.
Archie drove back to the Grafton Family and stopped at the entrance of the hall. When Emma pushed the door open, she suddenly thought of something and said, “Archie, you promised me that you won’t make things difficult for Jimmy. Please keep your promise.”
Archie’s handsome face darkened. “You are really concerned about his matter. Get down!”
Emma was driven out of the car by him. As soon as she closed the door, the car dashed out like a shooting star.
In Miuccia International CEO’s office, Daisy’s expression was somewhat haggard. Because of the acquisition, she did not sleep for two consecutive days.
There was a knock on the door. Daisy’s tone was very harsh, “Come in!”
Jimmy pushed the door and walked in. Daisy saw him and immediately asked with anticipation and anxiety, “Jimmy, did you call Emma or not? What did she say?”
Jimmy actually deliberately delayed the call for a day to call Emma, in order to make Daisy even more anxious.
“I called last night. She promised to help me. I should be able to see the result today.” Jimmy’s handsome face was also very tired. Green stubble also appeared on her beautiful chin.
Daisy was worried and anxious for two days. Finally, she revealed a smile and hugged Jimmy. “Jim, thank you for helping me.”
Jimmy pushed her away. “Director Dai, don’t be too touched. I did not help you for nothing.”
“You are loyal to Miuccia International. I will not treat you badly. Jim, when the crisis of the acquisition is resolved, I will take you to see my father.” Daisy could not hide her admiration and adoration for Jimmy. In fact, on the stage where the award ceremony was being held abroad, Jimmy was in high spirits and his confident and elegant figure had already attracted Daisy’s attention.
Fate was such a wonderful thing. In a dull day, when she raised her head, she saw his figure again. How could Daisy not be happy?
“Director Dai, I must clarify one thing. I am helping Miuccia International, not to be the son-in-law of your family. I just don’t want to see such a platform with a bright future to be taken away by others. There is already a person in my heart.” Jimmy’s tone was calm and his words showed some ruthlessness.
Daisy’s face immediately became gloomy and she laughed self-deprecatingly, “The person in your heart is Emma, right?”
A painful expression flashed across Jimmy’s face.
“Don’t be silly, Jim. Do you think Emma will still follow you? She is now Mrs. Grafton, Archie’s woman.” Daisy was sad, but she could not help but sneer at him.
“I believe that she will not stay in Grafton Family for long. She is not suitable for Archie.” Jimmy’s understanding of Emma and young mistress’s harsh requirements could not hold Emma’s stubborn heart. It would not take long for Archie to divorce her.
“In this economic society, money represents everything. Love isn’t noble at all.” Daisy had long seen through everything. It was the influence of money on every one.
“She is not a greedy woman.” Jimmy said with certainty.
Daisy’s heart was very hurt. She put her hands on the desk heavily. There was some resentment in her eyes. “Okay, just wait for her. I want to see how much patience you have to wait.”
“If Director Dai has nothing else to do, I will go down to work first.”
“Jimmy. . .” Daisy unwillingly called out to him. “If I say that I have fallen in love with you a year ago, do you really want to be so heartless and reject me?”
Jimmy was slightly startled, but he still said indifferently: “Sorry, I have liked Emma for ten years!”
Ten years of relationship, how could it be replaced by one year of relationship?
Around ten o’clock, James brought his team over to resolve the acquisition of the letter of intent, and the crisis of Miuccia International was resolved.
At the same time, the imported goods of Quinsley Family were allowed to be sent from Haika to the factory of Quinsley Family.
Gustav saw the goods were on the assembly line and quickly called Emma with his phone.
“Emma, you have helped grandpa a lot this time. Tell me, how do you want grandpa to thank you?” Gustav’s tone was full of praise.
Emma did not expect Archie to be so fast. Her heart was slightly trembling.
“Grandpa, if you encounter any problems next time, can you not ask Archie for help?” This was Emma’s only hope. She really did not want to be shy and beg him again.
“Didn’t Grandpa find him because he had no other choice? If I can solve it myself, I definitely won’t trouble him.” Gustav was a little unhappy. What was wrong with Emma? She had only been married for a few days and had already started to think about Archie’s plans?
Emma sighed lightly and suddenly thought of something. She could not help but say, “Grandfather, if you really want to thank me, give me my mother’s address. I want to go overseas to see her.”
“What?” Gustav’s tone immediately became stern.
Emma quickly explained, “Don’t worry. I won’t disturb her family. I just want to look at her from afar. I beg you. I really want to know how she is doing.”
“Your mother is doing very well over there. Don’t worry.” Gustav answered her coldly.
Emma felt a little bitter. “Grandfather, why didn’t you let me see her since I was young? Did something happen to my mother?”
“Of course not. Your mother is fine. Grandpa just doesn’t want you to see her. I’m afraid of bringing up something bad to her.” Gustav said earnestly.
Emma froze again. Ever since she became sensible, her grandfather had warned her not to see her mother. Because when her mother see the daughter of the man who had hurt her will make her go crazy.
