The atmosphere in the elevator was still very stiff and heavy. The three of them did not speak anymore. Archie’s gaze fell on Emma who had her head lowered. Yoseph’s gaze, however, had no place to rest. He could only stare at the elevator door.
His eyes reflected from the elevator wall. He saw the unwillingness, jealousy, and disappointment in his eyes and was shocked.
He quickly reached out and pressed on a random floor. The elevator stopped, the door opened, and he quickly left.
The elevator door closed again. Archie frowned and pulled Emma, who was standing straight, into his arms. “Yoseph is joking with you. Don’t take it seriously.”
Emma looked up and her clear eyes looked back and forth on the man’s handsome face. “You really didn’t sleep with the female stars here?”
Archie was about to break down. He felt that he had been wronged when she stared at him with her bright eyes.
“I really didn’t. I run a company to earn money, not to play with women.” Archie was so angry that he laughed.
Yoseph threw a bomb, but he ran away first and asked him to take care of the situation.
Emma laughed self-deprecatingly. “Why am I being so serious? Your past, even if I wanted to know about it, It has nothing t do with me.”
Archie’s handsome face tensed up. His brows were almost knitted together. His voice was a little hurt. “In the end, you still don’t believe me?”
Emma was stunned. That’s right, why did her words have such a strong sourness?
“Archie, can I trust you?” Emma seriously looked up at his eyes and asked.
Archie was really defeated by her naivety. However, it was also because of the purity in her bones that she attracted him like the sun.
“You have to believe me. In the future, other than me, you don’t have to listen to anyone else’s words, because none of them can be true.” Archie held her little face and left a deep mark on her pink lip. “Do you understand?”
His kiss seemed to have smoothened out the uneasiness in her heart. Emma recalled his cool breath and nodded.
He was like an obedient child, but Archie could not bear to see her.
The finish line had arrived. The elevator door opened, and Archie walked into his office. He pulled out the landline.
A few minutes later, a young man with a ponytail came up. He was as beautiful as a woman. Emma took a while to get used to his identity as a man.
“President Archie, this must be young mistress. It’s my honor.” This beautiful woman was called Kevin, the chief designer of Civada International. Emma will follow him to learn in the future.
Emma also quickly and politely reached out to shake his hand, but she heard Archie lightly cough.
Kevin was shocked and quickly retracted his hand. He smiled and said, “Young mistress also learned how to design, right? We have a good cooperation.”
“His name is Kevin. You can learn from him. If there is anything you don’t understand, just ask him.” Archie lightly said.
“Okay!” Emma looked at Archie carefully arranging her work. In a corner of her heart, she felt really sweet.
Kevin also quickly said, “President, don’t worry. I will definitely help the young mistress.”
“Don’t call her that. Try not to mention her identity. Just treat her as a beginner. Just call her by her name in the future. But I have a request. No one is allowed to bully her. If she is suffering when she works here, you have to take responsibility.” Archie’s tone was indifferent. However, there was a deterrent force that made Kevin nod his head quickly.
Emma covered her mouth and laughed lightly. Archie really did not show mercy when he threatened people.
“Alright, I have to go to the company. You can follow Kevin to the Design Department to report. Call me if you need anything.” Archie looked at his watch and walked to Emma. He patted her shoulder and left first.
Kevin was filled with emotion on the side. “Young mistress, President Archie is really good to you. Even I, this man, am so envious of you.”
Emma was amused by his words and teased, “When you came in just now, I was not sure if you were a man or a woman. To be honest, you are even prettier than any woman.”
“You said I look like a woman?” Kevin looked at her in surprise.
Emma quickly shut her mouth and apologized. “Ah, sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.”
Kevin was not angry and instead smiled. “Actually, I am not angry with you saying this to me. I spend every day trying to maintain my appearance, hoping to be praised by others.”
“Ah…” This time it was Emma who was dumbfounded.
Kevin threw her an electrifying glance with great charm. “I have a boyfriend. You should know that I am not different from you.”
Emma was amused by his flirtatious look and immediately grabbed his hand excitedly. “Do you really… Really like men? My God, I finally met a living one.”
Kevin did not expect Emma’s reaction to be bigger than his and gave him a big fright.
“You are not the legendary fujoshi, are you?” Kevin was also very surprised.
Emma said shyly, “I was very obsessed with anime a few years ago. Your appearance is very similar to the handsome guy inside.”
“Young mistress, it seems like we have a lot of common topics to talk about. Follow me. I will lead you to the office to take a look.” Kevin was still afraid that Emma would mock him if she knew that his orientation was abnormal. Now it seemed that this worry was completely unnecessary.
Emma instantly had a favorable impression of Kevin. Her beautiful eyes kept looking at him.
When she followed Kevin to the office area, some curious colleagues immediately surrounded them. “Director Kevin, you brought new people here again?”
Kevin immediately introduced her with a serious face. “This is Young… Emma, a new person, my assistant.”
Emma immediately greeted her new colleague with a smile. When some people saw that she was so young and that she was Kevin’s assistant, their eyes turned red with jealousy. One must know that Kevin was very cautious. He had a few assistants but they were all chased away by him. They did not know if this woman called Emma could hold on.
Perhaps Kevin’s introduction was wrong, Emma immediately became the topic of the colleague there. Later on, her name made a lot of jokes.
“It turns out that the office next door was decorated well. It was for this woman.”
“That’s right. A little assistant actually used such a large independent office. Don’t be too flamboyant.”
“I thought that our Design Department was going to send some big shot. I didn’t expect that it would be a little girl. This is really infuriating.”
“You probably don’t understand. Maybe they have a strong relationship.”
“Of course she has a strong relationship than us. Didn’t you hear what the people next door were talking about? This woman came to the company with the President.”
“President? It can’t be, right? Didn’t our President get married not too long ago? Could it be that this woman is Mrs. Grafton?”
“Impossible!”
When Kevin led Emma to visit her new office, the group of people outside the door had already started gossiping.
They vaguely felt that this woman’s background was not simple. In addition, Kevin was also friendly to her, so everyone naturally did not dare to make things difficult for her.
Emma sat on her office chair and looked to the side. Her field of vision was very good, and she could see half of the city.
Heavens, she could not believe that she could sit here and work, and all of this was because of Archie. Why did that man appear in her mind more and more frequently? She couldn’t get rid of him.
Her phone suddenly rang. Emma took out her phone from her bag and looked at it. When she saw the number, she froze.
“Hello!”
“Come to the top floor to see me!” The man’s voice was low and cold.
“I have work to do now. Can you not disturb me?” Emma’s tone was also somewhat dissatisfied.
“Do you want to come up to see me or do you want me to go downstairs to look for you? You think it through yourself.” The man’s tone was full of threats.
Emma looked outside the door and saw that there were many people whispering. She quickly stood up. “Don’t come down to find me. I will go up.”
After hanging up the phone, Emma sighed. What was Yoseph going to do again?
But if she did not go up, he would definitely run to the office. If her colleagues saw him, she really did not know what to say to them.
After telling Kevin, Emma took the elevator and went straight to the top floor!
When she walked out of the elevator door, she saw the man leaning against the railing. The smoke was so dense that she couldn’t see his expression clearly.
“Yoseph, why did you ask me to come here?” Emma only felt that the wind here was so strong that it messed up her long hair. Her dress was also outlined on her body. She raised her voice and asked.
“Isn’t that tie given to me by your friend? How could it be used by Archie?” Yoseph’s voice was cold, and he questioned her angrily.
Emma was stunned and looked at him strangely. “You said you don’t want it. My friend doesn’t want it back, so she gave it to me. I’m a woman and I don’t need a tie, so I naturally gave it to Archie.”
“I suddenly realized that the tie was not bad. Help me tell your friend that I took the tie. I want you to give it to me.” Yoseph was obviously trying to make things difficult for her. His tone was as evil as a devil.
“Yoseph, you have gone too far. How can you play with me like this?” How could Emma not see through his motive? She immediately became angry and her face tensed up.
Yoseph’s eyes focused on her body. He saw her long hair that was hooked to her ear. A bewitching long dress was blown to the side by the wind, making her perfect and graceful body even more sexy and charming. His eyes were deep and hard to see. He could not help but take another puff of smoke to suppress the excitement in his heart.
He looked into the distance with a cold gaze. “Emma, I am playing with you. What do you think?”
“Even if you take this tie, it’s not from your heart. Wouldn’t you be wasting my friend’s true feelings?” Emma became even more furious.
“It will be a waste. What can you do about it? The feelings of other women. I didn’t want it in the first place. Emma, do you know the pain of not being able to beg? Why did you provoke me again and again? Why did you make my life full of your shadow? How could I, Yoseph, be in such a sorry state today? Wasn’t it all because of you?” Yoseph suddenly took a few steps forward, his entire body almost touching Emma’s tightly hooked body.
