The man suddenly leaned over, causing Emma to retreat in fear. However, the man was already prepared. A large palm was very overbearing as it grabbed her waist, not allowing her to escape.
“Let me go, Yoseph. By doing this, are you worthy of Archie?” Being pushed by his large palm, Emma could not help but throw herself into Yoseph’s arms. In the next second, both of his hands landed on her waist. The two of them hugged each other stiffly. Emma immediately cried out in embarrassment and anger.
This sentence was like a knife that deeply stabbed into Yoseph’s heart. His entire body trembled. The large palm that was hugging her suddenly loosened, and his expression became even more miserable and painful.
Emma hurriedly ran to a safe place. She did not care about the wind that messed up her hair, nor did she care about her dress being blown up all over the place. She said angrily: “Archie and you have been brothers for so many years. How can you have any evil thoughts about me?”
“Do you think this is what I want?” The next second, Yoseph returned to his cold and frosty appearance. His expression was tense, but his tone was bone-piercing cold.
Emma suddenly choked and could not speak. However, her expression was still in shock.
The aura that came from Yoseph just now was unfamiliar. It was clear and cold, and it also made her feel afraid.
She had gotten used to Archie’s embrace. Yoseph hugging her made her scalp numb. An indescribable feeling of rejection had occupied her heart. She only had one thought in her mind – stay away from this man, a little further.
Yoseph stared at her as if he could see through her soul. His voice was low and filled with anger and shame. “You came over again and again to tell me that you want to divorce him. Do you know what it means to say this to a strange man all day long? Do you really think that I’m a saint? I can resist your seduction time and time again?”
When Emma heard these words, her entire body trembled and her legs almost went limp. At that time, she was also very helpless and afraid. That was why she would look for him again and again. In the future, when she held onto his weakness, she would be able to use him to help her escape the bitter sea.
But now…
Everything had changed. That bitter sea had already become sweet. She was almost going to spoil it and never wake up again.
“I’m sorry, Yoseph. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have provoked you. Please let me go.” Emma covered her face with her hands and shook it hard. Her hair was messy and her eyes were sore.
“Don’t apologize to me. I don’t want to hear it!” Yoseph walked past her with heavy steps and stood behind her. He said coldly, Don’t apologize to me. I don’t want to hear it! I don’t know how to solve the pain. Why don’t you let me wait a little longer? Don’t force me to give up.”
Emma trembled slightly. When she turned around, the man’s figure had already disappeared in front of the elevator door.
Her heart was in chaos. Emma stood alone on the empty top floor, not knowing what to do.
After waiting for a few minutes, Emma took the elevator down and returned to the office. Kevin knocked on her door.
Emma quickly tidied up her expression and asked him with a smile, “Director Kevin, is there anything?”
Kevin held a document in his hand and gently placed it in front of her desk. “Have you heard of Jimmy?”
Emma, who suddenly heard this name, looked up in shock. Her eyes fell on the document in his hand and she was very surprised. “Why did you mention him?”
She felt nervous for no reason. Was this also a mission given by Archie?
“It’s nothing. This person is very talented in dress design. He is currently working in the Miuccia International Studio. I was thinking that if we can get him to work with us, our cooperation with Miuccia will be reduced by half. This is a potential stock.” Kevin told her what he was thinking.
Emma was shocked. It turned out that this was Kevin’s own idea. She thought that Archie was behind it again.
“Director Kevin, listen to my advice. Don’t poach him. Otherwise, I’m afraid you will be in a difficult position.” Emma smiled awkwardly and advised him earnestly.
“Why?” Kevin was shocked.
Emma found it hard to say. She could not say it was because of her.
However, if she didn’t tell Kevin clearly, he would still want to poach her.
Last time, she promised Archie that she wouldn’t meet Jimmy again. If Kevin really poached her, she and Jimmy would become colleagues again. Archie would be angered to death.
“That… It has something to do with me. Jimmy is my friend. We grew up together as a childhood friend. Archie had some misunderstanding about him, so…” Emma forced a smile and explained, but still held back.
A sensitive man like Kevin naturally understood instantly and immediately smiled. “So that’s how it is. Then I won’t make this plan. Young mistress, thank you for reminding me. Otherwise, I would have touched President Archie’s taboo. I wouldn’t even know how I died.”
Emma was a little embarrassed as she said, “Don’t call me young mistress. Just call me by my name.”
“Then I will call you Emma. This name is quite special. The person who gave you the name must also be very attentive.” Kevin asked with a smile.
Emma nodded. “Grandma gave this name to me. It really has a very deep meaning.”
Kevin did not dare to ask any more questions. He took the information and turned around to leave.
It was Emma’s first day at work today. She was still familiarizing herself with the environment, so he did not arrange any tasks for her.
The day passed very quickly. In the evening, Emma received a call from Archie. He wanted to pick her up on the way home.
In the afternoon, Emma and Kevin took an hour off and went to a luxury shopping mall nearby. They picked up a shirt and a tie from a men’s clothing store and packed them back to the company.
When she went downstairs, she deliberately carried the shirt she had bought. When she saw Archie later, she would give the shirt to him face to face. She wanted to see if she could make him ignore the tie. So, she could secretly give it to Yoseph.
When she opened the car door, she found that James was driving. Archie was sitting in the backseat with a few documents in his hands. He was looking at them seriously. When he saw her come in, he slightly retracted his long legs and straightened his body.
“What are you holding in your hands?” He glanced at her and asked.
Emma quickly passed the box in her hand to him, “This is a gift from me to you. Thank you for giving me this job.”
Archie looked at it. His cold and hard face instantly softened. He reached out to take it, and his tone became more satisfied. “This is your token of appreciation. I must accept it.”
James, who was driving in front, also smiled. “Young mistress is really getting more and more interested in young master. No wonder young master has a smile on his face these few days.”
Archie stared at him coldly. “Don’t talk too much!”
James’s back turned cold, and he quickly shut his mouth. He did not dare to continue. He knew that young master cared about his face.
He had revealed young master’s feelings in front of young mistress, so it was no wonder that young master wanted to scold him.
Emma couldn’t help but look at Archie’s face. In fact, when Archie didn’t smile, he gave off a cold and distant feeling. The way he looked at people made people feel that they couldn’t fall into his eyes. It made them feel inferior.
In the past, Emma had a strong sense of inferiority because this man was too outstanding.
Now, when she heard James say that his coldness had decreased and that he was smiling, her mood inexplicably became better.
Archie’s thin lips were very beautiful, and when he smiled, he looked even more charming.
Emma secretly thought that if Archie could smile more, she believed that the number of girls who would take the initiative to pounce on him would be several times more.
Oh my god, look at her brain. What was she thinking?
“How’s work? Do you like that office?” Why did Archie only let her work now? He had spare time to renovate the office for her. He used the best materials in the world and also for her health. It was the stage where he was working hard to make her comfortable.
“I like it. My field of vision is wide, and it’s good to pluck the flowers. You also asked someone to place the flowers on the table, right?” What other requests could Emma have? Archie had almost fulfilled all of her fantasies about working.
“Yes, I will let them change every day. Flowers and beauties are the perfect matches.” Archie’s words did not hide the strong feelings he had for Emma. He even said words of praise as if it was a matter of course.
Emma’s skin was as thin as a piece of paper. When she was praised by him, her ears became hot.
The most awkward one was still James. When he heard the sweet words of the two of them, he really hated himself for quickly turning into air. He didn’t want to listen to anything that he shouldn’t have and be punished by young master.
“I will finish reading this document first!” Archie held Emma in his arms, but his eyes fell on the document in his hand.
“Yes!” Emma obediently and gently stuck to his chest and did not disturb him.
The familiar enchanting aura made Emma incomparably greedy. She narrowed her eyes and quietly stared blankly.
Suddenly, she saw that the tie on Archie’s neck had disappeared and that his shirt had two buttons on it. She was slightly stunned.
Where was the tie?
Emma wanted to ask, but she was afraid of disturbing Archie’s work, so she could only bear with it.
She wondered if Archie had lost it. Or had he left it in the office?
No matter what, she had to find a way to get that tie back and give it to Yoseph on Tasya’s behalf.
It was very quiet in the car. Emma closed her eyes and unknowingly fell asleep in Archie’s arms.
Actually, she only wanted to squint for a while, but she did not expect to fall into an uncontrollable sleep after squint.
Maybe she really was too tired last night and didn’t have enough sleep.
When they were almost at the manor of Grafton Family, a phone suddenly rang in the car. It was Archie’s phone.
Archie picked up the phone and looked at it. His expression immediately became serious.
“Nanny Herma?” Archie answered the call in a low voice.
“Young Master, your grandfather is sick. He wants you to take some time to visit him.” The person who called was the full-time nanny who took care of Old Master Grafton, Mrs. Herma. She also conveyed Old Master Grafton’s message.
