Not long after the taxi drove out of the Grafton’s Corporation building, Emma’s phone suddenly rang. She didn’t even need to look to know who it was.
Emma still took out her phone to take a look. When she saw Archie’s name constantly flashing on the screen, she didn’t know if it was due to psychological effects, but she felt that his name had a domineering aura that couldn’t be ignored.
Emma bit her lips and answered the call.
Just as she put it close to her ear, there was a man’s angry roar from the other side, “Emma, I order you to come back immediately.”
Emma knew that because of the wrong gift of the tie, she had offended Archie. But didn’t he punish her just now?
That kind of wild and overbearing force that made her heart tremble had still shocked Emma to this day.
She had never known that a man’s physical strength would be so good. It was so good that it seemed as if it would crush her bones.
“Anyway, you’ve already eaten your noodles. I won’t go back.” Emma was also a little angry. She had already admitted her mistake. How could he still bully her like this?
“If you don’t come back, where are you going?” Archie narrowed his eyes and asked in an unfriendly tone.
“I’m going to help my friend give the tie to Yoseph. She asked me to do this. I promised her that I would do it.” Emma did not hide her destination.
“I do not allow you to see him alone!” When Archie heard her, he became even more furious and ordered her.
Emma froze. What did Archie mean by that?
Could it be that he was already suspecting that she had an unclear relationship with Yoseph?
“Don’t misunderstand. I’m just going to give him the tie. I won’t do anything else.” She didn’t know if it was because she felt guilty or not, but she couldn’t help but explain.
“Go back to the company directly. I’ll treat Yoseph to dinner at home tonight. When the time comes, you can return it to him.” Archie’s tone became a little calmer and did not have that kind of fury anymore.
“Really?” Emma did not want to go to Yoseph alone. She felt that the man was more dangerous than Archie. Every time they met, he liked to stick to her. She had lost to Yoseph.
“Okay. Go back to the company. Don’t run around. I will go and pick you up at night.” Archie responded indifferently.
“Alright then!” Emma was no longer able to control her temper from being coaxed by him, so she could only let the driver send her to Civada International.
When they reached Civada’s main door, Emma paid for the taxi, turned around, and walked into the hall.
Suddenly, someone called her by her name in a strange tone.
“Emma. . .”
Emma was slightly startled. She turned her head to look at the casual sofa beside her and saw Emily.
She wore a very sexy and noble dress today. She wore a short skirt that was tight around her waist and a fur coat. Her entire looked very different from when she was the young mistress of Quinsley Family. She had a lot of charm.
In comparison, Emma was wearing a conservative and dignified dress. She had messy long hair and her cheeks had a strange red lustre.
“What are you doing here?” Emily stood up and slowly walked in front of her. Relying on her height advantage, she arrogantly looked down at her and sneered.
Although her hatred towards Emma did not decrease, she was still a cousin who grew up together with her. When they met, it was impossible for them to pretend not to know each other.
“I came here to work. What are you doing here?” Emma sized her up with a strange look and asked.
Emily instantly felt that she was proud and sneered, “I am also here to talk about work. What? You plan to be a celebrity?”
Emma was indifferent. She said calmly, “Of course not. What I’m doing here is designing.”
“So that’s how it is, I’m waiting for the day when I’ll have you serve me” Emily flung her hair and had an insufferably arrogant expression.
A bald man not far away called her by her name. Emily tidied her fur coat and said, “I don’t have time to chat with you here.”
Emma knew that in Emily’s bones, she felt that her background was much more noble than hers, so she stepped on her everywhere and coldly looked at her.
She was already used to it. On account of the relationship between the two of them, she did not mind.
The man beside Emily was a little assistant in Civada. When he saw that she was standing and chatting with Emma just now, he immediately asked her with a surprised face, “Emily, do you know that girl?”
“Yes, she is my cousin!” Emily replied indifferently.
“Emily, you actually have such a relationship with her? Then you will become famous soon.” The bald man’s eyes immediately lit up and he smiled flatteringly.
Emily was confused by his smile and coldly snorted. “Is it very surprising?”
“Emily, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Right now, everyone in Civada knows that she is Mrs. Grafton. If you and her are really related, As long as you let her go to Archie’s ear to blow the wind, your path to the stars will definitely be bright and boundless.” The bald man was only a low-level assistant and had just arrived not too long ago. Naturally, he was not too clear about the conflicts between Emily and Emma during the wedding but most of the higher-ups in Civada. . . They had all seen it with their own eyes.
When Emily heard his words, she sneered even more, “I will not beg her. What is so great about her?”
“Although she is currently only a designer in the design department, her husband, Archie, is the boss behind the scenes of Civada International.”
“What? Didn’t they say that the boss in Civada International is Yoseph?” Emily was shocked. Obviously, she didn’t expect Archie to be Civada’s boss. However, when she was dating Archie, Archie didn’t let her know anything about his work.
“Master Yoseph is one of them. The other one is Archie. The higher ups have tacitly agreed to it.” The bald man looked like he was gossiping.
Emily suddenly clenched her hand tightly. Her fingertips had pierced into her flesh. That kind of resentment almost swallowed her rationality.
Earlier when she pretended to be noble in front of Emma, She was afraid that in Emma’s eyes, She was just a joke.
She was half the Lady Boss of Civada International. She was a newcomer to the entertainment industry, yet she was still hoping for her to serve him?
Her heart suddenly sank to the bottom. In front of the cruel reality, Emily had to admit that Emma’s current position was beyond her reach.
It was really too unfair. Emily felt pain and unwillingness.
She suddenly had an impulse to turn around and leave Civada but the elevator door opened and the bald man guided her with a smile, “Emily, Director William is in the meeting room with the investors. You should hurry over.”
In front of her was the starting point of her career and behind her was the road to escape the abyss of pain. Emily froze on the spot and was in a dilemma.
If she really decided to be an actress, she had to devote herself to Civada. Only then would she be able to become famous.
When she found out that Archie was the boss behind Civada, reality slapped her in the face twice.
The man she thought she could rely on, the man who had once brought her supreme glory and hope, had now transformed into her top BOSS. He even hugged her cousin, who she had stepped on every day, and openly walked in and out. Where should she put her face?
“Emily, why aren’t you leaving? Everyone is waiting for you to go to the meeting?” The bald man looked at her strangely and asked.
Emily seemed to be suddenly jolted awake and was in a trance.
“The opening ceremony will start the day after tomorrow. There are still a lot of meetings to be held today. Emily, I beg you. Quickly go in.” The bald man thought that Emily was playing big and wanted to make things difficult for him. He immediately showed a begging expression and rubbed his hands to beg her.
Emily gritted her teeth. Forget it. Since she was here, she could not give up so easily. In front of Archie, she had already lost all her face. At worst, the next time she met him, she would seduce him again and let Emma compensate for the pain of stealing his love.
Emily once again stepped on her face and self-esteem. She straightened her back and walked towards the meeting room.
When Emma returned to the office, her mood was unsettled. Fortunately, she did not have any important work at the moment. Otherwise, with her current condition, she might really mess up her work.
When she thought about how Archie would invite Yoseph to the Grafton Family for dinner tonight, her heart tightened as if it would break at any moment.
What should she do? Should she call Yoseph now to remind him not to speak nonsense at night?
However, would Yoseph take her words seriously?
Forget it, it was better to not humiliate himself anymore. If Yoseph really did not want to care about the brotherly relationship with Archie, no matter how much she begged him, Yoseph would say it out loud.
Kevin gathered his team for a meeting in the afternoon. The year-end celebration of Ciavada’s Four Directions needed to be prepared a batch of evening dresses. In the past, the big stars of Civada International would look for brands to customize, but this year’s dress. . . The higher ups of Civada required all of them to be designed by Civada Design Department. The workload was huge. Three months of time was also very tight. As the Design Director, Kevin naturally felt a lot of pressure.
Emma had allocated five pieces of the design. Therefore, from now on, she had official work to do.
When she returned to the office, Kevin knocked on the door and came in to find her.
“These five are all newly promoted celebrities in the company. They are all in their early twenties. Young mistress is also of this age, so it is most appropriate for you to design the wedding dress for them.” Kevin uploaded the pictures and information of the five little flowers on the computer, including their preferences.
Emma nodded and smiled. “Director Kevin, you have taken good care of me. Don’t worry, I will work hard and try my best to produce good works.”
“Young mistress, I believe that President Archie admires you. You definitely have the ability.” Kevin raised Emma’s weight very high, which made Emma’s face even hotter.
Kevin told her some ideas about the design, and it was time to get off work.
Emma listened to Kevin’s words and had a new understanding of the design. This was a happy occasion, but when she thought about Yoseph coming over at night, her happy mood instantly ran away.
