The two women sitting on the ground were filled with hope. Their eyes widened a little as they looked at Emma with sparkling eyes.
Emma’s stunned little face gradually recovered her expression. However, the phone in her hand had already been hung up and she had an embarrassed look.
“Emma, did President Yoseph promise to let us go?” One of the women asked anxiously.
Emma could only put down her phone and said with a dry smile, “He is thinking about it. You guys go back to your seats first. I will ask about it later and give you an answer.”
“Emma, you must help me. I came all the way to the Imperial Capital to work alone. I have no relatives and no friends. This is the only job I have.” The woman who had anxiously asked just now was crying again. Her expression was quite pitiful.
Emma originally felt that her heart was very hard, but once it touched someone else’s tearful appearance, her heart softened.
“Don’t worry, President Yoseph just had something to do. I will plead on your behalf later.” Emma comforted them a few times before they left with teary eyes.
Emma’s entire body became agitated. Her beautiful eyes looked out of the office and then looked at the phone on the table. Her heart was in a mess.
What did Yoseph mean? What did he mean by she should think it through clearly first?
Other than being his subordinate, she only wanted Archie’s wife’s identity. Could it be that she also had a mysterious third level identity?
To be put in such a difficult position… She really wanted to just let it go. She could totally not help them.
But Emma felt bad in her heart. After all, they cried and begged her.
Finally, Emma’s small head finally thought of a good idea.
She took out her phone and called Archie. However, it was James who answered the call.
“President Archie is meeting a guest. Is young mistress in a hurry?” James asked with a smile.
Emma was stunned. She did not expect Archie would not be able to answer her call. “Nothing much. Let him be busy first.”
What a coincidence!
Ten minutes later, her phone on the table rang. It was Archie.
“James said you were looking for me?” The deep and magnetic male voice was always tempting.
Emma’s voice also became a little gentler for some reason. “Yes, I have something I want to ask you for help with, but I am afraid of troubling you.”
“Why are you bringing up trouble with me? Your matter is my matter, speak!” The man had a very amiable tone, as if he was going to mesmerize Emma to death.
The corner of Emma’s mouth involuntarily rose. “It’s like this. Just now, Yoseph went to the office to check. Two employees were fired on the spot, but I felt that the mistakes they made weren’t as serious as being fired. I was wondering if I could ask you to help me tell Yoseph. Ask him to only deduct the bonuses. Don’t fire them.”
“Why did you plead on their behalf? Are they male or female?” Archie was immediately jealous, and his tone was slightly displeased.
“Female!” Emma was stunned and then smiled bitterly, “They know my identity. They think that I am the only one who can help them, so they cried and begged me. My heart has always been soft…”
“Are you soft-hearted? But why do I feel that sometimes, your heart is not soft enough for me?” Archie faintly interrupted her.
Emma’s eyes were slightly stunned. “When did I become hard on you?”
“Last time I asked you to test the car and you broke the car. Is your heart not hard enough?” Archie began to settle old scores with her.
After mentioning this, Emma laughed unhappily. “You can’t blame me for this, right? Who asked you to secretly go and see Luisa? I am unhappy in my heart, so I don’t want to take your things. Who asked you to forcefully give it to me?”
“Alright, seeing that you care so much about me. I’ll help you this time. Come back tonight and reward me properly!” Archie said.
The ambiguous atmosphere, separated by the phone screen, could make Emma’s heart palpitate.
“I need to work, I’ll hang up first.” Emma said with a face full of embarrassment and hung up the phone. Her heart felt numb.
Rewarding him at night? What method did he use?
Emma did not dare to think too deeply, because when she thought about it, she did not feel very good.
A few minutes later, her phone rang again. Emma’s beautiful eyes glanced at it. When she saw Yoseph’s name, her heart panicked.
However, she still braced herself and answered the call.
“Emma, there is really someone like you. You actually dare to find Archie to plead for mercy.” Yoseph was gnashing his teeth on the other end of the phone. Obviously, he was quite angry.
Emma pretended to be stupid and pretended to be confused. She smiled and said, “President Yoseph, you asked me to think about it carefully. I have thought about it over and over again. I think it is most effective to ask Archie to tell you.”
“Don’t be proud of yourself. I always have a way to cure you!” This was the first time Yoseph was bullied by a woman like this.
Emma’s small face tensed up and her tone became serious. “Yoseph, you are playing with fire, do you know? You keep pestering me like this, what exactly do you want? Do you really think that I will take the initiative to divorce Archie and marry you?”
Yoseph was silent on the other end of the phone. He could hear her heavy breathing. In the end, the phone was cut off by him.
Emma’s face turned pale when she heard the confused voice. She felt that Yoseph was getting out of line.
Did he know that if this continued, sooner or later it would reach Archie’s ears? If Archie knew what she said, how disappointed and heartbroken would he be?
Emma’s heart ached when she thought about how Archie had said that he and Yoseph were brothers.
She really hoped that these things that hurt his heart would never be exposed. She still believed that there was a good brother that was worthy of her trust.
When it was almost time to get off work, Emma received an unfamiliar phone call.
“I am Luisa. If you don’t mind, can you come to the coffee shop on the third floor and have a seat?” The other party went straight to the point and introduced herself. His tone was even more generous than an official wife.
Emma’s tone was indifferent as she asked, “What do you want? I am working and can’t leave.”
“Are you not interested in hearing about Archie?” The corner of Luisa’s mouth rose.
Emma did not like her attitude, but when she heard Archie’s name, she felt a chill run down her spine.
“I will wait for you for ten minutes. If you really don’t want to hear it, I will leave.” After Luisa finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Emma held her phone and lightly exhaled a breath of resentment. Were all the current Sandford family so arrogant? She actually took the initiative to provoke her.
Why didn’t she dare to go down to see her? What was she hiding from?
Thinking of this, Emma carried her bag and walked towards the door.
When she passed by the office, she was lightly grabbed by a person’s arm. “Emma, about our matter, has there been any news from President Yoseph?”
Emma was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she was too agitated just now and had not told them the result.
“I believe that the President Yoseph will be lenient. You all can feel at ease.”
“Thank you, Emma!” The two women looked at her gratefully.
Emma laughed lightly, “We are both colleagues, so there is no need to be so polite. I will go down to do something first.”
The two women were still moved to tears. In this kind of cold and warm office environment, Emma, who was able to provide assistance in such a calm and relaxed manner, really gained a lot of favorable impression in an instant.
Emma took the elevator to the coffee shop on the third floor and saw Luisa wearing a pair of sunglasses. Her wavy long curly hair was amorous as she sat by the window. She was elegantly stirring the coffee beside her hand and looked very imposing.
Compared to Luisa’s beautiful and invasive charm and coldness, Emma was much more approachable. She was wearing a simple and elegant long dress, and her hair was only slightly curled at the end of her hair. Actually, Emma did not deliberately roll her hair, but the end of her hair would naturally be curled. This had always made her puzzled. Logically speaking, In the genes of Quinsley Family, there was no one with curly hair. In her mother’s photo, She also had long and straight black hair, but why was her hair always curled at the end?
She had always thought that perhaps her biological father would have curly hair genes.
Luisa only took off her sunglasses when she saw Emma walk over, revealing a pair of charming and noble phoenix eyes.
It was obvious that Luisa had come here specially dressed. Not only was she dressed in branded clothing from head to toe, even her beautiful face had been specially made up. Her entire person gave people a feeling of beauty and aggressiveness. If one was not confident enough, just a glance at her would cause one to feel inferior.
Actually, Emma already had this kind of feeling right now. However, she did not show it.
“What do you want to drink?” Just as Emma sat down, Luisa displayed her demeanor and elegance as a young lady of a noble family.
Emma shook her head. “No, I don’t want anything. Don’t you have something to say to me?”
Luisa leaned against the back of the chair. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at the girl in front of her.
Other than being younger than her, she could not be compared to her in any other way. Her figure, appearance, and temperament were all inferior to hers.
Luisa was really unwilling to lose to such a woman who was always inferior to her. It was as if she had been slapped twice. Her face was burning with pain.
Emma saw Luisa’s vigilant gaze staring at her. She frowned and said indifferently: “If you have nothing else to do, I will leave first.”
“Do you know how serious the consequences would be if Archie destroys the engagement with Sandford Family?” Luisa said in a cold voice the moment she was about to leave.
Emma’s body stiffened. She turned her head to look at her and said coldly: “I know. Archie has already told me.”
Luisa was shocked. “Then… If you really love Archie, you should think for him. After losing half of the Grafton Family’s property, will he still be the man you love? Maybe he will lose his fighting spirit. Maybe he would be depressed. His high-spirited life would be like being ruthlessly intercepted and attacked. It’s the pain of this lifetime.”
Emma’s two small hands suddenly clenched tightly. She had thought of such consequences in her mind before, but when Luisa said each word, she realized that the consequences were definitely more severe than what she thought.
“Why didn’t you bring this up with Archie? Maybe he thought more clearly than I did.” Emma’s voice had already dropped.
“Emma, your love is too selfish. Do you really want Archie to give up the entire Grafton Family for you?” Luisa’s tone became even sharper.
