Clara complained about how ruthless Archie was and how he forced her. Helena listened and looked at her with sympathy.
“And that hateful Emma. When she saw me, she did not even greet me. She did not take me seriously at all. Do you think she is angry?” In a fit of anger, Clara also pulled Emma up and her eyes were full of disgust.
Helena originally had hatred towards Emma and when she heard Clara accuse her of crimes, naturally she also gritted her teeth. “Aunt Clara, Emma is indeed using her power to bully others. I have met her before. She relies on the fact that she is doted on by Archie and has no regard for others. She really hates it.”
“Sigh, forget it. Why are you talking about this? It is all because of Grafton young mistress? Ever since I married Ferdie, I have been in the Cold Palace. Old Master didn’t see me in the Palace, but Archie mocked me. I really regret getting married.” Aunt Clara had an aggrieved expression on her face.
“Aunt Clara, if I were Archie’s wife, I would definitely try my best to get closer to you. After all, we are family.” Helena’s eyes flashed with shrewdness, as if she had said it casually.
Clara was instantly stunned. A pair of similarly shrewd eyes flashed across Helena’s face. “Helena, do you like Archie?”
Helena immediately became shy. “I believe that all women want to marry him. Of course, I am not different.”
A complicated expression flashed across Clara’s face. Then, she joked, “If Emma is chased out of the Grafton Family, can you guarantee that you will attract Archie’s attention?”
Helena was waiting for this sentence from her. Immediately, she said with a face full of joy and confidence, “Aunt Clara, with my current status and position, marrying Archie shouldn’t be too bad, right?”
“Not bad, really not bad!” Clara smiled with satisfaction. Then she stood up and held Helena’s hand as if she saw a glimmer of hope. “Helena, if you can really help me enter the Grafton Family, I will treat you like my own daughter.”
“Aunt Clara, look at what you are saying. I have always regarded you as my godmother.” Helena also had a sincere look on her face.
Clara’s lips curled up and she quickly opened her handbag and took out the gift box from inside, “This is a gift that I specially gave you. Open it and see if you like it.”
Helena opened it happily and exclaimed. “What a beautiful bracelet. I really like it.”
“As long as you like it!” Clara’s eyes were bright as she stared at the cute and beautiful girl in front of her. She had a plan in her mind.
Emma stepped into the office and found that there was a bunch of fresh flowers on her table and an exquisite small gift box.
“This is. . .” Emma picked up the small note in surprise. It turned out that it was given to her by the two colleagues she helped yesterday.
“You are so polite!” Emma picked up the flower and smelled it. It was very fragrant. She opened the gift box and there was a box of charming chocolate inside.
Emma’s mouth could not help but raise up. It seemed that the help yesterday was not in vain. From now on, her image in the company was great and there were less gossips behind her. She could also work seriously.
Just as she was making the blueprint, she suddenly saw the day she put a blue pen around the table.
There were three days left. . . .
Her heart skipped a beat. There were only three days left. She was going to become Archie’s bride.
She fantasized about the moment she put on the wedding dress. Her heart was so sweet that it felt like honey was about to seep out.
Even the mood of the blueprint was much better now. She let go of her imagination, and the pen in her hand became more flexible.
After continuously drawing the design plans that she was not satisfied with for a few days, she actually completed all five works in one go today.
As expected, she was in a good mood. She had the motivation to do anything.
At noon, she had just come out of the company’s kitchen when she received a call from Archie.
She hid in an empty corner to answer the call.
“I heard from Uncle Suan that my grandfather wanted to talk to you. What did he talk about?” The man’s tone was low and he had a smile on his face. In this lazy afternoon, he was full of charm.
Emma’s heart slightly palpitated and she sighed powerlessly, “What else can we talk about? He only asked about my work and the child.”
When Archie heard her pitiful appearance, he could not help but smile in a very good mood.
“Archie, why are you still smiling? Do you know how guilty I am? Your grandfather cares about me so gently, but my stomach is empty. I really feel uneasy.” Emma withdrew her lovable look and complained about him.
Archie did not think it was a big deal and said, “What’s the hurry? Based on the frequency that I want you now, sooner or later you will get pregnant.”
Emma was choked by his words and immediately scolded him with a smile, “Can you be more serious? I am talking to you seriously.”
Archie liked to hear her coquettish tone. She was like a child who had been wronged. She seemed to be bitter and sweet, making him love her dearly.
“Don’t worry. After our wedding ends. . . I can take the initiative to confess everything to my grandfather. Even if he wants to scold me. . . And he will only scold me alone.” Archie claimed that he was his only grandson, so he had nothing to fear. Besides, he had also found out about his grandfather’s plan. When the matter was settled, his grandfather would only scold him. However, if there was still room for negotiation, his grandfather would not easily let the matter happen.
Emma saw his calm attitude and that uneasiness also disappeared a little.
“I can only think like this!” Emma lightly sighed and suddenly thought of another matter and quickly said, “Just now I met Clara in the company lobby.”
“She came to find you?” The lazy and amorous Archie just now, his tone was cold and carried a touch of ridicule.
“Yeah, I guess she probably wants to win me over. She said she wanted to give me a gift the moment she saw me, but I didn’t accept it!” Emma was also speechless.
Archie sneered. “This woman really doesn’t want to give up. Just ignore her and make her laugh like a clown.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t want to deal with people like her.” Emma consoled.
“Okay, I’ll hang up first. See you tonight!” Archie lowered his voice. He spoke the last three words, and his voice became even more hoarse.
Emma hummed and hung up the phone. Her small face blushed.
When she put the phone back into her handbag, she turned around and saw Yoseph standing a meter away from her with an indifferent expression.
Emma was shocked and immediately wanted to pretend that she did not see him. She secretly slipped away.
But how could Yoseph do as she wished? His tall figure flashed and blocked her way.
“Why did you go to the employee restaurant to eat? Didn’t Archie give you a small kitchen?” Yoseph looked down at her from above, his tone cold and indifferent.
Emma curled the corner of her lips. She said lightly, “I like to eat with my colleagues. Does President Yoseph have any objections?”
“Why don’t you just say that you are avoiding me?” Yoseph also ate alone in the dining room. Emma’s stove was next to his room. Other than the exquisite and elegant dining room, there was also a small space next to it. There was a deck chair with a massage inside, which made it convenient for Emma to take a short break when she was tired of work.
However, Emma only ate once before she went to the employee restaurant with Kevin and a few female colleagues to eat.
Emma’s heart was slightly panic, but her face was calm and at ease. She smiled and replied, “President Yoseph, you think too much. Eating alone, don’t you feel that it is too boring?”
Yoseph looked at her serious nonsense and snorted coldly. He stopped chatting with her and walked straight to his elevator with his long legs.
Emma secretly let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, Yoseph still had some principles and did not pester her outside the crowded restaurant.
Thinking about it carefully, Emma realized that Yoseph indeed had some considerations. He would only play hooligan when he was alone with her, but in front of outsiders, he would draw a clear line between them.
What did this mean? Yoseph actually cared about the brotherly relationship with Archie.
Thinking of this, Emma’s heart became even messier. She really did not know what Yoseph wanted to do.
After work, Emma sat in the office and waited for Archie to come and pick her up.
When she received Archie’s call downstairs, she picked up the beautiful flowers on the table and walked out the door.
There was no glass bottle in the office. She was going to take it home and raise it for a few days. After all, it was a gesture from her colleague.
However, she did not know that when she walked out with a bouquet of flowers, the handsome face of the man in the car immediately darkened.
Today, Archie personally drove over and took off his suit and jacket. He only wore a white, hand-made shirt with two buttons on his collar. Revealing a small piece of strong skin, his neat short hair went through a busy day of work. It was slightly messy, but it did not affect his noble temperament at all. On the contrary, it made his monstrous handsome face even more wild and unruly.
Emma directly opened the car door and sat inside.
“Who gave you flowers?” The man’s voice instantly turned cold.
Emma was stunned. She looked at him and softly replied, “My colleague!”
“Who is tired of living and dares to brazenly send flowers to you to express their love?” Archie was blinded by jealousy and only sneered with a dark face.
“The two female colleagues who I helped yesterday, Archie, you are not jealous, right?” Emma giggled and laughed out loud.
Archie’s handsome face stiffened. When he thought about his jealous look just now, he also felt that his handsome face had lost its luster.
“Next time, no matter if it’s a man or woman giving flowers, you are not allowed to accept them.” Archie wanted to save some face for his earlier loss of self-control.
Emma naturally had to take care of this man’s self-esteem. She just nodded like an obedient child. “Okay, then I will not randomly accept flowers from others in the future.”
Archie’s expression finally became better, but when he thought about how he was angered by this woman, he still felt suffocated. He could only stretch out the large palm and push Emma, who was unprepared, towards the driver’s seat.
“Ah. . .” Emma called softly, but in the next moment, her small head was grabbed by the large palm and her thin lips forcefully snatched her voice away.
With a bang, Emma’s head was empty, but the man’s thin lips did not let go of her at all. He sucked on her and punished her.
