Archie’s words made Emma subconsciously reach out and touch her cheek that was hit yesterday. After wiping the ointment, the swelling had already disappeared and it no longer hurt.
But for some reason, perhaps she was still feeling wronged in her heart. After Archie asked, she actually felt that her face was still burning.
“If someone bullies me, will you make the decision for me?” Emma asked jokingly. She looked at Archie’s perfect side profile. After hearing her words, her gentle lines instantly tensed up and became much colder.
“Of course. Whoever wants to bully you is slapping my face. How can I be lenient?” Archie replied in a serious manner.
His honesty was so obvious that it warmed Emma’s heart.
If she had told him about the matter of Helena beating her up yesterday, Archie would definitely make the decision for her.
However, Emma did not want to say it. After all, Helena and Yoseph were related. It would not be good for everyone if things got out of hand.
“Everyone knows that I am your wife. Who would dare to bully me?” Emma replied with a smile.
When Archie heard her say that she was his wife, his thin lips involuntarily moved upwards.
At least she was tactful and said something that he liked to hear.
The high-end car parked at the entrance of Civada’s restaurant and attracted everyone’s attention almost instantly.
Emma opened the car door and walked out, causing a wave of criticism.
When everyone knew that something had happened to her and Archie’s wedding, they all thought that she was going to lose her favours. But they did not expect to see Young Master Archie personally send her to the company today. Losing her favours was instantly shattered.
Archie extinguished his anger and also got out of the car.
Emma was stunned and said, “Where are you going?”
Archie played with the car keys and naturally put one of her little hands in his palm. “Go upstairs and talk to Yoseph about business.”
The warmth from the palm made Emma’s heart tremble. She could not help but raise the corner of her mouth.
Although Archie found an excuse to talk about official business, she still guessed his intention.
This man was sometimes cynical and cute.
“If you want to tell everyone that I am still doted on by you, then just send me to the elevator.” Emma leaned towards his shoulder and said in a suppressed voice.
Archie did not expect that this little thing was not stupid and even guessed his intention. He also turned his head and said in a low voice, “Why don’t I give you a hot kiss so that we can convince everyone.”
“Ah… Please don’t!” Emma did not dare to lean closer and immediately ran away.
Although she liked to hold hands with Archie, this was the company and the place where she came to work every day. If she showed off too much affection, it would be counterproductive.
“I’m just teasing you! I know you are thin-skinned, so I won’t make things difficult for you!” Seeing that she instantly hid far away, Archie laughed in a low voice.
Emma glared at him unhappily, “You are so boring!”
The two of them passed through the hall, holding hands as they walked side by side, and whispering to each other. When Archie smiled, it stunned everyone. They did not expect Archie, who was like a ten-thousand-year-old ice mountain, to be able to smile. Furthermore, his smile was so charming and beautiful.
Everyone looked at Emma in a new light. What kind of magic did she have that could make Young Master Archie happy for her?
In front of the elevator, Archie directly pulled her into the elevator at the side.
Once she entered the elevator, she avoided everyone’s gaze. Archie pushed her directly onto the elevator wall, and his thin lips immediately closed, not willing to let go of her small mouth.
“You’re really bad!” Emma was speechless at this man. He just said that he would not make things difficult for her. As soon as he entered the elevator, he kissed her from top to bottom and even kissed her passionately.
Archie took a step back in satisfaction. He put his hands in his pockets and smiled as if nothing had happened.
Emma quickly tidied her messy clothes, but her beautiful eyes were smiling. Although Archie’s behavior just now was not good, she did not dislike it at all. Sigh, she was really poisoned by him. There was no cure for it.
The elevator stopped at the top floor.
“Do you want to go in and have a seat?” Archie asked her.
Emma immediately waved her hand. “No, I’m going to be late for work!”
“Yes, I’ll come and pick you up after work!” Archie said behind her back.
Emma smiled happily. “Okay, then I will wait for you!”
This kind of daily conversation was like a sweet promise. Emma’s heart was like a flower blooming. She felt that the world had become beautiful.
Archie was about to turn around and walk to Yoseph’s office.
Suddenly, he heard a few women chatting in the assistant room outside the door.
“Did President Yoseph really beat Helena up for Emma yesterday? Why? Didn’t they always say that President Yoseph always stayed with Helena? Could it be that Emma’s position in President Yoseph’s heart is higher than Helena’s?”
“I don’t know, but Helena really needs to be taught a lesson. She is domineering in the company and has countless enemies. Someone should have stood up to teach her a lesson and let her know her worth.”
“I heard that Emma was the one who suffered. She was held up by Helena’s two assistants and was slapped by Helena a few times. I heard that both of her faces are swollen.”
“Helena must have seen Emma lose her favours at Young Master Archie’s place. That’s why she dared to hit her so arrogantly. Sigh, it was really pitiful. Fortunately, President Yoseph always knew what was good for him and knew how to protect Emma. Otherwise, I’m afraid she would have been beaten badly yesterday.”
“I heard that Emma is not bad and is very popular in the company. I think Helena must have provoked her first.”
The assistants inside chatted as they organized the work that they had to do for the whole day. No one noticed that Archie, who was standing outside the door, had an ugly expression on his face.
A raging flame was brewing in the depths of his dark eyes. His face was green and black, as terrifying as before a storm.
Emma was beaten up? Just now, he asked her but why she didn’t say it. What a fool. After being beaten up, she still dared to hide it from him.
“Young Master Archie…” Finally, an assistant noticed him and was so scared that his whole body trembled.
All the assistants turned pale and shivered.
“What you said just now, was it true? When did this happen?” Archie asked them with a cold voice.
“Just yesterday…”
Archie snorted and walked towards Yoseph’s office.
Without any notice, he pushed open the door and went in.
Yoseph was standing in front of the French window, deep in thought. Suddenly, he heard someone push open the door. When he turned around and saw Archie, his handsome face flashed.
“When did you come back? Weren’t you accompanying your grandfather?” Yoseph asked with a smile.
However, when he saw Archie’s murderous eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
“Yoseph, how can you let your woman bully Emma?” Archie felt that Yoseph had to at least take half of the responsibility for this matter.
Helena was pampered by him. Without him as a backer, how could she dare to be so unreasonable?
Yoseph had a bitter smile on his handsome face. “Archie, you must have misunderstood me. Helena and I…”
“Isn’t she your little lover? Although you have refused to admit it, you have taken care of her. I am well aware that in the past, I would turn a blind eye. It was because of you, but now she has hit my wife. How do you think we should settle this score?” Archie’s voice was filled with anger. He could not bear to hurt his wife, so how could he let others hurt her?
Yoseph said helplessly, “You really misunderstood. Helena is not my woman. I have already taught her a lesson about what happened yesterday.”
“Then why are you so protective of her? If you don’t give me a reason to convince her, I’ll kick her out of Civada today and make her lose her footing in the entertainment industry. No… She won’t even be able to step into the gateway of this country!” When Archie became cold, it would definitely make Yoseph’s heart jump.
“She is my sister…” At this point, Yoseph also hid it from him. He could no longer hold it in. This was the only reason he could pacify the furious Archie.
“What?! Your sister? Are you kidding me? Aren’t you the only child?” Archie felt that this reason did not make sense at all.
“My father had an illegitimate daughter!” Yoseph’s face turned cold when he wanted to expose his own family background.
Archie suddenly understood. He stared at Yoseph for a long time before he smiled. “I really didn’t expect uncle to mess around outside.”
“I didn’t think about it either, but she is indeed my father’s daughter.” Yoseph’s expression became even uglier.
Archie originally wanted to settle accounts with him in anger, but after seeing his sad face, half of his anger disappeared. “No matter who she is, she hit Emma. I will not let her go easily.”
“As long as you don’t chase her out of Civada, what do you want to do, I will not stop you!” Yoseph naturally felt his heart ache for yesterday’s incident. He even slapped Helena. This was the first time in his life that he had hit a woman. He should not have hit her, but he saw Emma’s cheeks were swollen. He was so angry that he actually hit her. He had memorized the etiquette and ethics that he had learned, but at that moment… Even if he lost control, he didn’t know why… For some reason, he started fighting.
Archie snorted. “Then I’ll keep her for a year and let her reflect on her mistakes.”
“I have no objections! But you have to do this, I have something I can use against her” Yoseph did not pity that blood-sucking bug at all.
“Of course, I have to do it myself!” After saying that, Archie turned around and walked out.
Yoseph looked at the door that was tightly shut by Archie. His heart felt like it had been hit by something. It hurt slightly!
Archie’s attitude of protecting Emma was much more justified than his.
Emma was drawing a picture. She did not know that there was someone at the moment who was making the decision for her to vent her anger.
Helena was anxiously waiting to sign the latest television series. That was the hottest IP novel in the day. If she was lucky enough to get the female lead role, it would definitely cause another wave of craze.
When she thought about how her position as the big shot was getting closer and closer, Helena beamed with joy. Her acting skills that she had cultivated for many years were finally going to be confirmed.
“Not good, not good. Helena, something big has happened!” Her manager and assistant hurriedly pushed the door open and entered, their faces pale.
Helena had never seen them so anxious before. She immediately stood up from the chair. “What happened?”
“All of your TV variety shows depend on endorsements. All of them stop and change corners!” The manager’s face was as white as snow, and his voice trembled as he spoke.
