The evening shrouded this bustling metropolis, on the road, cars were weaving, and it was the peak hour of getting off work.
Archie drove a black sports car by himself, but at this moment, he was blocked in front of a traffic light.
There was a traffic accident in front of him. The road was blocked. He looked at his watch impatiently. It was past Emma’s time to get off work.
“Damn it!” The car in front of him did not move. Archie was so anxious that he was about to explode.
Finally, the traffic police lost the road and the car slowly moved forward. Archie had to step on the accelerator and take out his phone to call Emma.
Emma sat in the office and had waited for more than half an hour.
The evening sunlight fell on her face and that beautiful and quiet little face was covered with a faint sense of loss.
Why hasn’t Archie come yet? Didn’t we agree to have dinner together?
In the past, at this hour, he had already been waiting for her downstairs. Could it be that. . . There was an accident today?
Emma flipped her phone but did not want to take the initiative to call to ask. This was a matter of principle and self-esteem.
Although she was also anxious in her heart, she was also worried that she would be late if he suddenly encountered a situation.
Emma somewhat hated her own hesitant personality. Tasya used to scold her for not being able to make a decisive decision when encountering a situation. In the past, she kept refuting but now, it proved that she really had this kind of unlikeable character.
But. . .
Making her take the initiative. . .
The phone suddenly rang at this moment, giving her a fright.
She took out her phone and saw that it was Archie’s name. Her heart started beating wildly for some reason, and a trace of joy overflowed her small face.
“Hello!” She pretended to be calm as she spoke, suppressing the anticipation and anxiety in her heart.
“There’s an accident ahead. I’ve been stuck on the road for half an hour. Wait a moment, I’ll be right there.” The man’s tone was urgent.
After Emma heard his explanation, that uneasiness dissipated. She whispered to him, “Don’t worry. Drive slowly. Be careful.”
Archie listened to her soft concern. He hummed and hung up.
Those wild thoughts just now seemed to have been pacified at this moment. Emma secretly sighed. She really should get rid of this kind of bad habit and stop making trouble out of nothing.
Just like now, she was worried that Archie might have something with Luisa again. But in reality, he was blocking the road and was also very anxious.
Emma threw her phone into her bag and stood up, preparing to go to the hall to wait for Archie.
She had just exited the elevator and was about to walk out of the hall.
Suddenly, a tall figure took a few steps from behind and filled the space in front of her. It was Yoseph.
It was such a coincidence that she met him here. Could it be counted as a response to the saying, Enemies meet on a narrow road?
“Let’s go together!” Yoseph saw her go downstairs and thought that she was in a hurry to have dinner with Tasya. That was why she raised her eyebrows elegantly and said.
Emma looked at him in puzzlement and asked, “What do you mean by together?”
“Let’s go eat together! Why are you pretending to be stupid?” Yoseph’s handsome face was filled with displeasure.
This woman must be too careful of him right now. She would be unhappy even if they took a car to eat together?
Emma suddenly remembered the phone call Tasya made today. She said that she had asked Yoseph out for a meal. Could it be that she told Yoseph and also asked her out?
“Sorry, I’m not eating with Tasya today. Archie will come and pick me up later.” Emma quickly explained.
Yoseph’s handsome face turned ugly on the spot. “You rejected it because of me, right?”
“No, I made an appointment with Archie at noon. It really wasn’t because of you!” Emma forced a smile. She didn’t want to offend Yoseph. After all, he was her superior.
“Then why did Tasya say you would go with her?” Yoseph’s tone was filled with dissatisfaction, and he almost spat out fire.
Emma was stunned for a moment and replied, “Yes, Tasya did indeed call to invite me. But I already told her that I want to go out for dinner with Archie tonight.”
Yoseph’s handsome face was covered with a layer of frost. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked out of the door with his long legs. His cold aura was frightening.
Emma was stunned on the spot. She did not know why Yoseph was so angry. Could it be that she did not agree to go to eat and provoked him again?
At this moment, Archie’s sports car stopped at the door behind Yoseph’s car. He opened the door and saw Yoseph sitting in the car with a handsome face. The car instantly dashed out.
Archie frowned slightly. What happened to Yoseph?
Emma walked out of the door, confused. She saw Archie get out of the car and quickly walked up to him. “You are here!”
Archie reached out his hand and gently touched her hair. “Get in the car!”
This gentle touch on her head instantly made Emma’s inner feelings slip away quietly.
Archie opened the car door and sat inside. He started the engine and the car slid into the big road.
“I saw Yoseph’s ashen face just now. I don’t know if something happened to him.” As a good brother, Archie was still very concerned about his emotions.
Emma’s mind tensed up. Her beautiful eyes secretly glanced at Archie’s expression.
“Is that so? I also felt that he seemed to be angry just now.” Emma answered casually but her heart was in a panic, afraid that Archie would drag this matter onto her.
“I will call him tonight and talk to him!” Archie felt that it was necessary to care about this good brother.
Tasya came to the restaurant early in the morning. For Yoseph, she had invested a lot and booked the highest level seven-star restaurant in the city.
Only such a high grade restaurant was suitable for Yoseph’s identity, she naively thought.
Looking at the time, it was almost seven o’clock. Why hadn’t Yoseph come yet?
She drank a mouthful of wine absent-mindedly. Could it be that Yoseph had fulfilled his appointment again?
She thought of the incident where she had been bullied by him last time. Tasya only felt that her heart was very stuffy and very uncomfortable and lost.
Just as she drank three glasses of red wine in a row, another half an hour passed. Tasya’s heart was burning with anxiety. She always had a bad premonition that Yoseph would not come today.
“Why? Why are you playing with me like this?” Tasya stared at the wine in the glass and muttered sadly.
At this moment, Emma must be eating in an elegant restaurant with Archie. She must have a happy and satisfied smile on her face.
Comparing to her loneliness, Tasya suddenly felt some jealousy towards Emma.
Even if she was her good friend, she was still jealous of her.
Just as Tasya was about to pour another glass of wine, suddenly, a tall and handsome figure appeared in her eyes.
The man walked in front of her with a stern face, threw the car keys on the table, and sat down.
“President Yoseph. . . ” Tasya instantly woke up from the alcohol. She looked at the man sitting in front of her in a daze and joy. It was as if she saw hope. She felt wronged and excited and wanted to cry.
Yoseph glanced at her faintly. “You are not drunk, are you?”
“No, I’m not drunk!” Tasya quickly sat up straight, afraid that she would lose her composure. She tidied her long hair again. “I thought President Yoseph would not come.”
“Traffic congestion!” Yoseph did not want to tell her that he smoked for more than an hour in the car before coming up.
“Oh! Then let’s hurry up and order. What does President Yoseph like to eat?” Tasya quickly waved her hand and called the waiter over.
Yoseph was not in the mood to eat now. He wiped the corners of his sexy lips and threw out two words, “Anything!”
Tasya knew that he was perfunctory, but she was not angry at all. Instead, she carefully ordered five dishes.
The waiter took the menu and went down. Tasya quickly took a glass of wine and poured him a glass of red wine. “President Yoseph, I think you have something on your mind. Do you want to have a glass of wine first?”
Yoseph looked up and stared at her. “You can see that I am not happy?”
“Yes, with your current appearance, it seems like someone has made you unhappy.” Tasya smiled kindly.
Yoseph took the glass from her and drank it all in one go. He put the glass down and said self-deprecatingly, “You are right. Someone made me unhappy.”
Tasya was sensitive for a moment and deliberately joked, “Can you let me guess whether it is official business or private business?”
Yoseph’s eyes swept over her. He did not answer but seemed to have acquiesced.
Tasya immediately pretended to think seriously, “I guess it is a private matter. I don’t know if it is a man or a woman that makes President Yoseph so sad.”
“Since you like to guess, why don’t you guess again?” Yoseph smiled faintly.
Tasya’s face flashed a touch of surprise, but since she had already said it to this extent, she was also embarrassed to not guess.
“I guess. . . It’s a man!” Tasya deliberately guessed wrongly because she did not like to guess that it was a woman. That would make her crazily jealous.
Yoseph sneered. “Looks like your eyesight is not good.”
Tasya said self-deprecatingly, “It’s not that my eyesight is bad. It’s just that I don’t want to think about which woman you are hurting for.”
“I can see that you really like me.” Yoseph asked straightforwardly.
“President Yoseph, I have seen the most excellent and perfect man. Isn’t it normal for me to like you?” Tasya replied boldly.
“You are very bold!” The corner of Yoseph’s mouth curled up.
“Does that President Yoseph always like bold confessions like mine, or does he like to be gentle and reserved?” Tasya’s tone became intoxicated.
Yoseph looked at her. His tone paused for a moment. “I like women who are shy like little rabbits.”
Tasya was hit hard. She looked at the elegant man in front of her in surprise.
A woman as shy as a rabbit? Why did Emma’s face flash across her blank mind?
No, it was impossible. She must have gone crazy, right? Yoseph and Emma?
This was simply impossible.
“Then, is there still time for me to change myself?” Tasya borrowed the alcohol to get her courage up. Her eyes were filled with love as she looked at Yoseph.
“People’s bad habits are all the same. If you can’t get it, it will always be the best.” Yoseph missed her tender eyes and looked at the bustling night scene outside the window. He sneered at himself.
