Emma wanted to see who was calling her, but Archie put both of her hands on top of her head and kissed her passionately.
Finally, the ringtone stopped.
Half an hour later, Emma got rid of Archie’s passionate entanglement and wore a gauze nightdress. She ran out of the living room and found her handbag.
She opened the call log and saw Tasya’s name.
She was slightly stunned!
He pulled it back.
“Tasya, I’m sorry, I didn’t hear your call just now. Is there anything you need from me?” Emma asked softly.
Tasya was drunk and self-deprecatingly laughed, “Emma, President Yoseph doesn’t seem to like me. What should I do?”
Emma was stunned and then looked in the direction of the bathroom and asked in a low voice, “Did something happen? Did you drink?”
“He said he likes girls who are like rabbits. Emma, do you think Yoseph will like girls like you?” Although Tasya was drunk, she felt really uncomfortable in her heart.
Emma’s heart tightened and she was incomparably flustered. Why did Tasya suddenly say such words?
Could it be that Yoseph had said something to her?
As if a huge secret had been exposed, Emma’s entire person became panicked and uneasy.
She avoided forcing a smile and replied: “How is this possible? How could he like me? You’re thinking too much, aren’t you? Tasya: Do you have someone to take care of you? You’re drinking so much, you have to be careful.”
Tasya laughed in pain, “I also feel that it is impossible for him to like you. You are already married to Archie, why would he like married women?”
“Tasya, do you need me to take care of you? I think you’re in a bad situation.” Emma could tell from her tone that she was really drunk.
“Okay, come. . . Come and drink with me!” Tasya was drunk.
“Then I’ll go over and hang up first.” Emma quickly hung up the phone. When she turned around, she saw Archie leaning against the door of the bedroom, who had just finished showering.
He was wearing a gray robe made of woven gold. His short hair had water droplets hanging on it, and it was slightly curled. Coupled with his handsome face, he looked wild and unruly.
Just like the Viscount of Darkness, the weak wall lamp in the bedroom made him look very invasive.
“Who did you say liked you just now?” Archie held a white towel in his hand and casually wiped his short hair. His voice was full of doubt.
Emma’s heart skipped a beat. It can’t be, right? Did Archie hear her call Tasya just now?
“No one. You might have misheard me. Tasya is drunk. I want to go and see her condition. I won’t be accompanying you tonight. You should rest early.” Emma said as she hurried to the bathroom.
When she walked to the man’s side, the man reached out and grabbed her arm. “You want me to stay alone in the empty room?”
“Didn’t you say you were going to pass? There’s no one around Tasya, so I’m afraid she’ll be in danger.” Emma was worried because something like this had happened in the past. After Tasya got drunk, she fell in the bathroom and knocked the back of her head open. She had sutured four stitches.
“I didn’t expect you to be so caring.” Even if the other party was a woman, Archie could not help but feel jealous.
Emma smiled bitterly. “I will go and see her. If she is fine, I will come back!”
“It is so late. How do you plan to go there?” Archie still held her arm and did not let go. He asked lazily.
“Call a taxi. She doesn’t live far. I will be there in about ten minutes.” Emma replied softly.
“Go take a shower. I will send you there.” It was already so late. How could he let her take a taxi alone?
“Okay!” Emma’s heart warmed. She quickly went to take a shower and changed into a set of clothes.
Archie had already changed his clothes and sat on the sofa, playing with the car keys in his hand.
Archie did not wear a suit. He was wearing a pure white T-shirt and a pair of vintage jeans. He looked young and had the style of a British aristocrat.
Emma was surprised to see him dressed so casually. She was stunned.
Archie was not a celebrity. It was a pity that he had such a good figure and a good leather face that was given to him by the heavens.
However, his current status was much more distinguished than those male celebrities who only relied on their looks to get to the top.
“Let’s go! Don’t we still need to take care of your friend?” Archie smiled faintly, stood up, and walked towards the door.
Emma recovered her senses, and her cheeks became warm. Heavens, she had become infatuated again.
When they reached Tasya’s residential area, Emma got off the car and entered the residential area. Archie’s car was parked by the side of the road and did not leave for the time being.
Emma knocked on the door and Tasya stood at the door with a pale face. She was still wearing that flirtatious long dress but the makeup on her face was like crying flowers. The pungent smell of alcohol made Emma frown.
“Emma. . .” Tasya cried out in grievance.
Emma quickly helped her to the sofa and sat down. Seeing the rubbish bin beside the table spitting out a lot of alcohol, her heart ached.
“Tasya, why are you torturing yourself like this? If you don’t like it, then don’t. Why do you have to make yourself so uncomfortable?” Emma softly muttered and quickly started to clean up the mess on the ground.
“You don’t understand. . . Emma, I want to be like you, living the life of an upper-class lady. I don’t want to work alone. It is too tiring. I want someone to love me, love me, and give me a rich life.” In front of Emma, Tasya had nothing to worry about.
Emma had heard these words several times. But this time, it was the most painful.
“Tasya, Yoseph might not be suitable for you. You can look at other men.” Emma turned around and brought her a cup of warm water. She gently guided her.
“No. . . Other men are either old or ugly to the point of making people want to throw up. What’s the use of having money? I don’t want to marry those old men.” Tasya had a look of disgust.
“Alright, then what do you plan to do now? Do you still want to put more effort into Yoseph?” Emma did not try to persuade her and just wanted to see what she was going to do next.
“I want to know which coquettish b*tch Yoseph likes.” Dense jealousy and hatred spewed out from Tasya’s eyes.
Emma who was at the side also trembled violently. She guiltily looked at her good friend’s resentful expression and her fingers turned cold.
“Emma, you must help me. You must help me find that woman. I want to know who I lost to.” Tasya suddenly grabbed Emma’s trembling fingers and pleaded, “You are working at Civada and Archie and Yoseph are working with you. You are my good sister, you will definitely help me find out.”
“Tasya, don’t be like this. Why do you have to know who Yoseph likes? This is meaningless.” Emma’s lip trembled and her face turned pale.
“No, I am just unwilling. What if I lose to someone who is inferior to me in every aspect? No matter if the other party is beautiful or ugly, I want to know.” Tasya borrowed the strength of the wine, her tone was fierce and heavy, and her beautiful face also became ferocious.
Emma felt a huge weight fall on her heart, and it was so heavy that she could not breathe. She understood Tasya’s strong personality the most.
At this moment, she felt that she should take the initiative to confess, but when the words were about to come out of her mouth, she could not say it out loud.
Tasya was her only friend, and they had experienced so much together. She could not let her use this kind of method to hurt her.
However, fate was playing tricks on her, and she was deeply worried.
“Tasya, have a cup of hot water to warm your stomach. Are you hungry? I’ll make you something to eat, okay?” Emma stood up and changed the topic.
“Bitch. . . Bitch. . .” Tasya had also scolded enough and was tired of crying. She collapsed on the sofa but her mouth was still scolding unwillingly.
Emma stood in the small kitchen and reached out to open the fridge. When she heard her scolding, her entire body was stiff and cold.
What should she do?
One day, when Tasya found out the truth, would she hate her?
Where was Archie? Would he be greatly disappointed in Yoseph?
What should she do?
A lot of questions were too much for her to handle.
She shook her head. Emma decided not to think about it anymore. No one could predict what would happen in the future.
Her phone suddenly rang. It was only then that Emma realized that she seemed to have forgotten to reply to Archie.
“Archie, you should go home first. Tasya is drunk and unconscious. I have to keep an eye on her.” Emma suppressed her voice and said.
“Take care of other colleagues. Don’t forget to take care of yourself.” Archie said a few words of concern in a low voice. He hung up the phone and drove back.
Emma made a bowl of noodles for Tasya, but Tasya did not eat a mouthful and directly fell asleep on the sofa.
Emma saw how she was torturing herself and could only shake her head and sigh. She supported her back to the bedroom and took off her shoes for her. She wiped her face and hands and covered her with the blanket.
At this moment, it was already late at night.
Emma sat blankly on the sofa and looked out the window at the gradually darkening night sky. Her heart was like thousands of ants crawling and in a mess.
Such a dangerous relationship would break out sooner or later. She waited helplessly for that day to come.
Friendship, love, what kind of challenge would she face?
Emma, why did she come to this step?
In a daze, she fell asleep on the sofa, her body covered by a thin blanket.
But at this moment, it was already the beginning of winter and Emma woke up in the morning due to the cold. She quickly went into the bedroom to check on Tasya’s condition.
Tasya used one hand to cover her face and slept soundly.
Emma let out a light breath and went to the bathroom to wash her face before coming out. She saw Tasya sitting on the bed absentmindedly as if she was woken up by her.
“Emma? Why are you at my house?” Tasya woke up and could not remember the madness last night. She rubbed her eyes and pressed her head, feeling the pain of hangover.
“You called me last night. I saw that you were drunk, so I came to find you.” Emma replied softly.
“Did I say something funny?” Tasya really could not remember anything as her brain felt heavy.
“No. No!” Emma was delighted. Didn’t Tasya remember what she said last night? That would be great.
Tasya propped up her aching body and walked to the bathroom. “Emma, Do you still have to go to work? Don’t worry about me. Go to work.”
“Are you alright?” Emma asked worriedly.
Tasya stared at her pale face in the mirror, “I am fine. Thank you for taking care of me yesterday.”
“Alright, then I’ll go to work!” Emma let out a sigh of relief.
