Emma propped her chin up and sat beside Archie, watching him hook the bait and throw it into the lake.
James also sat by the side and threw the hook into the lake. Next, he waited for the fish to take the bait.
The process of waiting was a bit boring. Archie turned his head around and saw that the fish had taken the bait. He said to James: “Go and get a deck of cards. The three of us will play.”
James immediately stood up with a smile and ran to get a small round table and a deck of cards.
“Do you know how to play ‘Landlord’?” Archie asked Emma.
“A little bit!” Emma used to play with her friends in the dormitory, but she did not know how Archie played.
James smiled. “Young master, we are playing cards. Do you want to bet on something?”
Archie glanced at him. “We will be more interested in betting on something. Emma, what do you think we should bet on?”
“I used to play with my roommates. I only play with stickers and treat them to food. I don’t gamble with money!” Emma replied in a low voice.
James said with a bitter face. “If we are gambling, then I will lose everything I have. Young master, why don’t we play with the note or something.”
“Alright, then write a comment on each note.” Archie added some scenes to the game. He looked at Emma deeply, as if he was thinking about what she would write him.
James immediately agreed. “Okay, then do as young master says. I have a lot of compliments in my heart. I want to write them for young master to see.”
Emma was amused by James’s words.
After they talked about the rules, the three of them started to play cards. Emma was trembling with fear. She was afraid of losing.
James also looked serious, but he still lost the first round.
“Young master, you and young mistress won’t work together to make fun of me, right?” James’s face was full of misery.
Archie laughed. “How is that possible? I am the embodiment of justice. When have I ever mistreated you?”
When Emma heard this, she felt that Archie was too mischievous. What incarnation of justice? It was a shame that he had the face to say it out loud.
“Hurry up and write your comments and post them on it!” Archie had a smile on his handsome face as he handed the pen to Emma.
Emma tilted her head and thought for a while. She wrote a sentence on the paper.
Archie had already finished writing it and placed it on James’s forehead.
“Young master, what did you write?” James blew air with his mouth. He wanted to flip the note on his face over to take a look.
Emma had also finished writing. She curiously turned her head to look at the words written by Archie. When she saw the two words, she almost laughed out loud.
James saw that Emma actually laughed so heroically and quickly took it off to take a look. His entire person was in a bad mood.
He saw that the word virgin was written in a very strong handwriting.
“Young master. . .” He really shouldn’t play with him like this. He actually made his most private thing known to the public.
James, who never blushed, now blushed as if something was wrong. He stepped down.
Emma also didn’t expect Archie to be so bad. He directly labeled Archie like this and kept holding back his laughter.
Archie, on the other hand, had a playful smile on his face. “I’m reminding you. It’s time to find a girlfriend. Don’t only know how to work all day long.”
“If I really have a girlfriend, I won’t be able to wait 24 hours a day!” James explained, feeling wronged.
Archie said lightly: “Are you trying to tell me that this boss is too harsh on his subordinates? Don’t worry, I can find another person to take turns on duty for you. You’re not young anymore, only a few months younger than me. It’s time for you to have a girlfriend.”
“Alright then! I’ll think about it!” James was still very touched in his heart. As Archie’s boss, he was very considerate and humane.
Emma handed her note to James. When he saw the word ‘loyalty’ written on it, he immediately became grateful.
The second round, it was Archie who lost!
This situation was somewhat awkward.
Archie did not expect that he would lose in the second round. He thought that he would be able to last five rounds.
James wrote the word workaholic on the note without thinking.
He did not dare to say anything like Archie did. Miss Emma was next to him. He had to take Archie’s face into consideration.
This time, it was Emma who was funny.
She wanted to tease Archie, so the words she wrote after thinking hard made James instantly happy.
Archie’s handsome eyes swept across and saw the words ‘Mad Kiss Demon’ written on her beautiful handwriting.
His handsome face instantly stiffened. This woman was really bold, she dared to expose his true nature.
Emma laughed dryly and directly stuck to his handsome face.
“Emma. . .” Archie was gnashing his teeth. Such an unrealistic label, she actually dared to put it on him?
Emma shrugged her shoulders. She had an expression that said it was the truth. It made Archie want her to lose miserably.
He did not know if it was because Emma’s luck was good or for some other reason, but she actually won five rounds in a row.
At this moment, several tags had already been pasted on James’s face. Archie’s face was no different.
Only Emma’s two snow-white little faces were still very smooth.
“Miss Emma, you finally lost!” James smiled happily and pretended to wipe the cold sweat off his face.
Archie looked at Emma with deep eyes and teased her. He then picked up a blank piece of paper.
Emma covered her face and muttered, “Please show mercy! Show mercy!”
James smiled happily and said, “Don’t worry. In my eyes, Miss Emma’s image is very beautiful.”
Emma knew that James would definitely let her go. But Archie. . . It was hard to say.
Emma secretly glanced at the pen in Archie’s hand and saw that he was silent, as if he wanted to write something on it.
James had already written a virtuous and optimistic note on it, then he stuck it on Emma’s face.
Emma looked at him gratefully and stuck it to her forehead. Then, she blinked her big black eyes and looked at Archie.
Archie turned his back and wrote with the pen in his hand. He directly pressed it against Emma’s pure white forehead.
“What did you write?” Emma pulled it down and was stunned when she saw it.
A patient with severe procrastination in love?
What did these few words have to do with her?
James also looked at Archie with a strange expression. “Young master, I think Miss Emma did not delay.”
Archie, however, said in a calm manner. “She may not be very proactive.”
Emma covered her lips and secretly laughed. “Are you reminding me to take the initiative?”
Archie had an expression like this.
At this moment, not far away, Yoseph and Luisa finished their conversation and rowed to the island in the middle of the lake.
The two of them also took their fishing gear. From afar, they heard a burst of laughter and their expressions changed.
Sunlight passed through the shade of the tree and shone on the three people sitting in front of the stone table not far away.
From Yoseph’s angle, he could see Emma’s blushing face. There were two pieces of paper stuck to her forehead mischievously. That look was indescribably cute and interesting.
Luisa’s eyes widened and she looked at the small pieces of paper stuck on Archie’s handsome face in disbelief.
Was this still the high and mighty young master of the Grafton Family who was as cold as ice?
The two of them suddenly stopped in their tracks. That kind of warm and harmonious atmosphere made them instantly feel like they were unable to merge with each other.
Luisa, however, did not care about anything else and just walked over.
“Archie, what kind of game are you playing? It seems to be very fun!” Luisa asked with a smile.
Archie was indifferent. “Fight the Landlord!”
“Is that so? I don’t even know how to play. Can you teach me?” Luisa looked very interested. Then, she moved a chair and sat beside Archie to look at his cards.
This kind of ambiguous feeling immediately made Emma’s heart unhappy.
Luisa naturally did not miss Emma’s eyebrows that were pulled up and sneered in her heart. ‘Archie is not your husband. What right do you have to be jealous?’
At this moment, James suddenly cried out anxiously. “Young master, there is movement!”
Archie turned around and looked at his hook. As expected, it was shaking violently. He quickly walked over and pulled the fishing rod up.
He saw a big fat fish with a hook.
“Archie, you are so awesome. You have gained something so quickly.” Before Emma could cheer, Luisa had already stood up with a smile on her face and clapped her hands as she shouted.
Yoseph’s eyes stared at Emma’s small face and his heart was filled with anticipation. She was his engagement partner.
But, was this really possible?
Unless this was a daydream. Otherwise, he still felt that this wasn’t true.
Luisa, this woman, was the best at lying. Lies were as common as eating meals. If she only made him happy for a moment, then how disappointed would he be?
Archie lightly threw the fish into a bucket at the side and once again hooked the bait and threw it into the lake.
He turned around and suddenly said to James: “Give Miss Luisa a spot. Since she is interested, let her play two rounds.”
James did not know what young master meant. But since young master had instructed him, he quickly stood up and laughed dryly. “Miss Luisa, come and play!”
“But. . . I’m not very good at playing!” Luisa did not lie. She had no interest in card since she was young. However, she knew the rules.
“Let me teach you!” Suddenly, Yoseph’s voice was heard.
Luisa bit her lips. “Okay, then I’ll play a few words. What do the words on your faces mean?”
“It is to write out the impression of the other party in your heart. It should not be difficult!” Archie said with a smile. After he finished speaking, his eyes landed on Emma’s small face. That narrow and long phoenix eyes secretly gave her a look.
Emma immediately understood what he meant. Her big black eyes quickly replied with a hint.
Luisa was struggling with the cards in her hands and naturally did not notice that they were giving a look.
Yoseph did not put his mind on the cards. His mood was still affected by Luisa just now.
So naturally, in the first round, Luisa lost without any doubt!
Archie gave the blank piece of paper to Emma and pretended to remind her unintentionally, “Really?”
Emma secretly laughed in her heart. She had a lot of sincere words that she wanted to tell Luisa.
