Yoseph had just received a call from a senior in the company. He didn’t even have breakfast. He grabbed the car keys and left.
Unfortunately, he was determined not to fly to Emma’s side, but he was damn stuck on the road for an hour and a half.
When he pushed the door open and barged into Emma’s office, he found that it was empty.
At that moment, the employees in the office looked at Yoseph as if they were looking at an alien. They looked at Yoseph anxiously.
What was going on?
Why did President Yoseph not care about his cold and aloof CEO image today? His hair was messy and his expression was anxious.
“Where’s Emma?” As soon as Yoseph came out, he happened to bump into Kevin. Yoseph grabbed Kevin’s shirt and pulled the thin and weak Kevin in front of him. He asked, “Where did she go?”
Kevin was so scared that his voice was trembling. “She. . . She just went downstairs not long ago. I saw that she was not in a good mood. I wanted to give her an umbrella, but she disappeared.”
After Yoseph heard his words, he let go of his hand, took the umbrella from him, and quickly ran out of the office.
“Oh my God, what happened to President Yoseph?”
“It doesn’t fit with his usual cold and aloof image.”
“What is his relationship with Emma? He seems to care about her a lot.”
“Could it be. . . The last time President Yoseph said that he had a different relationship with Emma? Is this true?”
Kevin recovered from the shock. Seeing his colleagues start to discuss, he immediately scolded, “All of you shut up and do your work quickly.”
Yoseph ran out of the hall and saw that the gloomy sky had started to rain.
However, after the peak hour of work, there were fewer cars and pedestrians on the road. Yoseph felt a cold wind blowing over him. The seasons changed between autumn and winter. The weather was very bad and there was a lot of rain.
Yoseph asked the security guard in front of the door and found out that Emma had run off to the left side of the road by herself just now.
After confirming that she had indeed run out by herself, Yoseph did not dare to hesitate for even a second. He directly took a step forward and chased after her.
In order to make his pace faster, he didn’t hold an umbrella. He just ran wildly in the rain without any image.
Yes, he was no longer that proud man.
As for those damned images, it was fine if he didn’t want them.
Yoseph ran far away in one breath until he couldn’t breathe and his legs became weak. He couldn’t help but put his hands on his knees and look for that familiar shadow in the misty rain.
No. . . Maybe she stopped a car and left.
Just when Yoseph was about to go back and drive to another place to look for someone.
He suddenly heard some sobbing sounds in his ears. The source of the sound came from the small park beside the road.
Yoseph’s heart jumped. He instinctively turned around and walked over.
After passing through an arched stone door, he saw a small body crouching in the corner of the park.
The drizzling rain fell on her long black hair, and she was buried in her knees. It was as if she was unaware of the cold.
Yoseph’s heart was greatly stirred. It was as if he had lost all his strength as he slowly walked towards her.
The umbrella in his hand was finally willing to open.
Emma cried for a long time until she felt that the coldness was not that bone-piercing cold. She raised her head blankly.
The rainwater that was still falling on her body was blocked by a large black umbrella.
She jumped in fright and trembled. She saw Yoseph’s condescending eyes.
The distance between them was too far. Yoseph had no choice but to squat down with his noble body. He supported the umbrella on top of her head, covering even more of the rain.
Even if he squatted down, he was still much taller than the petite her.
“You got scolded again?” His tone did not contain any ridicule, as if he was greeting his friends indifferently.
Emma bit her lower lip and used the back of her hand to wipe her tears. She nodded.
If there was anyone who could understand her current situation the best, She was afraid that it would only be this man in front of her.
There were a lot of things that even Archie didn’t know, but Yoseph did.
“I have told you that a weak girl like you is no match for the Grafton Family.” Yoseph sighed with a hint of blame.
Emma’s throat was hoarse from crying. Yoseph’s words made her unable to resist opening her mouth to speak. “Don’t tell me that if I don’t give it a try, I have to give up?”
Yoseph was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect this girl to have such a small body. And there’s more courage than the average guy.
Even though she knew the result, she still wanted to give it a try.
“Now do you know that the result won’t change at all? You should know how important Archie is to the Grafton Family. He is almost Old Master Grafton’s lifeblood.” Yoseph mocked.
Emma was speechless. Yes, she knew that there were some things that couldn’t be changed.
“Am I going to be separated from Archie like this? Why do the two people who love each other have to accept such a cruel fate?” Emma’s eyes were desolate, just like the rain at the beginning of winter.
Yoseph really wanted to hug such a fragile girl tightly in his arms, and he really did it.
When Emma was pulled into his arms, she still could not react.
Until the man’s chin was pressed against her shoulder tightly, the large palm was even more overbearing and did not let her break free.
“Yoseph, even you want to bully me at this time?” Emma could not break free and felt even more aggrieved.
Yoseph whispered into her ear, “Silly, how could I bear to bully you? This is to comfort you.”
“I don’t need you to comfort me with your arms. If you don’t sneer at me, it will be the greatest comfort to me.” Emma still could not get used to this man’s arms. Furthermore, she felt that this was a betrayal towards Archie.
Yoseph could only let go of her. Looking at her red and swollen eyes, he sighed, “I am no longer in the mood to mock you.”
Emma then looked at Yoseph seriously. There was indeed no sharp expression on his face that she did not like.
“Why did you come to find me? And how did you find this place?” Emma asked self-deprecatingly.
Yoseph reached out his hand and helped her straighten her long hair that was stuck to her face. He then pinched the water off her long hair dry.
His seemingly natural action caused Emma to be slightly stunned.
“I received a call saying that Old Master Grafton came to the company to find you. I knew that there was definitely no good thing. So I rushed over to take a look. I didn’t expect there to be a traffic jam on the road that blocked me up, so I came over now. As for why I found you, I had already given up. I only came here because he heard you crying.” After Yoseph finished explaining, He stretched out his hand towards her. “Let’s go. Even if you want to vent your sadness, This isn’t a good place either. Be careful not to catch a cold.”
Just as Yoseph spoke, Emma sneezed.
She did not dare to let him go like this anymore. Emma could only reach her hand to his palm and let him pull her up.
Because she squatted for too long, the moment she stood up, she felt dizzy and her legs were numb.
“Do you need me to carry you back?” Seeing her weak appearance, Yoseph asked.
Although he knew that she would definitely not agree.
Emma shook her head and said to avoid force, “No need. Did you drive here? Can you drive me home?”
“My car is at the company. Wait for me here!” Yoseph stuffed the umbrella into her hands, then turned around and left in the rain.
“Hey, hold the umbrella. I have a place to hide from the rain!” Emma chased after him for two steps, but the man had already run towards the company.
Emma looked at his back in shock. Only then did she remember that Yoseph was a little different.
Usually, he liked to comb his hair into a stylish hairstyle. He was meticulous and cold to the point that it was hard to get close to him.
However, just now, he had a head full of short hair that was messy. He no longer had the image that he cared about in the past.
In the past, she only felt that Yoseph was detestable. He always liked to threaten her.
But now, she realized that this man actually had a heart-warming side to him.
Emma sighed. If she did not know Archie, she might really choose to fall in love with Yoseph.
Unfortunately, being touched and love were two completely different things.
While she was in a daze, a grey sports car stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing Yoseph’s somewhat wild face.
“Stop daydreaming, get in the car!” Yoseph shouted at her.
Emma put away the umbrella and sat in the front passenger seat.
“I won’t take you home. Can I take you to another place? I still want to talk to you!” Yoseph turned his head to look at her and found that she was also wet.
Emma was stunned and said in surprise, “Where do you want to take me?”
“Don’t worry, I just want to change my clothes. The feeling of being wet is very uncomfortable!” Yoseph turned on the heater to the maximum, making their cold bodies warm up.
Emma was not in the mood to argue with him now. No matter where she went, her mood was gray.
“Yoseph, you are so good to me, and I can’t repay you. Don’t you think it is not worth it?” Emma smiled bitterly and asked him.
“It is not worth it to be with me. If we are destined to not be lovers, can we not even be friends?” Yoseph mocked himself. His tone could not hide his sadness.
“Of course we can be friends. Not everyone can be friends with a wealthy person like you.” Emma suddenly realized that this was the first time she was with Yoseph. She did not need to be on guard.
Yoseph smiled faintly and sped up.
Finally, the car stopped in an antique house. This was the last ancient city protected by the government in the center of the city. The people who lived here were either rich or expensive.
It was even to the extent that many rich people might not be able to buy the houses here. Some of the original residents were even tempted by the high price and gave up on the right to live here. They bought the houses to the rich.
Emma had only heard of this place before, but it was her first time here.
She was a little surprised. Could it be that Yoseph also had a property here?
The sports car passed through the narrow aisle and drove into a small courtyard.
“Get out of the car!” Yoseph was the first to open the door and get out.
