Yoseph’s words stirred up a lot of people’s imaginations. Emma’s firm little heart could not help but beat wildly twice.
However, her rationality quickly suppressed that throbbing. Her brows furrowed and her small hand slapped away his large hand. “Yoseph, don’t be so emotional towards me anymore. It’s purely a waste of time. It’s really impossible between us.”
“Nothing is absolute. Of course, it also includes feelings.” Yoseph’s eyes became deep. He stared at her serious face and replied in an indifferent tone.
Emma started to panic. She suddenly remembered that Yoseph had mentioned Old Master Grafton’s birthday just now. Why didn’t Archie mention such an important thing to her? Even if she didn’t participate, he should at least let her know, right?
Could it be that there really was nothing absolute in this world?
No way. She loved Archie. This must be absolute.
Yoseph did not want to make things difficult for her because of this matter. He turned around, his back to her, and his fingers went to get the coffee on the table. He took two sips of the coffee and said, “Tomorrow morning at six o’clock, if you want to go overseas to relax, remember to contact me.”
“Yoseph, I won’t go out alone with you. I don’t want Archie to misunderstand me. Thank you for your invitation.” After Emma said those words in a hurry, she quickly turned around and left.
When he heard the door close, Yoseph turned his head and stared at the door deeply.
Tasya invited the doctor over and was afraid of pain, so she anesthetized and took off all the glass dregs.
Looking at the pieces of glass that were stained with blood, Tasya was so angry that her entire body trembled.
She gritted her teeth and cursed. “Emma, you are actually so ruthless to me. Don’t let me catch hold of your weakness. Otherwise, I will make you suffer a thousand times more than me.”
“Tasya, you can’t walk now. Do you need to find a wheelchair for you to sit in?”
“I’m not disabled. What wheelchair? What were you guys running for? Why did you leave me behind? Did I take money to raise you all so that you would leave me behind at the crucial moment? Get out. . . All of you get out of here, don’t bother me!” Tasya’s mood was extremely bad. After she covered her face and cursed, she broke down and cried.
The group of assistants all turned pale with fright. They lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.
Tasya cried for a long time. Finally, she cried enough and gradually calmed down.
Just now, Yoseph said that he still wanted to find her. It seemed that she could only ask Luisa to help him.
“Bring my phone over!” She ordered her assistant expressionlessly.
The assistant hurriedly handed her the phone. She snatched it and dialed Luisa’s number.
“Hello!” Luisa already knew that it was her number and her tone was extremely cold.
“Miss Luisa, President Yoseph came to find me just now. I might be going up to see him soon. We have agreed on something, do you still want to help me?”
Although Tasya’s tone was that of discussion, there was a hidden threat in it.
Luisa immediately became angry and ridiculed, “Tasya, what qualifications do you have to threaten me?”
“Miss Luisa, you misunderstood. I did not threaten you. I am just a person with little courage. If President Yoseph were to harshly interrogate me, I might really tell him some truth to save my life.” Tasya’s tone was still low and humble as if she was begging.
“Alright. I will call him right now. Don’t bother me anymore!” Luisa suddenly realized that Tasya’s scheming was deep enough. If she worked with someone like her, if she did not put in more effort, she would be at a disadvantage.
“Thank you Miss Luisa. I do not have any other requests. As long as you can let me continue to stay in Civada, it will be fine.” Tasya quickly repeated her request.
Luisa immediately hung up the phone and did not want to bother with her anymore.
Tasya sneered and threw the phone away, “Luisa, even if you are unwilling to help me, you still need to speak up for me. Why are you being so arrogant?”
At this moment, Yoseph finished drinking a cup of coffee and sat on the swivel chair. He began to deal with work matters.
The phone on the table suddenly rang.
His cold eyes swept over and saw that it was Luisa. A trace of impatience flashed across his handsome face.
Why did this woman come looking for him again?
Could it be that she had a new pursuit plan because of Old Master Grafton’s birthday tomorrow?
Yoseph did not pick up the first phone call. The second call. . .
“Luisa, why are you looking for me?” Yoseph’s tone was very impatient.
“Yoseph, what happened to you? Why are you suddenly so cold to me? Aren’t we friends?” Luisa immediately pretended to be pitiful. Her soft voice made people unable to get angry even if they wanted to.
“I’m working!” Yoseph frowned.
“I won’t disturb you for too long. I just have one thing to do. I hope you can help me!” Luisa suddenly said.
“What is it?”
Luisa said the words she had prepared, “Tasya is my friend. She just cried to me and said that she made a mistake yesterday and kept crying and begging me to help her beg for mercy. Yoseph, can you do it on my account. . . ”
“Your friend? Luisa, when did you become friends with Tasya? Are your requirements for choosing friends so low? I remember when Archie and I first started Civada, you looked down on Tasya.” Yoseph laughed sarcastically and mercilessly.
Luisa choked, but very quickly, she had a new reason to convince Yoseph. “Actually, Tasya and I cannot be considered friends. I just owe her a favor. So this time when she came to me, I had to return it to her.”
“Is that so? What kind of favor do you owe her? Also, do you know what mistake she committed? She was in such a hurry to plead for her life.” Yoseph’s voice immediately became cold, making people panic when they heard him.
“She said that Emma is allergic to jasmine pollen,” Luisa replied softly.
“It seems like she really treats you as her savior. She even showed you her trump card, but I don’t agree.” Yoseph’s voice was cold, without any room for negotiation.
Luisa did not expect Yoseph to be so iron-faced and ruthless. She immediately became anxious. “Yoseph, we have been friends for more than 20 years. Why didn’t you help me with such a small matter?”
“Small matter? Do you know what Emma means to me? She is the woman I like.” Yoseph coldly harrumphed.
Luisa’s lips curled up and she smiled. “Yoseph, you are finally willing to admit that you like Emma.”
Yoseph’s eyes slightly stiffened. He had always denied it, but he did not want Luisa to expose this matter to Archie. Now that he had played cards with Archie, there was nothing to be afraid of.
“That’s right, I admit it.” Yoseph snorted coldly.
Luisa immediately changed her tone as if she had found something. “Yoseph, do you know that my phone has a recording function? If I tell Archie what you just said. . . ”
“If you are so bored, just give it to him,” Yoseph said casually.
“Aren’t you afraid that Archie will know about this?” Luisa was shocked.
Yoseph sneered, “It’s better to fight for it than to steal it sneakily.”
“You didn’t let Archie know about this, did you? Yoseph, you have really impressed me.” After Luisa recovered from her shock, her nerves were even more shaken. This meant that Archie and Yoseph had clearly expressed their love for Emma?
Thinking of this, Luisa fiercely bit her lower lip. The lip that she bit even turned green.
“Luisa, from now on, don’t come looking for me again. I promised Archie that I would have a fair competition. I don’t want to play any dirty tricks anymore.” Yoseph said lazily, showing a look of interest.
Luisa’s expression became even more terrifying and frightening. She gritted her teeth angrily. “What is so good about Emma? Why do all of you chase after her like a flock of ducks?”
“I can’t tell what’s so good about her either, but being with her. . . I feel very relaxed, and. . . She’s really interesting.” Yoseph answered her question plainly.
“Both you and Archie were deceived by her appearance. Her pure feelings were all faked. Just wait and see. Perhaps her heart is even more sinister than mine, and she is even more scheming than me.” Luisa gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
Yoseph was slightly stunned, then the corner of his mouth curled up. “I didn’t say that I liked her because of her pure feelings. However, even if she was evil, had many thoughts, and was ruthless, I still like her.”
“Yoseph, are you trying to anger me to death?” Luisa was so angry that she stomped her feet.
“If there is nothing else, I will hang up!”
“Wait a minute. . . ” Luisa hurriedly stopped him and pleaded. “Yoseph, can you help me this time? Just take it as I owe you a favor.”
“We can discuss other things, but this matter is not negotiable. Even if I let her go, Archie won’t be able to get through it.” Yoseph’s decision was still ruthless.
Luisa’s expression stiffened. Does this mean that Tasya is dead this time?
If she did not help her get through this, Tasya would probably expose that she was a conspirator in front of Yoseph and Archie.
“Yoseph, if you don’t help me, I will tell your grandpa and your parents about your love for Emma.” Luisa shouted angrily.
“Luisa, don’t provoke me!” Yoseph was furious and warned her sternly.
“I didn’t want to mess with you. I just want you to agree with me. Yoseph, please be merciful and help me this time. Think about her. She saved my life. I owe her. I have to pay her back.” In order to cover up her crime, Luisa dared to say any kind of lie.
“She saved your life? This lie of yours is too unstandard.” Yoseph saw through it with a single glance.
“It’s true. There’s no need for me to lie to you. If I didn’t owe her such a big favor, why would I argue with you?” Luisa said with certainty. In any case, Yoseph was suspicious and could not find any evidence.
“I only promise not to chase her out of Civada!” Yoseph replied coldly.
“Alright, as long as you agree to help me, I will never say a word.” Luisa saw that Yoseph agreed and immediately smiled.
“What Archie wants to do is not something I can decide.” Yoseph then threw out another sentence.
Luisa panicked and wanted to say something, but Yoseph hung up the phone.
