When Yoseph heard her voice, which was obviously low, he raised his head slightly. He said faintly, “Emma, I am currently a little busy here and am unable to move my body away. If it’s convenient for you, I’ll let you come and pick you up.”
Emma frowned, “I will not go over. Since you have found someone to pick me up, I will directly give the box to him and let him return it to you.”
“What is it? What happened? Why do you sound unhappy?” There was some concern in Yoseph’s tone.
Emma’s eyes flashed slightly. After a while. She said anxiously, “You really guessed it right. There was indeed something wrong with my side. And it was because of your box.”
“Oh? Tell me about it?” Yoseph narrowed his eyes.
Did Archie find out about the necklace he gave him?
It seemed that his move was not in vain.
“I just met Archie, and I don’t know what happened. He suddenly found the box in my bag and insisted that you gave it to me. No matter how I explain it to him, it’s useless. He’s still angry with me. Yoseph, can you explain it clearly for me? You know. . . This is not a gift from you at all.” At this moment, Emma could only ask Yoseph for help.
Yoseph was silent for a moment and said, “If you want me to help you, you must promise me one thing.”
“What is it?” Emma opened her eyes wide in surprise. “As long as it is not too much, I will think about it.”
“Come to me immediately. This request is not worth mentioning.” Yoseph’s tone carried a smile.
This woman was always on guard against him. This situation was really not optimistic.
“This. . . ” Could Emma say that it was too much?
“You don’t want to come over? Are you afraid that Old Master Grafton will know? Don’t worry, I guarantee that he will not discover you. I just drank too much and wanted to go downstairs to have some tea. Didn’t you want to hear me explain to Archie? If you weren’t there, I wouldn’t have explained it for no reason.” Yoseph spoke very casually. It was as if he really wasn’t playing tricks on her.
Emma’s heart was in a mess. In fact, Yoseph’s words really did not contain any schemes or tricks. Furthermore, he even promised to help her explain.
“Emma, I am innocent. What are you afraid of?” While she was thinking, Yoseph’s voice was not soft nor heavy.
Emma was stunned. Yes, she did not even hold hands with Yoseph. What was there to be afraid of?
“Alright, I promise to come over!” In the end, Emma decided to go and see Yoseph.
“Send the address over. I will send a driver to pick you up. Don’t go out and take a taxi. I am worried.” After Yoseph finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Emma sent him the address of the hotel she stayed in. Yoseph’s eyes turned cold.
Whenever he thought about the time Archie spent with her in the hotel in the afternoon, there would always be some dazzling scenes flashing through his mind.
Although he should have accepted these facts long ago, no matter how Archie and Emma slept, no matter where they slept, he had to accept it, right?
However, the discomfort in his heart could not be ignored.
Twenty minutes later, Emma saw Yoseph’s driver’s car at the hotel’s entrance.
“Miss Emma, please get in the car!” The driver got out of the car and opened the door for her.
“Thank you!” Emma was embarrassed and thanked him.
The car drove all the way to the seven-star hotel.
Emma looked out the window and saw the bustling and unfamiliar night scene. Her heart suddenly felt desolate, as if she had lost her sense of belonging.
It was not wise to fall in love with someone.
In the past, when she was alone, although she had many worries, she did not feel so distressed and uncomfortable.
If she had known that falling in love with Archie would make her feel so sad, she would have stayed away from him and not fall in love with him.
Yoseph hung up the phone and his thin lips curved into a sinister smile.
He had just picked up a glass of wine and was drinking slowly. Ten minutes later, he saw Old Master Grafton and Madame Sandford walking towards the door.
Yoseph was slightly startled. He hurriedly walked over and greeted them with a smile. “Grandpa Grafton, Grandma Sandford, are you guys going back to rest?”
Old Master Grafton nodded. “That’s right. This banquet is the world of young people. It has been noisy for a day, and we are all tired of it. Yoseph, it is fun for you to stay here.”
Yoseph immediately sent them off gently. “Seniors, please take care. I will go and greet you tomorrow morning.”
Minlan also stopped in her tracks and said to Yoseph, “Young Master Yoseph, when you return to the country, come and play at home more often when you have time.”
“Auntie, don’t worry. I will definitely go!” Yoseph nodded at Minlan, not knowing. He kept feeling that Minlan seemed to like him very much to be able to marry Emma.
When Emma’s car arrived at the hotel, the driver quickly said to her, “My young master booked a place in the teahouse on the fourth floor and invited Miss Emma to come with me.”
Emma thanked him and got out of the car.
However, when Emma was about to walk in, she suddenly saw the elevator door open and a group of familiar figures appeared.
“Ah, not good!” Emma was so scared that she quickly hid in a round pillar by the side.
“Miss Emma!” The driver seemed to be very smart and immediately handed her a magazine.
Emma had to thank him and used the magazine as her face.
After a while, she saw Minlan and her grandmother get in the car and leave with Old Master Grafton. She secretly let out a sigh of relief.
That was close. She almost bumped into them.
Emma patted her chest and then followed the driver to the elevator.
When they arrived at the reserved room, Emma frowned and thought about it. She should call Archie down together with her.
Hence, Emma directly sent a text message to Archie.
She believed that Archie would definitely come.
When Yoseph found out that she had arrived at the private room, he also left the banquet hall in a hurry.
He opened the door to the private room and saw Emma already sitting there. There was a waiter making tea for her.
“Yoseph, you are here!” Emma hurriedly stood up and took out the box from her bag. “Here you are!”
Yoseph saw that the box was not picked up and frowned. “What is it? This box is like a hot potato to you now? Do you want to throw it away?”
Emma was stunned for a moment and laughed dryly. “It was not mine to begin with. I only took care of it for you.”
“You already know what is inside, right? Do you like it?” Yoseph asked in a low voice. His eyes were fixed on her.
“Yes, it’s a very expensive necklace.” Emma nodded.
“I asked if you like it!” Yoseph’s tone became even more downcast.
Emma looked up at him and felt the fanaticism in his eyes. She immediately shook her head. “I don’t like it. Take it back.”
Yoseph could only take the box back and mock, “Since you don’t like it, I’ll take it back first.”
Emma nodded.
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open by a force and Archie’s figure suddenly barged in.
“Archie?” Yoseph’s eyes stiffened slightly, then he looked at Emma.
Emma nodded. “I called him over. Yoseph, since the three of us are here, can you explain the box to us?”
Archie looked at Yoseph and Emma standing side by side. He frowned and immediately walked over domineeringly. He separated the two of them. One of his large palm held Emma’s shoulder.
The meaning of declaring sovereignty could not be any more obvious.
Emma looked at Archie, who suddenly walked over and hugged her. In the afternoon, his face was still cold. He had left her alone.
“Yoseph, there is no need to explain. I believe that you and Emma have nothing to do with each other.” Before Yoseph could say anything, Archie had already opened his mouth. His tone was very casual, as if he really did not suspect anything.
Emma was stunned again. Her beautiful big eyes blinked. What was Archie doing? He clearly did not listen to her explanation properly in the afternoon.
Yoseph’s face was a little stiff. Since he had already spread his feelings, he was not jealous when he saw the two of them hugging so intimately. He would be lying to himself if he did not feel jealous.
“Is that so? Since that’s the case, there’s no need for me to explain anymore.” Yoseph suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and replied faintly.
Emma was momentarily unable to understand the thoughts of the two men.
Actually, only Yoseph could understand Archie’s hidden intentions.
The general meaning was that he had seen through Yoseph’s little trick long ago, and Emma was the only one who was kept in the dark.
But at this moment, Emma was thinking of another matter.
Those were the two photos Yoseph sent her. Luisa was very soft and leaned on Archie’s shoulder, giving people the illusion that they were a couple.
Hence, Emma was a little angry as she pushed the large palm on Archie’s waist away and stood to the side a little.
“Since the misunderstanding has been explained clearly, I will take my leave first.”
“Where are you going?” Archie grabbed her back. “Who allowed you to leave?”
Emma had some resentment in her heart. She directly threw away his grip and her expression was indifferent. “Where I want to go, I don’t need anyone’s permission.”
Yoseph looked at the two of them making a fuss, but he felt a little happy in his heart.
Archie frowned again. What kind of temper was this little thing playing again?
“Stay with me tonight. You are not allowed to go anywhere.” Why would Archie let her go out alone?
“Forget it. Young Master Archie must be very busy today. I won’t disturb you anymore!” Emma even changed the way she addressed him. It could be seen that she was also quite angry.
Archie’s handsome face was gloomy once again. What he did next shocked everyone.
He directly carried Emma up and opened the door heavily to leave.
Emma was stunned. Yoseph’s face also had some resentment.
Was Archie playing hooligan in the open?
Emma’s face also turned red. Archie had gone too far.
