Emma had become the undisputed protagonist of today’s dinner because she was President Archie’s ex-wife.
Although the word ‘ex-wife’ was not glorious no matter where it was, as Archie’s ex-wife, the weight was not to be trifled with.
Even if she was too angry and abandoned, she had at least been entangled with that noble and unparalleled man.
Many women sharpened their heads and removed their reservations. They might not even be able to get a proper look from Archie.
Emma looked at Wen wen. Although she was born with a natural beauty, she did not have a dazzling beauty. Such a woman. . . In fact, there were many more. However, she was the only one who allowed Archie to marry her. Even though it was only two months, it was not even three months of freshness.
More than ten minutes later, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Archie’s peerlessly handsome figure appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Most of the people in the room had only seen Archie from afar. It was a rare opportunity for them to observe this perfect man at such a close distance.
He had a tall and straight body, a handsome face that looked like a knife or an axe, and a pair of eyes as deep as the ocean. He had a polite smile on his face, and his thin lips were slightly raised. It was rare for people to feel that he had an affinity with Archie.
Seeing Archie who appeared like a god, all the females present could not help but look at Emma with envy and jealousy.
This kind of figure, even if it was only for one night, was enough to last for the rest of their life.
Many people only defined Archie as cold and mysterious.
But today, without a doubt, it made people think of another word: sexy!
Yes, when Archie casually unbuckled his suit and took off his coat elegantly and threw it to James, his actions were indescribably noble.
Emma blinked her beautiful eyes hard and also stared intently at Archie who had walked in.
When she had been together privately, although she had been attracted by his beauty many times, today, in front of so many colleagues, Emma’s fair little face still inexplicably warmed up.
As for where that heat came from, Only Emma herself knew.
Those scenes of her being loved by him, just thinking about it, would make one’s entire body go numb and their heart tremble.
Emma’s mind was filled with indescribable scenes. So, she quickly lowered her head guiltily and pretended to play with her phone.
She was really afraid that Archie would see through all of her thoughts. Then, she would really lose face.
“President Archie, please take a seat!” After a mere two seconds of silence, Kevin immediately invited Archie to the table passionately.
James suddenly said to a male employee sitting next to Emma, “Make room for President Archie. He wants to sit here.”
The male staff member moved aside without saying anything. Archie openly sat beside Emma.
A familiar scent lightly pounced over. Emma’s beautiful eyes quickly looked at Archie. Then, pretending to have just found him, she immediately said with an official expression, “President Archie, why would a big shot like you suddenly want to join our department’s gathering?”
This was simply illogical.
Archie looked at the business-like smile on her small face and was slightly startled. Very good, this woman’s acting skills had improved again.
If he directly said that he came for you, Emma would definitely blame him for not keeping a low profile.
In order to make her less distracted, Archie also very professionally answered, “As the boss of Civada, it is only right that I occasionally be considerate of my subordinates. Don’t stand on ceremony today. Order whatever you like to eat, as long as you are satisfied.”
“Wow, President Archie is awesome!” Immediately, two girls couldn’t help but clap their hands and shout in excitement.
When everyone heard that Archie wanted to treat them, they all became excited.
Archie’s answer was also watertight. Although everyone wanted to know how Archie felt about Emma, no one dared to ask.
Because Archie was there, everyone could not eat freely.
Emma saw that there were some extra dishes in her bowl out of nowhere. She stole a glance at Archie.
Sigh, it was not easy for her to prove that she had nothing to do with him, but why did this man keep getting food for her?
Wasn’t he clearly trying to tell others that there was no silver in this place?
However, Archie only picked some food for her. He didn’t say anything else that was sentimental.
However, under the table that no one else could see, one of her small hands was grabbed by a large palm. Sometimes it pinched her fingers, and sometimes it made circles on her palm. In any case, it was all to provoke her.
Emma’s entire body was covered in sweat.
“Are you very hot? Your forehead is covered in sweat!” Archie looked to the side and asked Emma in a plain tone.
Only then did everyone look at Emma.
Emma urgently wanted to find a tissue to wipe the sweat on her forehead. But. . .
There was no napkin in front of her. In a moment of desperation, she did not know what to do and knocked down the cup of fruit juice in front of her.
More than half of the fruit juice in the glass fell down the table and fell directly onto Archie’s thigh.
“Ah. . . Sorry, I didn’t mean to do that. Are you alright?” Emma was completely stunned. After she reacted, she immediately took a tissue from a colleague beside her. She did not have time to wipe the sweat on her forehead. She squatted between Archie’s legs and helped him wipe all kinds of things.
This style. . . Was a little indescribable.
If people who did not know saw Emma squatting between Archie’s legs, they would think that she was doing something bad.
The colleagues in the room all gasped. This Emma was too careless.
Archie obviously did not expect Emma to accidentally pour the juice into his thigh. His handsome face was a little stiff.
James quickly walked over and asked: “Young master, are you alright?”
“I’m fine!” Archie grabbed Emma, who was squatting between her legs, and lifted her up. “Stop wiping. You didn’t do it on purpose.”
Emma felt even more ashamed when he said it, but she also found it funny. Who asked Archie to embarrass her just now?
She was so hot that her head was covered in sweat. Wasn’t it because he kept playing with her little hands under the table that caused her entire body to heat up?
This man had done bad things himself, and he even came to make fun of her. Serves him right.
“Everyone, take your time to eat. I’ll be leaving first!” Archie didn’t have the mood to continue eating, so he picked it up and left.
James immediately followed him out.
The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat stiff. Everyone looked at Emma.
Emma said awkwardly: “I really did not do it on purpose!”
Kevin quickly tried to smooth things over. “I also feel that Emma did not do it on purpose. You see, even Young Master Archie is not angry.”
But Emma could not explain it clearly. They all said that pouring wine on a man’s leg was hinting at something.
Emma simply wanted to cry but had no tears.
Archie sat in the car and recalled the little thing squatting in front of him. His thin lips subconsciously moved upwards.
When he was with her, something interesting would always happen. It would make his life less dry and boring. He did not dare to imagine how painful it would be if he did not have her in his life.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to keep this little thing by his side and not allow her to leave.
After the dinner, Emma took Kevin’s car home because it was on the way.
However, just as she returned home, she was forcefully pressed against the wall by a domineering figure. “You came back in another man’s car?”
Emma was stunned for a second. She did not expect Archie to be in her house and not turn on the lights.
She eased her frightened mood and pushed him away. “I am not like a great young master like you who has a professional driver when traveling. I asked Director Kevin to send me along the way. Is there any crime?”
“Didn’t I send a driver over?”
“No way!” Emma looked surprised and then pouted. “No wonder Kevin said that there was a car following him from behind. Could it be the driver you sent?”
“Yes!” As Archie spoke, he turned on the light in the living room. Under the bright light, Emma found that he was only wearing a bathrobe. He had taken a shower.
“Quickly go and take a bath. You smells like hotpot!” Archie frowned.
Emma also knew that she was full of the smell of hotpot. She disliked it and obediently took her clothes to take a bath.
After taking a bath, her fatigue also dissipated a little. Emma looked at Archie who was standing on the balcony of the bedroom and her mind moved slightly.
“Where did you get that lamp that Director Kevin gave me today?” Emma walked over and gently reached out her hand to wrap around his waist.
“It was sold at an auction not long ago.” Archie replied in a low voice.
“Is it for me?” Emma asked in a daze.
“Of course. I originally planned to use it to please your grandmother. But I also felt that if I gave it to her, she definitely wouldn’t accept it. After all, that lamp was worth a lot of money. If you give it to her, she will accept it.”
“Then how should I tell Grandma about this!? I told her earlier that I’ve already cut ties with you.”
“You can say that I gave this lamp to you when we broke up. She definitely won’t suspect anything!” Archie turned around and hugged her petite body in his arms. He spoke in a hoarse voice. “You did that juice on purpose tonight, didn’t you?”
“I. . . I am not!” Emma was stunned and immediately answered seriously.
“But why do I feel like you are doing it on purpose? Are you hinting that I am coming over tonight?” Archie stuck to her ear even more wickedly, saying words that confused Emma’s mind.
Emma’s heart was about to melt. Her small face was already red and hot. She pretended to push him away, but she was hugged even tighter by him.
“Could it be that what I said is wrong? When you helped me wipe the juice, your hand. . . ”
“Archie, are you done yet?” Emma really felt that she could not take his enthusiasm anymore. She immediately glared at him and turned around to walk to the bedroom.
Archie followed right in.
That night, the wind and rain went wild, and happiness filled the room.
Early in the morning, the winter snow suddenly arrived. The streets were covered in a faint white color.
Emma woke up and touched her side, only to find that Archie had left again.
It was really too difficult for him. He had been tired for the whole night and woke up so early in the morning. Archie really suffered too much for her.
