Emma flipped open the four documents on the table. One of them was about the development journey of Grafton’s Corporation. All the major and minor problems and setbacks were recorded in detail.
Emma read all the way as if she was reading a story that made one’s blood boil.
She suddenly understood why Archie hated the word betrayal so much. He was so tolerant.
During the development of Grafton Family, they had encountered too many betrayals. Although Quinsley Family wasn’t the most detestable, Archie’s suppression on them wasn’t without reason.
Emma looked at each word carefully and committed them to memory. In the past, she loved Archie, but now, she wanted to understand him more thoroughly. She wanted to know everything he knew, and she wanted to grow up with him.
Just as she was entranced by what she saw, her phone rang.
A pleasant ringtone rang in the silent office, shaking people’s hearts.
Emma took a look. It was her grandmother who called her.
“Hello, grandma!” Her voice subconsciously became gentle.
“Emma, are you free tonight? Go home and have a meal. Grandma wants to see you.” Madame Sandford’s voice sounded like she could not catch her breath.
“Okay, I will come over tonight!” Emma’s heart tightened for no reason.
“Good child, then grandma will ask your mother to prepare a few more dishes!” Madame Sandford smiled and said.
“No need to trouble yourself. It’s fine as long as it’s normal. Don’t deliberately prepare it for me. I can’t eat much either.” Emma felt her grandmother’s full of love and only felt that her eyes were somewhat sour.
“Okay, you go ahead with your work. I’m hanging up.” After Madame Sandford said that, she hung up first.
Emma sighed lightly and held onto her phone with mixed emotions.
In the past, she felt that her grandmother in Quinsley Family was the best person in the world to her. Now, her fake grandmother replaced by her real grandmother and gave her loves. She was actually lucky and was not as tragic as she thought.
Archie’s meeting had ended long ago, but he did not return to his office. Instead, he brought James to the subsidiary company to investigate the situation of the production line. He did not even come back for lunch.
Emma could only go to the company’s canteen for lunch by herself. In order to take care of her, Archie specially instructed an assistant to accompany her.
“Miss Emma, you have a very good relationship with President Grafton, right?” The assistant asked with a smile.
Emma did not raise her head to look around. She also knew that she had become the center of attention.
“Are you alright?” Emma casually answered and drank the soup.
The assistant wanted to dig deeper into the gossip, but the indifferent smile on Emma’s face made her unable to open her mouth.
Just as Emma was about to finish her lunch, suddenly, an elegant and graceful beautiful woman sat in front of her.
“Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Anli, the deputy director of the Industrial Department. I heard that a new colleague came to the CEO’s office, so I specially came to greet you.” Behind Anli were a few similarly beautiful women. Each of them wore expensive clothes, and their makeup was exquisite. Furthermore, their eyes were full of drama. They were indeed good materials for doing business.
Emma looked up and politely looked at her and said, “Nice to meet you, Director Anli!”
“Miss Emma, I heard you are President Grafton’s girlfriend. It was really too surprising. As far as I know, President Grafton always keeps a distance from women. I did not expect that he would fall into your hands. I’m really curious. Do you have any special means to keep President Grafton’s heart in check?” Anli was obviously here to cause trouble. She bullied Emma because she was a newcomer and looked soft and weak. She was afraid that even if she bullied her, she would not dare to make a sound.
Furthermore, she spoke politely in front of so many people. Even if he wanted to find trouble with her, he wouldn’t be able to find it.
Emma’s beautiful eyes flashed slyly. The smile on the corner of her mouth was spreading. “Director Anli, are you really so curious as to why I can always be in love with Archie? Why? Do you have a purpose?”
Anli was stunned. The smile on her face was a little untenable: “A purpose? No, I’m just curious!”
“Curious about Archie’s private matters, you’re quite bold. As far as I know, there were a few women before. . . They were curious about what type of woman Archie liked and had personally tested it out. And then they were kicked out. Could it be. . . Do you want to jump into a few more companies?” Emma had a weak look just now, but now that she spoke, That calm and collected attitude made people look at her in a new light.
Anli’s body stiffened.
If others did not know what Emma meant by job-hopping, she knew very well herself. There was actually a reason why she had jumped into several companies in a row. Every time she jumped into a company, her position would rise. At the same time, she also took away most of the clients that she had raised. In the end, she had a firm foothold in Grafton Corporation, but the black material that she used to have. . . If it wasn’t for ordinary people, it would be very difficult to know.
Emma’s eyes did not avoid staring at her. The smile on her face was profound and unfathomable.
“Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I still have some matters to attend to. Let’s go first!” Anli was afraid that Emma would know more and would reveal her dark history, so she quickly retreated.
Emma put away the fake smiles on her face and continued to eat.
The assistant at the side immediately looked at her with admiration and softly said, “Miss Emma, you are really amazing. That female demon, in the company, there is no woman who can beat her.”
“To deal with this kind of person, we just need to find her weakness and step on it. The brighter it is, the more afraid it is of the darkness hidden in the dark.” Emma said thoughtfully. Actually, she was not omnipotent. Archie had also placed a detailed document on her desk regarding the various higher-ups of the company. It contained Anli’s resume of development. It was also very interesting.
The assistant obviously did not understand her profound words. But she knew that if she could get on Miss Emma’s good side, she would be able to gain a firm foothold in the Grafton’s Corporation.
“Miss Emma, I. . . Can I follow you in the future?” The assistant asked her nervously.
“Follow me?” Emma found it hard to understand.
The assistant secretly said. “Actually, although the company appears to be harmonious on the surface, many people are actually divided into their own small circles. Of course, these small circles will not affect the company’s development. It is just that. . . If the position is too low, it is very easy to be ostracized.”
“There’s such a thing?” Emma frowned slightly, but in fact, she also knew that this was an indisputable human nature.
In the past, when she was at Civada, she had seen this kind of unfair thing many times.
“En, I saw that you gave in to Anli just now. I feel that following you in the future will be safer.” The assistant stuck out her tongue.
Emma thought about it and saw that the assistant was also quick-witted. She nodded and said, “Okay, if you think that you did not pick the wrong person.”
“Definitely not!” The assistant instantly panicked.
Emma smiled lightly. “Let’s go back to the office!”
