“Eva , if you insist, I …”
“If you can, you keep running, I will keep chasing anyway!” Eva Taylor shouted gamely, but in a cute way.
Joe Wright curled his lips and smiled, “I mean if you really don’t blame me, let’s get married after it’s over.”
“What did you just … say?” Teardrops rolled down from rounded eyes, sadness but stuck in the last second.
Joe Wright raised his hand and rubbed his fingertips against her soft cheek, taking away a wetness: “I may still have Emma in my heart, but she has become more like family to me, and I will still protect her with my life, but no longer have the desire to stay together. If you don’t mind, we can start over.”
Eva Taylor didn’t know whether to be happy or sad, and pretended to be annoyed: “Of course I would mind! How can I be silly and generous when the person I like has someone else living in his heart?”
But after a moment’s pause, as if afraid of Joe Wright backtracking, and then hurriedly explained: “The good thing is that I am understanding, can give you more time.”
Joe Wright picked her up and straightened her hair, which had been blown by the sea breeze. Looking at her miserable appearance after crying, he couldn’t help but laugh: “You’re crying all the time, and you’re crying dirty.
On the way back to the beach house, They finally chatted calmly and learned that Royal Awad had often said some bad things about the Wright Family people during this period of time. Joe Wright considered for a moment and reminded her not to tell Royal Awad about the reconciliation for the time being.
Eva Taylor is now in a sweet mood and agrees to whatever Joe Wright asks for, and after enjoying the facial service, she pesters Joe Wright for a drink to celebrate.
The Wright family rarely comes to live in this villa, but there is a lot of good wine in the cellar. Joe Wright saw her happy, and did not want to discourage her from drinking three glasses of wine, and readily opened a bottle of Master Wright’s favorite, and sat on the balcony to drink with her and talk about it.
As the sun rose into the sky, the room smelled like wine, and They drunken people collapsed on the bed, drawing a beautiful dream together …
Eva Taylor woke up in Joe Wright’s arms, too tired to lift her arms despite her good sleep, barely moving her shoulders, the arms around her waist immediately tightening.
“Awake?” Joe Wright spoke, his voice raspy with sleep.
She was so brave last night, but now she was inexplicably red in the face, and she gave a low muffled cry, trying subconsciously to escape.
“Where to?” Joe Wright came over and rubbed his jaw against the top of her hair, feeling intimate: “I was drunk yesterday, but I know what I did, Eva, I’ll take responsibility.”
That was enough.
The worries in her mind were cleared away, Eva Taylor closed her eyes, shrank back into his arms and went back to sleep.
It was dawn before They finally left for home.
Just as they entered the city, Eva Taylor suddenly stopped at the side of the road and asked Joe Wright to wait for her.
Joe Wright leaned on the passenger side, thinking she wanted to buy water and did not ask much, until the afterglow glanced at her into the supermarket next to the drugstore.
Suddenly realizing something, he hurriedly got out of the car and chased her inside, and saw her paying for birth control pills.
He pulled her out of the pharmacy and back into the car, and Joe Wright asked in a deep voice, “What are you doing buying that stuff?
Eva Taylor hung her head down, her cheeks a little red, as if she was still embarrassed by the scene: “I was afraid it would …”
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Joe Wright, of course, knew the reason why she bought the pill, but just couldn’t understand how she got that idea: “If you get pregnant, you’ll have it, I said I would be responsible, you don’t believe me?”
Eva Taylor shook her head: “I’m just afraid that you don’t want to have a baby, in case something happens, it will be troublesome instead.”
Her voice gradually lowered, Joe Wright is still exasperated, wrenching her shoulders so that she faces himself, serious: “I say again seriously, I will marry you and only you, and the mother of my child must be you, remember?”
“And …” hesitated for a moment, Eva Taylor looked at him with burning eyes, “What about that woman?”
Candy Hall, there was another woman carrying his child!
Like a punctured balloon, instantly wilted down, Joe Wright slightly chagrined licked his lower lip, “I will take care of it, you do not worry.”
He couldn’t tell Eva Taylor about the uncertainties yet, to avoid giving her unnecessary hope.
Joe Wright didn’t drive, Eva Taylor drove him to outside the old house, and then turned the car around and left without stopping for a moment.
He wanted to tell his family the good news about himself and Eva Taylor, but after a long search, he found that neither Master Wright nor Emma Rosy was there, and was about to ask the housekeeper, when Candy Hall brought a pot of soup to him first.
“Joe, you are finally home, why do you look so pale?” Candy Hall’s voice is gentle, her eyes are full of consideration, and the way she cares for him is really like a good wife and mother.
Without even looking at what she was holding, Joe Wright asked in a cold voice, “Where’s Grandpa and Emma?”
Candy Hall grimaced, but still smiled: “They never tell me where they go, probably to the hospital.”
“The hospital?”
“Yeah, Keira collapsed two days ago and is in the hospital, haven’t you heard?”
Joe Wright had been living in A City recently, he and Master Wright had talked on the phone several times, but Master Wright should not want him to worry, so did not mention this.
He immediately planned to go out, but Candy Hall reluctantly stopped him: “Separated for so many days, you do not miss me and the children? You just came back and want to leave, at least stay with us!”
Candy Hall was fine as a quiet decoration, but whenever she spoke, Joe Wright was sure to be filled with anger.
“Keira is sick and in the hospital, why don’t you help take care of it?
Secretly scolding Joe Wright, but not daring to show it, Candy Hall rubbed her belly, pretending to be aggrieved, “Emma doesn’t like me, even if I go, I’m still being guarded, so it’s better to give them less trouble.”
“Sophomoric!”
Joe Wright was too lazy to watch her act, disgusted to look away, but his steps toward the door retracted, considering Keira’s illness must be isolated bacteria, decided to go upstairs to change into a new set of clothes before visiting the hospital.
Shortly after he left, the maid entered the room to tidy up and was stopped by Candy Hall.
“All right, you go down and I’ll help him tidy up.”
“But …” the maid pursed her lips, looking very uneasy: “The young master doesn’t like people entering his room without permission, except for Miss Keira.”
Candy Hall squinted at her: “And you?”
“I am specialized in cleaning …”
“Cut the crap! I’m the most honorable owner of Wright Family now, so do as I say!”
After driving the maids away, Candy Hall planned to look through Joe Wright’s changed clothes to see if there was any evidence of his affair with Eva Taylor, but instead of finding evidence, she found a cell phone he had left in his pocket.
This thing, it seems to be useful.
Candy Hall hooked his lips a smile, opened the phone but was Joe Wright set the password difficult, a series of common password, all show errors, and finally was limited to enter a minute.
“Damn, passwords are so anti-human!” She punched the bed, cursing in annoyance, when a sentence suddenly flashed in her ear.
— The young master didn’t like people entering his room without permission, with the exception of Miss Keira.
Keira is the heart of Joe Wright, is …
Keira’s birthday was just last month, and Candy Hall managed to unlock the combination lock after only one attempt.
She flipped through his phone randomly as she selected one to call.
“Hello, can I help you?” Eva Taylor was slightly surprised to receive a call from Joe Wright.
Candy Hall grunted and said sarcastically, “You didn’t think it was me, did you Ms. Taylor, Joe’s asleep and beside me!”
Candy Hall’s lie was so cheap that Eva Taylor said “oh” indifferently and asked her if there was anything else.
Candy Hall simply stopped pretending and warned in a stern voice: “Joe is my husband, you’d better stay away from him and don’t destroy other people’s families like a vixen!”
Eva Taylor was stunned and scanned her phone in disbelief, thinking, “Are all the interlopers so thick-skinned nowadays?
She smiled back and responded, “Please don’t forget that I am still Joe’s fiancée, and you have no name and no share except a big belly.”
Candy Hall only screamed and swore, “I’m at least carrying a baby, how can you compete with me?”
Across the phone, Eva Taylor felt ridiculous and shook her head, “Even if the baby’s gender is unknown, even if it’s a boy, it’s not your turn to be its mother.”
Candy Hall froze, did not respond for a moment: “What do you mean by that …?”
A long sigh came from the receiver: “Have you heard of surrogate mothers? I don’t mind raising the child you have, just so I can avoid the dangers of childbirth and losing my figure.”
Surrogate? After she gave birth, she gave it to Eva Taylor to raise?
Candy Hall’s eyes widened as if she had received a heavy blow to the top of her head: “No way! You can’t have my baby, it’s mine and Joe’s!”
“By the way, Joe probably hasn’t told you that he couldn’t bear the pain of giving birth to me, so he was very supportive of my idea too!
“Nonsense! You’re dreaming!”
Candy Hall couldn’t stand it any longer and finally shouted, slamming the phone.
After the ear-splitting sound, a beep came from the other side, Eva Taylor pressed the phone to her chest, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
The reaction of Candy Hall just now, must be very angry, in case something really happened to the child, whether Joe Wright to pursue, she will not be able to live in her heart.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she was, so she called Emma Rosy and asked for her opinion.
When Emma Rosy heard about her perfect victory over Candy Hall, she gave her a thumbs up: “You did the right thing. You are the most qualified person to punish her and never have to be afraid or blame yourself.”
“Really? I’m relieved that even you said that.” Eva Taylor breathed a sigh of relief.
Emma Rosy teased her with a smile, then suddenly got serious: “There is something I think I should tell you. Marisa Darcyis out to haunt again, but the police never found her whereabouts, so you should be more careful too.”
Eva Taylor hurriedly responded, also reminded her to be careful everywhere, hesitated for a moment, and could not help but talk more: “You and Alex Brown, are you …”
Understanding Eva Taylor’s unfinished words, Emma Rosy lowered her eyes in embarrassment, swept her eyes over the people on the sofa, and said in a lighter voice, “No. He’s not well yet. and he’ll definitely need to go abroad for treatment later, not to mention that there’s … never mind, anyway, we’re not like what you think.”
Alex Brown actually has not escaped the disease, have the heart to comfort Emma Rosy, and feel that the idea is too ridiculous, and finally had to persuade: “Since you can not regain the old love, why not cherish the person in front of you, my brother has been waiting for you, you should be able to feel.”
Emma Rosy again glanced at the person across the table, casually perfunctory: “Well, you have time to take care of Joe more, so don’t worry about me.”
After hanging up the phone, the person on the couch turned her head and said, slightly puzzled, “Talking so happily, who is it?”
“Your sister!” Emma Rosy got up and walked over to her desk, picked up the coffee her secretary had just brought, took a sip and smiled, “She and Joe made up and are full of happy bubbles.”
Charles Taylor sighed, feeling helpless but not at all surprised.
Emma Rosy thought he was unhappy with the situation and rushed to Joe Wright’s defense, but he shook his head wearily: “How can I stop my silly sister from doing what she wants to do? They’ve been splitting up for so long, it would be a relief if they could really make it work.”
Emma Rosy nodded approvingly and then asked, “If not for Eva, then for the money?”
In the past two days, Keira was hospitalized, Emma Rosy was busy taking care of her daughter, and the project of cooperation between They families was handed over to Charles Taylor. Today Master Wright was in the hospital with Keira, so she took time to inspect the company.
Since the project started, Wright Family has been in an eventful period. Although she is the titular director, Charles Taylor is basically in charge of the project alone, so she apologized for seeing him in such a tired state and advised him to go home and rest.
“The Wright Group’s funding source has a hole in it, which is my responsibility, so I’ll take care of it.”
Emma Rosy spent the afternoon in her office reviewing the accounts, and after the first two rounds of reviews failed to reveal any problems, she continued to work overtime after the staff had finished their work.
It was not until late at night that she finally figured out where all the money had gone.
It turned out that some of the money allocated by the finance department to other partner companies had not received a receipt, and this information should have been recorded, but I don’t know which employee was so sloppy as to make such a mistake that no rookie would make.
After re-recording a few payments, she finally straightened up, opened her arms and stretched her back.
But at that moment, the office lights suddenly went out …
The Wright Group’s staff had already finished their work, and only the manager’s office on the top floor of the building was brightly lit, so when the lights went out, it was instantly dark.
Emma Rosy’s eyes had just adjusted to the darkness, but the next second, the lights suddenly came back on, bright and bright several times, just like the scene in a horror movie.
Could there be a problem with the circuit?
But the company sends a professional to check it every month, and this has never happened before.
After silently muttering a few words in her mind, Emma Rosy got up with her cell phone and was just about to go out to take a look when the light above her head disappeared again. As she was holding the edge of her desk and feeling around the room by moonlight –
Swish!
A white shadow flashed through the glass door.
Thinking she was blind, she blinked hard and looked up again when the white shadow flashed by again!
Her heart was beating so violently that her eardrums were trembling.
Forcing herself to calm down, her weak hands clenched into fists, she continued to walk towards the door with a stiff head.
Thankfully, most of the Wright Group building’s décor was made of glass, so she had the courage to step out of the office and the woman was inescapable.
The lights are back on, and she follows the direction the white dress disappeared in as Emma Rosy uncovers the culprit of Wright Group’s “late-night haunting” in the bathroom – the employee she fired months ago.
Knock, knock, knock …
She tapped her fingertips on the desk and listened to the HR director’s report, while she looked at the woman standing across from her with no expression.
“A very strong background, after being fired for so long, the HR department actually hasn’t taken your access card away.” Emma Rosy raised her jaw slightly.
“I know it’s wrong Miss. Richard …”
Emma Rosy didn’t have the patience to listen to her chatter, and questioned in a deep voice: “Sabotaging the circuit and pretending to be a ghost to scare people, is also a last resort?”
The female employee pursed her lips and buried her head even lower, finally unable to find an excuse to argue.
“I just want to scare you, absolutely no other ideas, for the sake of my old and young, you do not call the police, okay? Give a way to live!”
Emma Rosy had no intention of pushing people to the limit, and she knew in her heart that the main reason for what happened tonight was the company’s internal management.
Emma Rosy slightly tired pinch brow, plan to go back to discuss with Master Wright, as soon as possible to start an internal personnel investigation of the company.
The female employee was still crying and crying, she was a bit soft, so she eased her face and comforted in a warm voice: “Well, I will write a letter of recommendation for you on behalf of the company, I have read your resume before, this letter in hand, you should be able to find a new job soon.”
