Jimmy was very happy. This was the first time Emma had gone against Archie and stood on his side.
It made him see a glimmer of hope. He knew that although Archie was overbearing and unreasonable, if Emma insisted on ending the conflict with him, Archie would not be able to stop her.
Emma also held back her anger before following Jimmy into his house.
Jimmy’s house did not have any changes from what he remembered. It was just that some of the furniture in the house had been replaced with new ones. There were also paintings on the wall, which made it look even more elegant.
“Jimmy, your family still hasn’t returned to the country to accompany you?” Emma sat on the sofa, took the cup of water from Jimmy, and asked him softly.
There was a touch of sadness on Jimmy’s face. “No, my parents have their own families.”
Emma could not help but look at him sympathetically and said jokingly, “You can find someone to live with you. It is quite lonely to live alone here.”
Jimmy trembled slightly and his gaze fell on her face with deep affection. He wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Emma stood up and walked to the second floor with the cup in her hand.
Jimmy silently followed her up. Emma stood at the railing of the second floor and looked down. Sure enough, she saw that Archie’s men were still outside the door.
Jimmy’s expression became somewhat ugly.
“Emma, did you fall in love with Archie again?” Jimmy asked sadly.
Emma’s back stiffened and she hid her expression unnaturally. “No. . . No.”
Jimmy was sensitive. He felt that the girl in front of him clearly cared about Archie.
“Don’t lie to me. No matter how many times you try to do it again, the one you love in your heart is always him. Am I right?” The pain in Jimmy’s voice lingered in his eyes. He heavily punched the railing. “I am still not as good as him.”
Emma was shocked. Maybe it was a wrong decision to follow Jimmy in.
“Jimmy, is it not good for us to only be friends?” Emma said in a low voice, full of apology.
Jimmy laughed at himself. “Of course I should be honored to be able to befriend the future Grafton young mistress.”
Emma’s heart started to ache. It was really heartbreaking to say such words to her good friend.
“Jimmy, no matter what, we grew up together. We know each other and respect each other. If you are still willing to make friends with me, I will be very grateful and happy. If you feel that we are no longer suitable to be friends, then it will be very regrettable.” Emma’s voice carried a slight sigh.
Jimmy knew that Emma was saying this seriously. He was stunned.
“Since you have said so, what else can I ask for? Emma, you are now the daughter of the vice president. You are no longer the poor girl who is living under someone else’s roof. Even if I want to earn more money to give you a better life, our identities. . . The difference has already appeared, I should know my own limitations.” Jimmy laughed bitterly at himself. He also felt emotional from the bottom of his heart.
“You know that I’m not that kind of person. When I make friends, I have never had any status.” Emma hurriedly clarified.
“Of course I know what kind of person you are. Emma, if you do not mind me being your friend, Then our friendship doesn’t change, okay?” Jimmy asked sadly, then continued, “At least let me know about you.”
Emma looked at him gratefully, and her eyes were filled with warmth.
“Yes, thank you, Jimmy!”
“You should leave now. I’m afraid you will stay for a while longer. Archie will find someone to beat me to death.” Jimmy laughed at himself and looked at the thick bodyguards walking back and forth downstairs.
Emma was stunned and did not say anything else. “Okay, then I will go first. If there is anything, I will contact you.”
“Okay!” Jimmy nodded at her.
Emma walked out of Jimmy’s house and towards her own car.
James saw her coming out. He quickly walked over and asked softly, “Miss Emma, young master is waiting for you at the company. Do you want to go to the company to find him?”
“Yes, I will go and find him now.” Emma answered and sat in her own car.
She started the car but suddenly thought of something. She stuck her head out and looked at James. “Where is Archie’s company?”
“I’ll lead the way!” James saw Emma agree to go see Archie and jumped into his car happily.
Emma drove the car and followed Archie’s two bodyguards’ cars from the front and back. This situation was quite good.
When they arrived at the Grafton’s Corporation’s building, Emma raised her head and looked at the tall building that reached into the clouds.
She suddenly remembered that she had asked a lot of questions. The building of Grafton Family was the landmark building of this city. Who didn’t know about it?
“Miss Emma, you’re back for work?”
A few beautiful girls at the front desk came over to greet her warmly and respectfully.
Emma was stunned and looked at James.
James smiled foolishly at him but did not reply.
Emma could only leave these questions behind and wait until she saw Archie to ask.
The elevator rose straight up. This was a direct elevator.
The elevator door opened. It was already at the top of the building. It was spacious, but it was also grand.
Emma followed James all the way to the CEO’s office.
The assistant outside the door ran over very eagerly, “Miss Emma, you are finally back.”
Emma still looked at her blankly. Could it be that everyone here knew her?
Was she working in the company before?
“Young master is inside. Miss Emma, please go in.” James pushed open the door for her and made an inviting gesture.
Emma stepped in.
The spacious office was well-lit, and the design was tough and domineering. It had a cold tone and gave people a sense of pressure.
Emma’s eyes fell on the man sitting on the office chair.
The man was wearing a dark grey suit and his tie was neat and tidy. He had a cold temperament and gave people a sense of authority without being angry.
Emma felt a little strange. Archie clearly had a young face, but he gave off a sense of dignity that no one dared to be presumptuous about.
“You’re back!” The moment she entered, the man put down the pen in his hand. His eyes were filled with warmth as he looked at her.
The thing that Emma could not accept the most was that his eyes were filled with deep affection. It was as deep as the night sky and it made people want to sink into it.
“En, I came to find you for something!” Thinking back to the argument just now, Emma’s small face tensed up for no reason, and her ears turned red.
She really had something to talk to him about and wanted to ask about the Quinsley Family.
Archie’s eyes tightened, and he lazily leaned against the back of the chair. His voice was low and deep. “Come to me!”
Emma panicked slightly and her small face became even redder.
“I will sit on the sofa and talk!” Emma seemed to deliberately go against his wishes. She did not know why, but she felt that this man was too overbearing. It made her instinctively want to dampen his edge.
“If you want to be on the sofa, it is more suitable to lie down and talk.” Archie’s thin lips suddenly curled up and he smiled wickedly.
