Chapter 276


    The meeting dragged on for over an hour, and when it finally ended, ra returned to her office.


    She had thought she was in for a rough ride today, but it turned out smoother than she had expected.


    ra had nned to open herputer and organize Emmett’s schedule, but her mind was


    elsewhere as she sat in her chair.


    After some hesitation, she decided to head to the break room instead.


    Staring at Taylor’s number on her phone, she turned the device off and rubbed her temples.


    Just as she was stuck in her thoughts, a call from Emmett suddenly came through.


    ra stared at the name shing on the screen and hesitated momentarily before answering.


    “Hello?”


    “Where are you?” Emmett’s voice sounded a bit stern.


    ra paused before answering, “I’m in the break room making some coffee. What’s up?”


    “You’re in the break room?”


    “Yeah… where else would I be?” ra retorted, then realized the underlying meaning in Emmett’s


    words. She frowned, “You’re not having me watched, are you?”

    “No, I just needed a file from you, and you weren’t in your office, so I called.” Emmett’s tone had


    softened quite a bit, “Besides, even if I were keeping an eye on you, you do have quite several


    admirers; I have to stay on my toes,”


    ra sighed, “Come on… what file do you need? I’ll bring it to you right now.”


    “No need; I already sent Ricardo to fetch it. Just finish your coffee and get back to your office.”


    “All right…”


    “Should I get you an assistant to help you out with these things?”


    ra couldn’t help but retort, “Have you ever seen a secretary who needs an assistant? Isn’t that just


    asking for rumors?”


    “So what if they do? You’re my wife. And besides, you’re a designer as well. What’s wrong with having


    an assistant?”


    “Forget it, and I’m not used to having someone wait on me. It feels awkward. raughed, “Plus, I’m


    not so busy that I need someone to help me out. Let’s save thepany some money.”


    Emmett chuckled, “What’s this? Already looking out for your husband’s wallet?”


    – “Money should be spent wisely.”


    “I’m more worried seeing you exhausted.”


    ra was taken aback and never knew how to react to Emmett’s sudden sweet talking.


    “Okay, get back to work.”


    Just as Emmett was about to hang up, ra blurted out,


    “Wait!”


    “Yeah?”


    ra hesitated briefly before asking cautiously, “Where… where are you right now?”


    “I’m out dealing with some things.”


    “Who are you with?”


    Emmett suddenly went silent.


    As ra was about to ask again, Emmett cut her off, “No need to worry, just focus on your designs. I’ll


    be back once I’m done.”


    “Okay… just remember to eat lunch, don’t skip meals because you’re too busy.”


    “You’re worried about me?”


    “Of course!”


    Emmett chuckled, “I will definitely obey your orders.”


    “Emmett… ra rolled her eyes, “When did you be so smooth?”


    “Ricardo told me that women like to hear these things.”


    ra was speechless.


    That Ricardo… What apetent secretary! He could handle anything!


    “Do you like hearing these things?”


    Yes. ra couldn’t help but smile, “It just feels a bit off hearing these words from you.”


    “Well, I guess I’ll just have to say them more often then; it won’t feel off anymore!” Emmettughed


    softly, “I’lle find you once I’m done “All right then!”
