Enchanted By His Charm

From this point of view, Joseph's face also appeared to be dark and unclear.

Ruby came straight to the point, "Joseph, you are really fierce, and you can think of a method of persuading the Lakes to transfer their shares. Now you get what you want, and from tomorrow on, as soon as the contract is signed, you are the biggest shareholder of the Runestone Group, and your plot has finally succeeded."

Joseph's eyes were very calm, dark, and unknown. In fact, it seemed to look gloomy because of the rainy day. His face did not change at all, as if everything was in his control.

He did not speak immediately, but took the cigar case on the table, pulled out a cigar in his mouth, and lit it.

The blue and white tobacco lingered gently at his fingertips, thin as silk, enough to suffocate someone.

He gave a light puff of smoke. 

The smoke weakened his angular cheeks.

Ruby saw it and said coldly, "Joseph, am I right? All of this is your trick, isn't it?"

"I think you are going crazy." Joseph's tone was laced with displeasure, "Emery died, and your reasoning also disappeared?"

"Don't mention her! She wouldn't have been pointed out if you hadn't used my relationship with Emery to take my stake. Will she live all day in the abuse from others?" When Ruby heard the name, Emery, she was almost crazy again, and her tone increased.

Joseph's tone remained calm; however, it sounded indifferent, "The abuse from others? You pointed out other people. As far as I know, your mother brutally accused her. You dare not speak ill against your mother, so you vent fire on me. It would help if you forgot, in the beginning, you voluntarily transferred your shares to me, and you are willing to use your interests to protect yourself and Emery from others' judgments. To put it bluntly, we only have a business deal. You transferred the shares to me and took a lot of money from my hands, and I also made you and Emery live quietly. But then what? You didn't handle the relationship between Emery and your family. Will this account also be in my hand? Ruby, do not do what you do not want to do to others. At that time, Irish was right, the person who needs to introspect is you."

"Joseph!" Ruby shivered with anger. "You don't have to pretend to be a good person here! Now you're saying your actions are justified because you're about to get the Runestone, and your goal will be achieved! Don't think I'll be as gullible as anyone else. The old stockholder was right that day. You wish my father had died! In fact, you had deployed everything when my father was alive. Now you finally succeeded, right? I will expose you! Whatever you do, you're a liar! I want everyone to know that you are the insider who divulges trade secrets, and I will not let shareholders be kept in the dark!"

Joseph quietly smoked, silently listening to her accusation.

Another flash of lightning appeared in the sky.

Then there was thunder, and the world seemed to shake.

Just then, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, followed by a series of apologies. Joseph looked up. It was the guard.

"I'm sorry. I just saw the president leave, and when I walked around, I saw the light was still on, thinking someone had forgotten to turn off the light."

"Get out!" Ruby yelled with displeasure. 

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." The security guard hurried away in horror.

Joseph remained silent, soon, he finished smoking, then he pressed it out in the ashtray, saying, "You're done?"

Ruby stared at him angrily and closed her lips tightly.

Joseph got up, "If you just want to curse me, then you should scold yourself too. I do not have time to accompany you here to go crazy."

After that, he turned around and left.

But Ruby pulled him, and he was surprised at her strength. He did not notice that, and his body slanted. So, his hand suddenly supported itself on the conference table, where the edge of a metal hawk scratched his hand back.

Reflectively, Joseph frowned and yelled coldly, "Are you done?" and he pushed her away.

Ruby clenched her fist, stood a few steps away from him, and said in a cool tone, "Joseph, aren't you saying it's for the Runestone Group? If you're really up for the Runestone good, leave here! Don't think the Runestone Group will stop if you are gone! I warn you, if you do not leave the Runestone Group, I will not make you feel good!"

"Many people want to deal with me, so if you want to follow the trend, I'll always welcome you with open arms." After Joseph said that impatiently, he opened the conference room door and left.

"Joseph, you are a jerk!" Ruby stamped her feet with anger.

****

Walking on the corridor of the Runestone Group, Joseph's backhand was still bleeding, and the corners of the metal deeply cut that wound. The pain had long been gone. Yes, after too much pain, this little wound was nothing for him.

He pressed the elevator button only to find that the elevator to the upper level was not running. It seemed to malfunction.

He had to give up and walked into the stairwell. He walked on foot downstairs, intending to go to the lower area and to transfer to another elevator.

Downstairs, the rain almost poured out.

This time Irish must have driven the car out of the underground garage. Thinking of calling her, he saw a figure in the rain and fog vaguely. And then he saw the person. It was Irish.

She struggled with her umbrella and ran towards the building.

The rain splashed her shoes and even wet the corners of her skirt.

After seeing the situation, he felt warm. He did not say anything, and he strode into the rain. He came forward to support her wobbly umbrella so that she was not blown by the wind and staggered.

"Oh, you're just still waiting for me. Look at you. Your clothes are wet." Irish looked up at him, busy patting away the rain beads on him.

Joseph put his arm tightly on her waist and quickly guided her, "Go into the car first."

They ran in the rain and stepped on a bunch of water.

Finally, they entered the car. Irish took a tissue and said, "Your shirt is wet. I did come to pick you up. Why did you run into the rain?"

Letting her be busy with him, laughing, "I am afraid the wind will blow you away."

"I'm afraid you'll be eaten by Ruby." Irish pouted her lips, which was also why she could not sit in the car alone. She had listened to a few songs earlier, and originally in this kind of weather accompanied by music, it was so fun to wait for him. But she waited for a long time, and she didn't see him, so she began to be worried.
