Enchanted By His Charm

Joseph didn't say much and prepared to take a shower in the bathroom.

She embraced him from behind and then snickered, "I want to know more about Belle."

"If you want to know something about her experience, you can log into the official website of the Runestone Group. She is just my assistant." He expressed his last sentence clearly.

"Okay," Irish tended not to be exact in this kind of question. She looked at him from one side. "Then I can go sightseeing at Mandela Square. Although I haven't had a view of the natural scenery of South Africa, it'd be nice to get a feel for its capital."

"No." Joseph turned to hug her, "After taking a shower, I'm going to take you to the diamond mines of the Runestone Group and its recycling center. The only way for you to have a clear idea about the process of exploiting, picking, and recycling the diamonds is to see for yourself."

"No..."

"If you don't follow me, I will cancel our plan to go shopping," Joseph smiled and patted her cheek lightly, turning to the bathroom.

"Joseph, you're really a stick in the mud!" Irish shouted to his back. However, the door of the bathroom blocked her shouting.

Irish took out her casual wear angrily and cursed his inhumane decision-making silently. Just at this moment, the phone rang. She picked it up and felt happy at once. "Cassie, do you miss me?"

"I should not have called you since you left regardless of me, but I cherish our friendship. Even if you are cruel and sometimes stubborn, I'm still broad-minded and friendly. So I'm still concerned about your situation." Cassie said in a serious way.

Irish felt annoyed at Cassie for speaking so highly of herself. Nestled in the sofa and playing with Joseph's shirt sleeve, Irish just said, "I should be blamed, but I still want to remind you that it must be expensive for you to call me now."

"It doesn't matter. I just want to tell you something."

"What?"

Cassie remained mysterious, "You haven't paid attention to the news at home? Joseph has proposed to divorce Ruby, your sister."

"Ah?" Irish sat up suddenly, "When?"

"Recently. We do not know the exact situation, but this news has been spread widely."

Irish felt very surprised. Recently? At that time, he was with her. Maybe it was after they had met each other in China. She thought about when Joseph asked her to be with him. So it really was when he was in the ancient town, she thought.

But she didn't understand. If it was a fake marriage between Joseph and Ruby, why did Joseph still need to divorce her?

"So we all read Joseph wrong and thought that he was a good man. Irish, you are so lucky not to be with him. You know what? It's said that Ruby has found evidence of Joseph's marital infidelity, and Joseph was forced to make such a decision." Cassie sneered.

"Ah? Marital infidelity? Really?"

"Yes, he's having an affair with Britney. I admired Britney so much before, but I never expected her to ruin someone else's marriage."

It was no wonder that Cassie sounded angry, the first reaction of anyone who realized they'd admired the wrong man would be anger. It was human nature. Irish couldn't think straight. Cassie kept talking into her ear, "Hello? Can you hear me?"

"Ah." It was a long time before Irish spoke. "I'm listening, I just think that on this kind of thing, we can't follow what others think, right?" She had seen Joseph and Britney White together, and her enthusiasm still lingered in her head, but then Joseph found her on the Slate-paved Street. Then what was this about Britney? She didn't ask Joseph, and he did not mention her.

"What are you saying? Where the hell have you been traveling? Why do I feel like you are away from the entire world? Didn't you read the entertainment news? The media revealed that the investor behind Britney's movies was a well-known diamond businessman. The conditions listed indicate Joseph. Ruby avoided the media but advocated the divorce. The outside world was unclear on this matter. But we have determined inside the Runestone Group that she is the third person who tried to sabotage Joseph and Ruby's marriage."

"When were they together?" Irish felt a little sore while breathing.

​ "I don't know exactly when they were together, but I heard it was a long time. Every time Britney went out to shoot, Joseph went to visit her, pretending it was a business trip. Oh, yeah, I also heard that they are together now, Joseph has been on a business trip for a long time. It was said that she accompanied him, which made Ruby so angry that she would have to divorce him."

The corners of Irish's mouth twitched, "This time?"

"Yes," Cassie sighed. "Irish, you have to tell me clearly that you did not have a relationship with him, and you did not destroy their relationship."

Irish's face looked as if she had been slapped as if what she had done had been discovered, but fortunately, the question had been asked about a previous time. Clearing her throat, her tone sounded unnatural, "Don't put that on me."

"I'm a good friend of yours, I obviously believe you're innocent, I'm afraid the media will try to involve you again. You were misunderstood before, and it was a catastrophe."

"I thank you for your concern," Hearing that the bathroom was silent, Irish thought that he was about to come out, and she said, "Okay, I'm going to save your calling fee, goodbye."

Cassie wanted to ask her where she was, but Irish ended the call.

When she set aside the phone, Joseph walked out of the bathroom. His wet hair had not yet dried. Drops of water fell off his bare chest, and his collarbone and only a bath towel covered his waist. He went to the bar and poured himself a glass of red wine with his back towards Irish. The light reflected off the crystal glass onto his powerful body, making him look even sexier.

Irish was thinking of getting up, but the phone rang again. She picked it up to hear a voice message from Cassie. Her voice was sharp and miserable, "Irish, where the hell have you gone? Why is my calling fee so high?"
