Chapter 1114 Being My Woman Is Much Easier Than Being A Warrior
"You don't want to say anything, do you?" said Joseph with a serious look.
"I was thinking about what someone once said. He said that if a man faces a young and beautiful girl for a few hours, hours fly past as fast as several minutes. However, when he meets with an old man, hours would feel as long as days," Waverly said.
Joseph furrowed his brow, "Are you comparing me to Bellamy?"
"When I was a child, they all said that you were smart, especially our grandfather. He liked you a lot, but I couldn't accept it. I didn't think you were smart. I just thought that you were pretending to be smart to get their love and attention. I thought that I had to prove that I was smarter than you, so I did better than you in exams and also polished all of my skills, but I was still stumped. They still loved you more than they loved me. That love was given to you not because of your strengths, but because it was you," Waverly recalled. She slowly leaned on his knee and looked up at him.
"I now think that you really are smart," Waverly said softly.
Joseph felt her change and asked, "What's the result of your comparison?"
"What happens in the future is more important," Waverly said ambiguously.
Joseph's eyes turned cold, "I don't like this answer."
"He's already more than forty years old while you're only in your twenties. Anything is possible," Waverly added.
"Have you finally been enlightened?" Joseph said meaningfully.
"I just had a Eureka moment," Waverly replied.
Joseph raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's eat first. After that, I'll take you to see something."
"Okay," Waverly stood up.
Joseph looked at her and asked, "Are you sure your feet are okay?"
Waverly nodded, "I'm sure."
They went out.
Joshua had already set up the basin and placed it in front of the couch.
"Let's eat first," Joseph said to Joshua.
"Then, d-do you still want to wash her feet?" Joshua asked while feeling a little frustrated.
"We'll do it after we finish eating." Joseph said directly.
Yadriel looked at Waverly and the two made eye contact. He quickly avoided her gaze, kept his head down and went out.
"Has Boris' dinner been arranged?" Waverly asked.
Joseph unhappily answered with his drooping eyes, "Are you that concerned about him?"
"He is my subordinate. I spent so much money on him, so of course I care about him."
"I have arranged his dinner. He is a smart person," Joseph said and picked up his mobile phone to play another game.
Waverly looked around, "Where is your girlfriend?"
Joseph's hands stopped moving.
If she had not asked him that, he would have completely forgotten that Susan was still in the wilderness.
Joshua had already made the necessary arrangements.
Joseph didn't want to look like he was biased, especially when it came to dealing with women. He said to Joshua, "Let Susan come back and have a good rest tonight."
"Yes," Joshua nodded and went out with his head bowed down.
Waverly ate a lot and finished all the food Joseph had prepared.
Joseph glanced at her once and then sneaked another glance at her again. He vaguely felt that she was a little different, "Are all women so fickle?"
"Only those who can adapt will survive." After eating, Waverly wiped her hands with a napkin, "When are we going back?"
"We're going back now. Yasmine is waiting for you to walk into her trap. I asked Ronaldo to send them a document about you visiting Mexiland for an interview. That way, there will be an excuse for your absence at work to come to Mexiland. However, Madam Lenny is skillful in that department. As such, I'm sure she will ask some questions related to your work," Said Joseph.
She knew that he would solve her problems.
"I've visited this country before and I've even interviewed them once. Their country is rich in minerals and they have at least ten types of the rarest materials in the world. We can come here to talk about cooperation regarding that. If we succeed, it will be worth it," Waverly said seriously.
"If you want to finish the negotiation before going back, you'll need to stay here for a few more days. I'll be heading back tomorrow," Joseph said while staring at her, sounding more tentative.
"It'd be good for us to go back separately," Waverly said and lowered her eyes.
"Ha," Joseph let out a soft chuckle as he looked at her with a serene expression.
Waverly was not certain about his thoughts at the moment, but that laugh of his carried a hint of sarcasm and she seemed to be able to understand him a little.
She took a deep breath and asked, "Do you want me to go back with you?"
He leaned against his chair, making him appear a little arrogant but lazy, "Being my woman is definitely much easier than being a warrior."
Waverly smiled, "If I become your woman after becoming a warrior, it'd be much easier for you."
Joseph held her chin and leaned closer to her. He narrowed his eyes and warned her, "You're too radical and too ambitious. That's not a good thing. Madam Lenny won't be able to tolerate you and I'm afraid that there are many other forces that won't accept you either. You've interfered in their affairs."
Waverly slapped his hand away and looked at him coldly. She said with arrogance, "All of that belongs to you. As your woman and your future empress, what's wrong with me doing that?"
Joseph liked her choice of words a lot.
He liked her arrogance, her confidence, her ego, her well-thought-out plans and also the aura she exuded that was just like his.
"Okay, I'll help you. Tomorrow morning, you will see the total number of transactions between us and Mexiland, the categories where we've worked together in and the total amount of money involved. We will start with silver," Joseph said.
"Silver? Isn't it less useful?" Waverly was worried.
"Silver ions or products with silver can kill or prevent diseases, viruses, algae and fungal creatures. They can be used to defend our bodies from diseases and can also be used in the medical industry and even for electrical cables. Most importantly, they can be used to make accessories and high-end equipment. The Mccarthy family can set up a family company and handle this business well. There will be no harm to this cooperation, only benefits," Joseph said confidently.
"Okay, I will do my best to negotiate with them."
"The director of the resource bureau is called Thomas. He loves wine, women and history. If we can't reach an agreement, we can prepare some special methods," Joseph reminded her.
"I don't want to hurt anyone."
Joseph put his hand on top of her head, "Silly girl, let me tell you this. Hypothetically, there's a bandit in the mountains. His life was in your hands, but you didn't want to hurt him. As a result, you let him go and he killed the entire village. Would you think that he's a good man or a villain?"
She had heard that story before.
"You can be kind to good people, but when you deal with bad people, there's no need for pity and mercy. At most, you can only take their innocent relatives into consideration. However, you must believe firmly that what you have done is the right thing. Otherwise, your own guilt will torture you into endless hell," Joseph said.
Waverly clenched her fists, "Did you also think that you were right when you forged my video?"
