Enchanted By His Charm

Chapter 248 248: I’ll Be Fine

Before Joseph could reply, Irish smiled at her and said, "Joseph, it seems that you have found a maid."

Joseph knew she was acting in a bratty but charming manner, so he smiled and said to Belle, "Don't worry. I'll be fine."

Belle had no choice and left first.

After going shopping for a long time, Joseph selected a restaurant for lunch. There were several bags beside them that contained some souvenirs.

But Irish felt that Joseph was distracted and couldn't figure out his thoughts. Irish understood that she shouldn't ask too much about his business, but thought the atmosphere was weird, so she tried to talk to him. But Joseph just listened to her but rarely responded.

Irish was a little bit upset.

The waiter served a green pepper dish to them, but Irish focused on Joseph and ate it directly without even looking at it. Soon a spurt of heat swept through her throat, and her stomach was burning.

The green pepper was very spicy.

Her nose went red, and she almost burst into tears. When Irish was trying to attract Joseph's attention with her pitiful look, she found that he just ate quietly and did not notice her at all. Perhaps he was worried about his business, so she gave up on trying to get attention.

"Honey, it tastes delicious, you should have a try."

Then Joseph came out of his meditation and asked her softly when he saw her offer him a piece of green pepper, "Do you like green pepper?"

"I don't like it. But it tastes delicious in this restaurant, so I think you will like it." Irish smiled an evil smile and put it into his mouth.

Joseph didn't think too much and took a bite of it directly.

Irish gazed at him quietly since she knew that Joseph couldn't eat anything spicy, so she waited to see if he burned his tongue.

However, he was so calm and ate it without any change in his expression, let alone burst into tears because of the unbearable spicy pepper.

"What do you think of it?" She asked him. "Don't you think it is spicy?"

Joseph replied, "It tastes good."

"Ah?" Irish was shocked and continued, "Does it really taste good to you?"

"Yes. It tastes good, and it's not too spicy."

Irish looked at him hesitantly and thought it was impossible because she had just tasted it, and even her stomach was burning. He looked so calm, and he didn't look like he was lying, so she was so curious and ate the rest of the pepper he had left. Soon she felt like a flame was burning her throat.

Joseph suddenly laughed and showed an evil smile to her. Irish knew he had fooled her and her face turned red. She glared at Joseph and pretended to roar at him, "Joseph, you lied without even blushing!"

Joseph laughed and replied to her. "It's you who told me that it's not spicy."

Irish felt speechless but replied to him, "But you also lied to me."

"I return blow for blow." Joseph reached out and rubbed her head as if he was punishing her.

"But I thought that you can't eat spicy food."

"In fact, my throat is also burning," Joseph began to drink water while Irish was finally amused by him.

There were still other people in the restaurant, and they were all attracted by the sweetness between them, but Joseph did not mind and kept smiling at Irish.

In this way, the weird atmosphere between them vanished. Irish was finally relieved and asked him, "Is that diamond really that significant to you?"

Of course, Joseph knew she wanted to ease the atmosphere and felt warmed by her consideration. Therefore, he reached out and said to her, "Come over here."

Then Irish took her plate and walked to sit beside him.

"Do you still remember the embroidery shop in Light Town?" Joseph said to her while eating.

Of course, she remembered, especially the flower tree in the yard. She remembered that it was him who took her there and the flowers were falling in the breeze. He looked so handsome that day when he was dealing with his business, and she would never forget it.

"Is the embroidery shop related to this diamond?"

Joseph was dealt with diamonds, so how could it have something related to embroidery?

Joseph nodded his head and replied, "The diamond in Tuell's hand is extremely valuable, and I planned to collect it. The culture of Chinese embroidery is broad and profound, so I wanted to combine traditional Chinese culture with the diamond in its design with its mosaic techniques so that our Runestone Group could become a pioneer in this area."

Irish knew that he was a smart man, and she also expected this from him, but when she heard this from him directly, she still felt excited. She looked at his face, and her affection for him was even more profound.

"Can't you use another alternative? She asked the question in her heart.

Joseph replied firmly, "There is no alternative, it must be that diamond."

Irish was surprised.

"Don't forget that we have mastered the latest cutting process of "Blue Flame," and if we combine this technology with the green-blue diamond, then it would be perfect."

After hearing this, Irish was suddenly enlightened. She had seen the cutting process of "Blue Flame" in the past. Before the invention of this cutting process, the cutting technique of the diamond using 71 cuts was a symbol of extravagance, and it was better than the hearts and arrows cut. But it was expensive because it was very difficult and time-consuming. But soon, it was defeated by "Blue Flame," and this new technique had improved the face of cuts from 71 to 89 so that the diamond would look even more dazzling. Therefore, if he used this high-end technique on the green-blue diamond, it would be priceless, and even more so if worked into the embroidery.

"But you can't get it, right?"

Joseph frowned and thought of something.

Irish was also lost in thought, and through her analysis, she thought that if he could get that diamond, then it would be like a tiger with wings. That diamond had aroused many people's interests, but no one could make use of it like Joseph. She believed that if he could get it, it would cause a tremendous sensation because the Runestone Group had mastered the cutting technique that other companies did not have.
