Chapter 162: An Unexpected Surprise
Approaching 12 noon, Arthur finally saw Emilia again, skinny jeans, a white shirt over a pink short leather jacket, her hair tied into a braided diagonally on her left shoulder, and light makeup on the basis of natural beauty, but the expression on her pretty face did not show the joy of reunion after a long absence.
Arthur naturally knew that she was still eating for those scandals, smiled and opened his arms, hugged the somewhat angry Emilia firmly into his arms, and said softly: "Honey, you don't know how much I miss you." β
Emilia's personality is lively and cheerful, but there are subtleties under her big grinning personality. For Arthur's explanation on the phone, she is willing to choose to believe it, but in the face of overwhelming scandals, the opponent is still the kind of fierce Qi in the world, known as the ninth wonder, it is impossible to say that she is not worried.
Especially seeing Arthur's success day by day like a myth, the young and golden earl, and the proper golden beetle, she knows that it is no longer a period when Arthur is unknown and no one competes with her, and in the future, there will be more and more competitors and spoilers.
GILLY HAZEL IS THE FIRST, BUT DEFINITELY NOT THE LAST, AS THE NEWSPAPER SAID, ARTHUR HAS BECOME THE WORLD'S MOST EYE-CATCHING DIAMOND KING IN ONE NIGHT, AND HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF BOYS AND GIRLS ARE STUPID.
Emilia raised her face, looked at Arthur's face with her bright and deep eyes, made eye contact with him, and said softly with a somewhat resentful expression, "I thought about breaking up with you... β
"Ahem, don't be stupid, didn't I explain it to you, it's really just hype. Arthur said with a wry smile as she looked at Emilia.
"Listen to me first!" Emilia frowned slightly, the corners of her eyebrows rose slightly, and Arthur looked at him helplessly and continued: "This is not only because of this scandal, but more importantly, the two of us were not prepared at the beginning, your changes and achievements are getting bigger and bigger, and I also know that this kind of thing will be more and more, and there will even be many competitors."
Unless I give up my attachment to the dream of being an actor and concentrate on managing the relationship between us, we are both busy with our careers and working hard, gathering less and leaving more, and this relationship will not last long before it will come to an end.
I don't want to give up my dreams, and I don't have the confidence to keep our relationship going, in fact, I have the idea of breaking up, not all because of scandals, the main thing is that you succeeded too quickly, too dazzling, I don't have confidence in myself, I'm afraid of losing you in the end, I'm worried about the constant competitors, and I'll get myself tangled and miserable, so I think we'd better give each other a while, think clearly, okay?"
Arthur looked at Emilia with tears in his eyes slightly moved, the bear mouth had an indescribable suffocation, raised his hands, wiped the tears from her cheeks, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, squeezed out a smile and said: "Honey, don't think nonsense, I love you, you can't choose to break up with me because of something that didn't happen, then I'm really wronged!"
"It's not about breaking up, it's just giving each other some time again and thinking it through. And my agent gave me a couple of opportunities to look at the glasses, and in the U.S., I'm ready to try it, it's my dream, and I don't want to give up these opportunities. Emilia looked at Arthur with red eyes, and said with a little choked up.
"You just go, it's just a seven or eight hour flight, I won't stop you from pursuing your dreams, and you don't need to break up... β
Arthur shook his head with a wry smile and said, but before Hei finished speaking, Emilia reached out to cover his mouth, bit the red chun, shook his head, looked at Arthur and whispered, "Take me to the bedroomγγγγγγ β
Arthur's eyes lit up, and in line with the original intention that nothing could be solved, he picked up Emilia without hesitation, walked quickly into the bedroom, and closed the door with his foot.

"Wellβit's me, if anyone comes to me, let him wait first, that's all. β
Listening to the busy sound on the mobile phone, Bell, as Arthur's personal security consultant, shrugged helplessly, and had a new understanding of the happiness and affection of his new boss.
Time passed in a hurry, like a white horse, everything was like a flick of a finger, and an hour later, Arthur kissed Emilia who was tired and asleep, looked at her rosy pretty face with some complicated eyes, sighed softly, and got up cautiously.
After ten minutes of tidying up and changing clothes, Arthur glanced back at the sleeping Emilia again, turned around and carefully opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, when the door was closed, the eyelashes of the sleeping Emilia trembled slightly.
"Boss. β
Looking at Arthur who walked into the restaurant, Smith Jama who was drinking coffee with a coffee cup and fighting off hunger immediately got up to greet him.
"Sit down, I'm sorry, I just happened to have something to do, have you waited for a long time, why don't you have something to eat?" Arthur said with a refreshing smile and sat down directly.
"I've also just been here for a short time, I haven't had a cup of coffee yet, and I'm not very hungry. Smith Jama laughed.
"At this time, how can you not be hungry, forget it, let's order something first, and talk while eating for a while. Arthur shook his head with a smile, then raised his hand to signal, and the waiter not far away hurriedly stepped forward with a smile.
SOON, THE WAITER BROUGHT THE APPETIZER SMOKED SALMON WITH CAVIAR, THE PURPOSE OF WHICH WAS TO STIMULATE THE TASTE BUDS AND INCREASE THE APPETITE. Appetizers are usually a platter of vegetables, fruits, seafood, and meat.
"How's the London Gold lunch?" asked Arthur as he forked a piece of salmon into his mouth.
"Gold was under selling pressure after the dollar rallied this morning, spurred on by the dollar's fall to a fresh 14-month low and an attempt to hit a 1060 high, but to no avail, as the dollar rebounded and oil prices retraced after hitting a fresh one-year high.
Selling poured in, halting gold's rally. Gold prices are largely hovering between $1,050 and $1,055. There are now signs of profit-taking, with the release of housing starts and building permits data from the United States after the opening of the New York market, which dampened market risk appetite and the stock market retreated, with the euro falling below 1.4900 against the dollar and gold falling to an intraday low of $1052.20 before rebounding slightly to $1057.50 20 minutes ago. β
Smith Jama did not hesitate to tell the story that because his boss made a lot of money on gold, he now invests more time and energy in gold investment to research and track analysis.
"What about the fundamental bearish factors?" Arthur frowned slightly and continued to ask.
"The first is that the US dollar hit a fresh 14-month low today, but then rebounded, which weighed on gold prices. Then there is the fact that oil prices rose to a fresh one-year high above $80 but then pared gains and closed lower, undermining gold's appeal as an inflation hedge. β
Smith Jama said without concealment: "If it is confirmed that the Fed does not raise interest rates at its next meeting, the dollar may face new selling pressure, which will push gold prices to new highs." While a rate hike is very unlikely, there is a growing belief that the Fed may give hints about future interest rate policy, which could hinder large inflows into the gold market.
London gold still has the potential to rise to the next target of $1,100. The reason why London gold is expected to continue to rise is that now that central banks have redefined its role as a long-term reserve asset, the demand for gold has risen sharply. Therefore, I believe that even if the euro reverses against the dollar, the gold will continue to rise.
Spot gold is mainly driven by the US dollar, in other words, by equity market sentiment. The market is now waiting for the release of other corporate earnings reports, which will have a positive impact on the trend of spot gold. β
"That's good, to be honest, I thought that after making a lot of money, I didn't have to worry about money anymore, but after this period of time, I realized that my reputation as a billionaire is a bit watery, and I need money everywhere, it's really not enough!" Arthur was a little thirsty when he thought of the 30 million pounds lying in his account, which was about to be thrown out by himself.
Hearing the boss's alternative crying, the corners of Smith Jama's mouth pulled imperceptibly, but he didn't show superfluous emotions, and said with a smile: "The trend of U.S. stocks rising sharply has become a trend, boss, you can carry out phased profit-taking at any time, which does not hinder the overall investment plan." β
"Hehe, let's wait a minute, let them go up for a while. Arthur chuckled twice, then said, "By the way, how is the real estate agent I asked you to find prepare?"
"I was about to report this to you, I didn't look for any intermediary company, didn't you let me apply for an offshore company, I directly recruited a few employees who are familiar with the real estate situation in London and the surrounding districts, since the boss you want to buy real estate, I think that instead of letting other companies earn agency fees, it is better to build the personnel framework of the offshore company, and they can also help you manage these real estate centrally in the future."
I'm sorry, boss, I didn't report this to you in advance, and I hope you don't get angry. Smith Jama looked a little uneasy, and said with a lot of apprehension in his heart.
In fact, Smith Jama knew very well that he was doing this in the best way, which was very beneficial and helpful to the boss, but the problem was that he didn't report to the boss in advance, and only realized the problem after he did it.
However, he also wanted to see how the young boss was through this matter, because through the observation and understanding of everything during this time, he found that the young boss's control Y was not ordinarily large, and he was really worried that one day he would accidentally violate the boss's bottom line and be kicked out again.
"Hehe, how can I be angry about this kind of thing, it's because I didn't think it through, can you help me check and fill in the gaps, get things done, I'm very satisfied, do a good job, then let them get ready, I'll start looking at the house tomorrow morning." β
Arthur naturally doesn't have such a narrow measure, and even this kind of thing that is beneficial to himself has to be held accountable to the other party, and his control is not so serious, of course, unless he touches his money!
