Chapter 1413 Anger “I was having lunch with Ben,” Emmeline said. “We were already at the entrance of the Ryker Group
when you said you were at the hospital, so we left.”
“Where are you now?” Abel asked.
“I’ll be back to RetroWave Advertisements in a little while.”
“Tell me where you are.”
“I just want to have a quiet lunch. You can go ahead and do your thing!”
“Emma..
Beep. Emmeline hung up the call.
In the hospital corridor, Abel was a bit confused.
Her voice sounded distant and cold. It was completely different from her previous demeanor, which had
been sweet and tender, filled with endless reliance on him.
Did she get angry after hearing Alana’s voice just now!
“Abe, why are you so far away from me?” Alana asked with a hint of grievance.
Abel frowned in annoyance. I have something to do!”
“Come over and help me down. I can’t walk! Alana’s eyes were teary. I lost the tea I bought for you. I’ll
buy some again another day. Please don’t be angry.”
“You don’t have to do that,” Abel said. ‘I also take responsibility for today’s incident. I was the one who
sent you out.”He took out 300 dollars from his wallet and placed it on the chair. “Buy some supplements for yourself.”
“I… Before Alana could finish her words, Abel had already turned around and walked away quickly.
novelbin“Look at what you’ve done, Scott reproached Alana in a low voice. “How can you be so careless?”
“I did it to get closer to Abel, Alana pouted. “Isn’t it your idea?”
Scott trembled with anger. I didn’t ask you to get hit by a vehicle!”
“Well, what did you expect me to do?” She was on the verge of tears. Should I just throw myself at
him? Will he even give me an eye?
“Why aren’t you leaving?” Scott raised his voice in a low tone. “Do you want him to leave us here? Get
into the car and say some kind words to appease him!”
Upon reaching the parking lot, Abel got into the driver’s seat. He lit a cigarette as he frowned.
Then, Scott and Alana came over. They opened the car doors and took their seats, displaying a sense
of self–awareness. Scott sat in the passenger seat while Alana sat in the back seat.
“Abe, I didn’t mean to cause you trouble…” Alana said with a hint of grievance.
“No need to say anything more. I’ll take you home.” Abel started the car. “Alana, with your current
condition, it’s better to take a few days off from work and rest.”
“It’s okay,” Alana said with a sense of panic. “It’s just a minor injury. It won’t affect my work.”
“These days, the company is quite busy.” Scott came along. “There’s no need for Alana to rest.
“Then, I’ll send you back to rest first,” Abel said with a cold face. “It’s already late.”“It’s fine, Abel, Scott said. “Let’s find a place. I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“I have something to do. Let’s make it on another day. Abel rejected. He wasn’t in the mood for a meal
since Emmeline was angry with him.
“Nothing is more important than having a meal!” Scott commanded. “Let’s go to a restaurant!”
“I’m really up to something…..
“You’re not following my orders now?” Scott frowned. “Is it because I’m getting old and useless?”
Abel was speechless.
“Find a place, Scott said. “I’m treating you today!”
Abel had no choice but to turn the car around. They headed to a restaurant named Alley Kitchen.
They ate quickly during the meal, but Abel barely said a word throughout the entire time. Meanwhile,
Alana diligently served him some food on his plate. Abel neither refused nor ate, simply focusing on his
own dish. Even though the plate was full, he paid no attention to it
Initially, Scott had ordered a bottle of white wine. After seeing Abel’s attitude, he felt too embarrassed
to drink it himself.
As there was no air conditioning in the private room. Abel started to sweat. Alana picked up a tissue
and intended to wipe it for him. Nevertheless, he turned his head and avoided it.
“Abel,” Scott said. “From now on. Alana will work with you. Please cooperate well. In that way. I’ll feel
my consideration toward you over the years is not a waste.”
“Okay,” Abel replied casually.She smiled happily as she said, “Abe, you should try these delicious dishes.”
“I’m done eating. You guys enjoy it,” he said. He made an excuse to go to the restroom and settled the
bill in advance.
After the meal, the three of them walked out together. Scott couldn’t help but bring up the matter of
Abel paying the bill while combining reprimands with polite words.
“Thank you for treating us, Abe: Alana pulled Abel’s arm, but he avoided her.
As they came out of Alley Kitchen, they saw two people come out of the restaurant opposite them–they
were Emmeline in white and Benjamin in a uniform.
Standing on opposite sides of the road, Emmeline and Abel locked eyes on each other. Both of them
froze.
