Chapter 1414 Intentional. Alana instinctively grasped Abel’s arm. However, Abel was glancing at Emmeline without noticing
Alana’s action
“Emma!” he called Emmeline as he was about to rush toward hep
Alana attempted to pull him back. Only then did he realize it and coldly shrugged off her arm.
Meanwhile, Emmeline had turned around, her coat fluttering as she left with Benjamin.
They went to the train station together. Emmeline had booked a ticket to the Magic City as she had to
arrive there by tomorrow for her training.
The next day, around 2:40 p.m., Abel and Emmeline returned to Altney after having lunch at home,
In just one more hour, she would be heading to the train station. The two of them went directly to the
Ryker Group office.
He placed a bulging envelope into Emmeline’s handbag “Here’s 20 thousand in cash. Take care of it
yourself. Give me a call if it’s not enough.
“I haven’t told you yet, Emmeline said. I’ve signed a contract with an insurance company. I can receive
a commission of over 20 thousand.”
“That’s great.” Abel smiled. Your income for two months catches up to what I used to earn in a year.”
“This is just a little amount. Emmeline laughed. Instead, what you do appears to be the tip of the
iceberg!
“Emma” Abel said, “after the inauguration ceremony, help me contact an institution. I want to further
studies.”novelbinEmmeline’s eyes widened. She was surprised by the fact that he, as a typically forceful person, was
going to further his studies.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Abel asked. “Is there something on my face?”
“Something unexpected has happened. Emmeline smiled as she shrugged her shoulders,
“I’m not joking with you,” he clarified. I have to master industrial management.”
“I understand,” she said. T’ll help you find an institution that offers evening classes.”
“Okay.” Abel patted her head. “Come back on time after your training so that you can attend the
inauguration ceremony.”
* keep that in mind, Emmeline replied. “Let’s say I can come back a day early. I might even be
wondering what birthday gift you’ll prepare for me.”
Abel hugged her and asked gently, “What do you want?”
Emmeline tilted her head and thought for a moment. “I haven’t decided yet.”
“Then, I’ll wait for you to come back. He embraced her and continued, Tll give you a surprise.”
Вале!
The office door suddenly opened. Alana appeared at the doorway with documents in her arms. She
dropped everything after seeing the scene and exclaimed loudly. “Surry, I didn’t mean to!”
Abel’s face darkened. His gaze was cold and sharp as he asked, “Don’t you know how to knock?”
“I didn’t know Emma was here.”“So, if she isn’t here, you think you don’t need to knock?”
“No, it’s not like that Alana’s eyes flickered. “There’s only two of us here usually. I got used to it.”
“Alana” Abel frowned as he said, “What are you implying?”
“I mean..” Alana glanced at Emmeline and explained, “Usually, it’s just the two of us here…..
“Abel, Emmeline pushed Abel aside. “If you’re up to something, I leave first.”
It was at that moment she realized that the desk across Abel’s office desk belonged to Alana,
“I’ll send you to the station. Abel held Emmeline’s hand.
“No need!” Emmeline rejected his offer.
“Mr. Ryker, here are the documents you requested. Alana quickly picked up the papers on the floor and
handed them to Abel.
“Leave them there. Il check on them later, Abel replied in an impatient manner.
“But you need to sign them. Alana squeezed in beside him and pointed at the papers in his hand. As
she tilted her head, her long hair fell loosely on his arm.
Emmeline pulled her hand out of Abel’s grip. Then, she took her purse and walked out.
“Emma!” Abel wanted to stop her.
“Mr. Ryker, please sign here… Alana handed him a pen.
At that moment, Emmeline had left the room quickly.
“That’s enough!” Abel waved his hand, causing the papers to scatter on the floor.“Emma” He hurriedly chased after Emmeline.
Alana remained still. A cold smirk tugged at the corner of her lips. Emmeline is naive. She will definitely
be spoofed by my statement just now!
After getting into Abel’s car, Emmeline remained silent throughout the journey. Abel wanted to hold her
hand, but she avoided him.
At 3:40 p.m., the train arrived at the station.
Emmeline turned around and pulled her suitcase while walking toward the ticket gate.
Abel could only accompany her this far.”
Emma!” He called her from behind,
She turned to look at him as tears started to stream down her face. Then, the passengers behind push
her to pass through the ticket gate.
“Emma!” Abel shouted again. “Do call me!”
Emmeline’s figure, which displayed a sense of arrogance, was swallowed by the crowd heading toward
the platform.
Abel suddenly felt empty inside.
Just then, his phone rang in his pocket. It was a call from Luca. “Abel, a batch of components from
Zenya has been loaded onto the truck. I need your signature for the exit permit.”
“Okay. I’ll be back soon.”Upon returning to his office, Abel signed the exit permit. “By the way, help me choose a big office desk.”
He furrowed his brows. “I want to renovate my office.
“What about this one?” Luca gestured with his mouth toward Alana’s desk.
“Move it out!” Abel replied.
“Abel.” Luca suddenly lowered his voice as he said, “Be aware of Scott’s intentions. You need to be
careful of him.”
“What’s the matter?” Abel sneered. ‘Can he overturn my plans?”
“Don’t forget that in way.”
Almey, Luca reminded hum. All aspects of connections and relationships are his
Abel laughed and asked, “You think I can’t make my way in?”
“When the time is right, you can sideline him” Luca said. “He has been corrupt and exploitative for so
many years. Let him go wherever he pleases!”
“Shh!” Abel warned. “Be discreet with your words. You can discuss freely here, but forget about it once
you step out!”
“Of course!” Luca replied with a playful smile. I’m not that foolish‘
Just then, the landline phone rang–it was Scott.
