Chapter 1371 Sneak Over To See Her
“The City Department Store has been taken over by a Mr. Chester and renamed the World Trade Building.” Tony said. “Emmeline, have you heard about it?”
“Yes.” Emmeline nodded. “I’ve heard something about it?”
“So, I’m planning to take on the entire advertising project for the World Trade Building,” he said. “I’ve been wracking my brains to write a proposal, and the heavens brought you, who has a background in this field, to me. Isn’t it like a godsend?”
She chuckled. “Tony, you sure know how to flatter me.”
“Emmeline, I’ll trouble you with this proposal!” Tony said earnestly. “If it works out, we’ll share the
success!”
Emmeline laughed again. I’m still trying to grasp everything, and you’re already talking about profit- sharing! You’re scaring me!”
“Emmeline, this is a big deal. We’re partners now!” Tony raised his glass and clinked it with Emmeline’s. without hesitation. “Benjamin, bear witness, the deal is sealed today!”
Benjamin also picked up his glass and clinked it with Emmeline’s.
“Why do I feel like I’ve been recruited into a gang?” Emmeline joked.
“Emmeline, once you’ve written the proposal, the two of us will go talk to Mr. Chester. We’re sure to succeed!” Tony said.
“Alright then,” Emmeline reluctantly agreed with a nod.
After dinner, she was once again escorted back to the guesthouse by Benjamin.
Janie handled the check-in process seriously, and the two girls had a simple and relaxed conversation.
Emmeline learned that Janie was a country girl and two years older than herself.
Janie found out that Emmeline was Benjamin’s friend’s sister and had no romantic relationship with Benjamin.
“Janie, do you like Benjamin?” Emmeline asked.
“He doesn’t like me,” Janie said somewhat dejectedly but also with a hint of joy. “But he said maybe he will like me in the future. Take it slow,”
“Why would he have such an idea?” Emmeline furrowed her brows. “Liking someone should be straightforward. If there’s no affection, don’t force it. Both parties will end up hurt.”
“Benjamin originally agreed to be engaged to me, then he refused,” Janie lowered her gaze.
“That’s his fault then. Marriage is a serious matter; it can’t be taken lightly,” Emmeline pouted. “I’ll have my brother give him a lesson!”
“He refused precisely because it’s not to be taken lightly Janie sighed. “I don’t blame him.”
“I really don’t get it.”

“Take it slow; maybe he will come to like me,” Janie smiled shyly. “Many girls here admire Benjamin, so I misunderstood when I saw you.”
“Benjamin is a really nice person. Make sure to seize the opportunity.” Emmeline blinked her eyes.
“Well, let’s leave it to fate.” Janie sighed softly and asked, “Is your brother coming to pick you up?”
“I didn’t let him know I’m here. We’ll see,” Emmeline said somewhat sadly.
“Don’t be mad at him. Having a brother is a blessing.”
She smiled. Yes, having a brother is indeed a blessing, but that was in the past. Will it continue to be in the future?
Abel knew she was at the bus stop but still didn’t allow her to see him. It was heart-wrenching, but if he didn’t want to see her, then so be it.
The night had grown deep, and the rain had finally stopped.
