The World Trade Building project commenced.
Tony assembled a construction team and strictly followed the specified materials for production and installation.
Emmeline came over from home every day and collaborated with the designer on the floor plan.
After lunch, Emmeline would rest at the Transport Guesthouse.
Tony arranged a room for her at the guesthouse so that she could stay there if she worked late.
Janie, the receptionist at the guesthouse, had been absent for the past two days.
Emmeline inquired about her specifically
She and Janic had become close friends.
The front desk informed Emmeline that Janie was on sick leave in the dormitory.
After the afternoon break, just as Emmeline was about to check on her, Janie appeared before her weakly.
Janie, where were you these past two days?” Emmeline asked with concern.
Janie’s face was pale, and her lips lacked color.
Her appearance startled Emmeline.
“What’s wrong. Janie? Are you sick?”
Janie looked up at her, her gaze fixed as if contemplating something. Suddenly, she mysteriously said to Emmeline, Let’s go to your room. I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?” Emmeline was taken aback by her expression.
Nevertheless, she and Janic returned to the second–floor private room, and the two girls sat on the bed.
Janie immediately grabbed Emmeline’s hand. “Emma, I’m pregnant. I’m terrified, and I don’t know what to do!”
“What?!” Emmeline was also shocked. “What happened? I didn’t hear you mention having a boyfriend. Is… Is it Benjamin’s? You should tell him right away!”
“If it were his, I wouldn’t be so anxious and scared!” Janie said, almost on the verge of tears.
Emmeline was at a loss. “Then, who is it? Should I ask my brother?”
“Why would you ask your brother?” Janie said, laughing and crying at the same time. “What does he have to do with this?”
“I’ll ask him if we should go to the hospital or… whether you should get married to that person!”
“I can’t believe you. I thought I had no one to talk to, but you’re even more panicked than me!”
“But you haven’t told me who the other person is. You should get married quickly!”
