The following morning. Abel once again dropped Emmeline off at RetroWave Advertisements.
With a broom, in hand, Benjamin was sweeping the plaza with vigor.
He asked Abel, “Stay here for the morning, and let’s have a chat.”
“I wish,” Ahel replied. “There’s a lot of commotion at the factory, and I need to help Scort put out the fire.”
Benjamin leaned on the broom and stood there. “When will you take over, Mr. Ryker?”
“Why? You wanna go out for a drink and have a wild time?”
“Drinking with you is different. Of course, I do.”
“Don’t worry, when the time comes, I definitely invite you and Tony, Abel assured. If it weren’t for Tony’s arrangement at the Bureau of Commerce, Scott wouldn’t have been able to cooperate with me so smoothly.”
“That’s because you’re fortunate. If it were me, even if Tony helped arrange it, it would’ve been fruitless.” Benjamin laughed
“You command great respect and authority. Why sell yourself short?” Abel said. Tcan’t help but envy you!”
“Enough nonsense. After you take over, what will you rename the factory?”
“Ryker Forge, how about that?”
“Sounds good!” Benjamin said. “It’s got impact!”
“I agree with you. Tony walked over and said, “It sounds powerful.”
Abel took out a cigarette and handed it to Tony.
Tony nodded and said. “When’s the specific date?”
“Takeover will happen next month. It should be about right.
“If there’s anything inappropriate or uncertain, let’s discuss it together. This is not a trivial matter.”
Abel looked around and noticed that Emmeline was not around.
He raised his hand and pushed back the hair on his temple, smiling. “Look, in just over ten days, I’ve grown a bunch of gray hair!”
“Well, you’re running a business, Tony said. “I started a small advertising company and also grew a layer of gray hair!”
Ten o’clock in the morning.
Emmeline went to find Janie, but Benjamin was unexpectedly there.
When Janie saw Emmeline coming, she, with red eyes, said, “Benjamin knows about this. You don’t have to avoid him.”
Emmeline walked in.
The atmosphere in the rooin was somewhat tense.
Having to play matchmaker for them. Emmeline felt a bit sorry for Janie.
She asked, Janie, have you been to the hospital?
Janie sniffed. “I went yesterday afternoon.”
“What’s the situation?” Emmeline asked, feeling worried,
“The doctor said I can’t have an abortion. I have to wait eight months or.. give birth, Janie said.
Emmeline was dumbfounded when she heard this.
“Emma” Benjamin stood up and said to Emmeline. “This is not something you can handle. You should go back first. I’m here.”
