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.”
Emmeline’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.”

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,
