Tony announced, “Our friend Abel will handle the distribution of the cash envelopes. Each of these envelopes contains your share from the insurance company.
Emmeline chuckled, “Oh, I almost forgot about that!”
He added, “It’s a sum of 35,000 in cash. You can pick it up later. Also, talk to Janie about being her bridesmaid.”
“Sure, congratulations in advance!” After ending the call, Emmeline coughed before regaining her composure.
Abel raised his concerns, saying. If you keep pushing yourself like this, we might need to return to the hospital”
She replied, “I just want to wrap things up quickly.” Then, she proceeded to call Vernon to discuss employee training.
Angrily, Abel grabbed her phone ‘Fine. Let’s wrap up everything here so you can return and marry Albus!
Emmeline fell into a thoughtful silence. She furrowed her brow and gazed out the car window, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Damn it!” He clenched his fist and slammed it against the steering wheel. He couldn’t believe he had let those hurtful words slip. I’m sorry, babe,” he whispered in a low, husky voice.
She noticed tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
The following morning, Emmeline arrived at the World Trade Building. She meticulously explored the first floor and acquainted herself with the advertising decorations. According to the current status, it would be ready in approximately ten days, allowing them to initiate stocking and test business operations once the employees were in place.
She promptly called Sam, informing Emmeline that her unpaid leave had concluded, and she was awaiting Emmeline’s instructions.
After ending the call, Vernon and his wife coincidentally descended from upstairs.
Emmeline hastened to greet them. “Mr. Chester, Aunt Audrey, hello!”
“Emma, have you lost weight?” Audrey held Emmeline’s hand, a look of concern on her face.
Emmeline smiled. I haven’t been eating well lately; it’s nothing.”
Audrey advised, “You need to take care of your health. You may look delicate, but you possess an entrepreneurial spirit!”
