The door was shut before Abel could enter. “Emma, why are you here?” Benjamin said. He was surrounded by women on his desk. Emmeline chuckled and asked, “Ben, I never thought I would see you in this situation.”
“You’re laughing at me? Please help me out,” Benjamin said. “It’s your lucky day, you know. Isn’t it great to have women all over you?” Emmeline teased. “Alright, laugh all you want. This is the end of me, isn’t it?” Benjamin said as he frowned.
Emmeline sized up the women around him as she came up with a plan. “Mr. Benjamin, weren’t you waiting for Janie to return? Well, here I am. Let me stay by your side,” a woman said as she clung to Benjamin’s shoulder.
“Mr. Benjamin, don’t listen to her. I’m Janie. I should be the one staying!”
“No, I’m Janie!”
“Shut up! I am!”
“I’m the one that Mr. Benjamin is looking for!”
The women quarreled nonstop. “As I’ve said, none of you are the one I’m looking for!” Benjamin uttered frustratedly.
