Emmeline knew Abel was telling the truth. He did not like sweet talk, but everything he said hit the spot.
"I have a question for you. Did the Ryker Group cease collaboration with the Hemmings Group because of me?" asked Emmeline.
"Don't worry about this. Just enjoy making good coffee and snacks. I will take care of everything else," said Abel.
"Well, I appreciate what you have done for me," said Emmeline.
Abel smiled. "So, where's my reward? I want a coffee, slightly sweet," said Abel.
"I thought you drink your coffee without sugar," said Emmeline.
"I'm in the mood for something sweet," said Abel seductively.
"Alright. Just place the order through Nighfall's app. I'll make the coffee myself and send it over." Emmeline gave in.
"I'll place the order right away," said Abel.
"Don't forget to give us a five-star review!" said Emmeline jokingly.
"Of course!" said Abel. He had been following Nightfall Cafe's social media and liking their posts, even though he had never been active on social media before. He did this to support his lovely wife.
Meanwhile, Ysabel Hemmings from the Hemmings Group had been in panic mode. "Did you see the news?" She called Sonia on the phone.
"No. What happened?" asked Sonia.
"It's a disaster. Ryker Group terminated all the projects with Hemmings Group this morning, even when they had to pay the penalty. Other corporations caught the news and are planning to do the same. My father could not take the news and passed out just now," cried Ysabel.
Sonia's face went pale. She knew Abel's message behind the action: leave his wife alone!
Didn't Ysabel say Abel and Emmeline only got together because she got pregnant after someone set them up? Furthermore, they are not married officially. They do not love each other. They are only together because of the kids.
Sonia wondered if Abel did this because he wanted to see her in person again.
"Don't worry, Ysabel. I'll take care of it, even if I have to use all the resources I have," said Sonia.
"Please, Sonia. My parents still do not know this happens because of me. They will kill me if they find out about this," begged Ysabel.
"Don't panic. I'll go and see Abel now. I don't think he would be so cruel to ignore me completely," said Sonia.
