Abel did not intend to interrupt Emmeline and Janie, but his presence drew the ladies’ attention nonetheless. Emmeline and Janie turned to look at him.
He was standing by the stairs in his black pants and white shirt which was unbuttoned. He had rolled up his sleeves, exposing his muscular arms. He was tall, dark and handsome, and Janie was instantly attracted.
She had to know who this man was. He was as hot as Benjamin! Janie took a deep breath and asked Emmeline, “Who is this guy, Emma? You seem to know a lot of hot guys!”
“What, this guy?” Emmeline paused briefly and said, “He is just my gardener.”
That was a smoking hot gardener! Janie was extremely excited. “You have an eye for hot guys, Emma! Where can I even find such a hot gardener? I would have wanted to date him if I was not already dating our CEO.”
Abel raised an eyebrow. Gardener? He could not believe Emmeline introduced him as a gardener. Though it might be better to hide his identity from strangers. Moreover, he had only been back for a short time, so not many people knew him yet.
“Ms. Louise,” Abel said, “Which types of plants would you like to add to the garden?”
“Leave it to Mateo please,” Emmeline replied, “He knows best.” Abel nodded, “Sure. How about lunch? Would you like me to make your lunch?”
Emmeline glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost lunchtime. “You can make lunch together with Daisy, thank you.”
She had always made lunch together with Daisy, but today she wanted Abel to make her lunch. Abel nodded and returned upstairs.
Janie was surprised. “Wow, Emma! Did you just order your hot gardener to make your lunch also? I have no idea you have such power over hot men!”
“It’s nothing,” Emmeline shook her head, “It’s just part of his job.”
Emmeline tried to divert Janie’s attention. “Are you here just to thank me?”
“Of course not!” Janie replied, “I also want to get some advice from you on finding a way into Mr. Benjamin’s heart.”
Emmeline thought for a while and said, “The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Benjamin lives alone and rarely cooks. Maybe you could bring some home-cooked meals to enjoy with him together. With time, you will grow on him.”
“Brilliant idea!” Janie was excited. “I shall make him meals right now. Thanks, you have the most amazing ideas, Emma!”
“You are welcome,” Emmeline smiled, “Go now and make some tasty meals. Good luck!”
