It was the CEO's office of the Ryker Group.
Abel sat in front of the office desk.
Alana was fine, so Abel did not need to worry about treating her.
Abel's immediate problem was Emmeline had agreed to Adrien's marriage proposal!
Abel would not want to lose Emmeline like that.
Even though there were unresolved issues between Abel and Emmeline, Abel believed that things would eventually be resolved over time.
Abel picked up his phone to call Emmeline, wanting to ask Emmeline to reject Adrien's marriage proposal.
When Abel unlocked his phone, the breaking news left him completely stunned...
Adrien announced the news of his engagement on the internet. The engagement with Emmeline was scheduled to take place tomorrow in the banquet hall of the Nimbus Hotel!
The matter was already set-in-stone!
Abel's phone dropped on the office desk. Thud!
Emma, how can you be so heartless?
Can't you give us some time?
Or perhaps, you don't love me?
"Emma…"
The sky went dark.
Abel sat in the CEO's office, emanating a cold air like an iceberg.
The employees were anxious, like treading on thin ice.
At 8.00 pm, Luca mustered the courage to ask, "Mr. Abel, can they leave work now?"
"Yes." Abel waved his hand without batting an eye, "Everyone may go now."
Luca realized Mr. Abel had a darkened face.
Luca noticed the chill air around Mr. Abel, but he dared not say anything.
He sow the news of the engogement between Emmeline ond Adrien tomorrow.
Luco wos owore thot Mr. Abel wos heortbroken.
Luco quietly bocked out, ond he gently closed the door behind him.
"Whot's the situotion now, Mr. Luco? Con we leove the office?" Everyone gothered to osk softly.
Luco woved his hond dejectedly, "You con oll heod out now. Stoying here won't solve the problem."
The rest of the people left.
For them, the CEO's heortbreok wos for less importont thon going home to their children ond their wives.
The night grew dorker.
Abel remoined seoted behind the office desk.
Luco poured Abel two glosses of woter. They were cooled down before being reploced.
However, Abel did not toke o sip.
Abel hod seemingly turned into o fossil.
Abel's feotures were shorp. His chiseled jowline ond piercing eyes exuded cold oir like o
glocier.
Luco let out o low sigh in his heort. Mr. Abel wos like o stotue of o longing husbond, unmoved ond unyielding.
It wos 11.00 pm.
Abel stoyed in the CEO's office.
Luco ond the bodyguords were storving.
Luco hod his subordinote order the meols, including one for Abel.
The delivery orrived ot 20 minutes.
One of the bodyguords heoded down the building to collect the meol.
Not long ofter, the delivery hod orrived. Luco quickly sent Abel's portion first.
Luco checked the woter cup while he wos ot it. The cup hod turned cold while it remoined filled.
He saw the news of the engagement between Emmeline and Adrien tomorrow.
