"Emmett's a boy," Abel said. "At his age, I couldn't even tell how old women were."
"Yeah," Emmeline chimed in. "To me, she looks about the same age as our maid. What's the big deal?"
"Forget about it," Abel ruffled her hair. "Let's go to Nightfall Cafe."
"Mr. Abel," Evelyn spoke up anxiously. "Aren't you going to stay home with me?"
"I'm going out for coffee with my little bro here," Abel said, putting his arm around "Emmett's" shoulder. "You can eat dinner by yourself."
"But, Mr. Abel..." Evelyn protested.
Abel ignored her and walked out with "Emmett," two "men" on a mission.
Luca hastily texted Sam: "Mr. Abel went to get coffee, you're not closed, are you?"
Sam read the message and knew that Ms. Louise had "abducted" Abel to come over.
He quickly replied to Luca: "I was about to close, but since Mr. Abel is here, I'll stay open a little longer. After all, he's the one who pays me triple."
Luca replied: "Okay, we'll be there in a bit."
Sam sent a winking emoji.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Abel's Rolls-Royce pulled into the parking lot across the street.
Sam leaned against the glass door and saw Emmeline and Abel walking towards him, arm in arm.
From a distance, Emmeline really did look like a cool, handsome young man, and her appearance didn't disappoint up close.
After they crossed the road and entered the coffee shop, Emmeline strolled around with one hand in her pocket, taking in the comfortable atmosphere.
"Well, well, this place is pretty nice. I like it," she said.
"Mr. Abel, this gentleman," Sam greeted them as they approached the counter. "Would you like some coffee?"
"Yep, pretty lady," Emmeline stepped in front of Sam. "Could you brew us two cups of coffee, no sugar or milk?"
"Sure, please have a seat," Sam smiled. "The coffee will be ready shortly."
Emmeline nodded and complimented Sam, "You're such a sweet and pretty little lady. I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry you someday."
Sam hung her head, knowing that Emmeline was intentionally saying that to make Luca blush.
Sure enough, Luca's face turned red on the other side.
"Oops?" Emmeline turned around and pointed at Luca in surprise. "Luca, I was complimenting this young lady, why are you blushing?"
"Uh," Luca shrugged his neck. "Just got blown by the wind outside."
"Really?" Emmeline teased him. "Mr. Ryker and I also got blown by the wind, but we're not blushing. Mr. Ryker, are you blushing?"
Abel touched his face. "I don't think so."
Luca didn't say anything, turning his head to look outside.
Abel reminded him, "You're just standing there, why don't you go help Sam with the coffee?"
Luca's face turned even redder, but he didn't dare to disobey the order and said, "Oh!"
