"Of course, we'll get married! I've fallen in love with Emma all over again, and I love her with all my heart," Abel said.
Janie leaped with joy. "That's great. When are you getting married? This is great news!"
Abel uttered with a long face, "That's the problem. Emma took the Worryfree drug last night, so she…"
"W-What?"
Hit by waves of emotion, Janie did not know how to react. "Emma took the Worryfree drug? Does she… Does she…"
Abel grimaced. "That's right. Emma stopped loving me overnight. I'm no better than a stranger to her."
"How did this happen? Why do you always let one another slip away?" Janie flipped out.
"I can't let things spiral out of control. That's why I can't leave Emma out of my sight," Abel replied.
"What's the point of following her? You can't force a relationship," Janie answered.
Abel said, "Better safe than sorry. Emma wanted to deliver coffee to Benjamin first thing in the morning. She's having a work lunch with Benjamin later. You know Benjamin is my rival, whether in business or love."
"I know." Janie sympathetically nodded.
"Besides, you probably don't want Emma and Benjamin to get together, right?"
"Um… No one can stop that from happening if it does happen." Janie smiled dryly.
"That's what you think, but I must stop them. I can't allow Benjamin to swoop in and sweep Emma off her feet. We must be on a united front, Ms. Eastwood," Abel uttered.
"United front?"
"That's right."
Abel seemed to get through to Janie.
"In other words, I'll keep an eye on Benjamin and stop him from being with Emma. Is that what you're saying?"
"Yes. You should fight for a chance since you love Benjamin. You must get rid of all the wrong women for him."
"Wrong women?"
Abel nodded his head. "Yeah. Emma is the wrong woman for Benjamin."
"Oh, I get it. How should I go about it, Mr. Abel?" Janie put on a serious look.
"Try your best to cling to Benjamin. Don't let him have a chance to be alone with Emma."
"Um… That's a little hard. I'm afraid it's not up to me to decide anything for Mr. Benjamin," Janie answered.
