Chapter 1414: Chapter 1417 Overslept

“Abel Emmeline’s voice remained calm. “I am still at the hotel.

“Why are you still at the hotel?” He wondered and asked, “Emma, weren’t you supposed to catch the 9 a.m. train?”

“I asked you to call me at 7 a.m. and wake me up, didn’t I?” she grumbled. “Why didn’t you call me?”

“D*mn it!” He was infuriated. I called you at 7 am. You said okay and then hung up. I thought you were in a hurry and didn’t have time to chat! Turns out you fell back asleep!

“Huh?” She scratched her head. “Is that so? I don’t remember.”

Abel felt like he was fainting. I called you a hundred times starting from 9 a.m.! You only answered now!

I thought you should be on the train, but you’re still at the hotel! I really can’t believe you!”

“Abe,” she called out in a pitiful voice. “I’m so tired, okay? I only sleep three or four hours a day.”

“Emma, Abel said weakly on the other end. “If I have to make you go out by yourself again, I—”

“What is it? Emmeline asked.

“I’m booking a flight for you now. Abel growled. “Hurry up and get up and get ready. I’ll see if I can find a flight for you.”

“Okay! She responded, rolling out of bed and quickly getting ready, changing clothes rapidly.

After finishing, Abel called.

“How is it?” Emmeline answered.

“Congratulations. You can keep sleeping” He gritted his teeth and continued. Forget about the train. We couldn’t find a suitable schedule. The earliest flight is at 4:30 a.m., arriving at the airport around 6 am.

I’ve arranged for Luca to pick you up. You should be back around II a.m. Just in time for the unveiling ceremony.”

“What about you?” She said, “I want you to pick me up!”

“Do you think I don’t want to?” He replied, “Do you know you’ve been torturing me these past few days? Businessmen from everywhere and officials from Altney City Hall have all arrived. I wanted to pick you up, but are you expecting me to resemble a God? Can I divide myself into parts?”

Emmeline pouted, realizing she had made a mistake. She had overslept.

He didn’t hear a response again and called out, “Emma!”

“I’m not sleeping Emmeline mumbled, “I’m awake now.”

“Why aren’t you speaking if you are not asleep?” Abel said, “If you keep this up, I’ll lose hall because of you!”

“I was thinking…” Emmeline sighed. “Is there no other way?”

He was exhausted.

She was making him wait another day after waiting so long for her to return! Just wait until she comes back. I’ll teach her a lesson!

Hanging up the phone with Abel, Emmeline remembered there was still Brandon! He said to call him when she was awake, and he would take her to the train station.

Now what?

After she dialed the number, she said. “Master!”

was warm and gentle.

“Emma, are you up? What time is the train?” His voice was “9 am,” said Emmeline.

“9 a.m.?” Brandon was confused. It was already II a.m. Then, he burst into laughter. “You overslept!”

“Yup!” Emmeline blushed and nodded.

“I guess you won’t be able to catch a suitable train,” he said. “It will delay your return to attend the company’s unveiling ceremony. Let me check the flight schedule.”

“Abel has already booked a flight,” she said. “It’s at 4:30 am “Well, that’s good,” he said. “But there’s still a distance from the airport to Almney, right?”

“He arranged a chauffeur. Emmeline said, “I should be able to arrive before the unveiling ceremony.”

“It’s quite tight,” said Brandon. “But there’s no other choice. I’ll wake you up at 3 a.m. and take you to the airport!”

“Thank you, Master.” Emmeline obediently said. “Sorry for troubling you again.”

“It’s nothing” He continued, “I’ll pick you up now. It’s already noon, and we still need to have lunch.”

Half an hour later, Brandon picked up Emmeline.

Abel called again. “Emma, enjoy your lunch.”

“I know!”

“And tell me your clothing specifications.”

“Huh?” She was surprised. “Why?”

“After the unveiling ceremony, there will be a sales meeting,” said Abel. “And in the evening, there’s a thank–you dinner. I’ll bring you a formal dress.”

“Who’s going to buy it for me?” Emmeline frowned. “It’s not Alana, is it?”

“No.” Abel said, “I’ll personally buy it. I still have some time this afternoon!”

She thought for a moment before she declined the offer. “I’ll just buy it myself over here. Trying it on myself will give me a better idea of how it looks”

He also thought for a moment. That works. I’ll transfer the money to you.
