After Sam changed jobs, she joined the supply department where Allous worked.

“Emma”

Emmeline hesitated, and Albus voice came from the other end of the phone, “It’s me, Albus!”

“What do you want?” She said coldly.

I'm sorry about yesterday, he said. Please don’t be angry.

She hesitated for a moment before saying. I forgot about it. Your family’s issues don’t concern me..

“I won’t let my mom interfere with us. Albus hurriedly said. I won’t listen to her.”

Emmeline didn’t know how to respond. Part of her secretly wished he would heed his mother, but what about Kimberly’s wishes?

“Emma, Albus spoke softly, secking her attention. Are you listening “…” Emmeline’s tone was somewhat weak. “Um.”

I'll come find you,” he said. “Where are you?”

“Don’t come. Emmeline quickly responded. “Don’t come looking for me!

Albus was taken aback and asked, “Why? We had planned to get engaged!”

The statement. “We had planned to get engaged, struck her like a bomb, overwhelming her.

I’ll come find you!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with determination. Just share your address.”

“Alright!” Albus responded promptly. Tll be waiting for you at the office–Altney Steel Supply Company, Section 7 After ending the call, she regained her composure and bid farewell to Tony He quickly pulled out two bundles of fifty thousand from the drawer. This is your share of twenty–three thousand. Emana. Take it!”

With over twenty thousand in cash, the weight of it pressed against Emmeline’s hand. She opened her handbag and carefully stashed the monry inside, struggling with the tight zipper that seemed on the brink. of bursting As she headed toward the door, she noticed Luca napping in the car. She honked the horn to wake him.

Startled, Luca asked. “What’s the matter? What’s happening?”

“We’re leaving Emmeline replied. “Whoa, you can even sleep here.”

I’m used to it, Luca mumbled. All veteran chauffeurs conk out as soon as the car stops.”

“Why don’t I see Abel behave like this?

He shrugged. “Not everyone has Abel’s boundless energy”

She thought to herself, True, Abel’s vitality is unparalleled.

“Are we heading back?” Luca checked the time. “Abel is likely to give you a call soon.”

“I’m going to Altney Steel, Emmeline replied. “Can you take me there?”

Curious, he inquired, “Why are you going there?”

“Don’t ask,” she said, grinning. “But don’t let Abel know, or I might just have to complain to him and deduct your salary!”

Luca chuckled. “I must remind you, Emma… My employer is Abel, not you, but Luca…. I’ll listen to you!”

Altney Steel comprised seven departments, and in the office, there were four desks, but only Albus occupied one. It seemed everyone else had already left.

As Emmeline showed up at the office door, radiating vitality and beauty, he was struck by her presence.

He eagerly welcomed her, wanting to exchange pleasantries and share a warm embrace. Still, he found himself tongue–tied and unsure how to convey his feelings.

She stepped to the side and delivered her message with a hint of detachment, “I have just a few words to say; speak your piece and then go.”

He promptly pulled out a chair and offered it to her, saying, “Please, have a seat. It’s more comfortable.”

Emmeline declined the offer, pushing the chair away. “Td prefer to stand, it suits me better.” Sitting down would make her feel vulnerable, and she realized for the first time how much security Abel had provided. her in her daily life. At this moment, facing Albus alone, she sensed a threat to that protective shield.

Sensing her discomfort, he offered, “I’ll get you some water. He rushed to the water dispenser, filled a paper cup with purified water, and extended it to her.

Emmeline casually placed the object on the windowsill beside her as she and Albus remained in a standoff, separated by a chair.

Breaking the silence, she inquired, “I want to know who Mr. Jorge is, the one I saw at your house that day.”

Feeling embarrassed, Albus finally replied, “He’s my mom’s…”

Emmeline interjected, “I don’t care about his identity, but I did notice your mom’s close relationship with him, and your younger brother looks remarkably like him. It seems like your mom is in a complicated situation.

He stated, “Well, my mom informed me that you had hit them with your car the day before. That created quite a commotion.”

She sighed. “The problem is, my mother is now misinterpreting the situation. She believes your mom is showing bias against me, and it’s hurting her.”

Albus asked, “Should I talk to Aunt Kimberly and clarify things?”
