Chapter 1436: Chapter 1439 Can I Follow You?

Abel was on his way to pick up Havencrest International’s Dylan He grabbed the car keys and walked past Alana.

“Abel!”

Abel had already left the office with long strides.

It was already four o’clock in the afternoon when Abel received Dylan.

“Emma couldn’t make it. Abel shook hands with Dylan warmly. “T’m sorry about that.”

Dylan adjusted his glasses and smiled. “Ms. Louise already called me earlier. She sounds like she caught a cold.”

Abel didn’t know what to say. Actually, she was sniffling because she cried.

“I wanted to learn more about the World Trade Building, Dylan said. ‘Since Ms. Louise isn’t feeling well, I didn’t ask her.

“Emma has informed Mr. Chester, Abel said. “You will meet with the people from there tomorrow.”

“Great!” Dylan continued, “Today, I’ll familiarize myself with Aliney and see which hotel is suitable for arranging a conference with over five hundred people.”

Abel drove the car and took Dylan around the city and the development zone.

Finally, Dylan chose the Hallaway Hotel in the development zone.

It was a five–star hotel with a panoramic elevator.

The circular conference room could accommodate about a thousand people.

Organizers of large conferences or performances in the city would usually choose this venue as well.

Returning to the city. Abel took Dylan to the hotel they booked for him.

“Mr. Carson, you can rest for a bit, Abel said. Tll come to pick you up in an hour, and well go have pasta for dinner.

“Mr. Ryker, please don’t stand on ceremony,” Dylan said. “You’re busy too, so I’ll handle dinner myself!”

Abel had originally planned to accompany Dylan for dinner and then go back home.

However, Dylan didn’t need him, so he could just go home now and be with Emmeline.

Without Emmeline by his side, his heart was always in turmoil.

Back at Ryker Group, the quality inspection department submitted a report on a batch of completed orders in Gringham.

All relevant personnel had already signed and confirmed the report, and Abel signed it as well after checking it.

This report could now be packed and sent with the goods.

After the staff left. Abel called Emmeline.

The phone connected, and Emmeline’s hoarse voice came from the other end. “Abel.”

Abel’s heart tightened. “Are you okay, Emma? Why is your voice hoarse?”

“I forgot to drink water this afternoon, Emmeline said softly. “I was busy preparing for the training.

Brandon had asked her to try teaching a marketing management class for the employees of the World Trade Building.

Actually, she didn’t dare tell Abel that her mother scolded her father harshly again.

After Emmeline calmed her mother down, her throat was hoarse from crying-

Abel said, “Emma, don’t work so hard. Lesson planning takes more than just a day or two. I’m not by your side, so take care of yourself.”

“I’m fine.” Emmeline smiled lightly, feeling warm and fuzzy hearing Abel’s words.

“I’ll be back soon. Abel continued. “What do you want to eat? I’ll buy it and bring it back.”

“Mr. Carson is here. Emmeline frowned. “How could you just leave him alone? You should have a meal with him!

“I’ve already arranged a hotel for him. Abel furrowed his brows. “I’m worried about you!”

“I told you I’m fine!” Emmeline pouted. “Take care of Mr. Carson. That’s the most important thing right now.”

“Alright, alright! I’ll listen to you, okay?” Abel knew he couldn’t argue with her. She had a point.

“Then I’ll accompany him to finish the meal, and then I’ll come home to you. That’s fine, right?”

“Of course!” Emmeline grumbled playfully, “I also want you to come back soon!”

She only felt at ease and secure with Abel by her side.

After hanging up the phone, Abel took his car keys and went out.

He saw Alana standing at the door with a desolate expression.

Secing Abel, she spoke with a hoarse voice. “Abel, can I follow you?”

“I’ve already said no!” Abel’s handsome face remained calm.

“Today is my birthday.” Alana seemed like she was about to cry. “Don’t leave me alone, please?”

Abel’s heart softened. He had experienced this feeling when he was young too.

“Abel. I mean, Mr. Ryker… Alana looked at Abel pitifully. “Please?”

“I’m going to take the client to eat pasta.” Abel nodded. “You can come along”

“Thank you, Abel! I mean, thank you, Mr. Ryker!” Alana’s eyes lit up, and she almost jumped for joy.

It was the first time Alana sat in Abel’s Buick Regal, but she tactfully sat in the back seat.

After parking the car in front of the hotel, Abel called Dylan.

After about ten minutes, Dylan, dressed in a suit, came down.

The three of them arrived at Altney’s famous street of specialty cuisine.

Passing by a flower shop. Alana bought herself a bouquet of red roses with a heart–shaped card that said ‘Happy Birthday‘ on it.
