The soft opening of the World Trade Building showed promising signs from the start.
An unprecedented crowd filled the entire building.
Emmeline, accompanied by her two assistants, found themselves overwhelmed with work!
No wonder Paul had mentioned that the market demand was high now, and they should. stock up on whatever was needed. The scene before her eyes proved it to be true!
Abel called, but Emmeline quickly uttered a few words before setting her phone aside.
She didnât have spare time to chat with Abel while customers were busy selecting styles and trying on clothes.
Before long. Abel arrived in a hurry.
Initially, he was calm, but upon seeing the bustling scene in Emmelineâs two boutique halls, he couldnât help but get involved in serving customers.
After a wave of customers left, Abel wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, âThis wonât do. We canât continue like this.â
He was concerned that Enuna couldnât handle it.
âHire more people! Hire more people! Abel shouted. Add two more employees!â
âOur current manpower is sufficient, Emmeline said. âYouâre asking me to add two more employees now? Do you think Iâm fooling around?â
Iâll take care of the wages. We canât continue like this, anyway!â Abel said. Emmeline was working too hard!
Hearing that, Emmeline pushed him and kicked him out of the exhibition hall, saying. âGo and calm down!â
Sam and Serena laughed as they watched the scene unfold.
âAbel, my man. Why donât you come here every day and be our sales associate? Havenât you noticed that the female customers are going crazy for you?â Sam teased.
Serena chuckled on the side, not daring to make any jokes.
She could tell that if the incredibly handsome Abel stayed here for just one day, the female customers would really go crazy over him.
After a busy day, the number of customers gradually decreased by around five oâclock.
Abel accompanied Emmeline back to the Ryker Group.
Emmeline would be returning home tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow was her engagement day with Albus.
Abel had already prepared the license plate, vehicle registration card, and car keys for the Ford Focus, and he handed them all to Emmeline.
They cooked dinner attentively and enjoyed a quiet meal together.
After dinner, they took a stroll by the tranquil Glazer Lake.
Abelâs hand was broad, warm, and secure.
But in the future, would this warmth still exist?
The next morning, the two of them drove the dazzling imported Ford Focus back to Altney Steel.
As soon as they parked the car downstairs in the neighborhood, it immediately caused quite a stir.
The rumor spread by Kimberly was that the car was bought by Allenâs family as an engagement gift for Emmeline.
Before lunch, Kimberly called Albus and his mother, Michelle.
Three gold bars, a car, and fifty thousand in cash were placed in front of Michelle. Kimberlyâs face was filled with a triumphant expression.
Michelle couldnât hide her greed and couldnât stop smiling.
After lunch, Albus and his mother happily left with the betrothal gifts in their new car.
Tomorrow, these things would be passed to Emmeline through the matchmaker at the engagement ceremony.
This would preserve the dignity of the Ryker family and uphold Emmelineâs reputation.
After seeing off Albus and his mother, Abel told Maxwell, âI wonât come over tomorrow.â
Hearing that, Maxwell nodded while smoking, and he seemed absentâminded.
On the other hand, Emmeline slumped on the sofa. Her heart was in complete turmoil as tears streamed down her face.
âEmma, the whole community knows that you are getting engaged to Allenâs family tomorrow. You canât be indecisive. Otherwise, my reputation will be ruined!â
Kimberlyâs voice was gentle, patient, and pleasant to listen to.
With that, Emmeline raised her tearâstained face and looked at Kimberly with a focused gaze.
Kimberly seemed to have become younger, with fair skin and a pleasant expression.
It was as if she was ten years younger, just like when Emmeline was still in junior high school.
âMom!â Emmeline tentatively called out. âAre you feeling better?â
â
âGood girl! Listen to me, Emma Kimberly embraced her daughter and wiped the tears from her face.
Emmeline felt a bit dazed as she threw herself into Kimberlyâs arms and cried uncontrollably..
When she looked up. Abel had already left.
Back in the city of Altney, Abel arrived at the shore of Glazer Lake.
It was already midnight, and upon checking his phone, he noticed that there were no messages.
The night breeze was chilly, and his hair was disheveled.
He composed a text message for Emmeline that read, Waiting for you to come back!
Staring at the send button, he hesitated for a long time before finally deleting it.
He stood up and ran along the lakesideâ¦
The sun rose.
Today was the day of Emmelineâs engagementâ¦..
