Emmeline had no idea how to explain to Janie.
âMr. Benjamin.â Janie suddenly burst into tears and asked chokingly, âI understand now. You donât accept me because you like your cousin, right?â
Benjamin was speechless.
Janie looked at Emmeline again âEmma, I thought you were my best friend. It turned out you were lying to me!â
Janie threw the lunch box and flowers on the ground. Then, she turned and ran away.
Emmeline and Benjamin were dumbfounded on the spot.
Emmeline would order Benjamin to chase Janie if they were on the main road. But now, they were in the building of Adelmar Group.
Benjamin was the highest leader of the Adelmar Group, so she could not order him to go after Janie.
However, she did not want to break Janieâs heart. Few girls dared to love so boldly these days. That was why she wanted to help Janie.
âIâm leaving first,â Emmeline said unhappily to Benjamin.
Since I canât order Benjamin to go after Janie, Iâll go after Janie myself.
âIâll send you off,â Benjamin said.
âNo need.â Emmeline shook her head. âIâll go down with the CEOâs private elevator.â
Benjamin said nothing more because many people were nearby the CEOâs office.
Those people were thinking and guessing about the relationship between Benjamin and Emmeline since she could take the CEOâs private elevator freely.
âHave you all ever seen beauty?â Benjamin shouted to them.
They immediately closed their office doors.
Emmeline took the CEOâs private elevator down to the first floor, and Janie had long since disappeared. She took out her phone and called Janie.
At first, Janie did not answer. She was probably out of anger. When Emmeline called again, Janie picked it up.
It was Janie who spoke first. âEmma, I canât believe what I saw. I canât believe youâre lying to me.â
âYouâre right if you donât believe it,â Emmeline said as she walked, âI have a close relationship with Benjamin, but itâs not what you think. Weâre not in love. Iâve said it a hundred times.â
âI trust you, or you wouldnât help me pursue Mr. Benjamin, butâ¦â
After a pause, Janie continued, âEmma, have you noticed that Mr. Benjamin looks at you differently?â
Emmeline was a bit difficult to answer for Janie.
She had noticed Benjaminâs feelings toward her three years ago. But their relationship did not change because of that.
She was still his young master, and he was still her butler. Their relationship was pure.
âEmma, are you listening?â Janie could not hear Emmelineâs voice.
Emmeline answered, âJanie, letâs meet and talk. I canât make it clear on the phone.â
Janie responded happily, âOkay, Iâll treat you to coffee!â
Emmeline said, âLetâs not drink coffee. I always drink it.â
âThatâs right. How about tea?â
âOkay. Which tea room shall we go to?â
âThe one opposite the Adelmar Group on the north side.â
Emmeline looked across from Adelmar Group. There was an antique building, which obstructed her sight, but Emmeline remembered a tea room behind it.
âI just got off the building Iâll wait for you on the opposite side.â
Janie answered, âOkay! I just arrived at the intersection. Iâll turn around ahead.â
After about ten minutes, Janie parked the car and entered the tea room. As Janie still wore the delivery manâs costume, the waiter thought she was delivering food âI came to meet my friend,â Janie explained hastily.
âJanie, Iâm here.â Emmeline stood up and waved to Janie.
Janie hurried over and sat opposite Emmeline.
The waiter had already brewed a pot of tea, then left.
Janie pouted. âEmma, do you think I feel wrong? Womenâs feelings are very accurate. Mr. Benjamin likes you.â
âUhâ¦â Emmeline gave a cup of tea to Janie and answered, âMaybe you donât feel wrong, but you have to believe that Benjamin and I donât have a relationship. Thatâs enough.â
But if Mr. Benjamin likes you. How can he accept me?â Janie was a little worried. âYouâre so beautiful and lovely. I canât replace you.â
âI misjudged you. How could such a difficulty scare you? I wouldnât have matched you and Benjamin if knew your timidity. Anyway, I have nothing to do with him. You just watch him marry another woman in the future.â
âThat wonât work!â Janie almost jumped up. âMr. Benjamin can only marry me!â
âGood to have the courage.â Emmeline pouted. âI know Iâll never be with Benjamin, and I think youâre good, so I tried to match you two. Do you think Iâm that free to help you?â
âI understand now.â Janie blushed a little. âIâll seize the opportunity to pursue Mr. Benjamin.â
Emmeline said, âThatâs the best. I donât want Benjamin to be alone forever. Iâll feel uncomfortable to see that.â
Janie patted her chest. âDonât worry. Leave this problem to me! He wonât be single later!â
âThatâs great!â Emmeline laughed âAs long as you work hard, you can success.â
Janie nodded. She must have perseverance and would not give up until she could be with Benjamin.
Thinking of Benjamin, Janie blushed.
Emmeline saw Janie blush and felt a little puzzled.
âWhatâs wrong with you? I only encouraged you. Why are you blushing?â
Janie tugged at the collar.
âNothing. The clothes are a bit thick. Iâm hot.â
âDrink more tea.â Emmeline poured her tea. âYouâll feel better.â
Janie picked up the teacup and took a sip. The atmosphere between them eased, and it turned into chatting.
Suddenly, Janie stared at the phone screen and said, âWhat does she mean? Is she getting engaged?â
Emmeline raised her head when she heard that, then gossiped, âWho wants to get engaged?â
Janie responded, âItâs Alana Lane. The entertainment reporters always like to obtain her news.â
Alana?â Emmeline froze for a moment. âShow it to me.ââ
â
Janie turned the phone screen to Emmeline.
Emmeline stared and saw it was a Twitter repost by an entertainment reporter, and the original link was indeed named Alana.
âThanks to him for giving me time to restore my health and beauty. I look forward to the engagement with him.â
Those words hit Emmelineâs heart like a hammer. It made her suffocate, stuffy, and painful.
It turns out that Abel is going to be engaged to Alana. Abel was not perfunctory with Old Mr. Ryker.
Otherwise, Alana wouldnât dare to post publicly!
Emmeline suddenly wiped her mouth hard.
Janie was taken aback, then asked, âEmma, is something wrong with this tea?â
âNope,â Emmeline replied.
âThen, why are you wiping your mouth so hard?â
âI suddenly remembered Late blue cheese. I still feel smelly now.â
