Luca was stunned, to be honest, he had felt the same way before.
But he shook his head, âItâs impossible.â
Ms. Louise was still in Osea, and he had no idea whether she was alive or not.
âHow could it be impossible?â Adrien insisted. âThe more I think about it, the more it makes sense!â
Luca remained silent, but deep down he still believed it was impossible.
However, he couldnât help but feel excited at the prospect of Emmett being Ms. Louise. If it were true, he would bow down and apologize a hundred times.
Luca shook his head and let out a sigh. âThings arenât that simple,â he said.
âAdrien!â
Just then, Lizbethâs voice could be heard from down the hallway. âDid you fall in the toilet or something?â
Adrien hastily waved to Luca and rushed off.
Luca returned to the door of the private room and peered through the crack. As luck would have it, âEmmettâ was facing the door, providing Luca with a clear view of her profile.
He scrutinized her carefully, thinking to himself, âIt really does look like her. The more I look at her, the more convinced I am that Mr. Adrien might be onto something.â
The three of them ordered their dishes in the private room.
Benjamin turned to Emmeline and asked, âEmmett, are you still studying or working?â
Emmeline replied, âIâve graduated from university, and Iâm currently unemployed.â
Abel narrowed his eyes and asked, âBenjamin, what are you thinking?â
âI was just thinking,â Benjamin tilted his head and looked at Emmeline, âthat I need a secretary by my side. Why donât you come to work for me, Emmett? The salary wonât be a problem.â
âThat sounds great!â Emmeline clapped her hands happily. âI was actually looking for a job to gain some experience and eventually take over Emâs business.â
âForget about working for Benjamin,â Abel shot Benjamin a glance and pulled the chair over to Emmeline. of positions available at my company. You can choose whatever you want to do.â
âAbel,â Benjamin frowned, âthis is not okay. I just offered the job to Emmett.â
âThat doesnât matter,â Abel replied, âEmmett is my brother. If he wants to work, he has to go through me first. Ryker Group has all sorts of positions available, and he can choose whatever he wants to do.
Salary is up to him.â
âWow,â Emmeline laughed, âthatâs amazing. I can set my own salary?â
âAs long as you choose my company,â Abel ruffled her hair. âThe salary is up to you!â
âThen of course I choose Mr. Ryker!â Emmeline winked at Benjamin.
âI canât believe you,â Benjamin pretended to be unhappy with Abel. âOkay, fine. I wonât compete with you.â
âEmmett,â Abel turned his head to look at Emmelineâs face, âwhat do you want to do? Tell me.â
âIâ¦â Emmeline hesitated for a moment, âI want to study business management so that I can help my dad in the future.â
âThen stay with me,â Abel said, âintern directly in the CEOâs office with me.â
âThatâs great,â Emmeline said happily, âThank you, Mr. Ryker!â
âDonât be so polite to me,â Abel rubbed her little head again, his face full of indulgence.
This time it was Benjamin who winked at Emmeline.
Emmeline made a victory âVâ gesture towards him.
Benjaminâs lips curved into a slight smile, feeling both heartbroken and helpless.
This little girl is really going all out to awaken Abelâs feelings for her.
After dinner, Benjamin returned to Adelmar.
âMr. Ryker,â Emmeline said to Abel, âare you going back to Ryker Group now? Can I intern with you?â
âI have to make a detour to see someone,â Abel said. âFollow me in your car.â
Emmeline figured Abel was probably talking about Kendra, and she was also worried about Kendra and Quincy.
âOkay, lead the way, and Iâll follow you,â she said eagerly.
Two cars drove out of the Nimbus Hotel parking lot, one in front and one behind, heading to the ravioli shop where Kendra was doing a part-time job.
Abelâs security car followed closely behind.
The ravioli shop was quite far away, and it took nearly forty minutes to get there.
By the time they arrived, it was already past mealtime, and there were no customers in the shop.
The owner and a worker were cleaning up.
Suddenly, a suave and dignified man walked in, exuding a strong aura.
Following closely behind him was a delicate and handsome young man.
The owner stood there with her mop, stunned.
Holy moly, these two guys are the epitome of male beauty!
She had never seen such a handsome man in her life.
The shop owner was dumbfounded and lost in her own thoughts. Abelâs voice broke the silence, âIâm here to see Kendra, where is she?â
