Jocelyn frowned and said, âMr. Cain, I have an appointment in the afternoon!â
âWhat about at night?â
âIâm not free at night either!â
âIn that case, letâs meet up tomorrow or the day after!â Abel continued saying stubbornly. He did not mind at all.
Jocelyn was unhappy. âMr. Cain, canât you tell? Iâm rejecting your offer!â
Abel chuckled lightly and said, âLil Sis, canât you sense it? Iâm interested in you! Youâre way too interesting!â
He recalled how Jocelyn had cleared all the pool balls on the table in one go that day. He found it extremely intriguing.
Jocelynâs voice grew icier as she said, âThere are plenty of interesting people out there. Iâm very busy.
Look for someone else, Mr. Cain!â
Abel said in an exasperated tone, âIâm just downstairs of your company building right now. If you donât mind, I can come here and wait for you every day!â
Jocelyn knew that Abel intended to come here to look for her every day if she did not have a meal with him.
Her expression changed. âYouâre downstairs?â
As soon as Jocelyn finished speaking, she walked out of the company building.
Abel caught sight of Jocelyn immediately. He smiled as he waved at Jocelyn.
However, he noticed Skyler not far behind Jocelyn after waving a few times at her.
The smile on his face instantly faded. âLil Sis, I just wanted to have lunch with you this aftemoon. Are you up for lunch? Even if you have an existing appointment with a friend, they wouldnât mind if I tagged along, right? I can tag along, right?!â
Jocelyn noticed Abelâs uncharacteristic behavior. She was about to say something when Davis, who was walking beside her, suddenly called out, âPresident Moore!â
Jocelyn turned around with her phone in her hand. She then caught sight of Skyler, who was standing by the side She frowned slightly. She recalled Skylerâs warnings. He had asked her to keep her distance from Abel She said, âIâm sorry, Mi Cain I really canât have a meal with you!â
Abel spoke to her in a cold tone, âIs it because your friend would mind if I tagged along?â
Jocelyn frowned and said, âMi Cain, this has nothing to do with my friend!â
Abel continued pestering her. âDoes that mean that you arenât willing to eat with me instead?â
Jocelyn was put into a difficult position. She did not want to offend Abel.
Abel always had evil intentions behind his smile. Who knew what Abel would do if they ended things on bad terms today?
Jocelyn sighed and said, âMr. Cain, stop making things difficult for me! Is that alright?â
She tried talking to him in a softer tone.
Abel spoke to her in an ambiguous tone, âIâm not making things hard for you. I just wanted to have a meal with you this afternoon. Who dares to say no to me?!â
After speaking, Abel hung up on the call right away. He then walked toward Jocelyn with large strides.
Jocelyn was having a major headache. She was just about to explain things to Davis and Lexie when Skyler spoke up to Davis with a cold expression on his face. âDirector Lang, are you going out for lunch?â
Davis nodded and said, âYes, three of us are going out for lunch!â
Skyler spoke to him coldly, âYou wouldnât mind if I come along, right?â
Davis was stunned. âThisâ¦â
âWhatâs wrong? Do you mind, Director Lang?â Skyler looked at him emotionlessly.
Davis immediately shook his head. âOf course, I donât mind! The more the merrier!â
Jocelyn closed her eyes in exasperation. Yes, it would be more fun if there were more people around. It would be greater fun if they started arguing!
Looking at Skyler, she did not have the mood to think about how Michael had asked her to find a way for Lily to join Prosperity Jewelry by threatening to destroy her motherâs letter She just wished that Skyler and Abel would not start a fight.
However, before she could think of anything, Abel walked toward them.
He looked at Jocelyn with a cheery smile on his face and completely ignored Skyler, who was standing behind her âLil Sis, come on! What do you and your friends feel like having? Iâll treat you all to a meal!â
Jocelyn could not get used to the friendly tone of Abelâs voice. âItâs alright, Mr. Cain. We can pay for our own meals!â
âIn that case, itâs alright if my meal is on you, night?â Abel responded in a natural tone.
Finally, Jocelyn, Lexie, Davis, Skyler, and Abel went to a restaurant. It was an odd combination of people After they ordered their meals, everyone started looking at their phones.
Skylerâs phone rang. He got up to pick up his phone Yale spoke to him in a tensed voice, âPresident Moore, I know the reason why Millie wasnât willing to tell us the truth. Her father is severely ill. She needs money for him to receive treatment. She received 150 thousand dollars in her bank account last Monday. The person who transferred her the funds must be the main culprit!â
âCan we find out who was the person that transferred the funds to her account?â Skyler asked coldly âWeâre still checking. The money was transferred to Millie from a bank in Swinland. The culprit has been hiding well. He doesnât seem to be a normal person!â
âEven if he isnât normal, we must still find out who he is!â Skylerâs voice was as cold as ice.
He hung up on the call. As soon as he turned around, he caught sight of Abel leaning against the wall with an ambiguous smile on his face. He stared at him from a short distance away Skyler frowned in disgust. He walked past him without sparing him a glance.
Abel suddenly grabbed his arm and said, âMoore the Second, even if Jocelyn White is an employee of your company, you should still keep your distance from her!â
Skyler stopped to look at Abel. âLet go of me!â
Abel let go of him in disgust and clapped his hands. âAnyways, I donât want to touch you either!â
Skyler huffed coldly and said, âAbel Cain, you should keep your distance from her instead!â
Skyler left after speaking.
Jocelyn noticed that Abel left not long after Skyler walked away. She was worried that both of them would start fighting, so she walked over to see what was going on.
Nonetheless, Skyler pushed the door open and walked in.
After a while, Abel walked in as well. Jocelyn finally let out a sigh of relief.
Jocelyn ate cautiously after the dishes were served. Abel seemed to be oblivious to Skylerâs glares He kept putting food on Jocelynâs plate.
Jocelyn felt a lump in her throat. âMr. Cain, stop taking food for me. I can eat on my own!â
Abel let out a laugh that did not reach his eyes. âIâm showing my concern for you!â
Skyler looked over coldly without saying anything Just then, Davis suddenly spoke, âWalter Keene is returning to the country!â
Skyler raised his head to glance at Davis insunctively.
When Jocelyn heard his name, she suddenly lost her grip on the utensils in her hands.
A loud clang rang out as her tork and spoon fell onto the ground
