Chapter 1370 Business Plan
“I just don’t.” Emmeline furrowed her eyebrows lightly.
“But you can’t stay like this either,” Benjamin said. “It’s getting dark.”
“Either way, don’t tell Abel. Please,” Emmeline pleaded with teary eyes..
Tony and Benjamin exchanged glances, not fully understanding the situation, but decided not to pressfurther.
“Benjamin, you take Emmeline to the guesthouse and find some clothes for her to change into,” Tonysaid. Benjamin drove his inspection vehicle and brought Emmeline to the nearby TransportGuesthouse.
In the lobby, they encountered a tall, slender girl dressed in a Transport uniform. Her hair was tied up,and she had a pretty face with delicate features.
“Who’s this, Captain York? Who did you bring here?” The girl’s tone was clearly unfriendly.
“Janie, don’t be nosy,” Benjamin said. “She’s a friend’s younger sister, and I need you to look after her.”
“So, she’s your sister?” Janie Eastwood quirked a brow. You seem to have a lot of sisters. Am I one ofthem?”
“Enough yapping. Will you help or not?”
“I’ll help! I’m just teasing you.” Janie rolled her eyes. “I didn’t say I won’t help, did I? Look at how pitifulshe seems.
“Get a room for her, let her take a hot bath, and change into your uniform.”
“Alright! If it’s Captain York’s orders, I’ll do it!” Janie showed a lot of respect for this formidableinspection team captain.
Janie led Emmeline to the innermost room in the hallway, then said courteously, “There’s hot water inthe bathroom; you can take a shower first. I’ll fetch a fresh uniform for you, and you can change later.”
“Alright, thank you,” Emmeline replied with a faint smile.
Janie also smiled, revealing her two sweet dimples. D
Emmeline took a hot shower and changed into the Transport uniform that Janie had brought her.
Although the uniform pants were a bit long and the short-sleeved shirt was somewhat oversized, thecomfort and warmth it provided made Emmeline feel much better.
Meanwhile, Benjamin was still waiting in the lobby.
When Emmeline came out in her new clothes, he said, “Tony has prepared dinner in his office. Let’s goover for a meal.”
“Is this not too much trouble?” Emmeline felt a bit embarrassed.
“We’re all friends; there’s no trouble at all. Your brother even saved Tony once,” Benjamin reassuredher.
As they were about to leave, Janie called out, “Benjamin.”
He turned around.
“Is she really your friend’s sister?”
“Yes.”
“Not your girlfriend?”
“No.”
Finally, the young woman’s complexion changed for the better.
They drove back to RetroWave Advertisements, and indeed, Tony had set up a table full of food anddrinks.
The rain outside had seemingly lessened a bit, and it was already around 8 p.m.
Tony couldn’t help but express his gratitude once again for Abel’s help last time.
Emmeline asked him, “How’s your injury? Is it better now?”
“It’s all good now,” Tony said. “I had a follow-up X-ray a few days ago, and the bones have healed well.But the doctor did advise me not to put too much weight on it for a while and to use crutches for sometime.”novelbin
“Tony said, when he’s finally crutches-free, he wants to find a nice hotel and properly thank you andAbel,” Benjamin said.
“It’s all in the past. You don’t have to go that far.” Emmeline smiled.
“But Emmeline, how did you end up at the bus stop today? Were you stuck because of the rain?” Tonyasked.
Emmeline’s nose tingled, and tears almost welled up in her eyes. She lowered her head and remainedsilent.
“What about Abel? Doesn’t he know you’re here?” Benjamin pressed on, leading Tony to kick himunder the table.
“It’s alright, Emmeline. Abel’s sister is also my sister!” Tony pronounced. “If your brother can’t make it,I’ll take care of you.”
Emmeline nodded and smiled politely, pressing her lips together.
A paper covered in writing was blown by the fan and fell by her feet. Emmeline picked it up, and it read:Proposal for the Advertising Renovation of the Department Store.
Emmeline quickly skimmed through the contents and then said softly. “The proposal should highlightthe objectives, suggest methods, summarize the benefits, list the materials, and calculate the budget.”
Emmeline, you understand proposal writing?” Tony looked surprised.
“I took a course in advertising during any college years as part of my business management major.”Emmeline replied.
Tony looked pleasantly surprised. “You’re like a godsend! The storm brought me Lady Luck!” Emmelinelaughed. “What are you talking about, Tony? I don’t understand.”
