Chapter 158 Help Me Ask Mr. Benjamin Out
“I’m so silly,” Emmeline exclaimed as she smacked her own head. “I completely forgot about that.”
“I think that’s enough, Ms. Louise,” Daisy advised her, “I can see that Mr. Abel looks haggard.”
“That’s because he was keeping Alana company at the hospital,” Emmeline explained. However, shequickly grew angry and added, “Anyway, it’s none of your business. Go do your own thing.”
Daisy let out a soft sigh and went downstairs.
Emmeline brought the ointment back to her room, lay on the sofa, and stared at it.
Abel had actually planned to come and apply ointment on her.
He was unaware that she had already fully recovered after using her own secret formula.
Despite everything, she still felt a bit thankful because he was still thinking about her.
With that, Emmeline stowed the ointment away in the drawer.
Emmeline sent the triplets to kindergarten the next morning before heading to the filming studios towork as a stunt double.
Janie came by unexpectedly again, but the visit was different from yesterday.
With a big smile on her face, Janie stood in front of Emmeline, holding a large bouquet of flowers.
Emmeline was aware that the reason she approached her was because of Benjamin. As such, shegave her a once-over.
Although this girl wielded a commanding presence, she maintained a pristine appearance and seemedlike a good girl.
The powerful aura she exuded was likely a learned behavior honed through her professionalendeavors. For to attain such a lofty rank at such a tender age was no small feat.
Emmeline thought that Janie and Benjamin would make a good couple.
Janie presented the flowers to Emmeline with a charming smile, remarking, “These are for you, Emma.Aren’t they lovely?”
Emmeline, dressed in a warrior costume and holding a spear, shook her head and said, “This generalonly likes manly things, not girly stuff!”
“Oh, all right.” Janie reluctantly returned the flowers to her grasp before tenderly entwining her otherarm with Emmeline’s.
“Hey, Emma, since we’re best friends, can I ask you for a favor?”
Emmeline mused, “Well, as the saying goes, ‘don’t bite the hand that feeds you.'”
Emmeline responded, “What’s the matter? Go ahead and tell me.”
“Well, it’s like this,” Janie said as she leaned in towards Emmeline, “I was wondering if you could helpme invite Mr. Benjamin out for a meal.”
It was as she had expected.
Emmeline intentionally made things difficult for Janie and replied, “Why don’t you just ask himyourself?”
Janie looked embarrassed as she said, “The point is, Mr. Benjamin won’t give me a chance. He alwaystreats me coldly. Please help me, Emma.”
Emmeline inclined her head in contemplation.novelbin
If she were to invite Benjamin to have a meal together, it would fulfill his desire. However, if she were toinclude Janie in the invitation, what would be Benjamin’s reaction?
“Emma, tell me, can you do it?” Janie implored, shaking Emmeline’s arm.
The shaking was so intense that the red tassel on her helmet started to quiver.
“Emma, it’s your turn!” Simon shouted to her from outside.
“I’m on my way!”
Emmeline didn’t have an answer in mind yet, so she agreed to Simon’s request for the time being.
When she saw that Emmeline was about to leave, she hugged her arm again and acted cute, saying,“Emma, pretty please.”
“Okay, fine,” Emmeline conceded, pulling her arm away. “I’ll figure it out and see how I can assist inarranging a date.”
“Really?” Janie exclaimed in excitement, jumping up with joy.
“Yes, really!” Emmeline exclaimed as she grabbed her spear and hastened off to “go into battle.”
Once all the martial arts scenes for the day had been filmed, Emmeline phoned Benjamin.
Upon hearing Emmeline’s invitation to grab a bite to eat, Benjamin murmured softly into the phone,“Ms. Louise, please tell me straightforwardly, are you planning something sketchy against me?”
Emmeline emitted a “pfft” sound before erupting into laughter, admitting, “I knew I couldn’t hide it fromyou.”
“So, I was correct in my assumption?” Benjamin said sadly, “Miss Louise, what exactly are you trying todo to me?”
“Don’t worry, it’s something good,” Emmeline reassured him. “It’s definitely a positive thing!”
“If it were something positive, you wouldn’t have invited me out to eat,” Benjamin retorted with a coldsnort. “Who are you trying to fool? Do you really think I don’t know you?”
Emmeline was momentarily speechless. Annoyed, she retorted, “So, Benjamin, is that a yes or a no?It’s just a meal. What could I possibly do to you?”
“I wish you would do something to me,” Benjamin thought to himself, “But would you be willing?”
“Ms. Louise’s wish is my command,” Benjamin said helplessly. “I’ll go, but where?”
“Hmm, let me think.” Emmeline pondered for a moment before suggesting, “How about the StruyriaBanquet?”
“That’s not a bad idea,” Benjamin agreed. “They serve the best traditional Struyria food there.”
“It’s settled then,” Emmeline said, adding, “See you at five.”
“Do you want me to pick you up?” Benjamin hastily added.
“Beep, beep, beep.” Emmeline had already hung up the phone.
