Chapter 587
“I’m going, and that’s final. Career is more important than men. Plus, I don’t like this guy here,”Emmeline said.
Abel scowled.
Benjamin widened his eyes.
What was going on?
What had gotten into Emma?
Was she not head over heels for Abel?
Why was Emmeline saying that she did not like the man?
While Benjamin was scratching his head, Janie gave him a look.
Benjamin told Emmeline, “Be good now, Emma. Abel is a guest. You should stay with him. I’ll be rightback after the meeting.”
“I want to go with you. I should take part in matters about Adelmar.” Emmeline held Benjamin’s arm.
“Leave the company affairs to Benjamin.” Abel made his presence known by squeezing betweenEmmeline and Benjamin, forcing Emmeline to let go of Benjamin’s arm.
As Emmeline tried to take hold of Benjamin again, Janie was one step ahead at hogging Benjamin’sarm.
“Yeah, Emma. Enjoy your coffee with Mr. Abel. Mr. Benjamin and I will be at the meeting.”
Janie dragged Benjamin out and closed the door behind them.
The pair took quick paces to the secretariat office.
“Janie, what happened? Why are the three of you acting weird?”
Janie repeated the information she got from Abel to Benjamin.
“So you should know better than to get too close to Emma. Don’t let Emma fall in love with you. Sheshares four children with Abel. You can’t tear their family apart.”
Benjamin was peeved. “Why would I tear them apart? But Emma took the Worryfree drug? Where didshe get the drug from?”
“Waylon must have given it to her. That’s the only explanation,” Janie replied.
“Waylon is doing more harm than good!”
Benjamin furiously pulled out his phone. “I’m going to ask him his purpose for giving Emma theWorryfree drug.”
With the call connecting, Waylon’s steady voice came on the other line. “Ben?”
“Waylon, did you give the Worryfree drug to Emma?” Benjamin angrily questioned.
Waylon answered, “Yeah. Why?”
“Why would you give the godforsaken stuff to her?”
Waylon responded, “I felt bad for Emma. Are you expecting Emma to die of a broken heart if Abelnever finds his feelings for her and becomes smitten with another woman?”
Benjamin had no words because Waylon had a point.
Before that could happen, the best course of action Emmeline could take was to wipe away all thefeelings she had for him.
Only then, she would be free from the pain. She could live a happy and healthy life.
“So Abel is in love with someone else? Is that why Emma took the drug?” Waylon asked.
Benjamin replied, “I would thank you if that were the case. The problem now is that Abel is mad aboutEmma again, but for some reason, Emma took the Worryfree drug.”
“So the situation now is Abel loves Emma, but Emma doesn’t care about Abel anymore?” Wayloninquired.
“Yes. What should we do now?” Benjamin responded.novelbin
“When did that happen? How is it possible that Emma has no idea about Abel’s feelings for her? Whywas she so dumb to take the drug?” Waylon frowned.
Benjamin was lost for words.
He had no clue about what took place or how it happened last night.
Benjamin answered, “Hang on, Waylon. I’ll ask Sam for the specifics. I’ll call you back in a bit.”
“Alright. We’ll talk when you find out what’s going on. No point guessing around,” Waylon remarked.
After the call with Waylon, Benjamin dialed Sam’s number.
Sam started weeping.
“That’s right. Mr. Abel said his heart belongs to Ms. Louise, but Ms. Louise didn’t listen to him and tookthe Worryfree drug. There was a strong stench of paprika. I don’t think I can ever forget the smell.”
“Paprika? Is that the smell of the drug?” Benjamin furrowed his brows.
