Female Novel
Chapter 608
“You big meanie!” Emmeline exclaimed with her head on Abel’s shoulder, cutting off his sentence.
Abel gave a heartwarming smile and held Emmeline tightly.
Suddenly, the phone on his desk started ringing.
Abel picked up the handset.
His secretary’s voice could be heard from the other side, “Mr. Ryker, you have guests. They’re from theMurphy family.”
Abel frowned, “The Murphy family?”
The secretary said, “Yes, sir. It’s Mr. Flynn and Ms. Evelyn Murphy. They said they wish to discussbusiness.”
Abel replied, “Alright. Let them in.”
He then put down the handset and lifted Emmeline up.
“You can take a rest in the break room inside. I have some business matters to discuss.”
“Okay,” Emmeline nodded. She didn’t have the energy to do anything else but that.
Abel took her into the break room and placed her on the bed, then pulled a blanket over her.
Meanwhile, the secretary had just opened the door and invited Flynn and Evelyn inside.
There was a faint sensual atmosphere lingering in the room.
Evelyn felt it especially when she noticed the black handbag sitting on the corner of the desk.
She had seen Emmeline with this bag before.
So the reason for the sensual atmosphere in this room is because her and Abel were…
But where is Emmeline?
Evelyn looked around and ultimately noticed the door to the break room.
Emmeline is probably inside.
Flynn extended his hand courteously towards Abel and said, “Mr. Ryker, I hope this isn’t a bad time?”
“It’s fine,” Abel gestured for them to sit.
There were still beads of sweat on his forehead between the little gaps in his hair. The top two buttonsof his shirt were also open.
To Flynn, this was just a casual look. However to Evelyn, it was a highly seductive look.
The two siblings sat on the sofa on the opposite side of the desk. All the while, Evelyn’s heart waspounding wildly.
Abel asked, “Mr. Murphy, you mentioned you had business to discuss?”
Flynn said, “Yes, so here’s the thing. All this while, our father has been the one handling theagreements between the Murphy Group and the Ryker Group. However, starting this month, Evelyn willbe running point on operations here in Struyria.”
Abel nodded, “Okay, let me get the business manager over and touch base with Ms. Evelyn then.”
Flynn said, “Before that, Evelyn will share with you our new value proposition for the Ryker Group.”
“Sure thing. Please elaborate.”
Evelyn straightened her posture and said, “Mr. Ryker, as a show of our appreciation towards the RykerGroup, the Murphy Group is willing to reduce the supply price of biopharmaceuticals by threepercentage points.”
Abel nodded in satisfaction, “Okay, that’s very good. The Ryker Group tends to buy in bulk. With areduction of three percentage points, we will be able to save a lot of money.”
Evelyn smiled, “The relationship between the Ryker Group and the Murphy Group has always beenmutually beneficial. Hence Mr. Ryker, you and I are nothing short of a dynamic duo.”
Flynn mused, “It is unfortunate Mr. Ryker will be getting married next month. Should our two families belinked by marriage, we will be an unstoppable force in the business world.”
Abel chuckled, “I have always liked to keep my professional and private matters separate. Not tomention, the Ryker Group is developing nicely. I have no need to use marriage as a bargaining chip!”
Evelyn said, “You have a point, Mr. Ryker, but imagine if your future wife is able to help you on thebusiness side of things. Wouldn’t that make it even easier to grow the Ryker Group?”
Abel laughed, “That’s where you’re wrong. My wife is there to be spoiled and loved by me. How could Ipossibly use her as a tool for business?”
“Still, your future wife should be someone of equal status at least. Those peasant women are not fittingfor someone of your stature.”
Abel shot her a cold glance, “Peasant? Who might you be referring to, Ms. Evelyn?”
Evelyn smiled apologetically, “Oh I’m just blabbering. I just think that women from a more commonupbringing are unfitting of the renowned Mr. Abel.”
Abel’s gaze was sharp and cold as he said, “You don’t need to be concerned about that. If that is all,Ms. Evelyn, you should go look for the business manager to sign your contract.”
Evelyn felt a little awkward.
Was Abel annoyed because she was talking too much?novelbin
Suddenly, Flynn’s phone started ringing.
Flynn said, “Excuse me. I need to take this.”
Abel contained his displeasure and said, “Please.”
Flynn answered the call.
Then, something was said to him which caused Flynn’s expression to visibly change.
