"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 the Murphy family. " Abel frowned, "The Murphy family?" The secretary said, "Yes, sir. It's Mr. Flynn and Ms. Evelyn Murphy. They said they wish to discuss business. " 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.

Who might you be referring to, Ms. Evelyn?" Evelyn smiled apologetically, "Oh I'm just blabbering. I just think that women from a more common upbringing 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? Suddenly, Flynn's phone started ringing. Flynn said, "Excuse me. I need to take this.
