Chapter 613


    “Yep,” said Benjamin. “I have the contract right here. Just bring your stamp over.”


    Abel checked the time. Hm, Em needs some time to straighten herself out. “We’ll be there in an hour


    and a half.”


    “Sure thing,” said Benjamin. “I’m at Adelmar’s golf court.”


    “Ah, I’m up for a match.” Abel smiled.


    “It’s my honor.” Benjamin smiled as well.


    And then the call ended. Emmeline heard it. She guessed it must have been from Benjamin. So the


    Murphys are there. She left the room and wrapped her arms around Abel. “Evelyn and her brother told


    him to call you?”


    “More than likely,” said Abel. “He wouldn’t have called otherwise.”


    “Guess we should meet up with them, then.” Emmeline pouted. “I’d love to see the look on Evelyn’s


    face.”


    Abel turned around and hugged her. “Kendra’s preparing a fresh set of clothes for you. You can’t wear


    this dress now.”


    Emmeline blushed. The dress was soiled, so of course she couldn’t wear it. “I’ll tell Kendra what I’d like


    to wear,” she said.

    “That works too.” Abel patted her head. “I’ll be waiting.”


    Emmeline went back to the room and called Kendra. “Get me the tracksuit. The one with a red skirt.”


    Kendra was holding her phone in one hand and rummaging through the closet with the other. “Oh, got


    it. I’ll snap a pic.”


    “Thanks.” Emmeline ended the call. A momentter, Kendra sent her a picture. She clicked into it and


    confirmed that that was the set she wanted. Then she texted, ‘Get me a pair of socks and sneakers as


    well. Yeah, this is the set I want.’


    Kendra texted back, ‘Of course, Ms. Louise. I’ll grab some skincare products too.’


    Emmeline put down her phone, and then Luca came in holding two cups of coffee. Emmeline and Abel


    had forgotten about him, and Luca thought it was odd they were staring at them. “Am Ite for


    something, sir?”


    “No,” said Abel. “We were just about to leave.”


    “Good to hear.” Luca heaved a sigh of relief. “Here’s the coffee you wanted, madam.”


    “So did you help Sam with her business?” That’s the whole point I sent him.


    Luca had a sheepish look on his face, and he scratched his head. He didn’t just help her with business;


    he also gave her a bouquet, and she even kissed him. He could feel the taste of her lips on his. Yes, he


    hadn’t wiped it off just yet. And he nodded timidly.


    Ah ha. So it’s done. Emmeline smiled.


    Half an hourter, Kendra came bearing clothes and skincare. Emmeline washed herself up and


    changed into the new clothes. She then tied her hair up into a ponytail, and it made her look younger.


    Abel changed into a ck tracksuit. He looked cool and lively in it. Half an hourter, they came to the


    golf court. Benjamin and Flynn came to wee them.


    Janie waved as well. “The gang’s all here!”


    Emmeline cocked her eyebrow and looked at Evelyn, who was fidgeting under the parasol, and she


    sneered.


    Abel and Benjamin went for a game, while Emmeline and Janie went to get some shade. “Ah, you’re


    here too, Ms. Murphy?” She pretended to be surprised.


    Evelyn said nothing, but she looked cold and distant. She wasn’t sure if Emmeline was the one bigwig


    she crossed. No matter how she cut it, Emmeline was just a regr woman. Still she said, “Emma,


    we’re friends. Can you help me out? Tell Benjamin to stoping down on us.”


    “I can’t tell Benjamin what to do.” Emmeline smiled. “You’re overestimating my power, Ms. Murphy.”


    I don’t care about you. I just need to use you.
