    “I hope you understand. Abel narrowed his cold eyes and continued, “I only require you to work


    diligently. Don’t ask about anything else.”


    “I… I didn’t mean anything.” na trembled in fear as she called him. “Abe.”


    “Call me Mr. Ryker!”


    “Alright, Mr. Ryker, napletely surrendered.


    “Also,” Abel said as he pointed at his desk, ‘don’t touch any of the papers on my desk. I don’t need you


    to clean up for me!”


    “But, Mr. Ryker,” na took a quick nce at him and continued, “it will be messy if it’s not cleaned


    up.”


    “That’s none of your concern, Abel responded. “I know how to tidy up. Plus, I’ll call the cleaner if


    cleaning is needed.”


    na couldn’t hold back her frustration. However, she quickly put on a sweet smile and said. “Abe…


    Mr. Ryker, let me make you some tea.”


    Abel was toozy to argue further. He waved his hand impatiently while sitting in his chair.


    na didn’t understand the implication of his gesture. She picked up his cup and hurried to the pantry.


    “Hey! That’s Mr. Yendall’s daughter.”


    When na came out of the pantry, she heard the female workers behind her whisper to one another.


    “Didn’t Scott divorce his wife? Weren’t his wife and his daughter supposed to be in Vlens?”


    “They didn’t actually get divorced. They had been fighting for years. I heard that his wife is formidable


    and managed to drive off his prospective second wife.”


    “Yeah, I heard the woman married a director from the Labor Bureau. Only then did Scott give up and


    bring both of them here.”


    “Well, people will only get wiser as their age grows.”


    “Hahaha! You have such a way with words.


    “What do you expect? Herees another one who doesn’t know her ce!”


    The female workers sneered at na while looking at her retreating figure.


    “Yeah, everyone can see that Scott’s power has waned. He’s trying to ensnare Abel with his daughter!”


    “What kind of person is Abel? He’s a ruthless character; he won’t fall for their tricks!”


    “With so many beautiful girls in the factory, not one has ever caught Abel’s a his daughter in this


    manner is nothing short of inviting trouble, isn’t it?”


    “Well, you never know. Proximity begets affection…”


    When na returned to the office, Abel was about to leave.


    Scout’s arrangement of


    “Mr. Ryker, your tea is ready,” she said hurriedly.


    “Leave it there,” Abel said with a cold face. I’m going to the workshop.”


    Before na could react, he strode past her, sweeping out the door with a gust of cold wind.


    Four of the six assembly lines in threerge workshops operated normally, while two were under


    maintenance.


    After the temporary workers wereid off, there were still about 360 people in the four workshops.


    Once the personnel arrangements settled down, the inauguration ceremony could be held next month.


    Abel hoped that day would arrive smoothly because it was a special day for him–it was Emmeline’s


    birthday.


    Entering the first workshop, he remainedposed as he inspected each station.


    Lorren Tobes, the workshop manager in his forties, hurried over and greeted, “Mr. Ryker!”


    Abel nodded in response.


    Then, Lorren gave a polite smile to the person behind Abel.


    Abel turned around in confusion, only to find na behind him!


    “Who asked you to follow me?” His face darkened.


    “I came to learn.” na replied softly. She leaned closer to him while smiling and nodding to the


    workers in the workshop. It was as if she presented hersell as a duti wife.


    Abel couldn’t be bothered to pay her any attention. He turned to Lorren and said, “Inform all the


    workshop managers and quality inspectors to gather in my office for a meeting


    He then turned around and walked away with long strides.


    na followed closely, keeping up with him as they left the workshop.


    Within five or six minutes, all the workshop managers and quality inspectors had arrived at Abel’s. They

    took their seats on the sofa.


    With a stern face, Abel ordered na, “Make some tea”


    “I have made it for you,” na replied.


    “I don’t like that tea,” he said coldly.


    Then, which one should I use?” na then asked anxiously.


    “There’s a shop called Lorrain Tea House on Bridge Road,” Abel said. “They have Benoz there.”


    “Bridge Road is quite far. na hesitated as she continued, “I can ask Luca—”


    “Luca is my chauffeur, not yours,” Abel snapped.


    na’s expression changed as she responded, “Alright then, but it will take about an Tour


    “That’s fine.” He nodded. “Even if it takes the whole day, it’ll be fine.”


    His words caught her aback.
