    Emmeline hesitated, and Albus voice came from the other end of the phone, “It’s me, Albus!”


    “What do you want?” She said coldly.


    I''m sorry about yesterday, he said. Please don’t be angry.


    She hesitated for a moment before saying. I forgot about it. Your family’s issues don’t concern me..


    “I won’t let my mom interfere with us. Albus hurriedly said. I won’t listen to her.”


    Emmeline didn’t know how to respond. Part of her secretly wished he would heed his mother, but what


    about Kimberly’s wishes?


    “Emma, Albus spoke softly, secking her attention. Are you listening


    “…” Emmeline’s tone was somewhat weak. “Um.”


    I''lle find you,” he said. “Where are you?”


    “Don’te. Emmeline quickly responded. “Don’te looking for me!


    Albus was taken aback and asked, “Why? We had nned to get engaged!”

    With over twenty thousand in cash, the weight of it pressed against Emmeline’s hand. She opened her


    handbag and carefully stashed the monry inside, struggling with the tight zipper that seemed on the


    brink. of bursting


    As she headed toward the door, she noticed Luca napping in the car. She honked the horn to wake


    him.


    Startled, Luca asked. “What’s the matter? What’s happening?”


    “We’re leaving Emmeline replied. “Whoa, you can even sleep here.”


    I’m used to it, Luca mumbled. All veteran chauffeurs conk out as soon as the car stops.”


    “Why don’t I see Abel behave like this?


    He shrugged. “Not everyone has Abel’s boundless energy”


    She thought to herself, True, Abel’s vitality is unparalleled.


    “Are we heading back?” Luca checked the time. “Abel is likely to give you a call soon.”


    “I’m going to Altney Steel, Emmeline replied. “Can you take me there?”


    Curious, he inquired, “Why are you going there?”


    “Don’t ask,” she said, grinning. “But don’t let Abel know, or I might just have toin to him and


    deduct your sry!”


    Luca chuckled. “I must remind you, Emma… My employer is Abel, not you, but Luca…. I’ll listen to


    you!”


    Altney Steelprised seven departments, and in the office, there were four desks, but only Albus


    upied one. It seemed everyone else had already left.


    As Emmeline showed up at the office door, radiating vitality and beauty, he was struck by her presence.


    He eagerly weed her, wanting to exchange pleasantries and share a warm embrace. Still, he


    found himself tongue–tied and unsure how to convey his feelings.


    She stepped to the side and delivered her message with a hint of detachment, “I have just a few words


    to say; speak your piece and then go.”


    He promptly pulled out a chair and offered it to her, saying, “Please, have a seat. It’s more


    Emmeline declined the offer, pushing the chair away. “Td prefer to stand, it suits me better.” Sitting


    down would make her feel vulnerable, and she realized for the first time how much security Abel had


    provided. her in her daily life. At this moment, facing Albus alone, she sensed a threat to that protective


    shield.


    Sensing her difort, he offered, “I’ll get you some water. He rushed to the water dispenser, filled a


    paper cup with purified water, and extended it to her.


    Emmeline casually ced the object on the windowsill beside her as she and Albus remained in a


    standoff, separated by a chair.


    Breaking the silence, she inquired, “I want to know who Mr. Jorge is, the one I saw at your house that


    day.”


    Feeling embarrassed, Albus finally replied, “He’s my mom’s…”


    Emmeline interjected, “I don’t care about his identity, but I did notice your mom’s close rtionship with


    him, and your younger brother looks remarkably like him. It seems like your mom is in aplicated


    situation.


    He stated, “Well, my mom informed me that you had hit them with your car the day before. That


    created quite amotion.”


    She sighed. “The problem is, my mother is now misinterpreting the situation. She believes your mom is


    showing bias against me, and it’s hurting her.”


    Albus asked, “Should I talk to Aunt Kimberly and rify things?”
