Chapter 232


    Who the hell can handle this?


    “Please… I really enjoy making design sketches, give me this chance! Can I knock off early today? I’ll


    get to bed early, make up for the sleep I lost yesterday!”


    Seeing her like that, what else could Emmett do but agree? In this world, ra might be the only one


    able to make himpromise.


    Once at the office, ra handled some paperwork, and then Ricardo delivered Emmett’s schedule.


    “Mr. Melendez is going to U-city for an inspection today?”


    “Yes!” Ricardo nodded, “This trip was supposed to happen a few days ago. It’s been postponed so


    many times. But today he must go there.”


    ra tried to probe, “How long will he be gone?”


    “A round trip to U-city will take at least five or six hours!” Ricardo finished speaking and nced at


    ra,ughing, “You won’t be able to haveLambertnch with Mr. Melendez today! But he should be


    back by tonight.”


    “Haha…it’s okay, I’m not that hungry today.”


    “Seeing how lovey-dovey you and Mr. Melendez are really makes me envious!” Ricardo pouted, “It’s a


    pity I’m too busy with work, I don’t have time to find a girlfriend! I’ll have to ask Mr. Melendez for some


    emotionalpensation, or maybe he can introduce me to a girlfriend!”


    raughed, “You don’t know how many women there are around Mr. Melendez?”


    “Right! Seems like that hope is impossible.” Ricardo waved his hand, “I’ll go get busy!”


    “Okay.”

    Watching Ricardo leave, ra took out her phone and dialed Elio Milburn.


    “I should have time in an hour.”


    “Then let’s meet in an hour.” Elio’s voice was very low, seemingly troubled.


    ra was a little worried, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”


    “None.”


    “But your tone is off!” ra bit her lip, “Spill it, I can try to think of a solution! You’ve always helped me,


    give me a chance to help you!”


    Elio chuckled, “Sure, you can leave Emmett and marry me, that’d be helping me!”


    “…Elio, that joke isn’t funny at all.”


    The phone went silent for a few seconds, then he said, “Really? I thought you’d agree! We’re about to


    meet, let’s not talk about this over the phone. I’ve got something going on here, let’s chat when we


    meet.”


    “Alright.”


    After hanging up, ra frowned. She wasn’t sure if it was her intuition or something else, but she felt


    like something was off with Elio today!


    On Elio’s end, after he put down the phone, Leah Calloway handed him a ss of red wine.


    “You’re about to see ra, you must be in a good mood, right?”


    “…I don’t like seeing her this way.” Elio took a sip.


    “Why are you so picky?” Leah scoffed, “You want this woman, but aren’t willing to do whatever it takes!


    Bro, then you can just wallow in your sadness alone!”


    ?


    Elio nced at her before walking away from the window, “Remember your promise! After I take ra


    away, you can’t have any ns for her! If you want Emmett, I won’t stop you, I don’t care how you get


    him, but when ites to ra – you absolutely cannot harm her!”
