Sam uttered, “Did you have breakfast? I’ll make you something. Come on in and have a seat.”
“Alright. Thank you, Sam,” Luca was quick to reply.
The security team behind Luca said altogether, “Thank you, Sam.”
Abel got dressed into the suit he left in the house the last time and walked downstairs.
He ran into Luca and the other bodyguards who were thanking Sam and elbowing into the house.
“Tell them to grab breakfast in a restaurant. There are nine of you. How much can she cook for all of
you?” Abel pulled a long face.
Sam smiled. “It’s okay. I can cook in batches. It won’t take long.”
Left with no excuse to take it out on his security team, Abel gave a nod.
He instructed Luca, “Why are you standing there? Clean up the place and run a business.”
Getting the message from Abel, Luca beckoned his team. “Mop the floor, wipe the tables, arrange the
chairs, and make coffee.”
The bodyguards rolled up their sleeves and got down to business.
Thanks to the power in numbers, the café was sparkling clean in no time.

customers?”
The bodyguards obediently sat down in order.
They put their sunglasses on the edge of the table rather uniformly.
Abel took a glance at them. Luca had some success with the bodyguards’ training.
It did not take long before the first batch of breakfast was out of the oven. She brought out three plates
on a tray.
Luca immediately went to take the tray from Sam. The first three bodyguards had the honor of having
their breakfast before everybody else.
“Thank you, Sam. Thank you, Luca.”
The three bodyguards dug in.
They each got a poached egg too.
The security team ate with great gusto.
Soon the second and third batches of breakfast were out.
The team of nine enjoyed a nice hot breakfast.
By then, Emmeline was dressed up and ready to go. She hummed a song while walking downstairs.
Emmeline frowned when she saw the situation downstairs. “Sam, are we running a breakfast diner
now? Why are so many having breakfast here?”
“Ms. Louise, it’s us.” Luca urgently jolted up and swallowed the food in his mouth.
Emmeline finally recognized the people. “Oh. Here I was, wondering why you were all wearing the
same clothes. Take your time. I’ll make coffee.”
“I’ll do it. How many cups?” Sam asked.
Emmeline gave it a thought before replying, “Three cups.”
Sam looked at Abel and commented, “Three cups? I don’t drink coffee. Two cups should be enough for
you and Mr. Abel.”
“Mr. Abel? I wasn’t going to get him a cup of coffee.” Emmeline looked askance at Abel.
Abel was lost for words.
Sam pouted her luscious lips. “Why three cups?”
“A cup for me, Benjamin, and Janie. I’m going to the Adelmar Group, remember?” Emmeline answered.
Sam widened her eyes and gave Abel a sympathetic look.
“Girl, did you get dolled up to deliver coffee to Benjamin?” Abel curled his lips bewitchingly.
“None of your business. Who are you?” Emmeline stared at him in disdain.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAbel grimaced. “Who am I? I’m your husband, your man!”
“I don’t have a husband. I’m not married. Don’t act like you’re close to me. I have no man.” Emmeline
pursed her lips.
“Where did your four children come from without a man? I won’t allow you to get too close to
Benjamin.” Abel scowled.
“Why? It’s not like you love me. Who are you to stop other men from showing me affection?” Emmeline
rolled her eyes.
Abel had a vicious look. “Who said I don’t? I said it a hundred times. I love you! I love you! My heart
belongs to you! Can’t you get it to your head?”
Emmeline said nothing, but her heart skipped a beat.
She was blushing too.
Luca and the security team were dumbstruck. They picked their heads up from their plates in shock
and stared at their boss in disbelief.
I love you! I love you! My heart belongs to you…
Was it something that came out of Mr. Abel’s mouth?
Embarrassed, Abel gave a chilling look and sternly uttered, “What are you looking at? Haven’t you
seen a public declaration of love before?”
