The secretary entered the room, pushing the door open with a large bouquet of flowers in his hands.
"Who sent them?" Emmeline inquired, contemplating whether Abel could be the sender. However, she doubted that
he would engage in such superficial gestures.
"There's no name on the card," replied the secretary. "I don't know who sent them."
Emmeline rose from her executive chair and approached to take the flowers.
The secretary, mindful of closing the door, left the room.
The bouquet consisted of vibrant red roses interspersed with sprigs of eustoma. The flowers were beautiful and
pleasing to the eye.
But who would send such conspicuously red roses?
Emmeline reached for her phone, contemplating whether to ask Abel about it. Perhaps he had whimsically ordered
the flowers for her, considering she was working on his behalf that day.
However, before she could dial his number, the phone rang, and an incoming call interrupted her thoughts.
As she read the caller ID, a frown creased Emmeline's forehead.
It was Adam!
Despite her patience wearing thin, Emmeline decided to answer the call.
She said, "What's the matter, Adam?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Did you receive the flowers?" Emmeline immediately wanted to scold him and threw the flowers onto the wall.
"Aren't they beautiful? Women like flowers, especially red roses."
"The flowers are beautiful," Emmeline retorted with a cold snort, "but they should be shared and given to others."
"What do you mean, Emmeline?" Adam responded with a cold snort of his own, "You work hard for Abel, and I sent
the flowers on behalf of Oscar to express gratitude. What's wrong with that?"
"I'm sorry," Emmeline sneered, "I cannot accept this token of kindness, and the flowers are now in the trash."
"If you don't appreciate it, then give them back to me. Why would you throw them away? Are you looking down on
me?"
"I find it rather meaningless," Emmeline sneered, "Did you send them to the wrong person?"
"Emmeline," Adam's voice sounded on the other end, "Did you misunderstand me?"
"Did I?"
Adam chuckled softly, "Here's the deal. Take the flowers and bring them back to me at the Struyria Banquet. I'll be
waiting for you in the King Lounge. Let's have a discussion."
Emmeline was silent.
It was not a bad idea. Confronting Adam face-to-face would resolve any lingering doubts or worries for the future.
"Then wait for me," Emmeline replied coldly, "I'll see you in an hour!"
Adam ended the call, looked at his phone, and chuckled.
"That's what I wanted to hear!"
He had intended to invite Emmeline to dinner and discuss the bidding for the imperial palace. However, he knew
that Emmeline would not agree to it.
He thought it would be better to talk to her about it instead of forcing her to agree with the bidding.
Knowing Emmeline's pride and audacity, she would not back down.
Sure enough, an hour later, Emmeline arrived at the Struyria Banquet, holding the discarded flowers in her hands.
Luca followed closely behind her.
In the midst of the bustling crowd, there stood a tall and handsome figure dressed in black. It was Benjamin.
As Benjamin walked toward the elevator, his gaze inadvertently shifted, and caught sight of a stunning figure in
black and white.
Graceful and elegant, emanating an air of arrogance, it was Emmeline, the eldest daughter of his family.
Benjamin furrowed his eyebrows.
After observing Emmeline, he did not see Abel or Waylon by her side. However, Luca, Abel's special assistant, was
following her.
Benjamin knew that Abel was not in good health, so why did Emmeline suddenly come here? Did she have an
appointment?
Who was she meeting?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBenjamin was about to follow up and inquire when his client called out, "Mr. Benjamin, the elevator is here."
Reluctantly tearing his gaze away, Benjamin entered the elevator with the client.
Later, he took out his phone and messaged Eric, "Miss Louise is here, find out which room she went to."
Eric replied promptly, "Yes, Mr. Benjamin."
Upon exiting the elevator, Benjamin received another message from Eric, "Miss Louise entered the King Lounge,
and it was Adam who reserved the room."
Adam?
Benjamin's frown deepened. That could not be good.
He quickly replied to Eric, "Don't come here, keep an eye on her."
Eric acknowledged, "Yes, Mr. Benjamin."
Turning the corner, Eric headed towards the King Lounge.
Meanwhile, Emmeline reached the entrance of the King Lounge and went inside.
It was a room that had two entrances, one leading to the refreshment area and toilet, while the other led to the
inside where the dining table was located.
Emmeline, holding a messy bunch of flowers, intended to confront Adam and leave.
Who on earth has the time to dine with him?
However, upon entering the room, he discovered that Emmeline had not thrown the flowers away.
Two more people were present in the room.
