“Abel,” Rosaline was on the other side of the phone; she asked, “Will you be back for lunch?”

“I’ll eat in the company,” he answered. “There is too much work to be done; I can’t rush back and forth.”

“Oh, er…” She sounded hesitant.

“You don’t have to wait for me.” He hung up the phone. He knew that Evelyn was still waiting for him back there. He felt troubled thinking of her.

Someone knocked on his door. “Come in.” He said it without looking up. He expected some of the executives to be here to report on their work. There have been more than twenty people coming into his office since this morning.

“Abel?” Someone said it faintly.

He looked up and saw Benjamin; he was so much slimmer, but he looked energetic.

“Benjamin?” He was surprised. “Please come in to have a seat.”

Benjamin sat on the sofa right opposite him, and he asked his secretary to make them some tea.

“Why are you here?” He asked.

“One of my steel businesses,” Benjamin said with a faint smile, “was taken by you.”

“Oh,” Abel said, “I didn’t know about it.” Before Benjamin could reply, he continued to say, “My subordinate told me that Aldemar’s company snatched one of our medicine businesses this morning.”

“Ha, ha. It seems like we’re the same.” Benjamin said, “I’m not here for this.”

“Then?” Abel put his pen down and looked at him curiously.

“I felt uneasy,” He pinched his bridge of the nose, and he said, “And I realized I can only talk openly with you.”

“What do you want to say?” Abel smiled faintly and said, “I’m all ears.”

“How’s your stomach?” He asked.

“Well,” Abel nodded his head and said, “the medicine from your family is magical.”

“So…” Benjamin stared at his eyes and asked, “All your feelings for Emmeline were gone.”

Abel frowned and asked, “Benjamin, what are you talking about?” “Since when have I had feelings for her?”

Benjamin sighed and shook his head. “Just pretend I never asked about it.”

“You’re so strange.” Abel said, “You’re making it sound like I’ve done something wrong to Emmeline. You can’t force yourself to love someone, just like you and Janie.”

“Janie and I?” He smirked and said, “I’m trying to develop feelings for her.”

“How is it working so far?” Abel snorted.

Benjamin shook his head.

“And you dare to make fun of me?” He sneered, “Just like you and her, I won’t fall for Emmeline too.”

“But the two of you are different,” Benjamin said. “Did you forget you two have four children together?”

“I was being tricked back then!” His face turned cold. “Alana drugged me, but I ended up having sex with Emmeline. I’m sorry for what happened, and I did everything I could for her. I just wouldn’t fall for her! It’s impossible!”

Impossible? You totally forgot how you were all over her. If it weren’t for Waylon’s drug, you would definitely die for her! But now…

“Why did you suddenly talk about this?” Abel asked, “Are you too bored?”

“Of course not,” He stared at Abel, and he said, “I want to tell you…”

He suddenly changed his mind and said, “Just forget it!” “It’s useless telling you!”

“Forget about what?” What’s useless?” Abel frowned and asked, “What’s making you hesitant?”

“I’m saying that; everything’s too late now,” Benjamin said regrettably. “No one would have thought that…”

“Benjamin,” Abel asked, “what are you trying to say?”
