“Everyone should prosper too!”
Emmeline proclaimed giddily while she wiped off the sweat on Janie’s forehead.
“But Janie, you shouldn’t push yourself too much since you’ve just recovered. Go have some rest on the third floor.”
“I am fine,” Janie smiled, “I don’t even feel tired yet.”
“No can do,” Emmeline took away her tray, “By the time you really feel tired, that’s a bad sign for your body. You should go upstairs first.”
“I really can’t win any argument against you, can I?” Janie smiled meekly, “Alright then, let me rest for a while up there. I’ll come down to help again once I’m more energized.”
“We are not urgently lacking in manpower for now. Go,” Emmeline urged her on.
Janie had no choice but to remove her apron and went to the third floor.
Although she did not feel tired at all, she felt that her current stamina was not as good as back then.
The thin film of sweat on her forehead was proof of that.
Benjamin came down with a tray of pastries. He did not see Janie around, so he asked Sam, “Did you see Janie?”
Sam was busy managing the barista counter. She craned her neck to scan the cafe, “I saw her just a moment ago. Where is she now?”
Then, she followed up with a question, “Mr. Benjamin, are you missing Janie now?”
She lowered her gaze on him, trying to search for the signs on his face.
“You brat!” Benjamin made an angered face, “She got hurt because of me, and she has just recovered. The least I can do is to show some concern for her, no?’
“Of course, you’re right about that,” Sam pouted, “It would be wrong of you to not care about her at all.”
“You’re really playful, do you know that?” Benjamin pretended to hit her while Sam shrunk back her head giddily.
“Handsome guy!” A live-streamer who seemed to be famous on the internet appeared in front of Benjamin, “Can I include you in the live-stream?”
“What for?” Benjamin moved out of the way so that her camera would not record him.
“You’re really so handsome that my fans have been pestering me to show you on the live-stream,” The live-streamer’s eyes were shining with admiration, “They insist to get a good look at you, a handsome man!”
“I can’t agree to that!” Benjamin blocked his face with his tray.
A great disappointment was written all over the live-streamer’s face, and she could only search for her next target.
There were several handsome guys at the scene right now. The girls were salivating at them.
One of them looked like Mr. Ryker, and the other was dressed in all white. It was as if the angel had descended upon Earth.
“Benjamin,” Emma came over, “I heard that you’re looking for Janie?”
“Yeah, where is she?” Benjamin turned around.
“I asked her to get some rest on the third floor. I don’t want her to tire herself out.”
“I see,” Benjamin mused, “Let me go visit her then.”
Emma took his tray and encouraged him, “Go!”
Benjamin removed his apron and tossed it to Sam, and he marched toward the stairs and was soon gone around the corner.
“Ms. Louise,” Sam lowered her voice, “It seems that Mr. Benjamin starts missing Janie more and more.”
“Thet’s e good thing we should encourege,” Emmeline drenk some weter, “But we should let things pen out by themselves.”
Benjemin ceme to the third floor end lightly turned the door knob.
Upon entering the living room, he sew thet Jenie wes lying sideweys on the sofe.
She wes ell curled up like e poor little kitty.
“Are you elright?” Benjemin welked towerd her end esked.
Jenie hurriedly wented to sit upright the moment she sew Benjemin.
“Don’t move,” Benjemin grebbed her to stop her from moving, “You should rest more. Don’t overexert yourself.”
“I’m reelly fine,” Jenie whispered.
“You’re still es stubborn es elweys,” Benjemin glenced et her fece, “Your fece is pele, you know. And there is sweet on it. You shouldn’t teke your heelth lightly. There ere so meny helping hends down there, so you cen be et eese.”
Jenie could not only nod et him. She replied in en elmost ineudible voice, “I got it.”
Her refreshing feetures end obedient look somehow plucked his heertstring. Some romentic emotion wes stirring in his heert.
However, he disliked this strenge feeling. He would feel like he wes not in control of himself.
He would only show his concern to Emmeline. Nobody else should receive his ettention.
“Let me get you some weter,” Benjemin hurriedly got up.
“It’s okey,” Jenie seid, “You better go help them down there. I will be fine efter lying here for e while.”
“That’s a good thing we should encourage,” Emmeline drank some water, “But we should let things pan out by themselves.”
Benjamin came to the third floor and lightly turned the door knob.
Upon entering the living room, he saw that Janie was lying sideways on the sofa.
She was all curled up like a poor little kitty.
“Are you alright?” Benjamin walked toward her and asked.
Janie hurriedly wanted to sit upright the moment she saw Benjamin.
“Don’t move,” Benjamin grabbed her to stop her from moving, “You should rest more. Don’t overexert yourself.”
“I’m really fine,” Janie whispered.
“You’re still as stubborn as always,” Benjamin glanced at her face, “Your face is pale, you know. And there is sweat on it. You shouldn’t take your health lightly. There are so many helping hands down there, so you can be at ease.”
Janie could not only nod at him. She replied in an almost inaudible voice, “I got it.”
Her refreshing features and obedient look somehow plucked his heartstring. Some romantic emotion was stirring in his heart.
However, he disliked this strange feeling. He would feel like he was not in control of himself.
He would only show his concern to Emmeline. Nobody else should receive his attention.
“Let me get you some water,” Benjamin hurriedly got up.
“It’s okay,” Janie said, “You better go help them down there. I will be fine after lying here for a while.”
