“I hope you understand. Abel narrowed his cold eyes and continued, “I only require you to work diligently. Don’t ask about anything else.”

“I… I didn’t mean anything.” Alana trembled in fear as she called him. “Abe.”

“Call me Mr. Ryker!”

“Alright, Mr. Ryker, Alana completely surrendered.

“Also,” Abel said as he pointed at his desk, ‘don’t touch any of the papers on my desk. I don’t need you to clean up for me!”

“But, Mr. Ryker,” Alana took a quick glance at him and continued, “it will be messy if it’s not cleaned up.”

“That’s none of your concern, Abel responded. “I know how to tidy up. Plus, I’ll call the cleaner if cleaning is needed.”

Alana couldn’t hold back her frustration. However, she quickly put on a sweet smile and said. “Abe… Mr. Ryker, let me make you some tea.”

Abel was too lazy to argue further. He waved his hand impatiently while sitting in his chair.

Alana didn’t understand the implication of his gesture. She picked up his cup and hurried to the pantry.

“Hey! That’s Mr. Yendall’s daughter.”

When Alana came out of the pantry, she heard the female workers behind her whisper to one another.

“Didn’t Scott divorce his wife? Weren’t his wife and his daughter supposed to be in Vlens?”

“They didn’t actually get divorced. They had been fighting for years. I heard that his wife is formidable and managed to drive off his prospective second wife.”
