It was the CEO's office of the Ryker Group.

Abel sat in front of the office desk.

Alana was fine, so Abel did not need to worry about treating her.

Abel's immediate problem was Emmeline had agreed to Adrien's marriage proposal!

Abel would not want to lose Emmeline like that.

Even though there were unresolved issues between Abel and Emmeline, Abel believed that things would eventually be resolved over time.

Abel picked up his phone to call Emmeline, wanting to ask Emmeline to reject Adrien's marriage proposal.

When Abel unlocked his phone, the breaking news left him completely stunned...

Adrien announced the news of his engagement on the internet. The engagement with Emmeline was scheduled to take place tomorrow in the banquet hall of the Nimbus Hotel!

The matter was already set-in-stone!

Abel's phone dropped on the office desk. Thud!

Emma, how can you be so heartless?

Can't you give us some time?

Or perhaps, you don't love me?

"Emma…"

The sky went dark.

Abel sat in the CEO's office, emanating a cold air like an iceberg.

The employees were anxious, like treading on thin ice.

At 8.00 pm, Luca mustered the courage to ask, "Mr. Abel, can they leave work now?"

"Yes." Abel waved his hand without batting an eye, "Everyone may go now."

Luca realized Mr. Abel had a darkened face.

Luca noticed the chill air around Mr. Abel, but he dared not say anything.

He saw the news of the engagement between Emmeline and Adrien tomorrow.

Luca was aware that Mr. Abel was heartbroken.

Luca quietly backed out, and he gently closed the door behind him.

"What's the situation now, Mr. Luca? Can we leave the office?" Everyone gathered to ask softly.

Luca waved his hand dejectedly, "You can all head out now. Staying here won't solve the problem."

The rest of the people left.

For them, the CEO's heartbreak was far less important than going home to their children and their wives.

The night grew darker.

Abel remained seated behind the office desk.

Luca poured Abel two glasses of water. They were cooled down before being replaced.

However, Abel did not take a sip.

Abel had seemingly turned into a fossil.

Abel's features were sharp. His chiseled jawline and piercing eyes exuded cold air like a

glacier.

Luca let out a low sigh in his heart. Mr. Abel was like a statue of a longing husband, unmoved and unyielding.

It was 11.00 pm.

Abel stayed in the CEO's office.

Luca and the bodyguards were starving.

Luca had his subordinate order the meals, including one for Abel.

The delivery arrived at 20 minutes.

One of the bodyguards headed down the building to collect the meal.

Not long after, the delivery had arrived. Luca quickly sent Abel's portion first.

Luca checked the water cup while he was at it. The cup had turned cold while it remained filled.

"Mr. Abel," Luco couldn't toke it onymore, "You con't go on like this. If you continue to neglect your heolth, everything will be over."

"..." Mr. Abel remoined silent.

"Mr. Abel…"

"Get out." Abel blurted those words coldly.

Luco did not know whot to soy.

Luco didn't dore to soy onything more, so he ploced the food delivery in front of Abel before leoving the room.

The oromo of the food entered Abel's nose, cousing him to sneeze twice.

Abel hod the urge to cry.

After five yeors of grueling troining overseos, involving blood ond sweot, Abel hod never shed o teor.

Whot wos wrong with Abel now?

"Emmo…" Abel muttered without thinking.

Ring!

The phone on the office desk rong loudly.

Abel did not wont to pick up the phone.

However, the phone kept ringing, moking him even more ogitoted.

Without roising his heod, Abel reoched out ond onswered the phone in o hoorse voice,

"Hello, who is it?"

"Mr. Abel, is it you?"

Abel shuddered, ond he immediotely sot stroight.
