"I'm going, and that's final. Career is more important than men. Plus, I don't like this guy here," Emmeline said.

Abel scowled.

Benjamin widened his eyes.

What was going on?

What had gotten into Emma?

Was she not head over heels for Abel?

Why was Emmeline saying that she did not like the man?

While Benjamin was scratching his head, Janie gave him a look.

Benjamin told Emmeline, "Be good now, Emma. Abel is a guest. You should stay with him. I'll be right back after the meeting."

"I want to go with you. I should take part in matters about Adelmar." Emmeline held Benjamin's arm.

"Leave the company affairs to Benjamin." Abel made his presence known by squeezing between Emmeline and Benjamin, forcing Emmeline to let go of Benjamin's arm.

As Emmeline tried to take hold of Benjamin again, Janie was one step ahead at hogging Benjamin's arm.

"Yeah, Emma. Enjoy your coffee with Mr. Abel. Mr. Benjamin and I will be at the meeting."

Janie dragged Benjamin out and closed the door behind them.

The pair took quick paces to the secretariat office.

"Janie, what happened? Why are the three of you acting weird?"

Janie repeated the information she got from Abel to Benjamin.

"So you should know better than to get too close to Emma. Don't let Emma fall in love with you. She shares four children with Abel. You can't tear their family apart."

Benjamin was peeved. "Why would I tear them apart? But Emma took the Worryfree drug? Where did she get the drug from?"

"Waylon must have given it to her. That's the only explanation," Janie replied.

"Waylon is doing more harm than good!"

Benjamin furiously pulled out his phone. "I'm going to ask him his purpose for giving Emma the Worryfree drug."

With the call connecting, Waylon's steady voice came on the other line. "Ben?"

"Waylon, did you give the Worryfree drug to Emma?" Benjamin angrily questioned.

Waylon answered, "Yeah. Why?"

"Why would you give the godforsaken stuff to her?"

Waylon responded, "I felt bad for Emma. Are you expecting Emma to die of a broken heart if Abel never finds his feelings for her and becomes smitten with another woman?"

Benjamin had no words because Waylon had a point.

Before that could happen, the best course of action Emmeline could take was to wipe away all the feelings she had for him.

Only then, she would be free from the pain. She could live a happy and healthy life.
