Janie,” Emmeline quickly informed Janie, “the Struyria Banquet, five o’clock.”

Janie’s excitement was palpable as she exclaimed, “Wow, Emma! You actually manage to ask Mr. Benjamin out? How did you do it? And what’s your relationship with him? You must be someone special, right?”

“You’re asking a lot of questions!” Emmeline replied, “I’m just a coffee seller who works part-time as a stunt double.”

Janie pouted at the other end of the line and said, “Emma, I’m sorry for what I said to you the other day. Please don’t take it to heart. I

Benjamin would most likely refuse to go out with her.

“I have an emergency, Mr. Benjamin. I took the rest of the day off.”

Benjamin nodded and replied, “Oh, I see. I also have something to

attend to. Feel free to take my elevator if you’re in a rush.”

“Thank you, Mr. Benjamin. Thank you very much!” Janie bowed quickly.
