“But Mr. Ryker,” Emmeline said, “the car should be fixed by now. You can have Luca send the bill to me. I have no shortage of money.”

“I don’t either, so let’s not worry about it,” he replied.

“It’s not a small amount, a few hundred thousand at most,” Emmeline insisted.

“It’s nothing, really,” Abel said dismissively.

“Then how about this,” Emmeline suggested. “I’ll take Mr. Ryker out to dinner to make up for it. It’ll make me feel better.”

Abel considered for a moment before nodding his agreement. “That sounds fine.”

“I can invite some friends of Mr. Ryker’s too,” Emmeline offered. “The more the merrier, right?”

Abel wondered who to invite.

“Mr. Ryker, pick a time,” Emmeline said on the other end of the line. “I’m available anytime.”

“How about today at noon?” Abel suggested. “I don’t feel like being at home.”

Emmeline knew Abel wanted to avoid Evelyn.

“Sure, I’m free at noon too,” she replied.

“Let’s go to Nimbus Hotel then, how does that sound to you?” Abel proposed.

“That sounds great,” Emmeline said. “I’ll be there in a bit.”
