The security guard recognized Emma as Abel's wife and bowed at her.
Unlike the one at Adelmar Group, the CEO's exclusive elevator at Ryker Group did not have Emmeline's fingerprint
records. She could only use the regular employee elevator.
She stood in the elevator lobby with the insulated bag in her hands, waiting patiently for the next elevator to arrive.
Suddenly, her phone in her handbag began to ring.
The call was from Abel.
She quickly answered it.
Abel's gentle voice was heard. "Emma, I'll go home soon to pick you up."
"Huh? What for?" Emmeline asked.
"I've just received photos of the latest Bvlgari collection from the distributor, and I think it suits you well. I'll pick you
up and go to the store."
Even though it was a well-known brand, Emmeline was not interested in that.
The only thing on her mind now was whether Abel was hiding something.

Nothing happened between Anthony and me. My conscience is clear.
But Abel seems like he's really bothered.
I can't tell what he's thinking!
"Get changed and wait for me. I'll be back in an hour," Abel said.
"But…" Emmeline gazed at the elevator. "I'm downstairs."
Abel was surprised. "Downstairs? Where?"
"Downstairs at Ryker Group, of course," Emmeline said. "Where else?"
"You're here?" Abel sounded shocked.
"Yes. You left the house without eating breakfast, so I made some for you. I don't want you to starve," Emmeline
said.
"…"
"Hubby, are you listening? Don't tell me you're not at Ryker Group," Emmeline said.
"Wait there for me, Emma. I'll come down right now," Abel said.
I guess I was overthinking. Abel is really here.
In less than two minutes, the doors to the CEO's exclusive elevator opened, and Abel hurriedly ran out.
He arrived in front of Emmeline and hugged her tightly.
"Silly girl! You can't see well yet, so why did you make breakfast for me and come here alone?"
"I didn't drive," Emmeline said with a smile. "The driver sent me here."
"You still shouldn't come here! What happens if you get in danger?"
"But I'm safe now, right?"
Abel could not argue with her. He took the insulated bag in one hand and her hand in the other.
"Go upstairs with me. I'll eat breakfast, then we'll go and buy some diamonds."
"Why are you buying gifts for me all of a sudden? Are you feeling guilty about something you did?" Emmeline asked
mischievously.
"…"
I feel guilty about neglecting you. Does that count?
Of course, he did not say that.

Emmeline smiled but said nothing.
She knew that Abel was only trying to make her happy, which meant that he still cared for her.
They arrived at the 89th floor.
Abel and Emmeline walked toward the CEO's office while the employees watched on enviously.
Abel opened the bag, and a tantalizing fragrance filled his nostrils.
"Wow! This smells great! I'm hungry already!" Abel said happily.
He had to admit that Emmeline was a good cook.
They removed the items from the bag and spread them across the table.
"Wow! The food looks amazing too! I think you can be a chef at Nimbus Hotel!" Abel said.
"You should eat more then," Emmeline said as she regarded her husband with a smile.
Even though she could not see that well, and his face was a blur, she could tell that his face was as charming as
usual.
However…
The past trauma of Anthony Green reared its ugly head again.
If Abel doesn't think that I did anything with Anthony, why is he keeping his distance from me?
