"Yes, he was so good in bed. I was exhausted by him; my body was completely sore!"
"Congratulations! The next step is to be pregnant; then you will have the biggest insurance of all!"
"Please immediately make an arrangement for me; find someone young and handsome like Abel!" Alana requested.
"Of course, the male workers from the Imperial Palace were charming. I'm drooling at just the thought of them!" Alondra said.
The Imperial Palace was famous in Struyria; all the male workers were extremely handsome.
"Stop thinking about it first. Let the brat out; since I've achieved my goal, let's reduce the uncertainty!"
"We should get the money from the Ryker family first! It's a lot of money!" Alondra replied.
"You better handle it properly; we'll be doomed with any mistakes!"
"You don't have to worry!" Alondra hung up the phone.
Alondra called Alana in less than three minutes.
"Auntie Alondra, what's wrong?" Alana was nervous as she was up against Abel.
"Alana, our plan is ruined! The brat was being rescued by the police. We lost the ransom!" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Alana was shocked. She paused and responded, "Ransom is not the main point; did the kidnappers sell us out?"
"No, they didn't. I wouldn't be able to contact them if they did. All of them managed to run away."
"Then it's alright. You should stop communicating with them; Abel might find out what we did if you continued to be in touch with them."
"Okay, I understand! I will throw this mobile phone away!" Alondra said.
"Ms. Louise, we provide Mr. Campbell the lead, and they successfully rescue Timothy." Benjamin told Emmeline over the phone.
"I know that I can count on you all; I'll double this month's bonus for all of you." Emmeline was glad to hear the news.
"Thank you, Ms. Louise. There's one more piece of good news for you."
"What is it about? Tell me!" Emmeline was curious.
"You will know when you're here." Benjamin laughed and hung up on her.
I'll know once I'm there?
It seems like Benjamin is waiting for me at the Adelmar building.
I guess I'll go since it's not far away.
I bought this building at first because it was near the Adelmar Group.
Emmeline was going to the public parking lot to get her car. She suddenly realized she hadn't ridden her newly purchased second-hand electric bicycle.
I guess I'll ride my electric bicycle.
Benjamin did his job well all the time; he even prepared a helmet for Emmeline.
Emmeline changed into gray sportswear, and she put on the helmet. She rode an electric bicycle to the Adelmar Group.
She parked her vehicle in Adelmar Square, and then she walked toward the ninety-story building.
As soon as she entered the lobby, the female receptionist at the front desk stopped her and asked rudely, "What are you doing?"
Emmeline was startled.
"Food delivery men are not allowed into the building. Get out from here; you're dirtying our crystal- made floor!" The receptionist shooed Emmeline away.
Emmeline glanced down through her helmet.
She looked at the reflection from the floor, and she then realized that she was dressed like a delivery man. The floor also clearly reflected the rude receptionist's finger pointing at her.
Ha! I chose this floor last time and didn't know it could reflect people's behavior.
"Why is the delivery man not allowed?"
Emmeline recalled that she was barely here; she usually went straight to the ninetieth floor from the exclusive elevator.
No one knew her at all, except for Benjamin.
She was totally looked down on by the receptionist dressed like this.
"Who are you looking for? I'll make an announcement for you. You're stinking with sweat; you should wait outside to avoid polluting our lobby!" The receptionist was arrogant.
Emmeline raised her arms and smelled herself.
I'm sweaty?
Is she being serious?
I smell so good!
I'm even wearing branded clothes!
"I'm looking for Benjamin; please ask him to meet me downstairs!"
"Ha, ha, ha!" The receptionist burst into laughter.
