"Emma, can't you do me a favor? No, can't you do Adrien and me a favor? Please approve my proposal!"

"I said I'm not approving it," Emmeline said. "You've asked the wrong person!"

Emmeline quickly dodged aside.

Adam did not give up. He pounced at her again. "Don't go yet, Emma!"

They did not know when he had come in.

One of the sleeves of his suit jacket was already torn. Adam had torn it in the tussle.

"Benjamin? Why are you here?" Emmeline was surprised.

Benjamin shot a glance at his torn sleeve and said, "I was eating downstairs."
