Chapter 1017 Pursuing a Woman with the Determination of Building a Business

"I've sent you my location," Emmeline said, her hand gripping the steering wheel as she drove. "I'm on my way, should be there in twenty minutes."

"Alright," Abel replied. "I'll be downstairs."

Eighteen minutes later, Emmeline entered the private room of the bar where Benjamin was waiting. The room was dimly lit, and he sat alone on the sofa, sipping his drink.

However, it was evident that he hadn't consumed much alcohol.

Benjamin was a disciplined man, even stringent with himself when it came to self-control.

Coming to this environment was merely his way of seeking solace when feeling down, not an invitation for a drinking spree.

"Ben," Emmeline sat on the sofa opposite him, "What's going on between you and Janie?"

Benjamin picked up the cocktail in front of him and, with a strained voice, said, "I thought I wouldn't care, but this morning, I couldn't focus on anything. My mind was restless."

"Emma, tell me, have I fallen in love with Janie?"

Emmeline felt a sense of delight within her, but she maintained a nonchalant expression. "Well, you're probably just not used to her not being by your side."

"It's not that," Benjamin replied. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so distracted during work."

"In that case, you need to ask yourself," Emmeline said, "When it comes to falling in love with someone, only you can truly know."

Benjamin chuckled bitterly. "Except for you, I thought I wouldn't love again. But Janie, she somehow managed to make my heart ache."

"That settles it," Emmeline said. "If I were you, I'd go to Falmouth and find her."

"She's already blocked me," Benjamin sighed. "I can't muster up the audacity for that."

"You're so useless!" Abel's voice came from the doorway. "When it comes to pursuing a woman, do you care about your pride?"

"Abel?" Benjamin raised his gaze and looked at Abel with a wry smile. "Perfect timing. I need to learn from you."

"Why beat around the bush?" Abel sat down, put his arm around Emmeline's shoulder, and said, "Just like when I pursued Emma, I wasn't afraid of embarrassment. I rented a room from her and even shamelessly went upstairs to eat her food. You need to have that kind of determination!"

Emmeline clenched her fist at Abel. Damn it, he's only telling the truth now. It turns out he had it all planned from the beginning!

But Benjamin laughed, "I never expected Mr. Abel to go to such lengths to pursue Emma."

"When it comes to pursuing a woman, you need to have the determination to build a career," Abel said. "Otherwise, no matter how great the woman is, someone more ambitious will win her over."

As Abel spoke, Harold's image flashed before Benjamin's eyes. Would that man be more driven than him?

He probably would be, because Benjamin had never put in the effort himself.

No wonder Janie ran away as soon as she encountered Harold.

"So, you mean..." Benjamin looked up at Abel, "I should go after her in Falmouth?"

"At the very least, give her a call," Abel said. "You've been keeping it all to yourself, wallowing in pain. It's pointless."

"But she's blocked me," Benjamin sheepishly narrowed his eyes.
