Ambush of the Quadruplets

Chapter 1402 Taking the Plunge Together

The next morning, Emmeline accompanied Maxwell and Kimberly to the long–distance bus station.

As she watched the bus slowly depart from the station and merge into the traffic, Emmeline hailed a

taxi and headed home.

Upon arriving home, she dialed Abel’s number..

“Abel, I won’t be going to RetroWave Advertisements today, so you don’t have to come pick me up in

the afternoon.”

“Alright, what about your dad and mom? Abel asked. “Have they already left?”

“Yes, I dropped them off at the station. I just got back home. Abel, why don’t you come back for lunch?

We can have pasta together.”

I’m still in Pinemount, Abel replied. I can’t come back right now.”

“But I’ll be all alone.”

“Just enjoy your pasta, and I’ll be back in the afternoon, he assured her.

“Fine, but please drive safely.” Emmeline hung up the phone, feeling slightly annoyed. She pondered

for a moment and realized she felt a bit lonely.

She decided to call Sam. “What are you up to?

“Working, Sam replied weakly.

“What’s going on? You sound tired. Didn’t you have pasta for lunch?‘ Emmeline teased.

“I’ve been moving supplies and loading trucks. It’s exhausting.”

“You’re still doing that kind of work? Emmeline exclaimed, “Physical labor!”

“What about you, Missy? Sam perked up. “Who’s like you, taking ninety days of vacation a year. Living

a life of luxury

“Why so much nonsense?” Emmeline chuckled. “Come over for pasta after work. I’m all alone, and it’s

boring

“Okay, I’ll be there before twelve.”

After ending the call, Emmeline quickly tidied up the house. She sat on the sofa with her dog. Seal, and

closed her eyes, lost in thought. Oh, right, Abel is moving to the factory. I can help him clean up. And

Retrollave Advertisements. They need to hire employees for training…

Before she knew it, it was already noon, and the doorbell rang

Peeking through the peephole, she saw that it was Sam. Emmeline quickly opened the door.

“Dear Emma.” Sam gasped for breath. “I walked here after buying groceries. It’s so tiring!”

“But at least you won’t lose anything. Consider it a weight loss!” Emmeline took the groceries from her.

Wow, quite a feast!

“Do you know how to cook?” Sam asked while changing into slippers with beads of perspiration

covering her chubby face.

“As long as you don’t mind.” Emmeline smiled. “If I cook, we can eat. If it doesn’t turn out well, you can

take over!”

“Hey! Hey!” Sam exclaimed. “So, you’re telling me to be a nanny while Mr. and Mrs. Louise are away?”

“We’re good friends helping each other in times of need! It’s just a small thing.”

“Do you know how tired I am today?” Sam said without reservation while opening the refrigerator and

gulping down orange juice.

“Oh, by the way, I wanted to ask you,” Emmeline said. “Didn’t you say you don’t like exerting yourself?

Why did you become a mover?”

“Our company had a lot of layoffs, and I was let go,” Sam explained. “Now, I work at the logistics

center, loading and unloading trucks all day without a break”

“Can you handle it? Emmeline looked at her with concern.

“I can’t take it anymore!” Sam pouted. Tve had enough. It feels like being a laborer all day long!”

“What can we do about it?” Emmeline picked at her food. “We can’t just let ourselves be exploited, can

we?”

“Now, the company encourages employees to start their own businesses, and they can take a leave of Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

absence without pay. Sam mentioned. Tm considering it.”

“Start your own business?” Emmeline asked, “But what would you do if you started your own

business?”

“I have no idea, Sam admitted. “But no matter what I do, it’s better than being a mover at the company

and earning that meager salary, right?”

“How about this?” Emmeline suddenly had an idea. Tve rented a storefrom in the World Trade Building.

planning to start a clothing business. Why don’t you join me? I can’t handle it alone.”

“That sounds great!” Sam exclaimed, “Emma, I’ll follow you. Let’s start our own business together!”

“Definitely!” The two girls extended their fingers and solemnly hooked them together.

The doorbell rang again, and Sam hurriedly went to open the door.

Emmeline was washing vegetables when she heard the doorbell and suddenly felt a pang of unease.

She was about to say, “Don’t open the door,” but Sam had already opened it.

To their surprise, Albus stood at the door, holding vegetables and cooked food in his hands.

Emmeline’s heart sank, but Sam exclaimed in delight. “Allous?”

“Oh, Sam?” Albus said. “What are you doing here?”
