"Let's steer clear of work talk, Scott suggested. Heard you're making a move to the company?"

"Yeah, Abel replied. "After the merger, the entire backyard office building became vacant. I'll'set up two offices there, do some simple decoration, and I'll be practically living at the company for a year or two." "Going all out, huh?" Scott chuckled. "Young people should not be underestimated!"

"We've invested a lot, and Abel has already taken out a bank loan. We have to go all out, right?"

Regarding that bank loan, Abel was well aware of it himself. Granting benefits exclusively to Scott had taken up two hundred thousand.

"A loan of three to four million. Abel, are you afraid?" Scott asked with a smile.

"Saying I'm not afraid would be misleading, but what can fear achieve? In this lifetime, there's always something worth going all out for! Abel confessed.

"In this lifetime, there has to be a person worth going all out for!" Scott looked at his daughter and then turned to Abel.

Abel avoided his gaze, his expression growing colder.

"When are you moving in, Abel?" Scott asked, feigning concern.

"Soon, Abel replied. "Luca's already at my place packing things up."

"Alright, I'll lend a hand too. Scott said to Alana. "Grab two sets of new sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases. Get everything ready for Abel."

"No need for the trouble," Abel interjected. Tve already got it covered."

Meanwhile, Alana had already sweetly agreed and promptly went off to execute the task.

After leaving Scott's office, Abel lit a cigarette. Finding a secluded spot, he dialed the financial director's number, Landon Harrison.

"Mr. Ryker." Landon's voice was low. "Are you looking for me?"

"Did you submit a leave application?" Abel got straight to the point.

"Yes, Mr. Ryker."

"Why didn't you inform me?"

"Mr. Yendall said it was arranged by you."

*D*mn it" Alicl cursed softly. "Can't you talk to me and clarify everything?"

"You didn't know about this, Mr. Ryker?"

"If I had known, why would I be calling you now?"

Landon took a deep breath on the other end. "Abel, is it convenient for you to talk right now?"

Abel glanced around. I'm alone. Go ahead."

"I've been set up, Landon said. "Scott told me that you have a relative coming to take over the finance department, and I'm supposed to be laid off." "That cunning old fox!"

"He mentioned that if I submit my own application, the company will cover my pension for three years," Landon continued. "I know that if you've made up your mind, I won't be able to persuade you. Any boss would prefer to have their people managing the finances. So, instead of being fired after the staff meeting, I thought it's better to go along with it."

I see now, Scott wants to control me." Abel remarked. "But you can't leave your position."

"Scott has already taken care of it, Landon explained. "The Finance Department of the Development Zone Mechanical Factory has reserved a position for me."

"That was fast."

"Abel, who did Scott arrange to manage finances?"

"His daughter.

"Wow, that's quite audacious!"

"Landon, I'm giving you a heads-up now. After the staff meeting, the Audit Bureau will investigate my company's accounts, and you must be rehired. I can't use anyone else! Abel whispered.

"What about Scott's daughter then?"

"She'll just be a figurehead. I only trust you!"

"Abel, you can't afford to offend Scott. After all, he still has influence over you," Landon warned.

"I'm well aware of that. I'll handle him, Abel asserted. "Don't take the position in the Development Zone. I'll make up for your lost salary."

"Alright then, Mr. Ryker!" Landon agreed. "Since you put it that way, I feel relieved now. We've got a solid trust thing going after seven or eight years of working together! I'd rather follow your lead than go to another unit. I'll go with your arrangement!"

"Good!"

The call ended with mutual agreement.

Emmeline and Janie enjoyed a shopping spree, picking up various household items for Abel.

After finishing their shopping, the two returned to the RetroWave Advertisements to take a break.

Emmeline remarked, "Abel cleared out the apartment today, so tomorrow, Tony can start renovating the new house."

"Thanks to both of you." Janie expressed her gratitude. I really appreciate Abel."

"Don't mention it. Emmeline smiled. "We're all good friends."

"Emma, I never expected things to turn out like this," Janie said. "Last time, it was all gloomy clouds, and now, it's all sunshine."

Emmeline shared her wisdom. "That's why, in times of crisis, it's crucial to stay composed. We shouldn't act hastily, and we definitely can't give in to despair."

What's

gotten into you all of a sudden?" Janie laughed. "It's not like that last time. I didn't cry but I ended up making you cry out of worry."

Before they could say more, Abel arrived.
