Chapter 3106


    "If you ever need my help, you can alwayse to me," Er offered.


    "No need," Patricia replied, giving a polite nod to Emma before she left.


    As Patricia departed, Emma furrowed her brows slightly. "That girl seemed familiar." "She''s working for


    Nicole," Er exined.


    "Oh," Emma nodded, seemingly recalling something.


    "Mom, I''ve got work to do. If you want to rest, help yourself to some fruit. Or if you''d rather keep


    walking, I can get someone to walk with you," Eliar changed the subject.

    Emma gave Er a look, feeling disappointed by his eagerness to see them go. She had invited


    Doretta over specifically to help them bond, hoping it would bring them closer.


    "Aunt Emma, maybe we should let Er focus on his work. We can go back home," Doretta suggested.


    "Look how considerate Doretta is," Emma said, gently reprimanding Er." If only you were as


    thoughtful as her, I''d be happy." "It''s like fate is making up for it by sending someone thoughtful to be


    with you," Er said with a smile, trying to make Emma feel better.


    As he spoke, Er moved closer to Emma and started massaging her shoulders, hoping to please her.


    "If you want to rx here, feel free. How about I buy you lunch? Would you like that?"


    Emma looked more content. "That sounds much better."


    Er rolled his eyes discreetly, then said with a smile, "Great. I''ll have my assistant book a table." "Pick


    a restaurant with character. Doretta doesn''t know this area, so it’d be nice for her to try some of San


    Joto''s specialties," Emma suggested.


    "Sure thing," Er said, heading out.


    Emma smiled at Doretta. "Let''s stay here and wait to have lunch with Er." "Sounds good to me,"


    Doretta replied with a smile.


    Emma''s smile grew wider, pleased with Doretta''s agreeable nature.


    Little did they know, Er would use this as an excuse to leave them in the office.


    After waiting for a while without seeing Er return, Emma frowned." Where did he go? Didn''t he say he


    had work to do?"


    Feeling uneasy, Emma stood up and left the office.


    "Where''s Mr. Riddle?" she asked the secretary.


    "Mr. Riddle had to attend an unexpected meeting and has already left thepany," the secretary


    exined.


    "That rascal..." Emma muttered under her breath, annoyed that Eliar had left without informing them.


    The secretary continued, "He has already made a reservation for you. You can go directly there when


    it''s time."


    Emma instantly understood and felt irritated. "He must have done it on purpose to avoid spending time


    with US."


    Doretta, who had followed her out, noticed Emma''s change in expression and couldn''t help but ask,


    "Aunt Emma, what happened?" "Oh, nothing. Er had somethinge up and won''t be able to join


    US for lunch. Looks like it''s just you and me," Emma exined to Doretta.


    "It''s understandable that he''s busy," Doretta said considerately.


    Emma smiled. "Let''s go then. It''s not lunchtime yet; I''ll take you to get some new clothes." "I have


    enough clothes, Aunt Emma," Doretta replied, feeling a bit embarrassed.


    "But you''re starting a new job soon, and you''ll need new clothes. It''ll also make a good impression


    during your interviews," Emma insisted, gently pulling Doretta along with her.
