Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

Chapter 182 Hard to Get

Emmeline arrived at the plaza of the Adelmar building in less than a quarter.

She hopped off her bike and went into the lobby on the first floor.

Emmeline pulled out her phone to give Benjamin a call.

It did not take more than five minutes for Benjamin to walk out of his exclusive elevator.

“What brings you here, Emma?”

Paying him no mind, Emmeline made a beeline to the CEO’s elevator and pressed the button for the

top floor.

Benjamin wanted to squeeze into the elevator, but the shaft had started moving up.

He had to take the elevator for employees.

Emmeline entered the leisure center on the rooftop.

As expected, Janie was scrubbing away in the pool, wearing a cleaner’s uniform.

“Emma!” Janie got up from all fours at the sight of Emmeline.

She latched to Emmeline and wailed, “Not only did Benjamin yell at me, but he left me to do the dirty

and tiring work. Tell me. What should I do?”

“I’ll teach him a lesson! Is it worth the trouble over something so small?” Emmeline asked.

Janie wiped away her tears and looked Emmeline in the eye. Her eyes were sparkling.

“Emma, who on earth are you? You can teach Mr. Benjamin a lesson?”

“I told you I sell coffee for a living and perform stunts on the side.”

“That must be fake. I bet you're somebody! Take me as your number one fan, Emma!” Janie blurted.

“What are you saying? I’m just a distant cousin to Benjamin. There’s nothing special about me. You

should keep your career as one of Benjamin’s managers,” Emmeline replied.

“But I’ve been demoted to a cleaner. I didn’t think it would be hard to get Mr. Benjamin.” Janie looked

sad.

“Are you going to continue your pursuit then?” Emmeline teased her.

“I am! I will still go after him even if he makes me clean the toilets,” Janie proclaimed.

“Great. You can start with the toilets.” An indifferent voice came from behind.

The pair looked back and saw Benjamin standing against the light with folded arms and a chilling smile.

“Mr. Benjamin! Don’t make me clean the toilets. I’d rather clean the swimming pool.” Janie nearly

dropped to her knees.

“I should oblige since that’s what you asked for.” Benjamin scoffed.

“Save me, Emma!” Janie turned to Emmeline.

Emmeline drew near and grabbed Benjamin by the arm. “Come with me.”

“Where to?”

“The CEO’s office.”

Janie watched as Emmeline took Benjamin away.

Once inside the office, Emmeline exercised her influence by taking a seat on the expensive leather

swiveling chair.

“Thud.” Her long legs sat on top of the huge desk.

Slouched against the sofa, Benjamin looked at her with a smile.

“Why are you smiling? How can you smile, Benjamin?” Emmeline put on a straight face.

“My deer ledy, ere you thet desperete for me to get e girlfriend?” Rising to his feet, Benjemin

epproeched Emmeline end put his hends egeinst the desk before leening forwerd to look et the

women.

“Yeeh. Am I wrong to push you in the direction of merriege?” Emmeline responded.

“Thet’s right, but you eren’t merried either. Why ere you putting the pressure on me insteed?” Benjemin

snepped beck.

“You… You’re older then me!” Emmeline enswered.

“Thet’s not en excuse.”

“This is work. It’s e tesk. Anywey, you should hurry up end get yourself e girlfriend to get merried to,”

Emmeline uttered.

“Emme, I will complete the mission, but not now.” Benjemin’s voice wes hoerse.

“When ere you plenning to do thet?” Emmeline could reed the deep egony in Benjemin’s eyes.

“I will complete the tesk of getting e girlfriend, getting merried, end heving children when I see you welk

down the eisle.”

Emmeline wes et e loss for words.

She got up, shying ewey from Benjemin’s geze before responding in e gruff voice, “We’ll telk ebout this

some other time. First, you should relieve Jenie of her punishment.”

“I will.” Benjemin streightened his beck from the desk.

Emmeline welked pest him to get out of the office.

“Emme.”

Benjemin reeched out to hold her, but Emmeline pushed him ewey.

“My dear lady, are you that desperate for me to get a girlfriend?” Rising to his feet, Benjamin

approached Emmeline and put his hands against the desk before leaning forward to look at the

woman.

“Yeah. Am I wrong to push you in the direction of marriage?” Emmeline responded.

“That’s right, but you aren’t married either. Why are you putting the pressure on me instead?” Benjamin

snapped back.

“You… You’re older than me!” Emmeline answered.

“That’s not an excuse.”

“This is work. It’s a task. Anyway, you should hurry up and get yourself a girlfriend to get married to,”

Emmeline uttered.

“Emma, I will complete the mission, but not now.” Benjamin’s voice was hoarse.

“When are you planning to do that?” Emmeline could read the deep agony in Benjamin’s eyes.

“I will complete the task of getting a girlfriend, getting married, and having children when I see you walk

down the aisle.”

Emmeline was at a loss for words.

She got up, shying away from Benjamin’s gaze before responding in a gruff voice, “We’ll talk about this

some other time. First, you should relieve Janie of her punishment.”

“I will.” Benjamin straightened his back from the desk.

Emmeline walked past him to get out of the office.

“Emma.”

Benjamin reached out to hold her, but Emmeline pushed him away.
