Emma, unsure of what to do, heard footsteps and saw Albert approaching.

“Mr.

Waston!” she exclaimed.

In a hushed tone, she murmured, “She’s crying real bad.

Albert held a paper bag, gazing at the door as sobs echoed from within.

“When she’s out, give her these clothes.

Her shirt’s got a missing button.

His words caught Emma off guard.

Albert glanced at the door once more, setting down the bag.

With a heavy sigh, he turned and left.

Truth was, he wanted to tell Jessie he hadn’t moved on either.

But what could he do?

He was married.

Couldn’t just divorce for Jessie.

Had his own commitments.

Yet now his wife was gone.

He knew he was selfish but he yearned for Jessie.

He’d let go if Axell was the real deal for her, but Axell was a snob.

Didn’t deserve her.

She deserved the world’s best.

Emma watched Albert’s retreating figure, sensing his loneliness.

The bathroom door creaked open.

Jessie washed off her makeup, looking pure and lovely.

Checking her clothes, Emma noticed two missing buttons on her shirt.

She dared not linger.

Handing Jessie the bag, she said, “Mr.

Waston brought this himself.

Jessie refused to wear the clothes Albert had offered, even though hers own weren’t really presentable at the moment.

“I don’t want to wear it,” she declared, her voice tinged with a nasal quality.

Emma found herself in an uncomfortable situation but chose not to push the issue.

She observed as Jessie cleverly hid the spot where the buttons were missing with her handbag and made her way to the elevator.

Her strides were decisive, leaving Emma moved by her determination.

Emma had become a trusted aide to Albert only in recent years.

Despite most of her knowledge about Albert and Jessie being based on rumors, her occasional observations of them allowed her to form her own opinions.

She believed Jessie’s feelings for Albert were genuine.

If Jessie didn’t harbor true affection, she would have agreed when Albert starting pursuing her again now.

Without real love, she could have leveraged Albert’s guilt for her own gain, yet she chose not to.

Jessie took Albert’s money only to be his daughter’s teacher, a testament to her once deep love for him.

Upon sharing her insights with Albert, Emma braced for his criticism.

However, to her surprise, Albert just calmly said, “Just leave it.

After Emma departed, Albert sat in contemplation before rising, retrieving the bag, and heading to his lounge.
