Yan Yu’s signal just cut off like that, leaving Ben Shaming staring at his phone for a long ti without catching his breath.
What is this supposed to an?
He dropped the phone, inexplicably finding himself laughable.
So all those unfounded worries were in vain. She didn’t misunderstand that kiss at all, nor would she actively cling to him. Yet he was absurdly lost last night and sought out so many won...
Annoyed, he got up and gathered the three won, pushing them to the door. Then he opened the door and pushed them out like throwing out three bags of trash, expressionless.
After that, he went about his exercises in the room as usual, throwing darts as usual.
Then he went downstairs as usual, walked to the subway station, and went to work as usual.
But on the way to the subway station, his eyes couldn’t help but glance over the beggars on the roadside and the stray cats crouching in the flower beds.
An inexplicable anger welled up within him.
What are they waiting for? Are they waiting for soone to bring them freshly baked desserts by hand? What gives them the right—begging, isn’t that just laziness?
When he reached the office, he still couldn’t shake off this inexplicable annoyance.
As usual, he went into Jas’s office to inquire about the day’s work arrangents, and Jas imdiately noticed sothing was off.
Jas paused his writing, raised his eyes to look at him, "What’s wrong?"
Having been together for so long, so dependent on each other, despite Ben Shaming’s efforts to hide, he couldn’t escape Jas’s eyes.
Ben Shaming frowned, "It’s nothing."
Jas dropped his pen, leaned back, crossed his arms, and lifted his gaze to stare at him, "Do you think you can fool my eyes?"
Ben Shaming awkwardly lowered his eyelids, took a deep breath, and said, "If you really want to say it, then I’ll say it."
He looked up and t Jas’s deep blue eyes: "...When you kiss Catherine, how does it feel? And those won before, does kissing them taste the sa as with Catherine?"
The atmosphere in the office instantly fell into an eerie silence.
On the rooftop office, Mark couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Oh, how did it get to such an interesting and sensitive topic?
Is Little Ben finally going to openly confront a conflict with Jas?
.
In Jas’s office, after a few minutes of silence, Jas suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Little Ben, that’s enough! No matter how you hold grudges against Catherine, she’s going to be my wife soon. Everything is set, and no one can change it."
Jas took a deep breath, his gaze filled with resentfulness, "Whatever you’ve done to Catherine, I can overlook it, but that doesn’t an I don’t know anything, and it doesn’t an I’ve forgiven you—in fact, I want you to keep your mouth shut from now on, and don’t ddle in matters between and Catherine. Also, keep in mind your position, don’t think the distance between you and is too close!"
On the rooftop, Mark couldn’t help but curl his lips and said faintly, "Oh, Jas, you’re too heartless. How can Little Ben take this?"
As Mark expected, Ben Shaming’s face went completely pale, imdiately taking steps backward.
"Jas, are you trying to imply sothing?—I always thought that even if the two of you got married, it wouldn’t affect the relationship between you and . And when you wanted to transfer away, it was just a temporary asure to avoid police investigation. You would bring back after the storm passed."
Jas stared at him, his gaze deep and unfathomable, but finally, he shook his head cruelly.
"Little Ben, you should understand that the current is different from the before. I used to be just an exiled child, a loser, and whatever I said or did was insignificant. The more absurd I acted, the more reassured Huangfu Hua Zhang would be, and only then would I be safe. So I could act recklessly and with no limits."
"But now it’s different, I’m no longer a child who can act recklessly, I’m now the global CEO of Fude Group. Every word I say, every action I take, directly affects my image in the eyes of shareholders and employees. If I continue to act recklessly, I won’t gain their approval and support, and I will face the risk of losing Fude Group."
"So I have to change. Little Ben, whether you want it or not, I must change for myself."
Ben Shaming staggered again, his foot directly stepping into the white sand, and the rustling sound reached Mark’s ears.
So panicked and helpless.
Ben Shaming stared at Jas, "So you want to get married, to use your marriage with Catherine to establish a normal image for yourself. You’re afraid of people finding out about our relationship, you’re afraid I will affect your future career!"
