When Tina nodded, he quickly received the call.
"Boss—"
"Are you with her?" Andrew inquired.
"Yes boss."
"Hmm, it's good that you ca," he remarked. "If you hadn't, I had plans of finding a good guy for Tina myself."
Ben smiled. "I know you would have never done that."
Andrew chuckled. Of course he wouldn't have done that. "Anyway, I just wanted to check if everything is okay. I will hang up now—"
"Boss—" Ben stopped him. "I want to tell you sothing—" He looked at Tina.
Sensing his hesitation, Tina said, "Do you want to step out?"
"No need—" He then stopped the car at the side of the road. "I'll be back in a minute, okay?"
When she let out an affirmative sound, he stepped out of the car.

"What is it?"
Contemplating for a while, Ben said, "I don't think it's a big deal but I feel like I should tell you about it."
"When I was with Samuel and Joshua, we were talking about won and relationships," he added. "At that ti, Samuel started talking about madam."
Thinking that Andrew would misunderstand, he quickly explained, "He didn't say anything indecent or disrespectful." If Samuel had said anything inappropriate about his lady boss, he would surely punch him on the face. And Ben was sure Joshua would help him too.
"What did he say?" Andrew inquired.
"He sounded a little more interested in madam than normal," Ben answered.
Without waiting for Andrew's reply, he added, "I tried to find out if Samuel and madam t in the past and it seems like he was in Paris when madam was there a year ago for so flower exhibition. Now I don't know if they bumped into each other at that ti but there is a chance."
"Maybe you should ask madam about it."
"Hmm, I will try to talk to her," Andrew sighed. "Okay, I will take care of this. You should focus on Tina and building your relationship with her. She is still mad, rember?"
Ben pinched the space between his brows and sighed. He had to do sothing to appease his angry little woman.
After hanging up the call, he quickly jogged back to the car.

"Andrew, the food—" Rachael yelled at him when she saw him still standing in the sa spot she had seen him earlier.
"Going—" He was about to go out when one of the guards brought the food inside.
Andrew thanked him before walking towards the dining area.

[Ben's car]
"Yes dad, I know," Tina sighed. "Can't you ask him to reschedule?"
"Why would you reschedule? Just cancel it." Ben purposely said in a relatively louder voice. It was like he wanted to make sure the person on the other side hears him.
Tina glared at him and gestured him to stay quiet.
"No dad, I am alone," she lied. "It's the cab driver."
Ben: " "
From which angle did he look like a cab driver?
He frowned and looked at her as she kept talking to her father.
"Alright, ask him to call or ssage whenever he is free next ti." After hanging up the call, she tossed her phone inside her bag and sighed. She had a really tough ti convincing and explaining to her father why she suddenly couldn't attend the date.
But unbeknownst to her, soone didn't like what he had just heard and was boiling in jealousy and rage.
"Do you really wanna go on a date with whoever that man is?" Ben snapped at her.
"I—"
"Show the address then, I will drop you there," he cut her off.
When Tina took out her phone, he mockingly scoffed. "You must be kidding —" He snatched the phone from her hand and tossed it on the backseat.
Before she could react, he unfastened his seat belt and leaned towards her before pressing his lips against hers.
Tina widened her eyes in shock and placed her hand on his shoulder.
He placed his one hand on her cheek while he unfastened her belt with the other.
He then pulled away before grabbing her waist and pulling her into his lap.
His sudden action made her gasp. But before she could say anything, he captured her lips again and this ti, he did not hold back.
He nibbled her lower lips before invading his tongue inside her mouth until it t hers.
Tina clutched onto his shirt as she tried to return the kiss with the sa intensity as his.
His arms caressed back, followed by the curve of her lips before moving towards her bare thighs.
She let off his shirt and hooked her arms around his neck.
When he caressed her bare thighs, she gently grabbed the back of his hair..
Ben gently squeezed her thigh when she moved closer. He could feel her breast squeez against his chest.
After a few seconds, Ben pulled away and rested his forehead against hers.
Their chest heaved up and down in sync as they tried to catch a breath.
"You are not going on that date ever, okay?" He said in between his pants.
Lost in the mont, she submissively nodded.
"You are not giving him your number as well, okay?" When she agreed again, he smiled before kissing her again.

"Why are you being so hyper?" Emma frowned. "It's not like I asked him to text ."
"I am not being hyper," George snapped. "I am just saying that there was no need for you to reply to him."
"You are unbelievable—" She scoffed.
They were having a lovely evening until she told him that her ex-boyfriend ssaged her a couple of days ago and they talked a little. He even asked her out for a coffee but she turned him down as she was a little busy with work.
"So if you were not busy, you would have gone?"
"Maybe—" When George mockingly smirked, Emma explained, "We ended on very good terms. It was a mutual breakup. And it's nothing like you are assuming. We are just good friends now."
