Benjamin's eyes were as bright as the sun, twinkling with luster. In such a charming gaze, I couldn't help saying, "Honey." When I finished, I felt I fell into his trap!
Another one of his endless traps!
Benjamin smiled slightly, squinted his eyes and praised, "Good girl."
I covered my eyes and stopped looking at him. After a long time, I suppressed the panic in my heart and said to Benjamin, "I feel that we are now still in infatuation, and we can be sweet at any time, especially when your mouth is so sweet that you are willing to say anything nice, things you know I want to hear. The voice and the face are so poisonous that you can seduce me at any time, and I have no self-control."
He said, "I know."
The clear voice of Benjamin came, "I know your weakness and I have no problem taking advantage of them."
"I'm f*cking done!"
"I'm completely done," I said glumly.
"Oh, really?"
He paused and reminded, "Mind your language. The child can hear it."
I rolled my eyes and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Probably very late at night, Benjamin held me, who was sleeping so drowsily, and said softly, "We're home."
"Mm," I said, my arms around his neck.
Benjamin smiled and said, "Lazy girl."
Later, I didn't know what happened. I only remembered that when I was fully awake, it was already the morning of the next day.
At that time, he had already gone to work.
But he left me breakfast.
I didn't see Bob when I arrived at the police station. After an hour, he and September returned to the office together.
"Where did you guys go?" I asked curiously.
September winked and said with a smile, "The young man who Victoria ran over woke up and is on his way he. When we were talking to him on the phone, he told us that he was once an employee of the Heaney family and had done some dirty work for the Heaney family in private."
I remembered his name was James.
I asked, "Shall we summon Victoria?"
"We shall, but we have to wait for the guy to come down here to testify. Then we can have an excuse to arrest Victoria."
September smiled and said, "Finally, after months of work!"
I asked, "Why didn't James take the plane? Are you worried that if he exposed his identity, the Heaney family would kill him?"
"If he took the plane, he would have to buy the plane ticket with his own ID card, and the Heaney family will definitely know it." Bob continued what I said and added, "No harm in being too careful."
Before James arrived in City B, I went to see Joel.
He named my company "Ellis Shears".
Which was quite surprising to me.
It was a combination of my family name and my son's name.
Joel handed me a stack of materials and said lightly, "All the formalities have been completed, and I have also hired a decoration crew. You can tell them your favorite style."
I smiled and said, "Well, I most certainly will. But you might have to pay them for me for now." "Money is not a problem." Joel paused and reminded, "Since you've decided to do this, do it right. Starting a company is not as simple as you think. You will encounter a lot of difficulties in the early stage, difficulties that I wouldn't be able to sort out for you as I did before... I sincerely hope that you can do this right and make something for yourself so that you would be able to take over the Shears family."
Joel always considered things in such a longterm way.
He might have noticed that my expression was a bit absent- minded, so he suddenly muttered, "Em, the man you have is very outstanding."
I looked at him in astonishment.
Why did Joel suddenly praise Ben?
He went silent and added, "It's precisely because he's outstanding that the woman standing next to him should also be outstanding enough. But right now, you haven't reached such a high standard yet."
Joel's words were too shocking.
"What do you mean?" I asked blankly.
"You are not confident enough."Joel saw everything through. He sighed and said, "You have suffered a lot since you were a child and have seen the fickleness of human nature.
What's more, you got yourself in a pretty nasty situation because of your marriage with Steve, and these experiences caused you to feel inferior from the bottom of your heart."
I retorted, "I don't feel inferior."
"The only thing that can change your selfabased mind is to put you at the same height as Benjamin, but you have to get there by yourself. You figured this out by yourself and that was why you told me that you wanted to establish your own company, with the sole purpose of changing yourself."
Joel analyzed my thoughts one by one and said, "You want to be outstanding, moneywise or mental-state-wise so that you can be the perfect match for Benjamin."
Joel looked at me with his deep eyes and said, "So whether it is my hope or your urgency, you have to run it well and become the largest ad company in City B."
Joel demonstrated to me clearly why he was the best of the best in the business world. He used a few simple words to push me to the cliff so that I could either win or be shattered to pieces.
He was right. I wanted to make myself outstanding, so I registered a company with all my savings.
I was a woman, a woman who had nothing and was divorced!
In fact, the women who had been divorced were nothing wrong, but in the eyes of outsiders, they were just a broken flower. I understood that only by self- strengthening could I win the respect of others.
What Benjamin said about me not having to worry about anything except for being Mrs. Dunn was horse s*it!
If I relied on him to live, on that strong man, the Dunn family would only look down on me for the rest of my life!
"Thank you for your timely help. Well bring you snacks later."
Bob quickly pulled September away, afraid that I'd go back on my words.
After they left, I sat opposite James and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid. We will protect you for the next few months until the case is over and you are not in danger."
He looked up at me in silence.
There were some things hidden in his eyes, which were very dim, like the eye of twilight.
When it was almost noon, I went to the canteen to buy some food. I had just handed the lunch box to James when I received a call from Benjamin.
He asked, "Are you free now?"
"Lunch together?" I asked.
"Yes, I'm coming to pick you up."
I looked at James, who was playing with the chopsticks with his head lowering and explained softly, "I have a mission. I can't leave the police station."
"Well, dinner then."
When I hung up the phone, James's chopsticks fell to the ground. I handed my chopsticks to him and said, "They are dirty. Use mine."
James raised his head and looked at me. After a long while, he said, "I know you."
I repeated in surprise. "You... know me?"
He asked, "Yeah, didn't you jump into the sea?"
It could be proved that James worked for the Heaney family five years ago. I followed his words and explained, "I was rescued."
I thought for a moment and asked, "Why did Victoria hit you?"
"Why?" He muttered, "I know one of her secrets. I knew it when I woke up and I even remembered it this morning. But my brain is a f*cking bowl of beef stew again now. Give me some time." "We're not in a hurry. Take your time." I said with a smile.
We couldn't afford to be in a hurry. We had to let James be as relaxed as possible.
Because I knew that, he knew a lot of things.
As soon as we finished the food, Zack opened the door from the outside. He stepped in and asked, "How is it?"
"He's trying very hard to remember."
Zack nodded and still said in a cold tone, "He just woke up last night, so it's normal for his brain to be a little confused. Clean up the lounge of the officers and let him rest there."
Seemed like James would be here for quite a while.
I nodded and then my cell phone rang.
