His income was no less than eight figures. Then it meant over ten million.
Perhaps in addition to being the CEO, he may also own shares in the company. Benjamin was indeed a rich man.
Even Charlotte knew that a rich man like Benjamin would only treat me like a toy. Her words made me see the status quo.
I nodded, smiled faintly, and said in an indifferent tone: "Whether he is sincere or just wants to play with me, as long as he is willing to give me money, he is better than the scumbag Steve. Did you see his car? That car is worth several times what Steve has in total. Besides, he mentioned that he would marry me. So, Charlotte, what I lost is exactly what I don't want. Thank you for taking Steve from me."
"Emma, you b*tch!"
Charlotte got mad and cursed. I found it funny and inexplicable. What gave her the confidence that she could tramp on me?
"Charlotte, if you let me hear any words like that coming out of your mouth, I will report your seducing someone else's husband and embezzling the company's public funds to the managers. Now I am divorced and I am not afraid of the embarrassment it might cause. Don't f*cking try me ever again!"
I could also make a few decent threats after all.
Charlotte laughed instead of getting mad, and said with a hint of excitement and threats in her tone: "You think you are tough, huh? Do you think I am afraid? If you dare to do that, I'll tear down your house before I go down!"
She was now completely insane! I suddenly asked: "Charlotte, are you jealous of me?"
Hearing my words, Charlotte stared at me with an unbelievable appearance, and said through her bright red lips word by word: "Me? Jealous of you? Are you kidding me?"
"Charlotte, what you have now is what I once owned, and what I have now is something you can never have in your life. You are envious of Benjamin being richer and more handsome than Steve, that's why you asked about Benjamin but not Steve's injuries.
Charlotte was gasping out of anger, staring at me, opening her mouth and wanted to say something, but a weak voice sounded: "Charlotte, let's go home."
Charlotte turned her head to see Steve who was seriously injured and quickly got up and reached out to support him. Steve looked down at me and his lips wriggled to say something, but finally left in silence.
Steve and Charlotte left, but Benjamin was still inside.
I was well aware that Benjamin was the one who hit Steve first. I either had to bail him out or found a lawyer for him.
Benjamin had always been rigorous and didn't need my worry at all, but none of it drove the anxious thoughts away from my head. I wanted to see him at this moment.
Half an hour later, a brightly dressed man came in from outside the police station. He looked around and saw me. His eyes were bright and he walked over and asked, "Miss, do you know where the interrogation room is?"
I pointed my finger at the corridor inside, and kindly said, "103, 105, and 107 are all interrogation rooms."
He politely nodded and thanked me before leaving.
By the time he came out of the room with Benjamin, I realized he was a friend of Benjamin.
Benjamin stood in front of me with a pair of long legs, stretched out his slender hand and said: "Emma, let's go home."
A moment ago, Steve said, 'Charlotte, let's go home'.
At this moment, Benjamin stretched out a strong, slender, delicate hand and said: "Emma, let's go home."
For some reason, I had an urge to cry.
I endured the sourness at the tip of my nose, stretched out my hand to hold Benjamin's hand, glanced at the injury on his face and told him, "You are injured."
Even though Benjamin looked like he could fight, Steve was also a strong man and he got hurt inevitably.
"It's okay." Benjamin grabbed my palm and introduced to the man beside him: "This is my girlfriend, Emma."
Benjamin actually introduced me as his girlfriend.
The man who asked me about the interrogation room just now smiled brightly and frivolously and said, "So you are the one everyone had been talking about? The lioness that dared to sleep with Benjamin?"
What? The lioness? And how'd he know I slept with Benjamin?
Benjamin would even tell him these things?
I smiled awkwardly, stretched out my hand, and said friendlily: "Hello, I am Emma, the lioness indeed."
There was dissatisfaction with Benjamin in my tone.
He was taken aback for a moment, and then he reached out to hold my hand, smiled and said, "Hello, I am Sean Solange, a friend of Benjamin."
Sean looked up and down at me. He retracted his hand and said to Benjamin in a humorous tone, "Bro, I didn't expect that your taste now becomes more and more unpredictable."
"Mind your own d*mn business!"
Benjamin slammed a fist on his shoulder and pulled me away. Sean reached out and covered his shoulder to follow up and said, "Where are you going? I'll drive you."
Sean is Benjamin's very good friend, which could be seen at a glance, and the friendship between men can be seen through a single glance.
Besides, Benjamin had always been very gentle and cautious around other people. But he jokingly hit Sean, which meant that this man was really close to him.
They should have known each other for many years.
Not like a general acquaintance.
The clever Benjamin deliberately introduced Sean to me. When I understood this, I instantly became delighted.
Sean drove the car to Benjamin's apartment and babbled along the way: "We have moved their business since you came to this city. How do you plan to thank us?"
"Heh." Benjamin let out cold and dry laughter and said indifferently: "Don't make it sound like you did it for me. You just got tired of the girls at City B."
Benjamin was really from City B.
In fact, it was a bit funny. I didn't know anything about him except for knowing his name is Benjamin.
And even the fact that he was rich was told to me by Charlotte.
"I shipped it. It returned one day earlier than me. I just picked it up. I originally wanted to give it to you the day after tomorrow, but it's too big and I can't hide it."
September was a beautiful, smiling, sunny girl, and a brave girl who dared to love and hate all she wanted.
I thought, how could Joel be willing to break up with her?
I stood awkwardly outside the car holding the bear, Benjamin glanced at me obliquely, but luckily he got out of the car and stuff the bear in the trunk for me in the end.
September got in the car and asked happily, "Emma, is one of them your boyfriend?"
Touche. I didn't want to mention Benjamin in the face of September. I thought about it and finally chose silence.
September knew me, so she ignored my silence, and finally said: "Emma, I am hungry."
She was hungry, so I had to take her to get something to eat.
So we went to a restaurant and September ordered steaks and red wine and said: "It's all my treat, help yourselves."
Sean glanced at me and winked at me. I sighed and reminded her: "September, will you be a little bit quiet please?"
Sean kicked me under the table.
I didn't understand. So he simply bowed his head to type something on the phone, and after a while, Benjamin's phone vibrated.
But Benjamin chose to ignore it.
"Do I have to get your lecture even after I haven't seen you for this long?" September complained.
I smiled and did not speak.
After lunch, we went back home. The beautiful September dragged the suitcase and waved to me: "Emma, I will come to you the day after tomorrow. Save that day for me!"
The day after tomorrow was my birthday.
I didn't promise her. Sean looked at her back and kept silent, and finally Benjamin reminded: "Sean, drive."
Sean was silent along the way. After he waited for Benjamin to take out the Teddy Bear from the car, he drove away without saying anything.
I glanced at Benjamin, who was holding the bear in one hand and asked: "Your friend is so weird. Wasn't he pretty talkative just before September got in the car?"
Why was he so silent after we picked September up?
"Really?" Benjamin stuffed the bear in my arms, and I quickly caught up and heard him say lightly: "I didn't notice."
Benjamin walked in front with long legs, and I walked slowly behind in no hurry, but in the end, he waited for me at the elevator.
After returning to the apartment, Benjamin went to his bedroom. I also took the bear to my room and put it on the bed. Then I took out my anti- inflammatory medicine and knocked on the door of Benjamin.
