"Ben?"
"Mm." Benjamin answered casually on the phone.
James sat in a chair, looking very relaxed.
Elizabeth said that she wanted to accompany Lydia to watch TV, so she didn't come up. Besides, for the sake of safety, he closed the door when he entered the study.
The sound insulation effect at home was pretty good, so he was not afraid that anyone would suddenly come here and hear his secret.
Ha-ha...
"What are you doing?" James raised his eyebrows and put his slender legs on the desk.
Well, this posture was quite good.
"I'm in the company."
"Oh..." James drawled, "I have something to tell you."
"Mm."
"Well... it was you who sent Lawrence aboard to work, right?"
"Yeah."
James's eyes were full of smiles, but he was not in a hurry to tease Benjamin and just said, "I've guessed it roughly."
"So why do you ask me about this?"
"Hey!" James was dissatisfied, "Do you have to be so indifferent? I called you especially, but you treat me like this?"
Benjamin said neither coldly or warmly, "I am very busy."
His implication was that he didn't have time to chat with James!
James grinned and looked disgusted, but he said, "By the way, I heard from my wife that Lawrence has come back. Do you know this?"
"I know..."
James raised his eyebrows again, and the smile on his face became brighter, "I knew it was you!"
"Don't tell me that you sent someone to follow Evelyn all the time." Otherwise, why was Lawrence always called away when he stayed with Evelyn?
"I'll hang up first. I have something to do here."
James snorted, "What do you have to do?
Aren't you just waiting for Lawrence to report his work to you?"
"Since you know it, why did you call me?"
Hearing this, James felt smugger in his heart. See! His guess was right! Ha-ha!
Although he said those words to Elizabeth just now, he knew very well what he was thinking in heart.
Women were creatures of emotions indeed, but a man would also be touched if he was treated warmly like that. After all, as long as he was not as cold as a piece of ice, he would be moved. Even if he didn't love her, he would remember her kindness in heart.
Benjamin did not speak, and James didn't mind it. After all, they had known each other for a long time. James said, "Now the most troublesome thing for you is not about Lawrence. After all, I know why you sent him to be responsible for a project in England."
"But, the most important thing for you is to get Evelyn's heart. She has been moved by Lawrence. If you didn't send Lawrence aboard, maybe they would have been together."
"Speaking of this, you're shrewd in some aspects indeed, but..." James paused and then continued, "In front of love, everyone is selfish. Besides, you finally met someone you like, so it was not surprising that you did that to Lawrence." "If you didn't call Lawrence today, you would be..." James coughed lightly, "Maybe you are crying in silence now." Ha-ha...
"Why should I cry?" Benjamin said blandly, "Even if I really didn't call Lawrence, and even if they were really in a relationship, would they really get married?"
James curled his lips. Benjamin must be worried in heart, but he said such words coldly. What a stubborn man!
"Don't forget what kind of relationship you have with Lawrence. Even if they couldn't get married, what would others say if you really get together with Evelyn in the future?"
"I can't control other people's mind. They can say whatever they want. Do you think I care about it?"
James exhaled lightly, "Even if you think so, in that case, they had been together. Besides, Lawrence met Evelyn first. When the time comes..."
Before James finished his words, Benjamin said lightly, "How do you know that Lawrence knew her first?"
"What do you mean?"
"Beep..."
