“He risked his life to save me,” said Sonia. “He could have fallen down along with me then! It was 88 floors!”
“Both of us would have been goners if that happened! But at that critical moment, he grabbed my arm without hesitation and saved me.”
“Did you know? The moment I fell into his arms, I knew right away that this man is mine. He’s mine and mine alone!”
Janie was startled and what she heard sent a shiver down her spine.
88 floors? Isn’t that Adelmar?
Who risked their life saving this woman who wanted to jump from the top of Adelmar, and in doing so, made her obsess over him? She even worshipped him to the point of wanting to be his.
“Who exactly is this hero?” asked Janie inquisitively.
“It’s Benjamin, the CEO of Adelmar!” replied Sonia excitedly.
“Benjamin? How did he become your hero?” blurted a startled Janie.
“Were you not paying attention? Benjamin saved me this morning at the top of Adelmar! He got hurt while saving me, so I’m here to see him!” said Sonia as she grew impatient.
Hearing that, Janie became anxious.
“Benjamin was hurt? How was his injury? Is he okay?”
“He hit the back of his head, but it shouldn’t be a big deal,” replied Sonia as she eyed Janie suspiciously.
“But who are you, miss? Why are you so concerned about Mr. Benjamin?”
“…”
Janie did not reply.
Who am I?
That’s right, who am I to Benjamin?
Am I his girlfriend?
His family?
I’m none of those.
“Ding!”
The elevator arrived at the 88th floor and both of them walked out of the elevator with the same question still floating in their minds.
Joey, who was behind the secretary’s desk saw Janie walk in, followed by Sonia. Janie was half a head taller than Sonia.
She frowned and greeted Janie, “Hello, Ms. Janie. Mr. Benjamin isn’t back yet.”
“Did he go to the hospital?” asked Janie.
“Yeah, Mr. Benjamin was injured, so Mr. Eric took him to the hospital,” said Joey as she glanced at Sonia.
“It was because Mr. Benjamin tried to save me,”
Sonia chimed in from the side with her head held high.
Both Joey and Janie ignored her.
Joey continued, “Are you here to deliver lunch for Mr. Benjamin, Ms. Janie?”
“Yeah. I’ll give him a call too to check in on him,” said Janie with a nod.
“Who exactly are you?” blurted Sonia. She could no longer hold in her curiosity after hearing that.
This slender and beautiful woman in front of her could not be any ordinary outsider, not when she came all the way to deliver lunch for Mr. Benjamin and could freely use the CEO’s private elevator.
Could she be Benjamin’s wife? It can’t be, everyone in Struyrian knows Benjamin of Adelmar. He’s the most eligible bachelor out there and he’s loaded.
What’s more, the car that Janie drove looked very unassuming. It was further proof that Janie could not be Benjamin’s wife.
“You are the nanny for the York family, right?” asked Sonia after coming to that conclusion.
“Aren’t you a little rude? Who am I? It is none of your business” scowled Janie.
“What do you mean none of my business? From today onwards, Mr. Benjamin is mine. I’ll marry him no matter what. If any other woman gets in the way, they’ll have to face me!”
“Madness!” cursed Janie in disgust.
“Who are you calling mad? Mr. Benjamin is my savior. I have my eyes on him, do you have a problem with that?” replied Sonia, her eyebrows raised.
“That’s what you think! Don’t need to keep parading it around!” snapped Janie in anger.
“Keep your distance from Mr. Benjamin. I can tell that you’re a rival, aren’t you?” said Sonia as she gave Janie a push.
“Don’t touch me!” yelled Janie. She raised her hand and slapped Sonia.
The force of the slap sent Sonia staggering back and she bumped into the desk. The flowers and the gift box in her hands were scattered on the floor.
“What are you doing, Janie?!” shouted a voice from behind all of a sudden.
