The three of them turned around and were greeted by the sight of Benjamin walking out of the elevator.
His blazer was slung over his arm. He was not wearing a tie and his black shirt was unbuttoned at the neck.
“Mr. Benjamin!” cried Sonia as she threw herself towards Benjamin.
Benjamin scowled and took a step to the side, causing Sonia to stumble forward.
She did not give up and threw herself forward again and wrapped her arms around him tightly.
“I’m sorry for causing you to get hurt, Mr. Benjamin. Are you in pain? I was worried to death!”
Janie just stood beside the secretary’s desk. She was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Even though Benjamin shoved Sonia away, Janie still felt like her heart was broken.
Joey just stared at Sonia and wondered if the woman was mad.
Benjamin walked over to Janie and asked, “Why are you here, Janie?”
“…”
Janie pursed her lips and replied cooly, “I came over to deliver you your lunch, but it seems like you don’t need it anymore, right? The woman you saved is here to ask you out for lunch.”
Benjamin was silent.
Before he could say anything, Sonia interrupted him, “Mr. Benjamin won’t eat your lunch. He’ll eat with me, so take your lunch and leave!”
“You…!”
The rage in Janie welled up again and she raised her hand to slap Sonia.
“Enough!” said Benjamin as he grabbed her wrist. He was fuming.
“Stop causing a scene here! It’s annoying!”
“….”
“See? Mr. Benjamin is talking about you!” quipped Sonia with a satisfied smile.
With a hoarse voice, Janie asked, “What is the meaning of this, Benjamin? Do you feel bad that I slapped her?”
“I said, enough! Enough drama for today!” said Benjamin with a raised voice. He was slowly losing his temper.
“…”
Janie nodded and said, “Okay, I understand!”
She took her thermoses and quickly entered the elevator to leave.
Sonia cried out excitedly, “So you do really favor me, Mr. Benjamin!”
“I just don’t want anyone to cause a scene in my office!” replied Benjamin coldly.
He then barked an order to Eric, “Get this woman out of her, I don’t want to see her again!”
“Yes, sir!” replied Eric as he nodded.
The two bodyguards behind Eric immediately grabbed Sonia by the arms and dragged her into the elevator.
Sonia was terrified and yelled, “You saved my life! How can you do this to me, Mr. Benjamin?”
Her cries were left unheeded as Benjamin walked into his office and closed the door without looking back.
Benjamin sat on his chair and closed his eyes. He felt more at peace after a few minutes.
After a while, he looked at his watch. It was already noon and he had not had lunch. He was feeling hungry.
Usually, he would either eat the lunch brought by Janie, or he would go to the office cafeteria to grab a bit, but he drove Janie away earlier, so naturally, there was no lunch waiting for him.
He considered going to the cafeteria, but the thought of cafeteria food did not sound appetizing for him right now.
Benjamin picked up his coat and left his office. He drove back to Glenbrook.
As he entered the villa and took off his shoes, he suddenly noticed something was off.
After pondering for a bit, he finally realized what was off. He did not see Janie’s shoes at the entrance.
The pair of yellow cartoon slippers that she usually wears around the villa were neatly arranged at the entrance with the other shoes instead.
Yvonne came over and took his coat from him.
Benjamin took the chance to ask her, “Janie isn’t back yet?”
“Ms. Janie just left, Mr. Benjamin.” replied Yvonne.
Benjamin was taken aback.
“… where did she go?”
“Ms. Janie went back to her apartment. She also told me to tell you that she has recovered and she wanted to thank you for taking care of her.”
“What nonsense!”
Benjamin tugged at the collar of his shirt in frustration as he walked in.
After going upstairs to his bedroom, he took out his phone and dialed Janie’s number.
The phone rang three times before Janie picked it up. She nonchalantly said, “Hello, Mr. Benjamin.”
“Why did you leave so suddenly?” asked Benjamin, displeased.
