268 Willing To Lose

Ben carefully examined the photographs in the newspaper. His face turned pale as he recognized a few of the big shots on them.

His brother persisted in questioning him, "Hey! What on earth are you doing? I've already told you that those small companies will not pose threats to us! So, you don't have to make things difficult for them!"

Ben then said, somewhat awkwardly, "I'm so sorry! | had no idea Anna knew so many famous people! Ada told me that she was just Wayne's ex-girlfriend. So, | thought she was just an ordinary woman."

Surprised, Ben's brother looked at him and inquired, "Ada? Are you still seeing that actress? Jesus Christ! Are you f*****g. insane?!"

Ben's brother interrupted his defense by saying, "Ben, you don't come to work these days. You should reflect on what you've done!"’

The man then exited the office, slamming the office door shut behind him.

Furious, Ben ripped the newspaper into pieces and threw it in the trash can. At that moment, his phone rang.

When he saw who was calling, his face darkened, and he answered it immediately.

He asked impatiently, "Have you not seen the news, Ada? Why do you still have the nerves to call me?"

Ada froze for a moment before saying sweetly, "Don't be so

mad at me! You see, you now know who is supporting your competitor. Actually, | believe this is a good thing.”

Ben grunted before saying, "What? Do you believe this is good? Don't be ridiculous! For God's sake, I'm not that stupid! My brother yelled the s**t out of me just now!"

"Well, you shouldn't get mad about that! See, you're scolding me right now, but I'm still cheering you up, aren’t I?"
