Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1009: I guess you do have a soft spot for him.

"Angel, have you seen Benjamin?" Mark jogged up the steps of the porch where Angel was standing. "He told me he's coming today, and we have some matters to discuss before the shareholder meeting."

"Oh, yeah! I think I just saw him go inside not long ago," Angel pointed his thumb over to the front door. "He was bringing some gifts, so I guess he went to see the master first."

"You told him about what happened?"

"He called last night, and no one picked up," Angel shrugged. "I didn't want him adding more tension to the residence if I didn't tell him."

Mark rocked his head and sighed heavily. "Makes sense."

Just then, the two of them turned toward the front door when they heard it fly open from the inside.

"Oh, Sir Ben!" Angel called, while Mark turned to face Benjamin.

"Benjamin, about the share-"

"Don't talk to me!" Benjamin yelled, running past the two of them.

Mark and Angel cocked their heads to the side, question marks hovering over their heads. They watched Benjamin jog down the steps, but instead of heading to his car, he went straight toward the greenhouse.

"Is he... is he crying?" Angel asked in disbelief. "I don't question what I see most of the time, but with him... I'm not too sure. But I think I just saw some tears falling."

Mark didn't answer immediately, keeping his eyes on Benjamin's figure as it moved farther away from them. "What is it this time?"

"I think you should go after him..." Angel trailed off, realizing Mark had already left the second he grasped what Angel was about to say. His face twitched as he watched Mark head in the opposite direction Benjamin had gone.
