It had been a while since Minerva had last seen Benedict.

Minerva didn't expect this to happen. She looked at the gentle face from afar. The faint smile in his eyes stirred her emotions.

She pursed her lips and walked over to him.

Whether it was five years ago or five years later, Benedict had always been gentle and caring.

As soon as she approached, he had already pulled the chair out for her. He said softly, "Have a seat."

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Han Minerva sat down.

The waiter came over and asked what they wanted to have before leaving with the menu.

Benedict looked at her and started speaking in a soft tone.

"I thought that you didn't want to see me anymore."

Minerva paused for a moment. Looking at his elegant demeanor, she thought of what he had done in private and felt that it was

ironic. She smirked and teased, "Even if I didn't meet you today, you would've still been able to force me to contact you. Isn't that right, Mr. Benedict?"

When he heard her refer to him as "Mr. Benedict", his smile froze. He looked at Minerva helplessly.

"Why? Why are you so hostile to me? What have I done wrong?"

"Hostile?"

Minerva smiled and returned, "Why would you think I am being hostile?"

"If that's not the case, why won't you acknowledge me as your friend? Why would you refer to me as Mr. Benedict?"

Minerva looked at him and said nothing.
