Minerva watched as the two of them talked to each other.

The conversation was indeed awkward.

"Oh, who are you?" Betty stared at Benedict curiously. He was a good-looking man. His eyes were fixed on Minerva from the moment he appeared. In an instant, Betty became curious and gossipy. Looking at Minerva's attitude towards Maddox, Betty suspected that she was either cheating with both of them, or she was in a love-triangle.

On second thought, she figured that Minerva was not a frivolous person judging from the conversation just now. She gave up on the idea and looked between Benedict and Minerva.

"Why are you here?" Minerva asked when Maddox wasn't around.

Benedict smiled as he replied, "Didn't I say that it was a coincidence?"

"Is that so?" How could Minerva believe him? She had already met him twice before, including the things that he had done with her company. She had a feeling that Benedict had come here on purpose. Although they had talked about it before, it didn't mean that he could fool around with her.

Because there was someone around, Minerva could not talk in a straightforward manner. However, Betty was not a fool. How could she not notice the raging emotions between the two of them? She smiled awkwardly, but did not walk away.

Minerva couldn't help but praise Betty in her heart. If she had said that she wouldn't bother them and allowed the both of them to talk, Maddox would definitely fly into a rage when he returned and saw that Benedict and Minerva were alone.

She looked at Betty with gratitude and asked in a low voice.

"Betty, what else do you want to buy?"

"I'm almost done. I just need to get some tissues there. Then, we can go home."

Minerva nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll go with you."

After that, she looked at Benedict and said, "Mr. Benedict, I have to go shopping with my friend. Please excuse me." After that, she smiled, grabbed Betty's arm and left with the cart.

After a few steps, Betty turned back and said,
