When she got off work, Minerva went downstairs and saw Benedict waiting for her. Thinking of what he said earlier that afternoon when he sent her back, she sighed heavily in her heart. He seemed to really be pursuing her.

What could she say in order to make him give up?

After thinking for a while, Minerva acted like she didn't see him. She held her car keys and headed directly towards the parking lot.

After turning around and taking a few steps, someone caught up with her. Benedict blocked her way.

"Didn't we agree to let me take you home? I'll pick Beanie up on the way."

"I think you're mistaken. We never agreed to that," Minerva pursed her red lips and rejected him.

Benedict was stunned for a moment. However, he quickly recovered with a smile. "Minerva, don't feel pressured. I merely wanted to put in a little effort."

"I'm not pressured, but I have my own car," she waved the keys in her hand at him, "I have to drive home."

His eyes shifted.

"Then, may I have the honour of catching a ride with you while you go and pick Beanie up?"

Minerva was speechless.

Why did she feel so tired?

"If I'm not mistaken, you drove here, right? What are you going to do with your car if you follow me? You'd better drive your own car back today, Mr. Benedict."

As she walked, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She stood at her spot and stared blankly ahead.

Benedict noticed her behavior and looked at where she was looking.

The underground parking lot was dim. A tall and slender figure leaned against a car, half of his alluring face hidden in the shadow, and his deep eyes looked inexplicable. Who could it be other than Maddox, whom she chased away?

Minerva's lips moved but no words came out of her mouth. She subconsciously looked at Benedict, who walked over to stand beside her.

The last time they met in the supermarket, the atmosphere was tense enough. That day, they met again in the parking lot.
