Minerva frowned when she heard the sound of her phone's ringtonel. Who would be calling her at this time?

Juliette? Minerva thought.

Minerva put down the cup and picked up the phone to have a look, but she found out that it was not Juliette's number.

Instead, it was a call from Benedict.

She had saved his contact before.

Benedict called her at this time. What did he want to do?

Minerva thought of the purpose of his call and picked up the phone, "Hello?"

Benedict heard her voice and finally let out a sigh over the end of the phone, "That's great, you're fine."

Minerva was confused.

That's why he called me? Minerva thought.

Benedict said, "Your phone has been turned off these days and I can't get in touch with you."

Minerva didn't know how to reply to his words, so she kept silent and took a bite of the sandwich.

A light chewing sound came to Benedict's ears. He was stunned for a moment and then asked softly, "Haven't you had breakfast yet?"

Minerva saw that the traffic jam in front of her was too heavy. Therefore, she took another sip of oatmeal. She then swallowed the sandwich in her mouth.

"Mr. Yardley, what are you calling for?"

There was a moment of silence, then he whispered, "I was just making sure that you're fine. If possible, I want to treat you to a meal and see you... are you free now?" Upon hearing this, Minerva pursed her lips. After taking a look at the situation outside the car, she told him directly.

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient. I'm... on my way to the Yardley Corporation."

Her words made Benedict stay silent for a long time. Then, Minerva noticed that his tone had become a little more anxious. "Why are you going to the Yardley Corporation? Didn't you just returned home? You should have a good rest," said Benedict. Minerva smiled faintly. "I'm not doing anything. I just wanted to take a look."

She took another sip of the oatmeal casually.
