CHAPTER 75

A hand rested on Benjamin’s shoulder from behind. “Here you are.”

Benjamin turned. It was the police officer who grinned and then immediately threw a straight quick punch in his face.

Benjamin tilted his head at the last second. “Too slow,” his gaze turned sharp, and before the officer knew it, Benjamin’s knuckles struck his throat, and his feet shuffled back as he struggled to breathe. A second later, Benjamin came to his senses and tried to help the officer. “Are you okay, officer? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…”

The officer, however, kept moving away with his back lowered.

“I hope I didn’t cause irreparable damage,” Benjamin thought.

“Hey, Driver!” Elizabeth finally found him. “What are you doing out here?” she came up to him, acting all so naturally, then she lowered her voice. “Are you trying to steal someone else’s gift box?” “What?” Benjamin frowned. “What do I look like to you?” he shook his head in annoyance.” No. Forget it. I’m tired of this game. I’ll just wish him a happy birthday and be done with it. So what if I didn’t bring a gift? Shouldn’t me coming here be of more value than whatever gift I may bring them?”

“Your presence here should be considered worth more than the gift you bring?” Elizabeth snorted. “Who do you think you are? Some kind of WIP guest?”

Benjamin’s jaw made a hard line. Ignoring her words, he walked into the main hall, which was the only hall in the whole apartment. He went straight to Donovan and shook his hand. To others, it seemed a little weird because a waiter was shaking hands with the man of the moment. However, Donovan knew that Benjamin was Rebecca’s husband from hearing the conversations between Jane and Rebecca.
