CHAPTER 164

Christopher was howling at Benjamin. “One second you call me and say you’re coming, and then you show up hours later and say sorry. What do I look like, huh? Just because the chairman is favoring you and Damian after that’ incident, you and Damian think you can come and go whenever you want?”

“So Damian didn’t come to work today?” asked Benjamin while preparing a special pizza. “Nope. Sasha also didn’t. Why do they have to take leave days after their grandmother’s death? It makes no freaking sense.”

“Cut them some slack, Mr. Manager.” Benjamin quickly finished decorating the pizza and pushed the plate toward Christopher.

“Y-You made it for me?” Christopher was surprised for a second, but then quickly grabbed the plate and walked away. “Don’t think this will make me overlook your recent lack of attendance. You should work tonight and cover those lost hours, so prepare yourself.”

“Tsk, it’s her again,” he didn’t know what to do. “Why doesn’t she stop?”

He didn’t respond to her call, but then his phone rang again. “This woman is really persistent,” a deep frown settled on his forehead. “Maybe I should clearly tell her that I’m not interested in her.” After some thinking, he answered the call. “Finally…” Jane’s voice contained a mixture of many emotions. “What do you want?” Benjamin straightforwardly asked. “If I say I want you, will you surrender yourself to me?” she asked rather seriously. “Of course, I won’t,” Benjamin’s reply was quick enough to irk Jane’s ego. “So, tell me, why did you call?”

“The thing is… there’s something I want to talk

right now.” “But this is really important,” Jane sounded genuine. “Rebecca and I fought at a restaurant.” “What?” Benjamin’s eyebrows raised together. “What kind of

not about a meal!” Jane

“Then?”

“It was about YOU.”

Silence followed.

He didn’t know a lot of things about her professional life or her friend circle for that matter. He could have asked her, but he wanted her to open herself up to him. However, now, he really wanted to know what had happened between Rebecca and Jane. What the hell made them
