The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 174

The secretarial assistants called out, "Hey, Benji Benji waved back, smiling. "Is Walter inside? They nodded.

Benji hesitated and asked. "Hasn't he been in a bad mood lately? Aren't you all suffering because of that? But you're still up for afternoon tea?"

A lively female secretary laughed. "Benji, you don't know-Walter's been feeling better the last couple of days. He even told Brian to order tea for everyone this afternoon"

Just then, Brian walked out of the office. Benji rushed over and grabbed Brian's shoulder in disbelief. "Brian, did Walter patch things up with Shakira"" Brian nodded. "Yeah"

"No way! Did Walter finally come to his senses? I gotta see this! Without waiting, Benji barged into the office. Walter looked up but didn't scold him.

At that moment. Benji was sure-Walter was in a fantastic mood. Not only was he cheerful, but he was dressed to the nines, complete with a Windsor knot and a flashy blue diamond brooch, looking like a peacock showing off its feathers. Benji quickly moved closer to Walter's desk, leaning in to get a good look. Walter frowned slightly. "What are you looking for?" Benji blurted. Just checking for any love bites on your neck!" Get lost."

"But Walter, you and Shakira are good now, right? Did you have sex?" Walter shot him a glare, eyes sparkling with annoyance. This time, Benji figured it out-they hadn't gotten that far yet.

He let out a small sigh of relief, realizing he actually had a reason for being there. Standing up straight, Benji casually walked around the desk, grinning as he leaned closer. Walter, have you thought about what we talked about last time?"

Walter didn't answer directly, instead saying. "Shakira's been busy with finals; she won't be free for a few days." Benji clapped his hands. "Perfect timing! With winter break coming up, you've got plenty of chances to get closer" Walter's mind wandered, his dark eyes clouding over for a moment. He casually mentioned, "After finals, her class is planning a camping trip, and family can join. She didn't invite me"

Benji got it right away. "Co for it! Shakira's probably too shy to ask you. You gotta make the first move!"
