Margot pushed open the door of the VIP room and was greeted by the intimate scene. Her eyes widened, and she stood frozen in the doorway.As Benjamin pulled Kayla into his embrace, he sensed that something was wrong. He abruptly released her and opened his eyes. It was then he saw Margot entering the room. His breathing hitched, and he immediately stood up to walk toward her. "Margot, let me explain ..." Margot smiled. She had been briefly startled but quickly regained her composure. She walked inside the room. "There's no need to explain. I trust you."She had only been distracted, and some images from their past lives briefly flashed in her mind. She saw scenes of Benjamin and Kayla being together. Her heart ached from the memory, but it was only for a brief moment.Benjamin didn't love Kayla, and she was certain of that.Benjamin anxiously took her hand, observing her expression closely. He seemed to be confirming whether she genuinely believed him.After a while and seeing
Kayla's hands clutched the tray tightly, and her knuckles even turned white from the force. Resentment flashed in her eyes as she left the VIP room.Margot took in Kayla's expression. A cold look flickered in her eyes before it quickly disappeared. "Alright, we'll always be together. Isn't trusting each other the most basic thing to do?" She was struggling to catch her breath as Benjamin continued to hold her.Smiling, Benjamin released her. "What did you and Tamara talk about?"Margot, however, playfully smiled. "Boys shouldn't inquire about girl talk. It's a secret!"Benjamin led her to the couch, where he wrapped his arms around her waist. He rested his head on her shoulder. He resembled a big puppy nestled in Margot's embrace."Fine. Hold me. I'm going to take a nap," he said with a muffled voice.Margot nodded. "Sure. Go to sleep."The VIP room had dim lighting. With the soft woman in his arms, Benjamin soon fell asleep. This position seemed to make him comfortable, and h
"Alright, I promise." Smiling, Margot nodded."Good girl." Benjamin kissed her nose and got up, pulling her to her feet. "Do you want to go outside and check things out?"Margot shook her head. "No, I want to stay with you."Benjamin chuckled. "But didn't you say you haven't been back for a long time and want to visit?"Margot huffed. "One has to learn to take a break amid busyness. It's what people call 'slacking off'.""Slacking off?" Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "I like that term."Smiling, Margot was about to reply when her phone rang."Hello?" She took out her phone. It was a call from the manager on the sixth floor.The manager exclaimed, "Boss, please come down and take a look. A group of people is causing trouble because of one of our servers. The situation is getting out of control."Margot's brows furrowed. "Alright, I'm on my way."She hung up the phone and turned to Benjamin. "Are you coming with me, or do you want to wait here for me?"Benjamin hummed. "I'll come
Margot's brows furrowed. Before she could retort, a figure dashed out from beside her. This person grabbed a wine bottle from the table and swung it down at Steve's head.A loud bang echoed through the room. Steve immediately sobered up and clutched his head.Lucas, who was on the side, was equally stunned. He stared at the scene in disbelief.Benjamin tossed the bottle away, his handsome face turning cold. He hissed sharply. "I dare you to say that again."Margot was also surprised. She quickly stepped forward, asking, "How are you? Are you hurt?"Benjamin's face softened at her reaction. He smiled as he assured her, "I'm fine."Steve glared at Benjamin and cursed through clenched teeth, "How dare you hit me! I'll fucking kill you!"With that, he grabbed a wine bottle and swung it toward Benjamin.Lucas also came back to his senses and rushed toward Benjamin.The situation was rapidly spiraling out of control.Margot paled, and she instinctively stepped in front of Benjamin.
A look of surprise appeared on Benjamin's face. He placed his fingers on the buttons of his shirt and gave Margot a weird smile. "Are you that eager, Margot?"Margot remained expressionless as she stared at him.Benjamin's smile gradually faded, replaced by a hint of affection and helplessness. He chuckled. "I'm fine."Though he said so, he reached for his buttons and unbuttoned them. His chiseled chest was the first to be revealed. Margot's gaze grew increasingly heated as it swept inch by inch over his body. Seeing that there were no injuries on the front, she breathed a sigh of relief."Turn around," Margot instructed.She remembered that the wine bottle had struck his back while he was protecting her. The thought made her heart ache.Benjamin knew what she wanted to see and didn't hesitate. He casually tossed his shirt aside, exposing his upper body completely. Then, he turned around to reveal his back.Margot's eyes widened slightly as she noticed a large bruise on his shou
"Okay." Jake hummed.As soon as she hung up, Benjamin walked in. Seeing her sitting there with a cold expression, he asked, "What's wrong?"Margot looked at him and suddenly opened her arms. "I want a hug."Benjamin was taken aback but quickly walked over and embraced her. Feeling her leaning in, Benjamin kissed the top of her head.Margot nuzzled into his chest. "Why did you wake up so early?"He chuckled. "It's already nine in the morning, and I'm running late for work."Margot pouted. Fine, it was her who woke up late."You should hurry to work." Margot released him. "Does your back still hurt?"Benjamin shook his head. "No. Since we're both up, let's have breakfast. I've made some toast, your favorite."Margot's eyes lit up. "You're too good to me. I'll reward you with a kiss!"Benjamin closed his eyes in compliance.Margot pecked him on the face. "I'm going to freshen up now."Benjamin stared at her in adoration. "Be careful."When Margot came out, Benjamin was just p
Sebastian, the Custry family's lost child, was mistaken at birth. But he had no intention of returning to the Custry family. Initially, the Custry family did not agree, but he stood firm. He even held some leverage over the Custry family, forcing them to compromise.Margot was left speechless by Tamara's retelling. "Margot?" Tamara called after a while."I … I'm still here. I'm just too shocked. I knew Sebastian had means, but I didn't expect him to act so decisively!" Margot stammered. With this resolved, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble? In her past life, Sebastian and Tamara were separated partly because of the Custry family and partly because of Elijah. Now, it was different. Tamara had resolved things with Elijah, and Sebastian had dealt with the Custry family. Didn't this mean a bright future for them? Wait …That sounded a bit strange. But that didn't matter! "Congratulations!" Margot immediately exclaimed. "You and Sebastian can enjoy your relationship wholehear
"By the way, Tammy, how confident are you in your exams?" Margot asked.Tamara was eating a grape. She mumbled with her mouth full, "About 80%."Margot looked at her with surprise. "Do you have an 80% chance of achieving a perfect score, or are you talking about going to Clacton?"Tamara looked at her. "What are you talking about? A perfect score? Am I a genius? I'm just 80% confident about going to Clacton."Margot smiled. "I knew it. But you never know. You might end up getting a perfect score."Tamara immediately handed her a grape. "Quick, eat something. Enough with the nonsense."The two of them burst into laughter.The several men on the side each held a wine glass. Sebastian had a calm and composed demeanor, Benjamin had an elegant and charming look, and Joseph appeared cool and collected. They all smiled as they watched the two women laughing.Benjamin turned to speak with Sebastian, but he noticed that Joseph's gaze had been lingering on Margot. It was an emotion every
