Shane gave Benjamin a strange look. "That's fine. Take the opportunity while you're young to gain some experience. Of course, you shouldn't neglect your studies. Once you get the hang of how the company works, go back to your studies."Benjamin raised a brow. "Weren't you eager for me to inherit the company?"Shane glared at him. "Why would I be in a hurry for that? It's all because of the agreement you two made with me before."Benjamin paused for a moment. "What will happen to our agreement if I go back to school?""What else?" Shane glanced at Margot, his tone softening. "Margot is a good girl. I'm just afraid you'll let her down."Benjamin looked at Margot. "See? He's your grandfather now."Margot returned a helpless look. "Let's just listen to Grandpa Shane."Shane huffed. "The agreement is null and void. But it's still too early for you to get married. Wait until you graduate. I won't interfere."Benjamin fell silent. How was this any different from their agreement? He st
Trevor's icy gaze fell on Margot, and a powerful pressure instantly descended, making the atmosphere even more stifling.Benjamin gently looked at Margot. "You should eat too.""Okay," Margot replied.The two of them ignored Trevor's unpleasant expression and exchanged food with each other.Trevor couldn't maintain his composure from being ignored. After all, he was Benjamin's father and the Vice CEO of the Inkling Corporation. How could Benjamin have the audacity to disrespect him?Oh, how could he forget? Benjamin had never regarded him highly. It was the same every time they met.Thinking of what he had come to do today, Trevor suppressed his anger and picked up his spoon to start eating.The cheerful atmosphere at the dining table disappeared, and the meal ended in a tense setting.After the meal, Shane went to the living room and sat on the couch.Trevor walked over. "Dad, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. Shall we talk in the study room?"However, Shane hu
Or was someone deliberately preventing Lance from returning to the company? Trevor suddenly looked at Benjamin with a cold look. He spoke very seriously, "Benjamin, Lance is your brother. Why are you forcing his hand? What's wrong with both of you managing the company together?"Shane's face immediately darkened. "Trevor, do you actually think that Benjamin is hindering Lancey? Is this how a father should be? Blaming your son without knowing the truth?"Trevor's expression softened when he turned to Shane. "Dad, you know that Benjamin has always been jealous of Lancey. He's always going against him. I really can't think of any other reason why Lancey would suddenly resign. I ...""Shut up!" Trevor infuriated Shane. "I used to think that Victoria manipulated you, and her seduction left you confused. Now, it seems that this is your true colors. Even if you can't treat them equally, you should still be able to differentiate right from wrong, right?"Trevor noticed Shane's darkening
Both of them quieted down. Amidst the movie's sound, their breaths and heartbeats sync up. At that moment, tranquility enveloped them.Margot turned around to look at Benjamin's handsome face and suddenly reached out to gently touch him. Benjamin immediately held her hand. "What's wrong?"Margot smiled at him. "I was just thinking, how are you so good-looking? Every aspect of you fits my type."Benjamin smirked. "It seems that us being together is largely thanks to my face."Margot gave it a thought and nodded. "Half of it."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "What's the other half?"Margot cradled his face and pecked his lips. "The other half is your personality."It was not his face that attracted her, but rather his good personality. She noticed and remembered all the good things about him.Benjamin chuckled. "I didn't expect you to be a superficial person."Margot huffed earnestly, "I became one because of you."This statement greatly pleased Benjamin. He held her chin and kisse
Margot hesitated for a moment but soon compromised. "Fine, we'll open them together later."She stood up. "Let's go to the next place."Benjamin asked, "Where are we going next?"Margot smirked. "You'll find out when we get there."Benjamin nodded. "Alright, I'll leave everything to you today."Margot hooked her arm around his and left the private cinema. They got into the car and headed straight to the city center.After about 40 minutes, the car stopped in front of a restaurant.Margot opened the car door. "Let's go."Benjamin glanced at the place. "We're having dinner at this hour?"Margot gave him a mysterious smile. "Just alone would be boring. We definitely need some other activities."Benjamin nodded. "Okay, let's see what activities you have in mind."The two entered the restaurant. Margot gave her name to the waiter, and they were led into a lift.Benjamin didn't feel much at first. But when the glass on both sides of the elevator lit up, he turned and realized tha
Margot put on a smile. "It's okay. I can take the pictures if you can't. It's enough if one of us knows how to do it. When you're old and can't walk, I'll take ugly photos of you. By then, you won't even be able to catch me. Just imagining it is quite amusing."Benjamin retorted, "How are you so sure that I'll be the one unable to walk first? What if it's you?"Margot huffed confidently. "It will be you. I'm young and beautiful."Benjamin chuckled. "This is the first time I've heard that being unable to walk in old age is related to beauty."Margot rolled her eyes. "Of course. Good-looking people receive better treatment.""Okay, whatever you say." Benjamin thought she was being narcissistic. But at the same time, he found her adorable.Soon, the food was served. Margot handed another box to him. "Here, this is the second gift for today."Benjamin took it. "Are there gifts for every date?"Margot gave a mysterious smile. "That's a secret."Benjamin nodded. "Alright, I'll look
As the kiss ended, a blush tinted Margot's cheeks. Her eyes held a hint of bewilderment, and she shivered slightly. "Uh ... it's a bit cold. Let's go."Benjamin smiled. "Didn't you feel cold when you were dancing just now?"Margot shook her head. "Dancing was a warm-up exercise. I didn't feel cold at all."Benjamin continued to embrace her as they stood up and left the restaurant. "Where to next?"Margot smiled. "Home."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "It's still early, and we're going home already?"Margot shrugged. "It's a beautiful night. Shouldn't we spend it at home?"Under Margot's twinkling gaze, Benjamin was at a loss for words.After exiting the restaurant, Benjamin's phone rang. He checked it and said to Margot, "It's Seb."Margot said, "Answer it."Benjamin answered the call, saying, "Hello?"Sebastian asked, "Where are you?"Benjamin chuckled. "What's the matter?"Sebastian huffed. "Come to 1999 for a drink."Benjamin glanced at Margot. "Why should I drink with yo
"This is great!" Someone immediately cheered, and others followed suit. They began hollering at Benjamin and Margot.Margot grasped Benjamin's hand excitedly. "This sounds fun! I want to play!"Benjamin narrowed his eyes threateningly at the person with the cherry. "You better behave. I won't spare you if you play any tricks.""Don't worry, you're the star tonight. I wouldn't dare mess with you." The person quickly reassured him with a smile.Benjamin and Margot sat in the chairs that had already been arranged. The person with the cherry approached, holding the string that suspended the cherry between them."Lean in closer!""Closer! Even closer!"The surrounding crowd started to cheer.Benjamin and Margot leaned in, approaching the cherry right before them.Margot blinked at Benjamin playfully while Benjamin's smile deepened."Alright, let's begin!" The person yelled, and the two leaned toward the cherry together.However, just as they were about to bite the cherry, it was
