The three ladies burst into laughter.As time passed, the night sky became adorned with sparkling stars. Benjamin drank his last glass of wine and addressed everyone, "We still have some time before the day ends, and I want to spend it with Margot. So, I'll be taking my leave now. Have fun without us."The others immediately teased, "Wow, it seems Benjamin has something more important to do.""Have a pleasant night, Benjamin!"Sebastian also stood up. "I have to send Tammy home. Do continue without us."The crowd fell silent. Why were the two of them so synchronized all of a sudden?Joseph cocked an eyebrow. "Since that's the case, I'll leave too. I have an early flight tomorrow.""Sure, let's go together." Benjamin smiled and walked over to Margot. He put his arm around her waist and pecked her on the cheek. "Let's go home."Smelling the strong scent of alcohol, Margot immediately looked at Tamara. "Tammy, give me one of your sobering scented tea leaves quickly. He drank too m
Benjamin walked in and looked at each photo. The smile plastered across his face deepened with each one. When he finished looking at all the pictures, his gaze fell on Margot, who was holding a cake in her hands.The candles on the cake flickered, and her beautiful face was adorned with a bright smile. She walked up to him. "Make a wish."Benjamin took the cake and placed it on the dining table. Then, he took her hand and sat her beside him. "Let's make a wish together.""Sure." Margot nodded.Both of them closed their eyes and clasped their hands together. After about ten seconds, Margot opened her eyes. She saw Benjamin smiling at her.Her nose prickled again, and she asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Did you make a wish?""Yes, I did." Benjamin nodded.Margot giggled. "Then, blow out the candles.""Let's blow them out together," suggested Benjamin.Margot nodded, and both of them leaned in toward the cake. They blew out the candles together."Happy birthday!" Ma
Shane's hoarse voice came through the phone. "There's a project in Aquarine that needs someone to oversee the entire process. You should head there."Benjamin scoffed, "Why not let Lance go instead? Didn't you always favor him?"However, Shane fell silent, and the line went eerily quiet.Benjamin furrowed his brows. "Hello?"After a while, Shane's voice came back, "You should go. I have fired Lance."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow in surprise. Strange. Shane had always strived to treat he and Lance as equals. Even if he and Lance fought every second of their lives, Shane wouldn't step in. Yet now he was saying that he fired Lance?Benjamin wanted to ask about it, but the call had already ended.Benjamin found it interesting. He chuckled and went into the bathroom.That dazed feeling swept over him again when he came out, and his brows furrowed.Just then, the doorbell rang.He looked abruptly at the door, feeling that the visitor should be a woman. However, as he opened the door,
"Alright, let's get in the car first." Tamara patted Margot's back.Margot nodded and was pushed into the passenger seat by Tamara.Tamara also got in the car before they drove away. Just then, a car arrived and stopped at the entrance of the residential area. The door opened, and Benjamin got out of the car. He stood at the entrance, looking at the bustling area with a dazed look on his handsome face.Harris got out of the car. "What's wrong, Mr. Inkling?"Benjamin muttered, "I don't know."He didn't know what was wrong with him. When he left, he seemed to have seen a slender figure dragging a suitcase. The figure was too far away, and he couldn't make out the person's face.As the car moved farther away, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart grew stronger. He urgently wanted to go back and see that girl.So he asked Harris to turn the car back, but no one was there. There was no figure dragging a suitcase. Were his eyes playing tricks on him? But what was with the strong fe
Shane fell silent. "You'd better keep your word." With that, he hung up the phone.Tamara asked, "Did Shane question you?""Yes." Margot nodded.Tamara sighed. "We're not sure which memories Benjamin lost. So I can understand why Shane is angry."Margot took a bite of the bread and looked at Tamara. "Tammy, can you help me check in on him?"Tamara nodded. "Sure."It was easy for her to get close to Benjamin. All she had to do was talk to Sebastian. However ..."I'm afraid that by the time Benjamin returns, you'd already be at Nammu Bay. You won't be able to receive our messages there." Tamara frowned.Margot said, "Just check on him. You can tell me when I come back.""That works," Tamara agreed with a nod.After eating, Margot went straight to Tamara's room. She took a shower and lay down on the bed for a nap.It was noon when she woke up. She stared blankly at the scenery outside the window. Memories of the moments she spent with Benjamin last night surfaced in her mind.
Night fell.Margot had been staying at the Simmons residence and hadn't gone to the club. Tamara didn't disturb her. She needed some quiet time alone, after all. Meanwhile, in Aquarine, inside a five-star hotel, Harris held a room card. "Mr. Inkling, here is your room card."Benjamin reached out to adjust his tie. He had just come back from a party. His handsome face carried a hint of laziness, and his captivating eyes narrowed. It glossed over, concealing his thoughts.He took the room card and glanced at it before closing his eyes.The elevator reached the designated floor. As the doors slowly opened, Benjamin walked out.Harris furrowed his brows at Benjamin's retreating figure. He couldn't figure out what was wrong with Benjamin.Was it because he was tired from socializing? He seemed absent-minded even when he was at the party. Did he remember something?Harris hurriedly caught up in a worry. "Are you not feeling well, Mr. Inkling?"Benjamin glanced at him. "Do I look li
Benjamin's brows furrowed tightly. He scanned the hotel room, carefully examining every corner, but found nothing suspicious.What was going on? Who was speaking just now?Benjamin's expression darkened. He stood in place and strained his ears, only to find that the voice from before was an illusion. It was as if it had never occurred.Benjamin closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose before entering the bathroom.He had a busy day and was quite tired. Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.He had a dream.In the dream, everything was pitch-black, with only a bright light above his head. He looked around bewilderedly.He tentatively took a step forward, and another light appeared in front of him. And under that light stood a person.He could see the other person's face. Surprisingly, it looked exactly like him!Benjamin's brows furrowed. "Who are you?"The person across from him looked at him coldly. "You are a fool."Benjamin stared at him in confusion. "Who are you exa
Tamara giggled. "Very well. Let's drink until we drop."Natasha immediately raised her glass. "Let's!"The three ladies had a blast, and they only went home late at night.Sebastian was waiting outside for Tamara. When he saw the drunken state she was in, his brows furrowed. He stepped forward and pulled Tamara into his arms. He whispered, "How much drink did you have?"Tamara giggled. "No, I didn't have much. Just a little …"She gestured with her hands, and her eyes glossed over. She looked fragile yet alluring. Sebastian carried her straight to the car.Margot and Natasha were helping each other up. Natasha couldn't help but giggle when she saw the couple. "Mr. Lynch is smitten."Margot chuckled. "That's nothing."Natasha stumbled a little to look at her. "What are you talking about?"Margot changed the subject. "Do you have anyone to send you home?"Natasha hesitated before nodding. "Yes. Jack is coming to pick me up."Margot burped. "You seem to be getting along well
