Kyra only thought of talking with Selena for a few minutes, but she ended up talking for hours because Selena didn’t let her go.Selena wanted to use this opportunity to get something beneficial because her situation was not looking good, either. She didn’t directly tell Kyra about her situation but was expertly steering Kyra’s thoughts into helping her.At around three o’clock in the afternoon.Benjamin entered the Benz car of Elizabeth even though he wanted to sit next to Rebecca in her car.As he saw Rebecca sit in her Porsche car, Benjamin wanted to slap himself. “Why did you fill her car with gas if you wanted her to be with you? You’re such a helpless fool.”As Benjamin and Rebecca left in their cars, Rye was just watching from the first floor.“Are you not going to go?” Uzza asked her.“They are going in different cars,” Rye said. “So, I don’t really see the reason why I should go as well.”“What if they stop at a restaurant along the way?” Uzza said.Rye’s heart shook for a se
It was a silver Benz A-class limousine worth over 60,000 dollars. It was nothing special compared to Tracy’s McLaren which was worth over 330,000 dollars.Tracy and her friends didn’t even know that this Benz car belonged to Roshan’s family. However, it wasn’t the car that caught their attention, but the man that stepped out of the car.He was wearing a classy black cotton shirt and cream-colored pants, both of which were ironed to the T. The smart and casual clothing enhanced his look. His clothing neatly fit his body, leaving his skin just enough room to breathe.“H-How fair and handsome he is…” some school girls clutched their cheeks in pleasant surprise.Tracy’s mouth widened as Benjamin was coming in their direction.Rebecca’s car stopped in the distance, but she didn’t step out and just watched.“Mr. Benjamin…” Lisa quickly scuttled forth and hugged him.“EH?” Tracy and her friends and some other students were shocked to see that.Rebecca’s mouth also widened now. “This little t
Rye looked at Benjamin, “Shall we go?”“Yeah,” Benjamin said and looked at Lisa as if asking her to let go of his hand, but Lisa just grinned sheepishly. She clearly didn’t want to let go of his hand, even though Rye was right before her.Rye was raising her hand to also flick her finger on Lisa’s forehead.“Don’t,” Benjamin said, stopping her. With an anti-clockwise movement of his hand, Benjamin was able to effortlessly free his hand from Lisa, leaving her a bit speechless.Lisa and Roshan then entered their mother’s Benz car and waited until Benjamin entered the car.Eventually, both Rye and Benjamin left in their cars.Tracy was still standing there, feeling a bit lost at the moment. She looked down at the ground and saw the paper that Lisa had dropped. She felt like taking the paper, but she obviously couldn’t do it in front of her friends, so she had to leave without taking it.A few minutes later.As Benjamin and the kids were traveling in the car, Lisa saw a watermelon seller
Benjamin was driving home.Lisa once again asked him to stop at a clothing store. Benjamin didn’t have a good feeling about this.So, he looked over his shoulder and asked her, “Do you have money for buying the clothes and other accessories?”“U-Um, no, but…” Lisa looked at him as if asking him to pay for her.Before Benjamin could say anything, Roshan said, “You can’t expect him to pay for your clothes, sis.”“I-I’m still a student,” Lisa quickly said. “When I get a job, I’ll be able to pay.”“You should just marry so that your husband will pay for you,” Roshan said. “If he doesn’t, you can just divorce him and take fifty percent of his property. Then you can buy a lot of things.”Lisa kept looking at Benjamin. “Please… Just this once.”“No,” Benjamin didn’t even hesitate to reply.Roshan snickered.Lisa got angry and slapped her brother on the shoulder. “You shut up.”“You’re getting angry because I told the truth,” Roshan laughed some more.“Truth? What truth?”“That you need to ha
“I shouldn’t have said yes,” Rebecca was still shaking her head. “If the kids ask me to pay for their clothes, what am I going to tell them?”After some thinking, she left her purse in the car.“If they ask me, I’ll tell them I forgot the purse,” Rebecca thought and then entered the store with the intention of not buying anything from the store. After all, if she were to buy anything, who’s going to pay for that? There was no way she could ask or even expect Benjamin and Rye to pay for her clothes. At the same time, she couldn’t expect them to pay for Lisa and Roshan’s clothes, either.She was looking for a moment where she could talk with Lisa and Roshan in private, but they kept roaming around and didn’t make it any easier for her to talk with them. She wanted to tell them to not buy anything because she didn’t bring her wallet. She believed that they would understand her.She eventually managed to talk to Lisa alone and told her the issue.However, Lisa said, “It’s okay, Aunt. Mr.
Lisa acted like nothing happened, and she picked six pairs of clothes of different styles.Roshan, however, picked just one pair of clothes.Rye, on the other hand, also picked a black dress and asked Benjamin if he would like to see her in this dress.He told her, “You’d look good in any dress.”Rye laughed a little.Benjamin then went over to where Rebecca was. “Why aren’t you choosing any dress?”“It’s fine. I have lots of dresses in my room,” she told him. “So, I don’t need a new pair.”“Still, I’m buying for everyone, so I’d be happy if you also choose whatever clothes you like,” Benjamin said and walked away.And then, Rebecca chose the cheapest red dress which cost 49 dollars.Soon, everyone reached the counter. Benjamin was the last person to get there. He had picked a gray suit.The worker calculated the bill. Lisa’s clothes amounted to 1232 dollars. Roshan’s clothes were worth 140 dollars. Rebecca’s clothes were worth 49 dollars. Rye’s three pairs of clothes were worth 758 d
Roshan and Lisa ordered the same ice cream: Tower Delight.Rye ordered Frozen Heart and then looked at Benjamin. He said he’ll take the same thing, which made her smile.Rebecca ordered Triple Scoop Cake.After the waiter noted the orders and left, Benjamin looked at Roshan and asked, “So, was that the girl you were talking about?”“Y-Yeah,” Roshan’s heart skipped a beat because he didn’t want to talk in front of his aunt.Rebecca was already giving him an icy glance. “A fourteen year old shouldn’t be dating,” Rebecca spoke bluntly. “So,wait until at least you turn 21. Till then, focus on your studies and build some skills.”“I agree with your aunt,” Benjamin said, surprising Roshan because Benjamin wrote a love letter for him in the morning. “What you think is love is probably just attraction. So, don’t go around looking for women that you can love. You don’t find love that way. It’s something that builds over time.”“Before you approach any girl and ask her out, take your time,” Rye
Rebecca and others returned home.Rebecca did not take her purse out of her car. She even left the dress she bought.When was the last time she had someone else buy anything for her? It had been years, and she didn’t even remember the last time it happened.She didn’t want to owe anything to anybody. But if she were to give the money that cost for the dress to Benjamin, it wouldn’t look good on her part. So, she wanted to return the favor in another way.But how?After some thinking, she brought a sealed pair of inline skates over to Benjamin and said, “Please take these.”Benjamin remembered that she had bought multiple skates a few months back. “I already have a pair.”“But these are of top quality,” Rebecca said.“Don’t you want to use them then?”“I’m only a beginner, and I already have a pair that I use,” she said. “So, I think you will put these to better use.”“Since you put it that way, I won’t refuse,” Benjamin took the skates from her, and both their fingers touched that mo
