Chapter 51
At the sales departinent, Benson began complaining again, “Why did you insist on grouping with me, Layla?
“Do you know how many people would die to be in a group with Sally? Why did you throw away such a chance?”
Layla then replied, “Because you’re a man.”
“You… Did you have the hots for me or something?” Benson crossed his ams and said, “It’s a fact that I’m single.”
She glanced at him and said, “How narcissistic
Then, she had him stand up. As she observed his accessories, she asked, “Who made you wear this tie?”
“I bought it online for around ten dollars,” Benson said.
“Change it,” Layla looked at it with disdain.
“I only have one tie,” he replied straightforwardly
She thought of the neat rows of ties Stephen had in their closet. Then, she muttered under her breath, “Forget it. It’s too expensive for you to get.”
Benson was speechless hearing that.
They sat together and saw that Tiffany’s client had arrived after a while. Tiffany pulled her client to the showroom Immediately and said, “Benson, get Mr. Keith
some water.”
Benson was preparing to
o get up when Layla said, “Sit down. You’re not going to just serve some water today. Contact your client now!
He glanced at Layla and sat back down.
When Tiffany saw that he wasn’t heeding her orders, she narrowed her eyes and sneered at Layla.
Afternoon came, and most of their colleagues already had clients, but both Layla and Benson had yet to close a deal. They were sitting on the couch, chatting away happily.
“Layla, what should we do now?” Benson asked.
“Are you nervous, Benson?” Layla propped her head.
“Layla… Don’t tell me the reason you haven’t taken the first step is because you’re nervous?” he asked.
She nodded and said, “I feel that it’s beneath me to do sales as someone who comes from a well–off family.”
“Why are you working and doing sales if you’re from a well–off family, then?” Benson asked.
At that moment, Layla thought of the infuriating Stephen and looked out of the window gloomily.
Suddenly, a car entered into her line of sight as it entered the car park. Why was be here?
Stephen had stayed in the company in the afternoon. When he thought of the incident last night and Layla’s grouping issue, he felt a little troubled and confused. However, he planned to visit Layla quietly to see how she fended off at work. He wondered whether she had adapted to her work environment,
Through the CCTV, Jonah took note of Stephen’s car and hurried out. “Layla, come out with me.”
Layla then held onto Benson’s arm and shifted herself to sit facing him “Jonah, you can go ahead if you have some business to take care of. Benson and I are going to find our client.”
Jonah looked at their intertwined arms. He lifted his head anxiously to look at the car that had parked right outside.
Stephen had parked at the same spot as he did yesterday. He would be able to see both Layla and Benson if he looked through the window.
Layla seemed to be clinging onto Benson from the back, and she even tilted her head at him to give him a sweet smile.
Stephen sat in his car as he watched them both. His eyes darkened as he held onto the steering wheel.
Benson looked at Layla, who was clinging onto him, and stuttered, “No… Wait… Layla, did you really take a lilong to me?”
Jonah hat Benson’s back and said in a hurry, “Go and brew some coffee now,
However, Layla held onto Benson. Although she had a gentle vibe, she ordered coldly, “Take off your coat and let me wear it.” Jonah was so nervous when he looked at Stephen that his legs began to shake.
Benson was stunned, but he got up and took off his coat to give it to Layla. He was unsure of what she was trying to play at At that moment, the black car parked outside sped away in an instant.
