"Okay." Hesper grinned. However, despite how good it looked on her face, her smile looked fake. "Then I'll start working on my draft, Mr. Lynch. I don't think you'll need my help with company matters, right?"
"No, I don't," Benji said through gritted teeth.
Renee sighed helplessly. It was evident that Hesper was teasing Benji, but she found it ridiculous how Benji fell for it despite being smart most of the time.
"Alright, I'll excuse myself now." Benji turned around. After receiving Hesper's instruction, Renee went out as well.
Although Benji was very familiar with the company's affairs, it would still be somewhat difficult for him to handle everything alone. Luckily, Hesper's studio had just started, so she and Jessie were enough to handle things over there even if Renee was not around.
Hesper lowered her head and looked at her draft for a moment in silence.
She had not even started designing for Elise, Rickard was currently on his deathbed, and she had yet to solve the matter regarding Juniper, so she could not possibly go back to Fredonia for the time being.
She could only finish things ahead of time there and figure out a solution later. With that thought in mind, she had a bit of a headache. She hoped that Juniper would act quickly so that she could resolve things early on as well.
