Ex-husband Goes Money Comes by Yvone Zabielski novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456 Fulfill Her Wish

Bentley didn’t pick it up and didn’t answer.

Breenda stared at his expression and raised her eyebrows. “If you think you can’t survive the cruel test, you can quit at any time and go back to where you belong.”

Bentley immediately got up and walked towards her, picking up the thick stack of documents.

He said, “I won’t quit. Don’t worry, Ms. Callis.‘

He would at most get beaten and humiliated if he really couldn’t finish that.

If he didn’t accept the test, it meant that he rejected Breenda’s test. He was afraid that Breenda would be even more distant from him and it would be harder for him to win her heart.

Bentley took the documents back to his seat and started to carefully translate and typed them into the computer.

Breenda looked at Bentley’s serious expression and held back her laughter.

The two quickly got back to work. The office room was harmonious. No one said anything to break the silence and peace.

Two and a half hours later, it was lunchtime. Breenda got up, stroked her skirt, and looked at Bentley.

“Mr. McGraw, you can’t skip lunch no matter how busy you are. Are you coming with me?”

Bentley worked very hard but had finished translating only nine documents. He was devoted to the task and answered without thinking, “I’m not hungry yet.”

Breenda’s face instantly sank. Idiot, she thought.

She shook her head helplessly and walked towards the door.

Bentley finally realized that Breenda was inviting him to have lunch together.

He immediately put aside the computer and chased after her. “Mrs. Callis, I’m new here. Can you please buy me lunch today?”

Breenda kept walking, casting a sidelong glance at Bentley. “As a secretary, did you just ask your superior to buy you lunch on your first day at the company? Pretty arrogant, Mr. McGraw.”

Bentley was rendered speechless.

He was gathering all the cells controlling his emotional intelligence in his brain, trying to come up with the best answer.

“I mean, you take me to lunch, and I will pay for it.”

Breenda sized Bentley up and down. She thought he was funny and she even praised him, “That’s an interesting answer. The always silent Mr. McGraw said such pleasing words. You’ve made progress.

Good.”

Bentley smiled and felt happy.

However, Breenda added, “But didn’t you come to live in our house because you were penniless and lost your phone and wallet? How are you gonna pay for lunch? Will they just give you the food because you are Bentley McGraw, or is that your lost wallet will fly back out of thin air?”

Bentley’s face paled.

He thought, did I slip?

Did Breenda guess something?

As Bentley thought, Breenda’s face turned cold and she mocked, “You are not good at this, Mr. McGraw. You should’ve acted more like it if you planned to pretend to be miserable.”

Bentley was speechless.

Breenda looked away and went straight to the elevator.

In the elevator, none of them said anything and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

Bentley had just left some good impression of him on Breenda, but his effort all went in vain. He couldn’t feel more defeated.

He explained, “I really didn’t have my wallet and phone with me on the night I went to your house. I was drenched in the rain all night. I didn’t lie to you.

Breenda was unmoved. “It’s my parents who agreed to let you stay. It’s useless to explain it to me. I won’t believe you.”

Tinkle.

The elevator door opened.

Breenda walked out first in her high heels.

“Breenda…” Bentley followed, still trying to explain.

“Call me Ms. Callis.” Breenda didn’t look at him.

“Alright, Ms. Callis. I can explain,” said Bentley.
