In Aryadelle, Ben had returned but had not gone home to rest immediately. He saw Chad's message as soon as he turned on his phone and called Chad right away.
Once Chad explained the situation, Ben instantly told the driver to take him to Tate Industries.
Natalie was slightly surprised when she saw Ben.
"Mr. Schaffer, to what do I owe the pleasure?" She set her work aside and stepped out of her desk. "Do you want something to drink?"
"Nothing." A cold smile appeared on his face. "Natalie, you should know why I'm here, right?"
She watched as the smile faded from his face and realized that there was no point for her to fake ignorance.
"I can guess." Natalie led him to the couch to sit. "This is about last night, right? I can explain."
"Sure. Explain away." Ben sat down casually and stared at her.
She lowered her gaze thoughtfully for a few moments and said, "My cousin came to Aryadelle to work after graduating. My aunt reminded me over and over again to look after her. I reminded her right away when she became Layla’s class teacher that Layla hates me and told her to not take the job. Not only did she not listen, but she has also taken the initiative to get closer to Layla by offering to tutor her."
"You and your cousin are two independent individuals. So long as Layla doesn't hate her the way she hates you, you shouldn't have interfered." "Mr. Schaffer, you don't understand. My cousin's situation is slightly more complicated than that. It's fine that she wants to tutor Layla, but she brought Layla and Elliot's bodyguard to her apartment. That's hardly appropriate. My aunt has already arranged a match for my cousin, you see," she explained with resignation. " If I fail to control my cousin, my aunt will blame me for it."
