The security guard politely replied, "I'm unaware of Mr. Fulton's private matters. But young lady, let me remind you that Mr. Fulton isn't someone you should be trifled with. You'd better not have any ideas about him."
Grace was speechless.
She was about to say something when she suddenly heard a car horn behind her.
Grace turned around and saw Benjamin's car parked by the roadside. Benjamin opened the car door and got out, walking straight toward her.
"Grace, why are you here so late?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you the question?" Grace replied.
Benjamin had happened to be passing by when he saw her, so he had turned around. He looked up and saw the sign on the building, which read "Futurelink Corporation". The words seemed particularly irritating at this moment.
"Are you here for Xander?" Benjamin asked. His eyes were filled with jealousy as he tried to read her expression.
But Grace simply replied nonchalantly, "Mr. Hawkins, this is my business, and it has nothing to do with you."
With a single sentence, she made it clear that they should keep their distance.
Benjamin, however, wasn't going to give up. "It's late, and it's not safe for you to be alone. Let me drop you back."
Grace instinctively refused and waved the car keys in her hand. "No need, Mr. Hawkins. I drove here myself."
After saying that, Grace turned and walked toward her car, but Benjamin caught up with her quickly. "Grace, do you hate me that much?"
Grace smiled casually and replied, "Mr. Hawkins, you're overthinking it. I just don't want to trouble you."
With that, Grace left, leaving him behind.
Benjamin stood there, dumbfounded, and watched as she drove away.
"Benjamin, you're back. Have you eaten? I'll reheat the food—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Benjamin had already walked right up to her. His tone was devoid of warmth as he said, "Save it."
Susan suddenly felt that Benjamin's mood was off, and it made her feel uneasy.
"If you don't need it, then forget it. You've had a long day. Get some rest. I'll go back to my room."
After saying that, Susan turned to leave. But she had only taken a few steps when Benjamin stopped her.
"Wait!"
Susan trembled, and a shiver ran down her spine.
She stammered, "D-Do you have anything else to say?"
