Yvonne smirked.
She returned the phone to Benjamin and said, "Thank you, Benjamin."
Benjamin took his cell phone back in a daze.
"Thank you so much for today. It'll be my treat next time, Benjamin," Yvonne said with a smile.
Benjamin blankly nodded his head.
He took a few steps and suddenly stopped.
A thought flashed across his mind.
He finally came to his senses.
Hold on, why had Yvonne called him here?
She wasn't here to go on a date with him, she wanted to ask him for Tobias' itinerary!
Benjamin's head buzzed.
He rushed in front of Yvonne in a flash.
Yvonne had thought that Benjamin was going to leave, but he suddenly rushed in front of her, causing her to jump in shock.
She stared at him.
Benjamin took a deep breath and said, "Miss Simpson, don't do anything stupid!"
Yvonne was speechless.
She looked at Benjamin in confusion.
What did he mean by stupid? She couldn't understand what Benjamin was talking about.
Benjamin looked conflicted and extremely devastated. "Miss Simpson, I know you're gorgeous and attractive, but Mr. Whitlock only has Miss Godfrey in his heart! He's not interested in any other woman. Don't even think about it, it's impossible!"
Yvonne was at a loss for words.
She felt attacked.
How could Benjamin's imagination be so wild?
Meanwhile, Benjamin was still miserably saying, "Miss Simpson, you're a wonderful lady, many men would be more than happy to give you their love. However, it's absolutely impossible for Mr. Whitlock! Miss Simpson, please, give up."
His eyes reddened as he spoke.
He felt upset. Very, very upset.
He had initially thought that Yvonne was inviting him on a date. Alas, it turned out that her goal was Tobias!
When had Yvonne fallen for Tobias?
How had he not even known about this?!
"Mr. Simpson, are you done?!" Yvonne yelled.
Benjamin was stunned.
"I'm done," he said.
Yvonne forcefully pushed Benjamin away, "Benjamin, oh Benjamin. You're tall and handsome, so why is your brain only for display? Do you even know who Tobias is? He's my best friend's husband! How could I even pine for my own best friend's husband? You have a ridiculous imagination."
Benjamin was speechless.
He looked at Yvonne in surprise and bewilderment. "Miss Simpson, then why...?"
Could it be that he was mistaken? Was Yvonne not interested in Tobias at all?
Yvonne took a deep breath. "I asked you for Mr. Whitlock's itinerary for a different reason. It's definitely not what you were thinking! There's no way that I would fall for Tobias, not a chance in hell!"
"Really?" Benjamin suddenly felt relieved.
"Of course," said Yvonne as she looked at Benjamin with a resigned expression. "I would fall for you before I ever fall for Mr. Whitlock."
How ridiculous. Tobias belonged to Natalie, how could Yvonne ever have any intentions towards
Tobias?
I would fall for you before I ever fall for Mr. Whitlock.
I would fall for you before I ever fall for Mr. Whitlock.
I would fall for you before I ever fall for Mr. Whitlock.
Right that moment, Benjamin felt like he was ascending to heaven.
In the end, he couldn't remember when he left, or how he left.
He could only feel his entire body fluttering up into the sky, with nothing but empty thoughts.
After Benjamin left, Yvonne called Natalie out.
She told her that she had seen Tobias' itinerary.
"It seems that Mr. Whitlock will be going on a business trip the day after tomorrow. Based on the schedule, he won't be back for two days. Natalie, this is your opportunity," said Yvonne to Natalie.
Natalie's gaze wavered.
Tobias would be going on a business trip the day after next, and he would be gone for two days.
