With his hands on the steering wheel and his eyes forward, Benjamin briefly explained the reason for his presence here.
"I came here for the cooperation. I saw you on the street and you seemed to be in a hurry, so I went after you to find out what was going on. Later I found that you were chased, so I drove my car here to help you.”
Ruby thought about the situation just now and gave a smile, "Thank you for appearing in time."
"Not at all."
Benjamin smiled unconcernedly and swept his gaze towards the rear-view mirror, lingering on Ruby's face for a moment before changing the subject.
"But what are those people and how did you get here?"
After thinking about it, Ruby didn't hide it and briefly described the details.
Only, she hid the purpose of her visit to Z Country.
Benjamin’s brows knitted, "These people not only hijacked the plane, but also pursued you here, what do they want? And why are you suddenly going to Z Country?"
He asked the question very naturally, like he was concerned from the heart.
Ruby hesitated, but did not tell the truth, only said: "We have things to deal with."
Before she could finish her words, at that moment, Levi, who had been silent, suddenly took her hand, looked straight ahead, and through the rear-view mirror, his gaze was fixed on Benjamin's face.
"We haven't been able to have a honeymoon since we got married, so we're just going to Z Country to have some relaxing time."
Ruby looked at him sideways, met his smiling eyes, pondered before she opened her mouth, "Yeah, it is true."
This time, Benjamin’s eyes darkened.
He lifted his eyes and looked into the rearview mirror, meeting Levi’s gaze for a split second before moving away with an expressionless face.
"Oh." Not asking any more questions, he only said, "It's not safe for you to be out there right now, I'll take you back to my place, you can stay there. There's no telling when these mercenaries will pop up, you can leave after making sure you are safe."
Ruby felt that this was indeed the case, so she didn't refuse: "Thank you."
Benjamin smiled and his tone was much softer, "You are welcome, we are friends."
Levi felt uncomfortable about that.
At that moment, he had to do what the man said for the sake of Ruby's safety.
Not long after, the car pulled up in front of the villa.
Benjamin was the first to get out of the car and opened the rear door for Ruby: "Here we are."
Ruby looked up at the villa and raised her eyebrows, "It's a nice place, quiet in the middle of the city and not far from the city center, you're very good at choosing places."
As they spoke, the three walked inside.
Looking at the décor inside, Levi's eyes flickered slightly as he said in a light voice, "Mr. Hayes, you I didn't expect to have a property here, and it looks as if you come to stay here often."
