Chapter 33 - 33: Be Still
Juliana looked at Benson's back and his purposely upright waist, which looked lean and muscular...
Benson didn't get the hug before he frowned and said impatiently, "Come on."
Juliana: ...
Benson obviously grew impatient and stepped back behind Juliana again, then gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, "It's the same if I hold you."
The warm and strong embrace behind Juliana caused her to struggle a little instinctively.
But Benson's hands tightened around her slender waist and brought her into his arms, "Be still when you're in my arms."

Juliana blushed, but she did not dare to move anymore and just stayed in Benson's arms, feeling the heat of his body and the testosterone on him, which directly messed up her heartbeat and thoughts.
She didn't hear what was being auctioned downstairs.
Benson didn't care about that either. He simply kept his arms around Juliana, smelling her fresh scent to calm his mania.
Channing soon finished his mission. Just as he opened the door, he saw the two embracing in front of the window and froze in shock, "Mr. Leach?"
Mr. Leach did not beat the woman to death but held her in his arms?
It was a miracle!
Juliana blushed and tried to break free from his embrace, whispering, "There's somebody else here, let go of me."
Benson didn't let go but held her a little tighter, "Come in and talk. What are you waiting for?"
Channing, who had deep professionalism, came in and didn't even look at the woman in Mr. Leach's arms again.
He reported, "Jayden and Selene have donated a diamond ring worth $200,000, and the president of PH Company has decided to take the ring for $1 million in order to build a partnership with the Hodges family."
Juliana raised her eyebrows slightly, "That diamond engagement ring?"
Her voice was clear and sarcastic, but not offensive.
Channing replied, "Yes. And what Jayden wants to bid for is also a mystery diamond ring, which is said to start at $10 million, yet to be disclosed what it looks like."
It was the grand finale of the auction.
Channing finished and left.
Only two people were left in the box again.
Juliana knew that the struggle was futile, so she said, "I'm tired."

Juliana raised her hand to touch her burning face and looked at Benson by her side, who looked as chill as an icicle but seemed to be breathing a little sharply.
At this time, the auctioneer's voice sounded downstairs.
"The next lot: the 'Eternity' diamond ring, donated by Selene Lewis, which represents loyalty, true love, chastity, and eternity..."
The auctioneer finished his long introduction and then said, "The 'Eternity' diamond ring, now open."
Selene sat up straight and looked proudly at the diamond ring displayed on the stage.
It was not this diamond ring that was supposed to be donated for auction.
It was only because Jayden had misunderstood her yesterday. In order to make her happy, he decided to donate the engagement ring and planned to buy the mystery diamond ring at the auction as their new engagement ring.
Selene knew that someone was going to auction off the diamond ring for a million dollars, so she straightened her spine and waited for the envious exclamations from the people around her when someone bid for it.
However, three minutes passed and there was no bid but silence. action
Selene frowned, a little uneasy, and asked Jayden in a low voice, "Jayden, what's going on?"
The auction was already halfway through. As soon as the lots went up for sale, the crowd enthusiastically raised their hands to bid, which was the best indication of cottoning up.
It was very embarrassing when no one bid for after three minutes....
