“It’s nothing. You just look like an old acquaintance. He leftly redirected the conversation. “Let's go.”

ly redirected the conversation. “Let's go”

Relief surged through me.

He likely hadn't recognized me.

My disguise was meticulously crafted; | had even managed to mask my scent so effectively that even Thomas's

wolf had been oblivious to it.

Benjamin's assistant arranged our flight upgrade, and son we boarded the plane headed for Aulom.

After a long journey filled with numerous flights and layovers that spanned over ten hours, Benjamin and | finally

arrived in Mornant.

Stepping off the plane, | was immediately hit by a wave of fatigue. However, | was the only one among our trio

who spoke Mornantese, which made my role essential.

Despite my exhaustion, | had to facilitate communication with the locals until we reached our hotel. The instant |

hit the bed, | surrendered to sleep, grateful for the chance to rest.

It took a full day forto adjust to the new tzone, and by the third day, | finally felt like myself again.

Upon waking, | noticed a message from Benjamin that be had sent earlier. “Ms. Selena, please meet in the hotel

lobby at 8:00 AM.”

After reading the text, | replied simply with an “Okay” and set my phone aside. | hurried through my morning

routine, opting for a more formal business outfit and donning the glasses | had prepared earlier. projecting a

polished and professional image.

When | arrived in the lobby, Benjamin and his assistant were already there, waiting.

“Ms. Selenal” the assistant greetedwith enthusiasm, handinga schedule. This outlines today’s agenda

for Mr. Benjamin. You'll be translating for him throughout the day, so it'll be quite a busy schedule. Are you

comfortable with that?”

| skimmed the itinerary and reassured him, “No problem. I'm ready for it.”

“Fantastic! Let's get going.” The assistant beamed with approval..

| settled into the business vehicle, and during the drive, | briefly introduced Benjamin to sof Mornant’s

customs and geography.

“Mornant has a population exceeding fifty million and experiences a tropical monsoon climate. The temperature

remains fairly consistent year-round, with heavy rainfall concentrated in June, July, and August due to the

southwest monsoon. Rain also falls in May, September, and October. Most regions receive over 4,000 millimeters

of rain each year, but the central area we're in is a rain shadow zone, getting less than 1,000 millimeters,

making it Mornants driest region. So, Mr. Benjamin, it’s a good idea to carry a bottle of warm water to stay

hydrated.”

Hearing this, Benjamin casually remarked. “You seem quite well-versed in this area.”

| replied casually, “I developed a liking for a particular uit from here during college, so | researched the local

culture and learned a bit of the language.”

Benjamin raised an eyebrow, looking atwith admiration. “It’s clear you must be quite the scholar.”

| accepted his compliment with ease. “I advanced quickly in school, skipping several grades, which allowed me

to start college at a young age.”

“Which university did you attend?” Benjamin inquired. Intrigued.

“National University of Eastleyford”

The mention of Eastleyford seemed to catch Benjamin’s attention. “What a coincidence; | pursued a dual degree

at Cryving University in my time.”

| was already familiar with Benjamin's impressive resume, so | wasn’t surprised by this revelation. “Mr. Benjamin,

as the Alpha of the Midnight Pack, it's no wonder you excel in every field!”

Benjamin remained composed as he replied, “Ms. Seler, you seem quite the conversationalist for someone in

interpretation.”

| chuckled lightly.

As we continued chatting, tslipped away. Before we knew it, we had arrived at our destination.

The Southwell Group was collaborating with the Mornant government on an oil extraction initiative, pouring in

hundreds of millions. The government had been aware of Benjamin's arrival and had sent representatives to

greet him at the import site. As soon as he stepped out, the sound of firecrackers erupted in celebration.

Watching the local welcoming ritual, Benjamin looked puzzled.

| quickly clarified, “This is a local custom; the firecrackers are meant to honor your arrival.”

Once the firecracker noise died down, Benjamin exited the vehicle. A government representative approached

him with a bright smile, extending a hand and speaking fluent Morantese. “Welcome, Mr. Benjamin, to the

Mornant First Mining Area. We look forward to your guidance on this project.”

| swiftly translated his words into English, facilitating their exchange of greetings. Then, | followed the

government representative to the mining site for an inspection.

| took my role as a translator seriously, ensuring seamless communication between both parties. Before long, it

was noon, and the government representative led us to a restaurant they had organized.

“Mr. Benjamin, be aware that the local cuisine is quite spicy; | hope you can handle it,” | whispered to him.

Benjamin responded with a calm demeanor, I'll do my best to appreciate their culinary traditions.”

| noticed him grimace after just a few bites, and when he excused himself to visit the restroom, | seized the

moment to grab a bottle of yogurt from the front desk for him. “Mr. Benjamin, drink syogurt! After this, | can

take you somewhere with milder options.”

Surprised, he accepted the yogurt | offered, saying. “Thank you!”

The government representatives continued to pour fruit wine, a local favorite, for Benjamin. | had already

downed several glasses and was starting to feel lightheaded.

Leaning in, | whispered to him, “Mr. Benjamin, this fruit wine is quite potent; you might want to pace yourself.

He brushed off my concern. “It’s just a few glasses of fruit wine; it’s nothing to worry about.”

| hesitated to push the matter further.

After the meal concluded, | approached Benjamin and quietly asked, “Mr. Benjamin, are you feeling alright?”

“I'm fine,” he replied, but | could see a faint blush had crept onto his face, a clear sign of the alcohol’s effect
