His handsface bore a hint of indifference, his eyes revealing no emotion.
Narrowing his eyes, Benjamin asked, "Dorcas, do you all think | love Lauren?"
Apart from Dorcas, who else was included in the "you all" he mentioned? Probably only Benjamin himself knew
for sure.
Dorcas hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Isn't that the case?"
Furrowing his brow, Benjamin coolly remarked, "Seems like misunderstandings can run deep."
"Benjamin, | don't understand. Could it be...?"
"Sthings, even when seen with your own eyes, may not be true."
Dorcas fell silent.
Normally sharp-witted, Dorcas felt a bit confused at this moment.
She couldn't believe it.
Dorcas thought, "Does he not love Lauren?

If not, then why?
As far as | know, Lauren is developing under the Martin Group's entertainment company. Isn't Benjamin trying to
support Lauren?
But his cold demeanor suggests otherwise."
Dorcas pressed her lips, lost in thought.
Back at the Martin Group, Benjamin instructed Curtis to accompany Dorcas to the construction competition site
while he made a call to Harper. Benjamin asked, "What are you doing?"
"Working."
It was a brief reply.
Frowning slightly, Benjamin asked in a soft voice, "Are you upset?"
"Why would | be upset?"
"Because | didn't tell you the truth, are you unhappy?"
"You're overthinking it."
Harper was naturally unwilling to speak the truth, her responses devoid of warmth.
After a long pause, Benjamin explained, "I didn't mean to hide anything from you. Dorcas’ visit to Mayby this
tis indeed related to business, hence my response to yout."

"| see. Is there anything else? If not, | need to get back to work. The competition is approaching, and I'm quite
busy on my end."
Benjamin inquired softly, "Harper, are you truly busy with design drafts or are you avoiding me?"
Harper said, "I'm not."
"Not what?"
"Benjamin, you're annoying."
Harper was starting to get irritated.
She thought, "Why does he keep asking? Annoying!"
As for whether Benjamin was wrong in this matter, it wasn't a big deal. Harper just felt uncomfortable with his
lack of honesty.

Harper abruptly ended the call and focused on her work.
She spent the afternoon working on sketches with Sophia and others in the office, only finishing when it was time
to leave. The competition was just two days away.
It had been a while since she last participated in such a major event, so Harper felt a hint of nervousness.
After sorting out the sketches, she packed her bag and left the office.
Taking the elevator down, Harper
walked out of the building towards
the parking lot, where she noticed a black Mercedes parked by the roadside.
Harper hesitated for a moment before approaching the car.
As she reached the car, Benjamin opened the passenger door for her, but she hesitated, asking, "Why are you
here?"
"To pick you up after work."
"You don't have to go through this
trouble to pickup. You've already arranged a driver for me, and it's still early | can drive back myself
A faint smell of tobacco lingered in the car. Benjamin squinted, staring at her, and said, "I insist." &
