Plakr’s POV
When I returned to my office, I found two uninvited guests sitting there. They were Howard and
Benjamin,
“Why are you here”
Howard and Benjamin looked at each other, and Benjamin said, “We read about Catherine and Leo‘s
affair early in the morning, and we came to show our concern.”
When Howard saw that I was silent, he asked in a low volce “Blake, maybe you should talk to Leo and let him clear things out.”
“He’s right. No one will ask any questions as long as Leo sets things straight. He can also go public
with your relationship with Catherine,” Benjamin said.
“Thanks for looking out for me. I still need to talk to her about this.” I had thought the same as them
already. When I invited Catherine over, I wanted to talk to her about this.
Unfortunately, she was scared away by my enthusiasm.
“Blake, I’ve never seen you care so much about a woman.” Howard smiled meaningfully.
Benjamin glared at Howard and said, “His kids are old enough to recognize you by now. Of course, he
should care about her.”
Howard turned his head to look at Benjamin and joked, “What would you feel if you suddenly had two
children calling you their daddy?”
“Me?” Benjamin was a little surprised. Then he shook his head and said, “That won’t happen to me. On
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe contrary, I strongly suspect that you’ll be the one.”
Howard said with certainty, “That’s impossible. You know that I only dated a woman.”
“What if she’s the one? she got pregnant and left, and now she’s overseas alone with your baby?”
Benjamin did not mind carrying his joke further.
When Howard heard Benjamin’s words, he said loudly, “That is impossible. I only slept with her a few
times.”
“A few times?” Benjamin seemed to have heard something juicy.
Howard was frustrated. He glared at Benjamin. “Good for you! You trapped me into telling my secret.
Benjamin, you are so cunning.”
Benjamin smirked. “If I didn’t do that, I would never know that you and my cousin had made it this far.”
“Watch out from now on. Don’t let me get the goods on you. Otherwise, I will laugh at you forever!”
Howard said firmly and viciously.
I held some files in my hand and wanted to focus, but I was interrupted by their voices.
“Are you two planning on making me pay for lunch?” I looked up at the two of them and asked lightly.
They were arguing with each other, and they even blushed. Hearing my words, they said in unison,
“Sure!”
I glared at them speechlessly. “Find somewhere and wait for me there. I’ll go over to pay the bill after
I’m done here.”

“Are you two planning on making me pay for lunch?” I looked up at the two of them and asked lightly.
They were arguing with each other, and they even blushed. Hearing my words, they said in unison.
“Sure!”
I glared at the speechlessly. “Find somewhere and wait for me there. I’ll go over to pay the bill after I’m
done here.”
The two stood up. “Fine. We’ll wait for you.”
“Google the most expensive restaurant around!” Howard raised his voice and said deliberately.
When I rushed over, I saw them sitting in front of the table with sad faces. It seemed that they had been
hit hard.
I looked at them and asked, “What happened? Why haven’t you ordered yet?”
“I don’t want to eat anymore!” Howard suddenly stood up and walked out the door in a daze.
I looked at him in surprise and asked Benjamin, “What’s wrong with him?”
Benjamin shrugged and said, “He was dumped.”
“What? He doesn’t even have a girlfriend. How could he be dumped?”
“He was dating my cousin, Rowena.” Benjamin said.
I was even more surprised. “Seriously? He has been dating Rowena? But didn’t he say that they broke
up long ago?”
“I thought so at first, but from what happened just now, he lied,” Benjamin said.
I sat down on the chair, asked the waiter to bring the menu over, and take the order. Then I looked at
Benjamin and said, “Tell me. What happened?”
Benjamin told me all the details.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt turned out that Benjamin and Howard ran into Benjamin’s cousin, Rowena Lawrence, after they came
here. Rowena wasn’t here alone. There was a man by her side. Not only that, Rowena even had a
daughter.
I was extremely shocked.
Benjamin looked inexplicably sad. He lowered his head, took a sip of alcohol, and asked, “Blake, do
you know how painful it is, not being able to be with the love of your life? Anyway, I can understand
how he feels.”
“Not being able to be with the love of my life?” My eyes darkened. I felt that it was a precise description
of me.
After lunch, I returned to the company and saw a person sitting in my office.
“Blake.” Leo was like a kid who had made a mistake. He didn’t dare to look me in the eye.
I didn’t go to him after his affair with Catherine went viral. Seeing him in my office right now didn’t
surprise me at all.
“Hey.” I looked as calm as usual.
“You saw the news this morning, didn’t you?” asked Leo.
I glanced at his face. “Why did she come to you?”
“She asked me to do some digging for her,” Leo answered guiltily.
“Was it about someone stealing her design?”
