Chapter 228: Chapter 228

Janie never thought that Benjamin would answer her call so quickly.

The phone just rang twice! Teehee! She was so happy that her phone almost flew out of her hand. How would she talk to Benjamin if her phone was not with her?

“Where are you, Mr. Benjamin? It’s raining, are you cold?” Janie said with a sweet tone.

“Janie?” Benjamin regretted picking up the call.

“Yes, it’s me. What do you mean by that tone?”

“Nothing. I just felt like having a drink.”

“I’ll accompany you, Mr. Benjamin.” Janie volunteered.

Benjamin didn’t want to agree at first but he thought of the loneliness of drinking alone and he agreed.

“Alright. Where are you? I’m coming to pick you up.”

Janie almost fainted from the excitement. “I’ll wait for you at the road opposite Adelmar Group,” she said in a whisper.

“Walk further away from there. I don’t want anybody to see us as it’s time off work now.”

“Yes, sir. I’ll do what you said. I won’t let anybody from the Adelmar Group see us.”

“Okay.” Benjamin turned to the direction of Adelmar Group after he hung up.

Janie was hiding behind a tree when Benjamin arrived.

He honked at her after stopping at the side.

Janie saw him in his Bentley driving toward her just now. She secretly wanted others to see them but she was more afraid of his wrath. She knew he didn’t want to be on the headlines because of love affairs.

She quickly got in the car and asked after wearing the safety belt, “Where do you want to go, Mr.

Benjamin?”

“Let’s go to the Imperial Palace.”

“Imperial Palace?” Janie knew the Imperial Palace was a place to spend extravagantly in Struyria. The private rooms looked like they were from the palace.

Janie clapped her hands excitedly, “Cool! I’ve never been there before!”

“I only went there a few times. It burns your money,” Benjamin said.

“It’s my first time accompanying you for a drink and you brought me to such a place. I’m so lucky.”

“It’s a spontaneous decision. I don’t know where to go.” Benjamin felt that the sadness in his heart wouldn’t go away no matter where he went. Maybe he could reduce it by going to some lavish places like the Imperial Palace.

They went up by elevator after parking their car. Benjamin booked the private room in Section A when they were on their way. Section A was for drinking and dancing. It was mild compared to other sections.

Benjamin took Janie into the luxurious and quiet private room.

The waiter brought in the finest drinks and exquisite snacks.

Benjamin took off his suit jacket and hung it on the hanger, and his shirt was unbuttoned by two buttons. It was a little hot in the room.

Janie stole a glance at him. She saw his sexy and well-defined collarbone and Adam’s apple. She couldn’t help but swallow.

Benjamin’s features made him look indistinguishable from male and female.

At first, the people in Adelmar Group thought that he was gay until they saw him courting Emmeline.

Janie was also infatuated with him since then.

Both of them sipped on the wine and chit-chat together.

Janie was spellbound looking at Benjamin. She was staring at him without listening to what he said.

At the same time, Adrien arrived.

husband and dad. He wants people to be jealous of him, especially Abel.

Adrien walked towards his private room preparing to ask for two hostesses to serve him.

However, the back of his collar was lifted by someone.

“Who is that? How dare you…”

Adrien shouted.

He hadn’t finished his sentence and he was being pressed against the wall.

He looked up and saw Adam.

“Didn’t you say you couldn’t get it up? Why are you here?” Adam was angered by Adrien’s actions.

“Adam, I came here for this. I went to the doctors and they said I recovered. I’m about to test it now.”

“You… recovered?” Adam was in doubt.

“Yes,” Adrien said happily.

“Then you shouldn’t even come here. Didn’t I tell you to take the chance when Emmeline was sad?”

Adam reminded him.

“I just went to her at the cafe, but she went out for her stunt double job at the studios. I couldn’t get her attention.”

“Are you even a man? Your girl is busy taking care of 3 kids and she was having a few jobs at the same time. I’d rather die if I’m you.”

wanted to take care of Emmeline and the kids too, but she wouldn’t let me do it. What can I do?”

“What can you do? Is it that hard to court a girl? Why don’t you use your brain? Do you think the problem can be solved by coming to such places? You can only solve the problem in your underwear!”

“Tell me. What can I do to let her accept me?” Adrien asked bitterly.

“There are lots of ways. Why don’t you pull a ‘save a damsel in distress and she married you in exchange’? Classic.”

“Saving a damsel in distress? Tell me how?”

Adam thought of it for a little and whispered to Adrien.

Adrien agreed to his plan as it was better than what he planned to do. Emmeline wouldn’t want to look him in the eyes with what he was doing currently.

“Should we proceed with my plan? She should be going back by now.” Adrien said while he looked at the watch.

“Alright. I’ll order them to prepare for it now.”

“Thanks a lot, Adam.”

“No worries.”

“Please don’t scare the kids and don’t hit Emmeline directly. It would be a failure if that happens,”

Adrien reminded.
