A deal with the devil
Under Benjaminâs sharp gaze, Shirley asked slowly, âReally? What time?â
It turned out this bewnted to bring her out past to test her.
Benjamin replied nonchalantly, âIâll let you know when the time comes.â
After that, the office tell into silence Shirley didnât take the initiative to make conversation like usual. Benjaminâs constant doubts and tests had left her feeling gloomy, and she didnât feel like trying to please him.
However, the atmosphere in the office grew increasingly tense. It was as if the alt around then had dropped by a few degrees, sending chills down her spine.
Benjamin didnât seem to have much of an appetite. After a few bites, he put down the cutlery and fixed isis gaze on her. âDo you have nothing to say?
âNo, I donât Shirley shook her head. It was obvious that he had planned everything, so there was nothing for her to say, She didnât understand that Benjamin was referring to something completely different. He didnât return home all night, and she, as his wife, didnât ask a single question. He thought she was being awfully âunderstandingâ and âpensemosâ.
The atmosphere in the office grew increasingly tense, Shirley couldnât take it anymore, so she said, âDamian is waiting for me at home, so Iâm going to leave now With that she quickly stood up and walked out.
As soon as she stepped out of the othice, there was a loud bang.
The lid of the lunchbox had been knocked over, and it rolled to her feet, where it remained still Shidley stood where she was The secretaries outside shrunk back and held their breath After hesitating for a moment, Shirley bent down to pick up the lid. When she turned around, she saw the mess on the floor.
Meamstille, Benjamin sat where he was and looked at her with a gloomy expression It was as if she had no temper. She called for someone outside, and after a while, someone brought her a vacuum cleaner, mop, and rag She refused their help, closed the door, and bent down to clean the food on the floor.
âGet out.â Benjamin suddenly said coldly.
shirley ignored ham and continued cleaning the mess on the floor.
âI told you to get out.â Benjaminâs voice sounded even more icy and laced with anger and annoyance.
This time, Sharley finally couldnât take it anymore. She looked at him and asked calmly, âWhat are you so upset about? Shouldnât I be the one whoâs angry? You wanted me to attend the dinner, and I agreed. So, why do you lookupset?â
She sounded helpless when she asked, âYouâve tested me so many times. What are you trying to prove?â

Then, he grabbed her delicate dan. His handsome features looked cold and sharp pwhen he said, âI donât trust you. Your odd behavior from earlier was enough to prove that you atenât trustworthy,â
She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. âSo, no matter how you test or humiliate me, I should just smile and please you, right?â
âSo, you call that humiliation?â||
Hertain scent walled into his nose. His expression remained cold as he grabbed her wrist tightly.
âLet the tell you, youâll be constantly humiliated in the future, so youâd better toughen up,â
Benjamin showed no mercy. Stadey felt that her wrist was about to snap and the pain made her frown. She put up with it and spat through clenched teeth, âIf you mind that have feelings for Samuel, why did you make me attend the dinner tomorrow?â
Benjamin laughed coldly âYou think too highly of yourself. I just donât want a woman with ulterior motives lying next to me. The thought of it disgusts me.â With that, he shook uff her wrist with disgust without paying attration to how pale she looked.
