Chapter 99 The Letters in the Ring
Catalina wanted to cry. She grabbed the towel, bit it, and said with tears in her eyes, "Bennett, be
gentle! Ouch! I got injured on duty! I will claim compensation from the company tomorrow!"
She thought she was pitiful!
"Bennett, you hurt me! Don't you think you should compensate me?"
Bennett remained silent, ignoring her words.
Catalina kept rambling because she wanted to distract herself from the pain.
"It hurts so much! Could you please agree to accept my interview now?"
"No way!"
Although he had finally replied, he had resolutely refused her with two simple words.
Catalina gave him a resentful look and pouted, asking, "How can I make you accept my interview?"
Bennett let go of her hand, stared at her with a red-hot and complicated look, and replied, "It depends
on what you can do for me."
Catalina's heart skipped a beat when she asked, "What do you mean?"
Bennett grabbed a disposable towel to wipe his hands and threw it into the trash can. Then, he stood
up, glanced at her confused face, and said, "I'm leaving!"
"Wait!"
Catalina chased after him and said, "You haven't answered my question!"
When Bennett strode forward with his hands in his pockets, Vincent silently followed behind him.
Catalina craned her neck and shouted, "Bennett!"
But he turned a deaf ear, turned around, and entered a VIP exclusive lounge. Then, Vincent
respectfully waited outside the door.
Seeing this, Catalina pushed open the door without hesitation, walked in, and said, "Bennett, let's
talk..."
Seeing the scene in the lounge, she suddenly swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue and
blushed scarlet.
Bennett had taken off his white sweatshirt. Because of the exercise just now, his well-developed Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
muscles had been fully stimulated, and his muscle lines looked smooth. With the sweat beads on his
skin, he looked sexy, wild, and manly.
Few women could resist such a strong figure. Although Catalina had strong willpower, she was
fascinated every time.
Bennett was taken aback to see her suddenly enter the door. After coming back to his senses, he threw
the sweatshirt onto the leather chair and said, "You look at my body like this every time. Haven't you
seen it enough?"
Catalina was at a loss for words. After recovering from the shock, she said with a flushed face, "I'm
sorry. I didn't know you are changing clothes. I'll go out right away! We'll talk when you're done."
She couldn't even straighten her tongue because of nervousness. After finishing speaking, she turned
around, intending to run away.
But Bennett unexpectedly grabbed her by the wrist and asked, "Did I let you go?"
Before she could react, he suddenly picked her up.
"Ah!" Catalina screamed.
When her delicate body fell into his strong and hot arms, she defensively pressed her small hands
against his tight chest and asked, "What are you doing?"
She felt burning hot in her palms. And the wet and sticky touch instantly made her blush. And she felt
limp all over as if an electric current was going through her body.
When her little face flushed with shyness, she looked like a juicy ripe peach.
Bennett felt thirsty, and his eyes darkened. He strode into the bathroom with her in his arms and placed
her on the sink.
Catalina was so nervous that she didn't dare to move.
She propped herself up with her hands and tightly grasped the edge of the sink. Then, she leaned
slightly backward to keep a safe distance from him.
But Bennett did not allow her to do such a thing. He stretched out a long and strong arm, domineeringly
hooked her slender waist like a chain, and forcibly pulled her forward.
"Ah!"
Catalina was almost pressed against his chest.
Her little face was scarlet, and her breathing was in disorder. He pressed her little hands on his
shoulders and gasped, "Bennett, what do you want?"
Bennett lowered his head, stared down at her with a red-hot look, and said, "You are wet. What about
we take a shower together?"
Catalina's mind buzzed.
"Don't touch me!"
She covered her chest in panic and angrily cursed in shame, "Lewdster!"
Bennett didn't take it seriously, lowered his head more, and deeply whispered in her ear, "Who took
liberties with whom first?"
"I've said I didn't know you were changing..."
Before she could finish her explanation, she abruptly paused and looked at the ring hanging on his
neck in a daze, feeling as if a sharp needle was piercing her heart. And she couldn't regain her
composure after a long time.
Was it the engagement diamond ring he had given to Claire? Or did he have a similar one?
It was normal for engagement rings to be in pairs, so she should not have thought nonsense!
Seeing her suddenly stop speaking and fall into a trance, Bennett frowned, "What are you looking at?"
Following her gaze, he looked down. Seeing the ring hanging over his chest, he realized what was
going on. A hint of discomfort flashed across his eyes when he grabbed the diamond ring and pulled it
off his neck together with the chain. Then, he put it in his trouser pocket as if nothing had happened.
But there were imperceptible ripples in his amber eyes when he considered whether she had seen the
letters in the ring.
Catalina didn't recover until Bennett put away the ring.
She suddenly became jealous and felt swelling pain in her sensitive heart. So, she lowered her head,
not knowing what to say.
Suddenly, Bennett said, "Wait for me outside!"
Hearing this, she raised her eyes and looked at him in confusion.
Bennett's attitude was still domineering when he lifted her chin with his slender finger and said, "If you
leave before I go out, I will never accept your interview! Get out and wait for me!"
Then, he let go of her, stepped into the shower area, and closed the glass door with a loud sound.
Catalina sat on the sink and stared blankly at the shower room for a long time because she could not
stop thinking about the ring. Since he wore it around his neck every day, he must cherish it very much.!
She knew him well. As Ralph had said, as long as Bennett fell in love, he would treat the woman with
sincerity and never be fickle in love.
She had caught a glimpse of the inside of the ring and seen BS and a heart. BS was referring to
Bennett Shaffer. Although she had not seen the letters behind the heart because they were blocked,
she guessed it must be CP, the abbreviation of Claire's name.
