The corner of his mouth curls up slightly, carrying a faint smile, as Benjamin sits beside Matthew.
With a deep gaze, Benjamin initiates a toast with Matthew and, additionally, drinks first as a sign of respect.
Caught off guard for a moment, Matthew follows suit by finishing his beer.
âItâs a rarity to see Mr. Matthew Marshall âout for a drink. Such a treat indeed!â The faint smile growing on Benjaminâs lips deepens as he pours another drink for Matthew.
Matthew gives Benjamin a fleeting glance and lights up a cigarette, âBenjamin, what game are you playing now? Young people can go out for drinks, itâs just my first time bumping into you by coincidence. I guess luck was on my side, Iâve never managed to come across you before.â
With a playful chuckle, the depth in Benjaminâs eyes narrows, âJust a casual jest. However, I can read that youâre not in the best spirits tonight.â
Matthew, in disdain, blows out a faint smoke ring, âYouâd be better off shut, just drink your booze.â
Picking up Matthewâs cigarette pack, Benjamin casually selects a stick, puts it to his lips, and lights it up, taking a puff.
âCome on, letâs drink up! Itâs like drinking water, except slightly more lively in a bar where thereâs music and young girls to meet.â
Matthew looks at Benjamin and teases, âDo you feel bored? Lonely?â
âShh⊠donât burst my bubble. Youâve hit a sore spot there, Iâll punish myself with a drink.â
Matthew offers a self-derisive smile.
Suddenly, he picks up his glass, throws his head back, and gulps down the liquid in one go.
Benjamin pats Matthewâs shoulder, âIn future, whenever you need someone to drink with, you can always reach out to me, as long as Iâm in Serene City. Thatâs settled then.â
Matthew slightly puckers his lips, his sharp gaze fixated on the scheming
Benjamin, âSpeak straight, if you can hold your peace, I would rather not wait.â
âBro, I wouldnât dare jab at your sensitive spot. Youâd be hard-pressed to report anything substantial to your grandpa without control over Jenkins Group. Undoubtedly, Daniel has got the best of you, I understand it doesnât sit well with you. â
âYouâre not much better off, you canât master the Jenkins Group yourself.
Benjamin, donât sugarcoat it, youâll need to sort yourself out first.â
âVenture investment is a mutual decision based on trust. Itâs only normal if I canât negotiate a partnership with the Jenkins Group. With you, things have always been different. You yearn for an opportunity to prove that youâre not inferior to Daniel. In truth, youâre really not his match.â
Matthew stays silent, lifting his glass for another gulp of beer.
Everyoneâs looking down on him, comparing him to Daniel. Matthewâs patience is really tried. Heâs genuinely upset!
Having sufficiently stirred the pot, Benjamin grins wickedly, âFind time to chat with me if youâre free, Iâm always available. This round, youâve lost simply because Olivia isnât yours. Itâs really no defeat to Daniel. No matter how much a couple fights before bedtime, they end up reconciled by the end of it. After all, they are husband and wife, âwhat belongs to the couple wonât end up with others.ââ
âBenjamin, Iâm not falling into your trap. Youâd best take care of yourself.â
âJust enjoy your drink, donât be so heated. â Benjamin laughs devilishly, knowing itâs time to stay silent.
As the dawn breaks, Olivia wakes up.
Over breakfast, she suddenly speaks, startling Aunt Jane into a stupor, unable to react for a while.
Once Aunt Jane gathers her wits, she wants confirmation from Olivia, fearing itâs an illusion.
âMaâam, are you really moving into the master bedroom?â
Olivia replies calmly, âMmm! Do you not have time to sort things out today?â Aunt Jane quickly shakes her head, âIâll get on to tidying the master bedroom right away.â
As Olivia proceeds with her breakfast, Aunt Jane observes her with caution.
Has the gentleman made up with the lady?
It doesnât seem like they have; however, it looks like the lady has taken a step forward..
