She couldn't finish before he continued on, leaving her behind.

Momentarily stunned, she attempted to call out again, but he disappeared without a backward glance.

Standing there and looking at the figure of the other party, Felicity felt a little frustrated.

However, she quickly brushed it off.

A man who was easy to win his affection was too boring. The one she felt such a connection with was unique. He was worth her pursuit.

Taking a moment to soothe her feelings, Felicity quickly pursued him once more.

Yet, he was nowhere in sight.

Still, she remained undeterred. Given his demeanor, he Likely belonged to high society. By asking around or attending dinner parties, she would surely meet him again.

One thing was sure; the next time they met, she'd secure his number.

Felicity was brimming with confidence.

The flight took an hour and twenty minutes, landing Bennett in Linmarsh just after one-thirty. He rushed to the hospital from the airport, and Jace's operation hadn't begun.

Upon seeing Bennett unexpectedly standing before her, Claudia blinked multiple times, ensuring she wasn't imagining things.

She asked in disbelief, “Why are you here? Didn't I ask you not to come? What about the company affairs? I saw the news..."

She was genuinely concerned about the potential impact on Bennett.

Her emotions were a mix of happiness and worry when she saw the man's unexpected appearance, causing her to speak rapidly without pause.

Before she could finish, Claudia realized she'd overwhelmed Bennett without letting him reply.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, she inquired, “Did you eat lunch already?"

Knowing Bennett's particular taste, she doubted the plane food appealed to him.

With a gentle touch to her cheek, Bennett teased, "You have a lot of questions, Claudia. Which one do you want me to answer first?

“Did you have anything to eat?" Claudia asked.

Since he was here, there was no need for further questioning.

"I had some."

Hearing his vague response, Claudia chuckled.

"So, did you or did you not eat? Be honest with me."
