For a moment, her heart beat fast. Then, she replied, “Well, she called my friend's colleague by an intimate nickname in front of my friend.

That other woman and my friend's colleague seem to have known each other since childhood."

All of a sudden, Claudia got curious about Bennett's opinion. "Do you think that other woman is trying to steal my friend's crush away?”

“Yes, I do."

Claudia clenched her hands into fists and asked, "Then, what do you think my friend should do?"

This time, when she looked at Bennett, she felt as if her heart was going to beat its way out of her chest.

She anxiously waited for his answer.

"Does your friend know how her colleague feels about her?"

Ridden by guilt, Claudia didn't dare to look directly into Bennett's eyes. She fixed her gaze on his collar and said, “No. She certainly won't be confused about the situation if she does.”

If she found out for sure that Bennett didn't Like her, then she would certainly give up her feelings for him.

“Okay. Well, how does your friend's colleague treat your friend?" Staring at the serious look on Bennett's face, Claudia felt more and more scared. She answered hesitantly, “Well, he treats her quite well. For example, when someone bullies her, he intervenes and stands up for her."

"Well..."

Bennett nodded and then stared briefly into space, as if he was lost in thought. Then, he continued, "I think it's not a bad idea for your friend to go ahead and tell her colleague how she feels about him."

“What? Really?"

If she dared to declare her love for Bennett, would Bennett toss her out of the villa?

"Yes," Bennett replied and looked down at her. "Your friend's colleague doesn't show any dislike for your friend and even occasionally helps her. Even if it turns out that he doesn't feel the same way about her, he will never hate her."

He continued, "And because he doesn't hate her, there's a 50% chance that he likes her back. I think it'll be better if your friend confesses to her colleague. At least she'll know for sure, and their relationship won't be ruined by that other woman."

Claudia started reluctantly, "Well... What if my friend's colleague rejects her?"

“If your friend is really afraid of her colleague rejecting her, then she can try to win his affection first."

“And how does she do that?"

Claudia blinked and Looked at Bennett with excitement.

Was she playing a trick on Bennett?

She was making him teach her how to win his affection!

“I have no experience in such a thing.”
