Chapter: 696
Bennett, after getting in the car, glanced at Claudia, who still had a befuddled look on her face as she stood at the front door. Soon, his smile vanished, and he adopted a cold expression. "Let's go."
Claudia watched the black Bentley drive away, staring blankly after it. It was not until it disappeared from her line of sight that she finally came to her senses.
Bennett, the shameless bastard, actually kissed her in front of the driver. She became even more red-faced at the thought of it.
Claudia tapped her left cheek, willing her mind to stop thinking about what had just happened.

Right. That was what she needed to do right now. With that in mind, Claudia made her way back to the villa.
While Claudia was searching on Google, pondering the perfect gift for her husband's family, a text buzzed in from Bennett. "There's no need for worry about the gifts tonight. I've got it sorted out. Don't be nervous and just trust me. My uncle and aunt hold my decisions in high regard."

Bennett admitted, "Yes. But the director's continuous rambling is causing my mind to wander off."
Claudia retorted, “Focus on your meeting, miste Would Segarine Group's staff believe that their chairman was sneakily chatting during a meeting?
Indeed, they would. Not only did they believe it, but many secretly wished Bennett would be otherwise occupied the entire time.
He seemed to be in a cheerful mood when he replied to the message earlier, but now, as he turned off his phone screen and Looked up at them, his expression had become sharp.
Who could stand it?

The director, in the midst of giving his report, was taken aback when he noticed Bennett Looking up abruptly.
“M-Mr. Dreskin, is something wrong?"
With a frosty gaze, Bennett retorted or do you prefer to do it yourself?"

The director, clueless about the issue, turned pale, sensing that his job might be on the line.
Claudia, after reading Bennett's text, exhaled deeply. Darn it! Every encounter made her feel more outmatched by Bennett. Determined to hold her own, she resolved to put in an extra two-hour practice at the piano.
