Claudia let out a horrified gasp and exclaimed, "I'LL just wash my face and brush my teeth!" She inwardly berated herself for waking up so late.

When Bennett released her, she moved to get out of bed. In her haste, she almost fell over. Immediately, Bennett reached out to steady her.

“Careful! You don't have to hurry, you know?"

Still red in the face, Claudia straightened up and declared, “I'm not in a hurry."

She was not in a hurry at all.

Bennett said nothing, but he was smiling warmly at her.

Claudia bit her lower Lip.

Well, maybe she was indeed in a hurry. Just a little bit, though.

With her head ducked, Claudia dashed to the bathroom.

She had just closed the door when her phone on the bed rang.

Bennett glanced at it with a frown. He grabbed the phone, hesitated for a second when he saw who the caller was, and finally accepted the call.

“Hello, this is Bennett. Cece is in the bathroom."

“Girl, you have to help..."

Aurora abruptly stopped talking when she realized that the voice from the other end of the Line did not belong to Claudia.

"Mr. Dreskin?

I thought you were on a business trip in Erivale.”

“Yes, it's me. Hello to you too, Miss Haywood.”

“Err... Hohello, Mr. Dreskin.”

Aurora had no idea that Bennett was the one who would answer the phone, so she was in a bit of a shock. After a few seconds, she finally remembered why she called.

“Is Cece busy right now? It's fine if she is. I have nothing important to tell her anyway. I won't bother you anymore. Bye!”

With that, Aurora ended the call. She stared at her phone for a moment before she realized something.

Why was Bennett with Claudia right now? Did she go to visit him last night?

Aurora did not think that was the case. Did Bennett travel early so that he could go home to Claudia as soon as possible?

She huffed and cursed under her breath.
