"Indeed, we are just a deal."
Benjamin's tone suddenly became cold and said: "Emma, aside from the deal, don't you think you love me?"
I stopped the car stopped abruptly, and I stared at the snowy scenery in the distance.
His words got right to the bottom of my heart, where all my secrets were buried deep.
How could a man fail to notice whether a woman had feelings for him? Especially when it came to a man as smart as Benjamin.
I knew he knew but I never wanted to admit it. I concealed the nervousness in my heart and chuckled and said, "I admit that you are an outstanding man, a man too seducing and tempting. But I have my own limits. I can have sex with you, I can cooperate with all your loving cuddles and kisses. But... But we can't have love."
Benjamin asked, "Not love?"
"Benjamin, it is not suitable for us to discuss this." I restarted the car and changed the subject and said, "It's snowing here."
He hung up the phone in silence, I drove the car to the address sent by September, and then covered my sore eyes with my hands.
I felt that I'd completely lost. I'd lost the game I didn't even know what it was but only knew it involved Benjamin and Victoria, and Sean.
Go f*ck yourself, Benjamin! Why should I love him!
But why did I feel so much sorrow in my heart?
The car window was knocked, and I turned my head to see September leaning on my car window and staring inside. I rubbed my forehead and opened the window and handed her the cake, saying, "Take it."
She happily took it, and I took the remaining part and got off the car and asked, "Where is your site?"
September pointed to a black car not far away and said, "Riley told me to text you and tell you to bring some food over."
It turned out that it was Riley who was hungry.
I approached the car and opened the door. As soon as I sat in, he took a cake from my hand and stuffed it in his mouth: "I haven't eaten anything from noon until now. You are really the best baker in the world."
I smiled and asked, "Why didn't you eat anything?"
"I told Bob to bring us the food, but that little b*stard..." Riley divided the cakes among several officers, and then handed a piece of bread and a bottle of milk to the person in the front row and said, "I've already asked Glover to transfer you back to the crime squad."
"Thank you, Riley."
Riley shook his head: "No big deal."
September sat beside me with a can of beer in hands, and said, "Emma, I will go home with you later, can I sleep at your place?"
I shook my head: "Nope."
"Why? Benjamin is home?" September explained in a gloomy tone: "Rose told my dad about what happened and my dad bombarded the s*it out of me. I can't go home today."
That f*cking b*tch Rose!
"Alright then."
September happily asked: "Really?"
"Yeah."
"Benjamin is not at home then?" she asked.
I explained: "He's in City B."
"Riley, let's call it a day."
Indifferent voice... Wasn't this Zack's voice? I followed the sound and saw him opening the door from the front row and getting out of the car. I looked at his back in a panic and felt uncomfortable.
September took my arm and got out of the car. I stood in front of him anxiously and said, "Mr. Glover."
The corners of his lips rose slightly, and his voice softly said, "Well, you have to go to work tomorrow. Rest early when you get home. Don't get too tired."
When September took me away, she asked curiously, "Why do I feel that Zack treats you differently?"
I nervously asked: "How?"
September smiled mysteriously and asked, "He is cold and indifferent to everyone, except to you... his voice is very soft, as if you guys have known each other for a long time. Have you?
My heart trembled. Even September had felt it.
I shook my head and threw the car key to her and said, "He has just taken office for no more than a month, and I have only come back to the station for a few days. How can I know him? What is inside that brian of yours anyway?"
"That's right." September took the car key and took the initiative to drive and said: "I'm gonna sleep at your house, and tomorrow I will figure out how to make my dad forgive me. Plus, I still have a big thing to do."
I asked casually: "What is it?"
"All the Jenkins property is the hard work of my dad and mom. I can't let Rose get it. I need to inherit all of it before she gets married and end the cooperation with the Shears family." September said determinedly. I could tell that she was said but she still forced a smile. "I can't let her take what's mine again."
"Well, I got your back." I turned my head to look out the window and asked hesitantly: "Will you really get married before them?"
"Well, I've got a man already."
I asked: "Who?"
"The handsome Austrian guy I met. He is a very pretty and delicate man with blue eyes glowing. I think he's the one. I don't have all the time in the world, do I? At least this dude is willing to marry anytime I want to."
I was surprised. I never expected September to marry a foreigner. I asked: "When will he come to you?"
"In February, that's when we'll hold the wedding."
September didn't say more about her desires, she changed the subject and asked: "Are you and Steve clean now?"
"No, but soon."
After the seven hundred thousand is paid off.
