Ben took his phone and walked to the door. Through his intercom monitor, he saw Lilith's face. He was instantly furious!
"I have already changed the pin for the gate! How did she even get into the courtyard?” thought Ben.
Other than climbing over the fence, he could not think of any other possibilities! He wanted to get to the bottom of this, so he opened the door.
When he opened the door, Lilith immediately entered and headed to his living area with her suitcase.
Ben was bewildered.
He looked at her brazenly entering his home. He did not know what to do.
"Lilith White!" Ben yelled, "What are you doing?!" "I checked out of my place." Lilith sat on the sofa and hugged her luggage. She looked at him with teary eyes. "Someone kept knocking on my door last night. I checked the surveillance this morning. It was a man. He must be a pervert, so I can't continue staying there."
Ben instantly cooled down. He walked over to her and asked, "Did you report it to the police?"
Lilith shook her head. "I have already checked out. I thought about it..."
"Don't cry. I'll find you a new place," Ben interrupted her.
Lilith shook her head and said sadly, "I'm so pretty. No matter where I go, there will be perverts knocking on my door. I have been attracting perverts since I was young."
Ben was speechless.
"I thought about it. Although I hate you, your place is much bigger. It's safer here too, so I'll stay here." She raised her hand to wipe away her tears. "Don't worry. I'll pay rent. Elliot gives me a monthly stipend. You don't have to give me anymore, just treat it as rent."
Ben was baffled. "Didn't you say that you don’t want Elliot's money?"
"I'm already in such a bad state, yet you still want to rob me of Elliot's money?" Lilith looked at him in disbelief.
