"It's her! It was Lilith all along! Damn that woman! She told me that I slept with her colleagues! Why didn't she tell the truth?! Why is she lying to me?!"
Ben gasped and clenched his fists, before storming out of the modeling company. As soon as he walked out, his phone started to ring and when he took it out, he found that he was getting a call from an unknown number.
Instinctively, he wanted to hang up and soon noticed that it was a Ylore number. His mind went into overdrive at that very moment and just as he was about to answer the call, the call was dropped.
In Ylore, the butler entered Elliot's bedroom with a cup of coffee and Elliot immediately ended the call.
He had just remembered Ben's number and couldn't help but call him, when he had not figured out what he wanted to say.
Sterling Group no longer belonged to him and Ben was no longer his Chief Financial Officer; though they had been friends for years, what had he hoped to accomplish by getting in touch with Ben when everything had changed?
Even if Ben still saw Elliot as his friend, how could Elliot begin to maintain such an imbalanced friendship?
The butler set the coffee down before him." Is there anything else you need, Mr. Foster?
"No. Get out," he commanded emotionlessly.
The butler went out and closed the door
behind him.
Elliot picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. The screen on his phone lit up when Ben called back; he stared at Ben's number on the display as the bitterness of the coffee spread in his mouth.
