Chapter 187
Benedict felt flattered as he shook Hamish’s hand with his sweaty palm.
“No need to be nervous, Mr. Benedict. Please, have a seat and make yourself at home.” Hamish gestured for Benedict to sit on the sofa while instructing his assistant, “Make some tea, will you? Use the fresh batch of the tea that just arrived.”
“Right away, Mr. Hamish.”
Benedict felt uneasy but gathered his courage to ask, “Mr. Hamish, do you know my sister?”
“Of course I do. We’ve known each other a long time,” Hamish replied truthfully.
“So, um, what’s your relationship with her? Why are you taking such good care of me, Mr. Hamish?”
“Didn’t she tell you?” Hamish countered.
“N–No, Mr. Hamish, she didn’t tell me anything.” Benedict shook his head.
“In that case.” Hamish shrugged. “I won’t say much either. You can ask your sister about my relationship with her.”
Benedict wondered if Bonnie was fooling around. However, deep down, he felt she would not do such a thing. With Hamish being so attentive, Benedict would not believe it if his sister told him they were just ordinary friends.
“Let’s not dwell on that, Mr. Benedict. Your sister told me you enjoy designing. Is that correct?”
Hamish asked.
“Yes, indeed, I do.” Benedict nodded.

“Do you have any formal training in design?”
“No, Mr. Hamish. I just doodle around as a hobby at home whenever I get bored.”
“Do you have any samples I can look at?”
Although Benedict had never received any formal training in design, Hamish was already offering to mentor him directly.
