"Mom, why are you here?" Benjamin looked at his mother, Janice, who pushed the door open and came in, "Why didn't you call me in advance?"
Janice snorted, "What's wrong? Should I make an appointment before I came to you?"
"What if I'm in a meeting?"
"You'll come back from the meeting sooner or later, won't you?" Janice said unconcernedly, "Don't worry. Even if you are in a meeting, I can wait for you."
Benjamin raised his eyebrows and felt somewhat helpless, but he asked, "Would you like to drink something? I'll ask my secretary to bring it to you."
"There's no need." Janice waved her hand, "I'll just have a seat."
Hearing this, Benjamin put down the document in his hand and leaned back. With his legs crossed, he put his hands on his legs casually, looked at Janice on the opposite sofa and said blandly, "Mom, I'm at work now. You... will disturb me here."
Janice immediately got unhappy when she heard this, "You don't like me to come here? Humph! How dare you! I haven't criticized you yet. How dare you show your dissatisfaction?"
"The money you can make is endless, and the work can never be finished. Am I right?"
"So?" Benjamin asked.
"So, you should focus on finding a girlfriend."
"Mom, I am still working now. I don't want to talk about this."
"When can we talk about this?" Janice asked angrily, "You don't talk about it in your work hours, and you also don't want to talk about it after work. Then when do you want to talk about it? Let me tell you. Finding a girlfriend is more important than doing your work! Understand?"
"Didn't I say that you don't have to worry about this? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"How can I not be worried? Look at me! I've been thinking about this matter all day long, and all my hair is about to become white! Can you bear to see this? I don't want to be worried, but you should bring your girlfriend to me!"
Benjamin sighed, "Mom, you have to know that haste makes waste."
"Ha-ha..." Janice sneered, "You're not worried indeed. But do you have anyone you like? No! Am I right?" "So, don't always fob me off. I've tried my best to find so many excellent girls for you, but you don't like them. What do you want me to do?"
"Ben, why don't you meet those girls for the sake that I've done a lot for you?" Janice continued to persuade him, "I don't want you to meet all of them. How about picking some you like? Maybe you will fall in love with one of them."
Benjamin frowned, "Mom, you just told me about it last night, and I told you that I wouldn't go. Don't mention this again."
"You..." Janice was so angry and anxious, "What on earth do you want? Last night, I thought that you were not in the mood to talk about this because you had been busy outside for so long and took a flight for more than ten hours. But today... how can you say like this again?"
"Mm."
"Do you think you can send me away in this way?"
"I'm busy." Benjamin looked at Janice, "Mom, if you don't have anything else to do, go back first."
"You are busy all day long! If you go on like this, just focus on your business for a lifetime!" Janice stood up in anger and glared at Benjamin fiercely, "Do your own work. I don't want to talk to you."
Benjamin looked at Janice's back. In the end, he did not say anything, took the document on the table and was ready to read it.
