Vera was excited. However, Kimberly was still worried.
She didn't want to go to the banquet with Benedict. Maddox had already misunderstood them. It would be fine if no one saw her going to the banquet with Benedict. However, Maddox would misunderstand her again if he saw them arriving together.
Thinking of that, Kimberly was even more worried.
However, Benedict said, "I know what you're worried about. We'll leave immediately after we get the information. I'll send you there. You can have a look at the information sorted out by my secretary when we are on the way there. Then, I'll find a safe spot to put you down before reaching the destination. No one will misunderstand us."
Kimberly remained silent.
She raised her head and looked at Benedict in shock. She felt extremely guilty.
She wanted to reject Benedict initially because she was afraid that Maddox would misunderstand her.
Unexpectedly, Benedict had thought of everything for her. He even knew what she was thinking. She was really...
Kimberly blushed in an instant because she was embarrassed.
She would always feel guilty whenever she was in front of Benedict. "Do you feel at ease to leave with me now?" Benedict asked.
Kimberly was at a loss for words. She bit her lower lip and lowered her head, not answering Benedict's question.
It seemed that Vera sensed Kimberly's feelings. Therefore, she spoke on behalf of Kimberly immediately, "I'll thank you on behalf of Kimberly then. You're really nice. You care about your family so much."
Benedict glanced at Vera and looked away indifferently.
He was unhappy when he heard Vera mentioning his family.
He didn't want to be Kimberly's brother. What he wanted was to be her husband.
He pursed his lips and looked at the time on his watch, saying, "My secretary should be here soon. There is still plenty of time left. Don't worry."
"Okay."
Benedict's secretary arrived approximately half an hour later. The secretary greeted Kimberly with a smile when she stood in front of Benedict. Kimberly had seen the secretary before. The secretary had looked for Kimberly to give her advice when Kimberly was about to change her job.
Kimberly felt awkward to see the secretary right then.
"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting. There's a lot of information. So, it took a long time to sort it out. You two don't mind, do you?" "No, we won't. Thank you for your help," Kimberly got up and said with a smile.
The secretary looked at Kimberly and thought of something. Then, she blinked playfully and said, "The information is here. Vice President Yardley, I'll go back first. My mother is still waiting for me to have dinner."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
After the secretary had left, Kimberly could not help but say, "I'm sorry for troubling you and your secretary. Thank you for your help."
"You don't have to thank me. There is a gown inside the box on the table, isn't there? You still have to dress up before going to the banquet. Let's take the documents and depart now."
After saying that, Benedict picked up the car key and stood up. Seeing that, Kimberly felt that it was bad to look at those documents right then. Therefore, she took the documents and box with her, and stood up.
Benedict paid the bill and asked Kimberly and Vera to wait at the door. Then, he went to the parking lot to drive his car there.
