Chapter 303
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 nced 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 hourter. 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 yfully 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.
"It''s only seven o''clock now. You still have a lot of time left. Kimberly, remember to read the
information first when you get into the carter. However, remember to not act rashly. Think about it
clearly before you decide what to do. Do you understand?"
"You... Are you not going with me?" Kimberly looked at Vera and asked hesitantly.
Vera shrugged her shoulders and smiled. "Of course I won''t go with you. It''s a banquet. No one
invited me. Won''t other peopleugh at me if I go?"
Hearing that, Kimberly frowned unhappily. She was used to having Vera to keep herpany for
those two days.
"Don''t worry. Just remember what I said. Don''t be impulsive. You have to think carefully before you
do anything, okay?"
Kimberly nodded. Then, she stepped forward and hugged Vera, saying, "Thank you for your help
over these two days."
"In fact... I''ve always misunderstood you before. However, I found that you''re quite naive after
getting to know you. You''re more naive than me. It''s okay if you''re naive... Well, you could be
considered an idiot if I put it in an unpleasant way. Ah, forget it. You''re my friend, so you don''t have
to thank me for anything."
"Okay."
For some reason, Kimberly was about to cry. Friends...
Close friends...
Kimberly suddenly thought of Sylvia.
Perhaps, their friendship was real before they fell in love with the same man.
However... they could no longer be friends after falling in love with the same man and began to
compete with each other.
"We won''t turn against each other in the future, will we?" Hearing that, Vera was stunned. She said,
"It''s impossible. We will never end up in such a situation like you and Sylvia. Although I''m not a
capable person, I still have my own principles to follow. I will never fall in love with the man whom
you like. I will stay away from the man and never fall in love with him as long as I know that you like
him."
What about Sylvia? Did she warn herself like that before? Did she manage to control herself in the
beginning but lost control in the end? Or did she never think in that way? Did she just follow her
feelings and fell in love with him, and then...
"Well, don''t think too much. I will leave as soon as you get into the car. You can send me a text
message if there''s anything."
After saying that, Vera held Kimberly''s hand and pulled her to the roadside to wait for the car.
Benedict stopped his car in front of them. He behaved like a gentleman, opening the door for them.
He gestured to Vera to get into the car after Kimberly had gotten into the car.
However, Vera waved her hand and said, "I''m not getting into the car. You still have to rush to the
banquet, don''t you? Go quickly."
"I can send you on our way," Benedict said with a smile.
Vera smiled awkwardly and said, "You really don''t have to do that! My house is nearby. I will just
grab a taxi. You can leave now."
After saying that, she reached out her hand to push Benedict away. Then, she turned around and
ran away after pushing him in front of the car. Looking at Vera running away, Benedict felt helpless.
He got into the car and nced at Kimberly who was in the back seat, saying, "She doesn''t want to
get into the car."
Kimberly nodded and said, "It''s okay. Just let her

go.
After saying that, she lowered her head and calmly looked at her toes.
In fact, Kimberly could feel that Vera had been avoiding Benedict and Maddox deliberately. Perhaps
she was afraid that she might fall in love with them.
