Jasper Milton immediately carried her into thest cubicle.
The space was too confined. She could feel his heartbeat as her hands were pressing on his chest.
It was beating forcefully.
Suddenly, she felt a little sad. She looked up at Jasper.
‘At least he’s still alive, isn’t he?’ she thought to herself.
She should thank God for only taking away his memory, rather than his life.
But what was with the bitterness in her eyes?
Was she feeling sad or pitiful?
Ste lowered her head, and her long eyshes covered up the real emotions in her eyes.
She shouldn’t let him see it.
Benjamin Levis’ voice was heard. “Is Mr. Milton some big shot?”
“Well, I guess so. The superiors asked us to listen to his orders,” the Police Chief replied.
“Does he have a girlfriend?” Benjamin asked calmly as he turned on the tap to wash his hands.
“I don’t know. I don’t even know his specific identity. How would I know if he has a girlfriend?” the Police Chief said with a smile.
“Mr. Milton is so attractive. My assistant and Ste Grace were both blushing when they saw him,” Benjamin said sarcastically. He then turned the doorknob and went out.
Ste: “…”
She blushed when she saw Jasper?
Why didn’t she know?
Benjamin was very observant, and she was very worried.
“Did you blush when you see me ?” Jasper asked.
“No, I guess.Probably because I drank some wine.Benjamin likes to talk nonsense,” Ste denied.
Jasper tried to kiss her on the lips.
Ste stepped back to avoid it.
Jasper was unhappy and pinched her chin.
Ste pushed Jasper’s hand away and exined, “We have been out for quite some time. If we don’t go back now, they will start suspecting us.”
She didn’t wait for Jasper’s reply. She opened the door and walked out with her head covered.
When she returned to the private room, everyone was there except Jasper.
Benjamin nced at Ste and said, “You’ve been in the washroom for quite some time. I thought you fell in there.”
Ste was annoyed.
Why was he doing all these things to her?
“Don’t you think you are caring too much about me?” Ste said in a low voice, not bothering to mind her tone.
Benjamin looked into Ste’s resentful eyes,there was a tinge of shyness there.
She was still reeling from the revtion that Benjamin had seen her blushing at Jasper.
Benjamin looked a bit uneasy too. He picked up the cup of tea and took a sip.
Ste ignored him and peeled the crab.It was quite delicious.
Benjamin put his crab on her te.
Ste looked at him in confusion.Original from N?velDrama.Org.
“Peel for me,” Benjamin said concisely.
Ste smiled.
Where did he get the courage to think that she would peel it for him?
Ste handed the te to his assistant. “Here’s your boss’ crab. Thanks.”
Benjamin’s face darkened. “Are you going to treat your superior like this?”
“You are not even my superior,” Ste replied bluntly.
Benjamin : “…”
Jasper entered and sat in front of Ste.
“Mr Milton, do you have a girlfriend?” Benjamin asked bluntly, his bad mood was evident.
Jasper nced at Ste.
“Yes,” he said in a deep voice.
Ste’s heart was palpitating.
No.Not only did he have a girlfriend, he had a fiancee too.
Ste calmed herself down.
“Aww, what a waste,” Benjamin smiled and nced at Ste.
Ste : “…”
It was the first time that she saw Benjamin smiling.Butwhy did he have to look at her? It gave her a bad feeling.
It was already eleven
when they were done with their supper.
The Police Chief got them eight mattresses and quilts.
They went to the castle together.
The castle was a little far, about an hour’s drive from the city.
Ste didn’t want to talk to Benjamin, so she pretended to sleep as soon as she got in the car.
She was prone to insomnia at night. Besides, she had slept during the day, so she really couldn’t fall asleep now.
Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
She didn’t know what the person was trying to do.
Benjamin tugged and
Ste fell onto his shoulder.
Ste : “…”
She smelled a faint scent of cologne.
Should she continue to pretend to sleep or open her eyes?
Since she didn’t open them when he did it, it would be very embarrassing to open them now.
The car stopped at the red light.
Jasper’s car stopped beside Ste’s car.
He subconsciously nced into the car.
His nce turned into a sharp re when he saw Ste leaning against Benjamin’s shoulder.
He picked up his phone and called Ste.
Ste’s phone rang.
She was d that someone had called her to wake her up.
Benjamin exined, “You fell on my shoulder yourself.”
Ste : “…”
She took out her phone from her bag and found Jasper’s ID shing on the screen.
All of a sudden, she felt something really bad was going to happen.
She picked up Jasper’s call.
“Haven’t you slept enough in the day?” Jasper snarled.
“Huh?” Ste did not understand Jasper’s words until she casually looked out the window.
She looked into Jasper’s eagle-like eyes and guessed that Jasper had probably seen her leaning on Benjamin’s shoulder. She exined, “I won’t do it again.”
“Wake up,” Jasper ordered her.
Ste felt very guilty, as if someone caught her with her hand in the cookie jar.
“I know.” She dropped the call.
The traffic light turned green.
“Is your boyfriend calling to check on you?” Benjamin asked.
“Mr. Levis, you like meddling in other people’s business, don’t you?” Ste leaned against the chair.
“Didn’t you say that you don’t have a boyfriend? I don’t understand why women like lying,” Benjamin said coldly.
“Does it have anything to do with you?” Ste said bluntly.
Benjamin’s anger piled up and he kicked
his assistant’s seat in front of him.
The assistant’s face turned pale.
She knew that Mr. Levis disliked being criticized , so she immediately exined, “Mr. Levis never meddled in other people’s business. Mr. Levis is a very responsible person. He cares about you because you are part of the team.”
Ste didn’t want to quarrel with Benjamin. After all, they had to work together for the next few days. She decided not to dwell on it. She asked the driving policeman, “How long more do we need?”
“Another half an hour to go. To be honest, all of you are very bold.Our Chief didn’t mention this, butback in 2007, there was another creepy episode in the castle,” said the police officer.
“What happened?” Ste asked.
She had a feeling that this would be the beginning of the case.
