    Chapter 38 Stop Fooling Around


    Shannon told me thepany which had asked me to draw the movie posters had prepared me some


    materials and resources in case Icked inspiration and could not draw well.


    They wanted me to collect the materials from them tomorrow, and then I would have to finish the draft


    within two days after that.


    I could not believe that they were so thoughtful and had such a humane side to them.


    As I was feeling impressed, I remembered how I still did not know whichpany that was, and


    Shannon did not tell me either.


    I put my phone beside the pillow and turned on the speaker. “Did they state a specific time to meet? If


    not, we shall go in the afternoon, yeah? I have something on in the morning. Also, whichpany


    exactly is that? You should at least tell me about it.”


    “It’s sh Media; you know them, right? They will finish filming the movie within the month, so they’re a


    little anxious. They’ve said that we can head over any time tomorrow, so let’s have lunch together


    tomorrow and head over after that.”


    Of course, I did not have any objections to Shannon’s words. We continued with a short casual chat


    before hanging up, and only then did I have time to be inplete shock.


    Never could I believe sh Media would give me the chance to help them draw the posters.


    This is indeed a pleasant surprise!


    sh Media was a big organization. Being a part of the public, I had watched many of their television


    series and reality shows every now and then.


    Not to forget, their films were also well-performing and lucrative releases.


    As I shut my eyes andy on my bed, I could not resist fantasizing about my bright future as I grinned


    from ear to ear.


    That went on even after I fell asleep. When I woke up in the morning, I found a puddle of drool stain on


    my pillow.


    But there was something more grave—I had overslept.


    I was unsure if it was the rm that did not ring or if I was the one who did not hear it. Either way or so, it


    was already almost eight o’clock when I woke up.


    At this timing, Dominic would have finished breakfast and prepared to head out in normal circumstances.


    He had just made a dig at me yesterday, yet it seemed like I had proven him right today.


    Thinking of that unforgiving and unreasonable mouth of Dominic’s, I immediately tidied myself up at the


    fastest speed possible and sprang out of the bedroom.


    However, I realized there was no one else after scanning through the house for one whole round.


    What was more surprising was, there was a te of untouched breakfast on the dining table.


    Dominic isn’t that kind-hearted. Hmm… he must have spiked the food.


    I took the te up, only to find a post-it note below it pasted on the table, which read: Ms. Zti, this is


    the breakfast that Mr. Hartnell asked to save for you. Please remember to reheat it before consumption


    when you’re awake.


    The note was signed off by Calvin.


    I pursed my lips. That was virtually as good as asking the sun to rise from the west. It was so rare that he


    grew his conscience.


    Since that was the case, I decided not to hold back anymore.


    I finished breakfast quickly and gave Benjamin a call before heading out. When I found out that he was


    at thew firm today, I rushed down immediately.


    Getting onto the car, I told the driver to head to themercial district. But before we got to the city


    center, Julius called to say he wanted to meet me and asked to bring along my ID card and household


    registry as well.


    He has just put on a disgusting show yesterday and even caused me to end up at the police station.


    What is it with him looking for me today?


    I figured there was no need to ask me to bring along my ID card if he wanted to get his revenge.


    The confusion in me was growing, but I reckoned it was quite a hassle to ask more over the phone.


    Besides, I was in the taxi too.


    But since he had asked to meet me, I had to go. To prevent him from ying any tricks, I requested to


    meet at a café opposite Wisteria Building, and I also told him to meet an hourter than the time I wanted


    to arrive.


    After ending the call with Julius, I immediately called Benjamin. I intended to ask him to apany me


    and also exined things to him before Julius’ arrival.


    I was on the losing side yesterday; thus, I would not give Julius another chance to set me up again.


    Sincewyers were busy people with their schedules fully packed, anyone who wanted to meet them


    would have to make an appointment beforehand. With that in mind, I was unsure if Benjamin would be


    able to meet me since I called him sost minute.


    Yet, who knew he would agree to it readily and even turned up at the café earlier than me.


    I had wanted to sit opposite him, but he asked me to sit next to him and leave the spot opposite for


    Julius.


    When I heard that, I thought he made some sense since I should not be sitting with Julius and facing


    Benjamin directly.


    After settling down, I exined to him how Julius had taken the initiative to call me.


    What made me puzzled was how Benjamin did not seem to be surprised at all. Instead, he was even


    very sure that Julius’ motive to meet me was to ask me to sign the divorce agreement.


    The truth was, I had already thought of that since he had asked me to bring my ID card along.


    But I could not believe that guy would have a sudden change in mind and not mess with me any longer


    when it had only been one night, and not forgetting I had hurt his mother too.


    At this point, I could not resist looking at the calm Benjamin and asked, “Mr. Chance, actually I was in a


    hassle with Julius’ mom yesterday. I—”


    “I know. Julius’ mom knocked her head, right?” Benjamin interrupted me before I could finish my


    sentence.


    I was instantly stunned. How did he know about that? Could it be that James told him about it?


    He looked at me, baffled. “What’s with your expression? Did Dominic not tell you that I was the one who


    bailed you out?”


    I shook my head and unwittingly said, “Other than telling me off, scolding me, and ostracizing me, he


    said nothing else yesterday.”


    Out of my expectation, Benjamin burst intoughter. “That idiot. I guess he has gone back to those old


    school days, huh?”


    I did not get what he meant, but that was not the main point nheless. To find out what I wanted to


    know, I continued, “Mr. Chance, since you’re clear about what happened, then I’ll get straight to the point.


    The police said I had caused intentional injury to another yesterday. So will that leave me a criminal


    record? Can they really sue me?”


    Benjamin took a sip of coffee and calmly replied, “That’s not a problem. Besides, only you two were


    present at the scene yesterday. We can’t possibly take their words for it. If not, I can also say that you’re


    kind-hearted and full of virtues.”

    I could not wrap my mind around it. So that’s how things work?


    “Not to mention…” Hearing that there was more toe, I widened my eyes in curiosity.


    Yet Benjamin suddenly held back his words. “Forget it. It’s good enough for you to know that Julius won’t


    be able to do anything more to you. Just sign the paperster; leave the rest to me.”


    That is great. I was pretty satisfied after hearing his reassurance.


    Just after we were done with our chat, Julius arrived.


    His expression became a little unnatural the moment he saw Benjamin beside me.


    “I asked to meet you. Why did you bring someone along?” Julius’ tone sounded hostile.


    I had yet to open my mouth when I heard Benjamin say while smiling, “Mr. Keaton, can’t believe we meet


    again so soon.”


    I blinked my eyes, curious. Huh? Have they met each other before?
