Chapter 48 The Accident Meet
"Send me some money. I need 700,000 dollars. I'll wait for you at Spring Fall."
"Money? 700,000 dollars?"
Catalina was stunned, "What are you talking about? Are you drunk?"
Darnell rubbed his temple. Although he was a little annoyed, he tried to control his temper. He needed her help after all. He explained, "I'm gambling. I lost some money but I didn't take my cards with me. Send me a card."
Catalina was speechless, "I don't have a card."
And more importantly, she didn't have a card with 700,000 dollars.
"Aren't you Mrs. Shaffer? How can you have no card?"
"Do you have any misunderstanding about Mrs. Shaffer? Don't say 700,000 dollars. I don't even have 7,000 dollars."
Darnell was shocked and said, "Is Ben that miserly?"
"Yeah, I don't have 700,000 dollars. I'll hung up."
"Go to find Ralph. He must have the money."
Catalina was speechless, "You want to use Palph's money? Why don't you go to your parents?"
"Isn't that because of you?"
Speaking of this, Darnell was so angry that he gritted his teeth. "If you hadn't talk those nonsense, my dad wouldn't cut off my financial source."
God!
Catalina thought, "You deserve it!"
"I'll call Ralph later and you can just go to him for the money. You know where Spring Fall is, don't you?"
"I won't go."
"Catalina, I'm your boss. You wanna lose your job?"
"Then fire me!"
Catalina was ready to be dismissed at any time.
It was just a matter of time.
"You..."
Darnell was pissed off.
But soon, he smiled evilly. "If you don't come, I'll tell my aunt and uncle about you and Ben. You must have heard about my aunt, right? If she knows that you're pestering Ben again, guess what she will do?" "You're so despicable!"
Catalina's face turned pale.
"Yeah, you're right."
"You're shameless!!"
"I'll wait for you."
Darnell hung up the phone.
After a while, Ralph sent Catalina a card of Bennett.
Catalina had no choice but to take a taxi to Spring Fall.
After an hour, Catalina arrived at Spring Fall.
Led by the butler of Spring Fall, Catalina successfully found the presidential suite where Darnell was.
She opened the door and found that the room was filled with smoke.
And four men were indulged in gambling on the table.
When Catalina went over, Darnell just won a round. "It seems that you're my lucky star."
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Catalina with a cigarette in his mouth.
Although he was wild and cynical, his natural noble temperament was hard to be hidden.
Sitting there, no matter he was smoking or gambling, he still made the picture gorgeous.
What the hell!
God was too unfair.
Catalina came out of her thoughts. She put the card at his hand with no expression, and then left directly.
"Where are you going?"
Darnell craned his neck and asked her.
"Go home."
"I'll send you home later."
"No!"
Catalina left without looking back.
"Oh."
Others laughed at Darnell, "It's rare to see a woman refuse Darnell."
Darnell slapped on their forehead and said, "Why talk nonsense? Do you want to die?"
"Look, Darnell is shy!"
"Shut up!"
Catalina ignored all the voices behind her. She just wanted to left as soon as possible.
She quickened her pace subconsciously.
She opened the door and walked out.
Unexpectedly, just at the right time, a long shadow came in.
They almost bumped into each other.
Catalina responded promptly and stepped back immediately.
But she froze when she saw who the man was.
The man standing at the door was...
Bennett!
Catalina's heart suddenly missed a beat.
Haven't seen him for so long, Catalina felt that he was thinner than before.
But this didn't affect his appearance at all.
He was still beautiful and charming.
With neat suit, dignified temperament, his back was straight like a cypress. He stood in front of Catalina, making her have a feeling of overwhelming.
His aura, however, seemed to be colder and more powerful than before.
As soon as Bennett appeared, Catalina had the illusion of being in an ice cave.
He gave Catalina a cold glance with no expression in his eyes.
He had no surprise nor delight when seeing her again.
But she was nervous and panic, like a complete fool.
"Ben!"
Darnell got up, "You are back finally. I thought you would stay in Gilburgh forever!"
Bennett didn't say anything, but entered the room.
Catalina wanted to leave quietly.
But Bennett's cold voice came from behind, "Let's go together later."
His voice had no temperature or fluctuation.
And he was not asking for her opinion, but just informing her.
Catalina's heart did a complete somersault. Looking back at Bennett, she was not sure whether he was talking to her.
But Bennett had already sat down, facing her with his cold back.
When Catalina was hesitating whether to leave or stay, Darnell just went over and grabbed her by the wrist. He pressed Catalina down on the seat next to him, "To thank you for being my lucky star, I'll share my bonus with you today."
Catalina was not sure whether it was her illusion. She felt that Bennett was staring at her wrist, which was grabbed by Darnell. And he looked like he would pierce her.
Why?
Did he think that she was seducing the man in his family again?
Catalina released her wrist from Darnell's hand. She dared not look at the man sitting opposite again but just said quietly, "No."
"You're so stubborn."
Darnell poked her rolled-up hair and sat down again.
Bennett suddenly pulled a long face.
"Come here!"
Bennett said suddenly.
His voice was cold.
And he looked at Catalina with piercing eyes.
Apart from Darnell, everyone looked at Bennett with a puzzled face.
They were confused.
Bennett threw out a card in his hand, "Don't let me repeat it."
Catalina was speechless.
Why was this man so fierce?
Did she do anything that annoyed him?
Thought Catalina was upset, she still had no courage to disobey him.
After struggling for a few seconds, she got up, and moved to the seat beside Bennett with her head down.
Everyone gasped.
The little girl they just teased was Ben's woman!
So scary...
Everyone was still in fear.
Bennett looked a little better.
Catalina was quite confused.
Why did he let her sit beside him?
While she was thinking about it, the man pushed the plate at hand to her, "Peel them for me."
Catalina and others were all stunned.
So he called her here just to let her peel walnuts for him?
