SWNOVELS Chapter 183
Chapter 183 A Date
Elizabeth snapped back to her senses before she asked, “Ah, you’ve arrived?”
Benjamin nodded slightly. “Yes, we agreed to watch a movie together today.”
After Elizabeth hung up the phone, she patted her face.
Then, she mumbled to herself, “Elizabeth, don’t you want to be with Benjamin? Forget what happened this morning. Forget what Matthew said and stay away from him.”
After that, she hurriedly packed her things and left the CEO’s office with her bag.
Since it was time to get off work, there were many people in the elevator. Elizabeth was then squeezed into the corner.
In the elevator, several female colleagues started discussing Matthew’s engagement.
“Hey, is the CEO’s secretary in quite a bad mood recently?”
“That’s for sure. Mr. Hilton is about to get engaged. She has no hope of being with him anymore.”
“But Mr. Hilton has put her desk in his office. Will the future CEO’s wife find it weird?”
“You don’t understand. Rich men enjoy playing around. They keep their wives at home, but they have many other women outside. Mr. Hilton is so handsome that even I’m willing to be his secret lover.”
“Yeah, same.”
As Elizabeth listened to them, she felt that every word was reminding her that if she ended up with Matthew, she would turn the rumor into the truth.
She pursed her lips. I must find a way to let Matthew give up on me. Whether he wants to have fun or just tease me, to try my best to keep a distance from him.
I have
When the elevator reached the first floor, many people rushed out of the elevator. When the girls, who were gossiping, saw Elizabeth, they all turned pale with fright.
Then, they all greeted her, “Ms. Wade, you left work early today.”
Elizabeth nodded slightly as a response.
That day was indeed the earliest day for her to get off work because she usually had to accompany Matthew.
However, he was not around that day, and he did not ask her to follow him when he went out, so she could leave earlier.
Walking out of the building, she saw a Maserati not far away from her. Benjamin lowered the window and called, “Lizzy,
here!”
Several colleagues heard him from the entrance. Elizabeth slowly walked toward the car under everyone’s gazes. Getting out of the car, Benjamin helped her open the car door.
“Lizzy, I’m so happy today!”
Elizabeth smiled at him, then she turned her head to look around.
She found her colleagues were still standing there, watching and talking about her. Ignoring them, she entered the car
quickly.
Benjamin got into the car as well and drove away after that.
Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief. Women loved to gossip by nature, and she had now become the company’s topic.
They all thought that she had an unusual relationship with Matthew. She used to think that the rumor did not matter
because she and Matthew were innocent.
However, she did not feel the same now.
Those words became harsh to her ears.
Benjamin glanced at her from the side and asked, “Lizzy, do you watch horror movies?”
His assistant taught him to take her to a horror movie so that she would throw herself into his arms when she was
frightened.
He really wanted Elizabeth to dive into his arms as he hoped they could establish a relationship as soon as possible.
He had been waiting for six years, and he could not wait any longer.
Elizabeth thought for a while before replying, “A bit. I quite like watching horror movies.”
Hearing her response, Benjamin smiled. “Good. I bought the tickets, but I was afraid you won’t dare to watch it.”
