She admitted defeat incredibly quickly.
One minute, she was full of fighting spirit, challenging Watt Bennet, and the next, she was a timid turtle.
The man pressing down on her just looked at her with a gloomy expression, with no intention of moving away.
Sumr Sutton didn’t dare provoke him any further, lifted the sheet, and slipped off the bed, "I’ll sleep on the couch!"
She ran fast, as if her life depended on it, not even putting on shoes, thudding to the sofa, just casually pulling a thin quilt over herself and closing her eyes, daring not to look at him again.
Watt Bennet’s gaze followed her direction, snorting coldly.
"Don’t randomly challenge a man in the future!" he threw the words at her before heading into the bathroom.
He stayed inside for quite a while, and the sound of water kept rushing after he went in.
Just listening to the continuous sound of water, without needing to look inside, Sumr Sutton knew what he was doing.
Wasn’t it true that he had feelings for her?
Inexplicably, she felt a bit comforted, and Sumr Sutton no longer bothered with him, curling up in the covers, falling asleep peacefully before Watt Bennet ca out.
...
By the ti she woke up the next day, it was already a bit late.
The quilt covering her wasn’t the thin blanket from last night but a warm cotton quilt.
Sumr Sutton quietly looked at the quilt on her, her lips slightly curving, her chest also feeling warm.
When she went downstairs, Watt Bennet was already gone, presumably off to work.
Looking at the ti on her watch, it was nine o’clock.
Sumr Sutton patted her head, annoyed at herself for waking up later than him.
Since Adrian Walyon stopped managing Morningview Group, her workload had multiplied several tis.
With Watt Bennet already gone, Sumr Sutton felt there was no point in making breakfast, so without eating, she headed straight to work after going downstairs.
Her plan was originally to finish her tasks early at Royal Delight and go to Morningview Group after work to handle company matters for a few hours.
Unexpectedly, she received a notice about a business trip as she was about to end work in the afternoon.
She was to go abroad for training with another intern producer from the company for a period.
Sumr Sutton honestly didn’t want to go; now, apart from where Adrian Walyon was, she didn’t want to go anywhere.
However, her purpose in staying at Royal Delight was to learn.
Apart from Adrian Walyon, she also had her father’s unfinished dreams.
Sumr Sutton hesitated yet complied with the company arrangent, leaving the country with another rookie at night.
...
When Watt Bennet finished work, it was five o’clock.
He walked out of the company building with Alexander Winslow, his first reaction was to search intently through the company gate.
Outside the company door, there were many passing figures, but none were the one who had been constantly surrounding him these days.
"I’ll drive you ho today!" Alexander Winslow walked ahead and went straight to where the car was parked once they were outside.
Watt Bennet followed him, on the way to the parking lot, glancing towards the gate several tis.
Alexander Winslow turned his head, catching Watt Bennet’s gaze, raising his eyebrow.
After both getting into the car and preparing to drive, Alexander Winslow unexpectedly remarked, "Are you waiting for her?"
"Who?" Watt Bennet’s gaze indifferently withdrew, his expression indifferent.
"Just be aware yourself," Alexander Winslow humd lightly and slowly started the car.
While driving, he discontentedly complained, "Every day when she shows up, you give her a cold face all day, now she doesn’t co anymore, and you start hoping to see her again?"
