Benjamin's actions left many people puzzled. They wondered what he meant by doing this now.

Emily felt as though her heart was being squeezed, achill creeping from her chest down to her limbs, making her shiver. Benjamin, the man everyone in Elderstone feared, was truly terrifying After leaving the private room, Shirley followed Benjamin into the elevator. Holding Damian, who had fallen asleep, she stole a quick glance at him, then another. "Thank you for earlier," she murmured.

Benjamin turned his gaze on her, noticing her tense posture. A cold, mocking smile played on his lips. "You were pretty bold just now.

"No, I wasn't!" Shirley protested.

Benjamin's gaze shifted from her face to the descending numbers on the elevaton display. “No. You understandvery well" He knew it wasn't just understanding-she was clever too Shirley stared at him in silence, unsure how to respond.
