Chapter 8 - PART 8 - MEET WITH MR. X

Michella returned to her seat, looking shocked when Ben had just snapped at her. Shortly after Ben apologized to Michella, he immediately knelt in front of Michella.

Holding Michella's hand, Ben immediately apologized to Michella.

"Mic, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to yell at you, I just wanted to ask you for a moment," said Ben quietly.

"What for?" she asked quietly.

"Mic, to be honest, the first time I met you I was so curious. I just need a few minutes to get closer to you."

"If it's close, what do you want, Ben? I don't like wasting time," said Michella curtly.

"I want to protect you and I don't want anyone else to hurt you." Ben's eyes lit up, he hoped that Michella would listen to what he had to say.

Michella sighed, she was very confused as to why Ben was so serious. She doesn't know what to say to Ben, because Michella doesn't want to be someone Ben takes advantage of.

"Michella, answer me! Why are you silent? Are you bothered by me?"

"I don't know what to say, but clearly, I'm very afraid if I get caught by you and go to jail for a mistake I never committed. Moreover, it's my mother's birthday soon, I don't want to give her a bitter surprise." Michella's tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks, Ben immediately wiped the tears that were about to fall on Michella's cheeks.

"Michella, I've told you so many times. If I came to you it wasn't because I wanted to imprison you, I just wanted to be closer to you."

"I want to go home." cried Michelle quietly, she immediately got up from her seat.

While Ben immediately stood up to align himself with Michella. "Okay, come on I'll take you home."

"No need! I don't want to bother you."

"Not at all troublesome, you don't have to worry," muttered Ben who immediately grabbed Michella's hand and led her to the restaurant lobby.

Arriving in front of the lobby, Michelle immediately got into Ben's car. Suddenly he realized that the restaurant he had visited was very quiet and the two of them were the only visitors tonight.

Ben started to drive his car, Ben realized Michella's daydream. Immediately resuscitating her, Michella flinched slightly when Ben grabbed her by the shoulder.

"Mic, what's wrong? Why are you daydreaming?" Ben asked quietly.

Michelle turned to Ben. "I'm just confused, the restaurant we went to tonight was very quiet. There were no visitors at all apart from the two of us, even though it's a fancy restaurant that is usually never empty of visitors."

Ben smiled a little. "Because I have rented the restaurant for the two of us."

Michelle rolled her eyes. "What? Do you rent? But what for Ben? That's a complete waste of money."

Ben sighed. "I just want our privacy not to be disturbed by other people, I'm sorry if what I do is wrong in your opinion," Ben muttered quietly, while Michella was touched by Ben's words.

He did not expect that a Ben Stone would be willing to spend his time and money only for himself. Even though if you think about it, she is just a simple woman who was born from a simple family.

Michella can deduce that Ben has good intentions for her. To the extent that Ben is willing to do everything for himself.

After driving for 30 minutes, they finally arrived at Michella's modest apartment. Ben is very concerned to see the condition of Michella who has to live in an ordinary apartment like this.

Ben immediately got out of the car, then rushed to open the car door for Michella. Michelle immediately got out of the car, she immediately thanked Ben for taking her to the apartment lobby.

"Thank you, Ben! For everything you've given me, I'm sorry if I misunderstood you."

Ben smiled. "It's okay, Mic. I also thank you for accepting my invitation, to have dinner with me. Honestly, I am very happy and happy. I hope I will sleep well because I have received an answer from you. get away from me."

Michelle blushed. "Ah, you can! I'll go in first, you be careful on the road. Bye." said Michelle who immediately left in front of Ben.

Ben smiled seeing Michella's very cute behavior, he didn't expect that Michella would finally allow him to be closer to him.

"Thank you, God. Since you have heard my prayer, Michella is now willing to allow me to be closer to her." Ben muttered under his breath.

Ben sighed, he immediately rushed out of the lobby of Michella's apartment. His feelings were very happy, tonight he didn't want to share his fun with Amora. Therefore Ben decided to go to his grandfather's house because it's been 2 weeks since Ben did not visit his grandfather.

Arriving at his grandfather's house, Ben immediately parked his car in his grandfather's yard. After that, he went straight into the house and met his grandfather in his study.

"Ben, are you coming tonight? Where have you been all day? Amora called me an hour ago because your cell phone was unreachable." said the grandfather quietly while smoking his cigar.

Ben sighed, he was very lazy when he heard Amora's name. "As usual! I'm busy at work and in the afternoon I just go enjoy my day drinking coffee at the cafe. Isn't that normal? Besides, Grandpa doesn't need to be too busy taking care of Amora. Grandpa is in trouble."

The grandfather put his cigar on the ashtray, he immediately advised Ben not to speak harshly to Amora.

"Ben, Amora is your wife! You can't say things like that. Can't you be gentle with her at all? I feel sorry for Amora, because all this time she has always been under pressure from you" hearing the grandfather's words like that, made Ben stunned.

"What did Grandpa say? Just so you know, I've never pressured Amora. Even for her personal affairs, I let her go, she still went out to hang out with her friends. Is that what you call being depressed?" Ben said firmly to his grandfather.

The grandfather sighed. "Ben, Amora is good or bad. She's still your wife, you can't act like that to Amora! Giving her freedom doesn't make her happy either. She also wants a little attention from you. You can't possibly find a woman whose parents have been victims of your accident." exclaimed the grandfather.

Ben snorted softly, he didn't want to tell his grandfather in advance if he had found the woman he was looking for.
