"Benjamin, are you awake? There's an early meeting this morning, so I'm going to the office first. You can drive there later. I've told my secretary Clara to help you change your outfit. I don't want my bodyguard to look shabby like last time, so please pay attention."
Upon waking and going to the kitchen, Benjamin heard Isabella's voice speaking to him. Moreover, she seemed to be in a hurry. Seeing the food on the table, he didn't think much about it and sat down to eat his share. However, when he recalled Isabella's last words before leaving, his expression showed a hint of annoyance.
"What's wrong with my outfit from last time? It was still quite new!"
Mumbling a few words of dissatisfaction, Benjamin's actions were nonetheless very proficient. In less than two minutes, he finished breakfast consisting of bread, sausages, fried eggs, and beef without leaving a trace of leftovers.
Descending the stairs, Isabella's younger sister couldn't help but reveal her displeasure at seeing Benjamin eat like that, huffing audibly.
"Ugh, are you some sort of starving demon reincarnated? Why do you eat like you've been starved?"
At this point, Benjamin didn't have much time to bicker with her. He glanced at her and pretended not to hear her, casually walking away.
"Hey, I'm talking to you! What's your attitude about? If you have the guts, stand there and face me. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because my sister has defended you lately. Just wait. One day, I'll make my sister divorce you!"
Watching Benjamin's retreating figure, Kinsley was furious, yelling and cursing at him incessantly. Unfortunately, Benjamin's mood was not good, so he had no interest in arguing with his crazy sister-in-law. He went straight to the company.
At this moment, all the company's senior management had gone into the conference room. In Isabella's office, only her secretary Clara remained, her eyes half-closed, leaning back in her chair, her legs crossed on the desk, looking very relaxed.
"Ahem, excuse me, is this the CEO's office?"
Benjamin didn't expect to encounter such a scene accidentally. So, he cleared his throat a few times and then asked quietly.
Startled by Benjamin's voice, Clara jumped up, almost tumbling to the floor. After seeing Benjamin's ordinary appearance, her attitude immediately became irritable, and she snapped at him.
"Who are you? Why didn't you knock?"
Seeing Clara's angry demeanor, Benjamin didn't know how to explain. He could only smile awkwardly, scratch his head, and apologize.
"I'm sorry, the door was unlocked just now, so I didn't knock!"
"Hmph, what are you looking at?"
After giving Benjamin a fierce glance, Clara hurriedly adjusted her clothes. However, her attitude towards Benjamin remained quite unpleasant.
"What do you want? Why are you here?"
Benjamin didn't know why Clara's attitude was so angry. He forced a smile and began to explain his purpose.
However, at this moment, Clara's phone suddenly rang. She put her hand to her mouth, signaling Benjamin to be quiet, and took the call.
"Be quiet for a moment; let me finish this call first."
After speaking, she didn't bother to see if Benjamin followed her instructions and directly answered her phone. Hearing a man's voice from the phone, Secretary Clara's face brightened, and her tone became sweet and flirtatious.
"Hello, darling! What's the matter that you're calling me at this time? Oh, you want to see me right now? Hehe, not a problem. I'll be there instantly. Just wait a bit for me! Bye, mwah..."
After finishing the call, Secretary Clara seemed to have forgotten Benjamin's presence entirely. She casually adjusted her clothes and unbuttoned her top, wearing a mischievous smile as she left Isabella's office.
As she passed by Benjamin, she paused for a moment. Then, she flicked her hair back and wore a suggestive smile on her lips.
"So, what do you think? Am I pretty? Too bad for you, you'll never have a chance with someone like me. Ha ha ha!"
Seeing the overly confident secretary Clara leaving, Benjamin's face turned into disbelief, standing there dumbfounded. He never thought that such a type of woman existed.
At that moment, Isabella had just come out of the meeting room. She saw Benjamin standing in her office, still wearing his casual clothes. Annoyed, she spoke up.
"What's taking you so long? We have to be at a party in half an hour. Are you planning to embarrass me again with your outfit?"
Having just been ignored by the secretary and now scolded by Isabella, Benjamin felt irritated and defended himself.
"You're late; how is that my fault?"
"What are you up to? Why did you bring me here?"
While driving, Benjamin was suddenly forced to stop by Isabella, who dragged him into a fashion store by the roadside. He was surprised and repeatedly questioned her.
However, Isabella's expression remained calm. She casually replied.
"What for? Of course, to buy clothes for you. Would I go to the party with you if you dressed like that? Don't be so naive. Hurry up and pick an outfit. We have less than 30 minutes left until the party starts."
Urged by Isabella, Benjamin had no choice but to enter the store quickly.
"Welcome, dear customers! How may I help you?"
Seeing a female employee with a beaming smile on her lips standing in front of the store to greet him, Benjamin couldn't help but smile and nod, then went inside. However, after a short while, his expression darkened. Seeing this, the store's female employee asked in surprise.
"Dear customer, is there anything in our store that has displeased you? Do you need any further assistance?"
"No, I just have a slight doubt. Are the clothes in your store made of gold? How can they be so expensive?"
Hearing Benjamin's question, the smile on the face of the female store employee instantly stiffened. But immediately after, she smiled brightly again and responded.
"You're quite the jokester. Our products are all from reputable brands. Each detail is crafted to meet the highest standards. So, no matter how demanding a customer may be, our products can satisfy them. If you feel that the quality of our products isn't guaranteed, our store will reimburse you."
Not far away, Isabella observed Benjamin chatting with the store employee. She felt slightly annoyed by their continuous laughter and conversation, so she slowly approached and inquired.
"What's going on? Haven't you found suitable clothes for yourself yet?"
Seeing such a beautiful woman appear, the female store employee was slightly surprised, her eyes wide open. However, she immediately put on a highly professional smile.
"Hello, are you two together? If you're shopping together, then let me advise you both. All the outfits here are for young people. With your youthful and beautiful style, I suggest this attire for elegant parties and important work events. Moreover, combining these outfits will create a strong bond between you, making you stand out at your events..."
Like a pre-programmed recording, the store employee introduced her products to Benjamin and Isabella. Initially, Isabella was drawn into the conversation. However, after seeing Benjamin continuously shaking his head and sighing, she frowned and looked at him.
"Don't you like these clothes?!"
The store employee's voice paused, and she looked at Benjamin confusedly.
"It's not that, and it's just..."
Benjamin tried to wink at Isabella. Then, he spoke softly.
"Look, the prices here are all too high. I don't have that much money; how can I afford to buy clothes here?"
At this moment, Isabella suddenly realized and smiled at him.
"I thought you were worrying about something else. Don't worry about this issue. Just consider it as a reward from the company for you."
Without waiting for Benjamin's agreement, she immediately pointed to the nearest outfit and told the store employee.
"Let me have this one."
She turned to Benjamin again.
"Go inside and try this outfit on. I think it might suit you!"
With her sharp eyes, the female store employee quickly noticed the unusual dynamic between Isabella and Benjamin. However, maintaining her professional demeanor, she continuously praised Isabella for her excellent attire for her boyfriend. Isabella didn't seem to care.
Upon seeing the prices on the clothes, Benjamin couldn't help but feel a little sting in his heart. However, as soon as he showed any intention of complaining, Isabella shot him a glance. Seeing her reaction, he could only keep quiet and enter the changing room.
After a while, Benjamin emerged from the dressing room, impeccably dressed in a black and white suit, his hair neatly groomed. At that moment, the store employee and Isabella were astonished by his appearance.
"So, does this suit not suit me?"
Feeling somewhat self-conscious as the two women stared at him, Benjamin touched his nose and asked softly.
"No, no... It suits you very well!"
Finally snapping out of her daze, Isabella responded. The store employee appeared even more enthusiastic, her eyes sparkling as she exclaimed,
"Wow, I never would have guessed you could look so handsome?!"
Hearing this, Benjamin likes flying to the sky.
