Chapter 240
"Mr. Whitlock..." Benjamin could not bring himself to say it.
"If you have something to say, just say it," Tobias said calmly.
Benjamin mustered up his courage and said, "Mr. Whitlock, Miss Tanner knows that you're here. She's been wanting to see you all this while."
A trace of coldness flashed in Tobias' eyes.
He looked at Benjamin with a stern look. He asked, "How does she know that I'm here?"
Benjamin lowered his head and said, "Mr. Whitlock, I'm not sure about that. Miss Tanner could not contact you, so she came to me instead."
A dark fire flickered in Tobias' eyes.
Of course Winnie could not contact Tobias; he had blocked her number long ago.
He would not receive Winnie's calls, text messages, or emails.
However, he didn't expect that Winnie would not give up, actually contacting Benjamin.
"I won't see her," Tobias said coldly.
Benjamin was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect Tobias to be so heartless as to not meet with Winnie.
He had been working for Tobias for many years, hence, he knew about Tobias and Winnie's relationship in university.
They used to love each other so deeply, but now when Winnie requested to meet him, he rejected her ruthlessly.
"Why are you still here?" Tobias cast a glance at Benjamin.
"Yes, Mr. Whitlock, I'll leave now." Benjamin realized that he had lost his composure and left in a hurry.
As soon as he left, his phone rang.
Benjamin's head ached when he saw the caller.
It was Winnie.
Benjamin answered the phone.
"Miss Tanner."
"Benjamin." Winnie's voice was charming and gentle.
Anyone who heard her voice would definitely think that she was beautiful and incredible.
"Have you talked to Tobias?" Winnie asked softly.
Benjamin was a man. Although he had no feelings for Winnie, he could not bear to hurt a beautiful woman like her.
Nonetheless, even if he couldn't bear to do so, there was nothing he could do. Tobias was very clear.
"Miss Tanner, Mr, Whitlock is busy with his work. I'm afraid that he has no time to see you," Benjamin answered tactfully.
The call went silent.
"Benjamin, I've been trying to get in touch with Tobias all these years, but he has never bothered to talk to me." Winnie choked on her tears. "You know about our relationship in the past, so I don't know why he's doing this to me.
Benjamin wanted to comfort Winnie but realized that he did not know how.
"Benjamin, I've been waiting for him for so long. It's a rare opportunity that he's in America. Can I please see him once? Just once, I promise. Since he used to love me so much, I don't believe that he would not meet with me. You have to help me." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Winnie requested with her soft and gentle voice. Benjamin's heart melted.
A hint of sympathy flashed across his eyes.
He had witnessed what happened between Winnie and Tobias. He also knew that Winnie had been trying to see Tobias, but he always refused.
Benjamin thought that Tobias should meet Winnie. After all, they used to love each other so much. Even if they broke up, there was no need for him to be so heartless.
However, he was just a subordinate; it was inconvenient for him to comment.
"Miss Tanner, I'm sorry. Mr. Whitlock has always been decisive. As his subordinate, I'm not in the place to comment on anything."
There was a pause on the other end of the line, and then Winnie's voice came again, "I understand. Thank you, Benjamin."
After hanging up the phone, Benjamin sighed deeply. He didn't know how Winnie would react if she knew that Mr. Whitlock was married.
Natalie met Queenie while she was working the day before. Coincidently, she met the fierce- looking woman from the Princess Cruise during working hours as well.
The girl looked sweet and lovely, but there was a hint of mockery in her words.
The moment Natalie saw her, she thought, "Gosh, I'm so unfortunate! Why do I keep stumbling upon these kinds of bad people?"
When Wendy saw Natalie, she was taken aback.
Wendy came to Agaphen City to look for Jack. Fortunately, Jack was done with his work, so she asked him to go shopping with her. They were just passing by the shop, so she went in to have a look. She realized that the worker looked familiar.
Wendy thought for a long time and finally remembered who she was.
They met on the Princess Cruise! She was Tobias' woman!
Wendy was interested.
Why would Tobias' woman come here to work as a shop assistant? Was she abandoned by Tobias?
At first, she even wondered how a man like Tobias would get together with such an ordinary woman. Sure enough, Tobias dumped her now.
Jack also recognized Natalie. A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes. He thought, "Why is Natalie working here?"
Natalie was speechless when she saw that Wendy had been staring at her.
Did she have a tattoo on her face? Did she have to keep staring at her like that?
"Beautiful lady, may I help you?" Natalie smiled sweetly and asked.
Although she previously had a bad encounter with Wendy, she was kind, so she did not think it was a big deal.
Now, she was a shop assistant and Wendy was her customer.
The corners of Wendy's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I knew it. How could the president of the YS Group be with such an ordinary woman? As expected, he has dumped you! You were so boastful before, so why aren't you boasting now?"
The smile on Natalie's face disappeared instantly.
She was kind but Wendy didn't appreciate her kindness, so there was no need for her to be kind.
Just as Natalie wanted to speak, Jack opened his mouth.
"Wendy, how can you say that?"
Natalie was stunned.
She only paid attention to Wendy just now, so she did not realize that Jack was beside her. Wasn't he the man she met on the cruise?
Wendy seemed to be a little afraid of this man. When she heard him, she stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
The man looked at Natalie with an apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry."
Natalie blinked repeatedly.
Although Wendy was very impolite, Jack was extremely well- mannered. Since he apologized, Natalie decided to forgive her.
Natalie smiled at Jack and said, "It's alright."
When Wendy saw Natalie smiling at Jack, hatred and jealousy flared up in her.
This shameless woman actually dared to smile at Jack in front of her! She must've wanted to seduce Jack because she was dumped by Tobias. How shameless of her!
"Wendy, which clothes do you like?" Jack looked at Wendy and asked.
She concealed her jealousy and hatred before holding up a white dress. "Jack, do you think this dress is beautiful?"
Jack nodded.
"I'll try it on." When Wendy took the dress and walked to the fitting room, she glared at Natalie behind Jack's back. There was a hint of warning in her eyes.
Natalie's breathing hitched.
