Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 40 Unable To Tolerate

Just as I was in curiosity, Benjamin gave me the answer at once.

Knowing it was Dominic, I instantly furrowed my brows.

Is he trying to pry on matters that concern me?

It felt like he already knew beforehand that Julius would come to find me for the divorce.

Seeing that Benjamin hung up the call, I hesitated but ended up still asking, “What does Dominic want to find out?”

“Don’t be bothered about him. Let’s pick up from where we left off, Ms. Zanetti.”

“Huh? O-Oh yeah. So… When will you be free, and what cuisine would you like?”

Since the man did not want to delve into that, I figured not to continue asking either. After all, it did not matter to me what Dominic thought or wanted.

At last, Benjamin and I set the date on Saturday night at seven o’clock at a barbecue joint.

I loved barbecue; it was both affordable and delicious.

After saying goodbye to Benjamin, I hailed a taxi and rushed to meet Shannon. I gave her a call along the way.

As the two of us had lunch, I shared with Shannon about what happened earlier that day. Hearing my story of how Benjamin had helped me with the divorce and compensation, she immediately ordered a bottle of Moscato for a celebratory toast.

Of course, I was feeling overjoyed inside. The Moscato was low in alcohol content, so it would not affect my schedule even if I drank too much. More importantly, I also got rid of that massive pain in the neck — Julius.

After eating and drinking to our content, we headed toward Flash Media. However, upon our arrival there, the receptionist told us that it was not the working hours of the afternoon shift yet.

Glancing at the time, we realized it was only half-past one — the administrative staff would only start work at two.
