Chapter 80 Stuck in Bennett's Room
Catalina was infuriated. She said, "You're blackmailing me!"
And he claimed to have shown her mercy.
It was shameless for him to say that.
He was clearly a super cunning businessman.
Bennett stood up, looking at ease, and said, "I gave 150 thousand dollars to my investment consultant,
and he can turn it into 1.5 million dollars in just one month. I only asked for 1.5 million dollars after
lending the money to you for five months. What else do you want, Catalina? If it weren't for you serving
me for one night, I wouldn't even have given you this price!"
"You..."
Catalina was so angry that she was about to cry, and she couldn't say a word.
How could Bennett talk so casually about that night?
Also, did she and him sleep for only one night?
They clearly had spent two nights together!
"1.5 million dollars is impossible. You lent me 150 thousand dollars, and I'll pay you back 180 thousand
dollars in total. The additional 30 thousand dollars will be the interest. Take it or leave it!"
With these words, Catalina turned around and walked away.
She suddenly regretted buying that tie which cost 22.5 thousand dollars for him!
She did not give it to him, and she also couldn't return and refund it. Now she can only put it away in a
box, which made her even angrier.
Catalina angrily pulled the door, preparing to leave.
But...
She couldn't open the door?
What was going on?
Catalina tried to pull it open again.
Still, she failed.
Was it locked?
Catalina looked at the small lock at the bottom.
What happened? It was not locked!
Catalina tugged at the lock and pulled the door, but it still wouldn't budge.
She closed her eyes to suppress the raging anger in her chest. She turned to the man standing in the
living room and said, "Open the door."
"What does it have to do with me?"
Bennett was acting with an aloof attitude.
"You must know how to unlock it, don't you?"
"Of course I do."
"How can I unlock the door?"
Catalina stepped aside.
"With a key or a password, from the outside."
"..."
Was this guy being serious?
Catalina was infuriated.
But to her surprise, Bennett walked towards the bed and directly lay down on it.
"If you want to open the door, reach out to Ralph by yourself. He was the one who locked the door, and
it has nothing to do with me."
With this cold response, he turned around, covered himself with the blanket, and fell asleep.
He did fall asleep.
How relaxed he was!
Catalina was speechless.
She quickly took out her phone and called Ralph.
To her dismay, his phone was turned off.
She had no choice but to call Wendy.
To her surprise, Wendy's phone was also turned off.
What was going on?
Catalina felt like she was tricked by the old fox Ralph again.
Unable to open the door or get help from the outside, and with Bennett showing no interest in helping,
Catalina had to figure out how to solve the problem on her own.
"Hello?"
"Hailee!"
She pounded on the door and called out loudly to the maid waiting outside, "Hailee! Hailee, are you
there?"
No matter how loudly she shouted or how hard she pounded on the door, there was no response from
outside.
And the man on the bed seemed to be completely unaffected. He was lying there and did not move at
all, as if he was sound asleep.
Bennett was known for having good sleep.
But in Catalina's eyes, he just didn't care about it!
Like now...
Catalina sat back on the sofa feeling frustrated. She crossed her legs, tapped her bare feet on the sofa
ad said, "Bennett."
He ignored her.
"Bennett?"
Still, he made no response.
Was he really asleep?
"Bennett!"
Catalina turned around to look at him.
Finally, she didn't want to wait anymore, so she got up and walked to his bed.
Bennett was still sleeping with his back to her.
Catalina leaned forward and patted his shoulder. She raised her voice and said, "Bennett, don't pretend
to be asleep. You must have a way to contact Ralph. You have an internal phone line. Hurry up..."
However, before Catalina could finish speaking, Bennett kissed her red lips suddenly.
Catalina stared at him in shock.
The next second, she pushed the man in front of her away, bouncing off as if she had been startled.
She stumbled and fell to the ground by the side of the bed.
Her face blushed, and she covered her lips that were kissed by Bennett with the back of her hand. She
asked while staring at him in embarrassment, "Bennett, why are you doing this?"
Bennett lazily leaned against the headboard, gave a cold glance at her blushing face, and replied,
"You're so loud! You're giving me a headache."
"If I'm being loud, do you have to shut me up like that?"
"What else can I do?"
"You pervert!"
Catalina was infuriated by his arrogant attitude.
She stood up and said, "Call Ralph for me, or I'll keep waking you up all night."
"Are you threatening me?"
Bennett raised his eyebrows.
She noticed a sense of danger from his expression.
His eyes lingered on her red lips, and he said, "Then you can have a try. See if you can scream louder,
or if I can silence you."
"..."
Catalina glanced at his sexy thin lips, and her face turned red.
She bit her lip and made a pouty face. She sat back on the sofa and not daring to make a sound.
She shouldn't have believed Ralph's nonsense, nor should she come back!
Now she was trapped here, and this served her right!
Bennett turned his head and looked at Catalina who was sitting in the sofa. His eyes brightened.
Suddenly, he felt that his usually large but empty bedroom was finally different...
He couldn't explain it, but at least he didn't hate it.
And there was a warm feeling in his heart.
He felt very cozy.
Bennett crawled back into bed and fell asleep.
Catalina didn't bother him anymore.
This time, Bennett really fell asleep and slept soundly.
Catalina remained motionless in the sofa with her legs bent and her chin resting on her knees.
The two of them stayed quietly in the same space.
It wasn't until Catalina confirmed that Bennett was truly asleep that she dared to turn around and
glance at him sleeping in bed.
He was still sleeping with his back to her.
But even just the sight of his back stirred her up.
In the past, she really wished she could be closer to him, even closer.
She was scared now when she was so close to him. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She was afraid that if they became too close and intimate, the pain would be too much if she lost him.
Even the pain of imagining losing him was too heart-wrenching to bear.
If she was destined to lose him, why bother being together in the first place?
Besides, he never belonged to her.
As she was thinking to herself, her head rested on her knees, and she fell asleep.
She slept until the next day, and it was dawn.
Outside the Lake Compound, there were birds singing and fragrant flowers.
As she was thinking to herself, her head rested on her knees, and she fell asleep.
She slept until the next day when it was dawn.
Outside the Lake Compound, there were birds singing and fragrant flowers.
The lake was sparking with ripples and shimmering sunlight like diamonds.
Colorful fish were swimming in the lake.
The sunlight shone through the thin curtains and fell on the two of them cuddling in bed.
The withered peach tree branch on the bedside had quietly sprouted new buds, and there were green
plants on the desk.
It was spring in the Lake Compound, and everything looked so fresh and pleasant.
As she smelled the flowers and listened to the birds singing, Catalina slowly woke up from her sleep.
But to her surprise, she opened her eyes and saw Bennett's stunningly handsome face.
