Chapter 84 The Trap Four Years Ago

Chapter 84 The Trap Four Years Ago

Catalina thought, "Tomorrow is Bennett's birthday."

"Should I prepare a gift?"

"What kind of gift will be appropriate?"

Outside of work, Catalina kept thinking about the question.

Later, when Catalina opened the drawer, she saw the tie she had carefully prepared for Bennett last

month.

Catalina thought, "What about this one?"

"I didn't get a chance to give this tie to him before."

"Now, I have the opportunity, and I can give it a try."

"Well, what am I supposed to tell him then?"

"Last time I said that this tie was for Aaron, but now I'll give it to Bennett."

"With Bennett's character, will he tear up the tie on the spot?"

Catalina felt that it was a great possibility.

She rested her forehead and felt it was rather a difficult problem.

Catalina thought she had shot herself in the foot.

She thought, "Forget it. Just give it to him as a gift!"

...

For the first time, Catalina felt that time passed so slowly. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Time was like an elderly man, walking slowly and leisurely. The clock shook slowly.

Catalina stared at the quartz clock on the wall and had an impulse to set the hour hand directly to the

number eight.

Catalina already put on her makeup twice. Besides, she also stood in front of the full-length mirror to try

on more than 20 sets of clothes, including four seasons clothes. She even tried on the clothes in

Emery's wardrobe. But it was only 6 p.m.

Time went by so slowly.

When the clock struck seven, Catalina directly sprang up from the sofa and carried her bag. Then she

stood in front of the full-length mirror again to check herself carefully more than five times.

After confirming that she was well-dressed with exquisite makeup, Catalina wore her high-heeled

shoes and went out of the house contentedly.

Catalina took a taxi and went to Spring Fall.

Sitting in the car, Catalina kept telling the driver to drive slowly.

Actually, Catalina was ambivalent. When she was at home, she eagerly hoped that time would go by

faster. However, Catalina hoped to go slower now when she was arriving soon because it was still

early.

If Catalina arrived too early, it would show that she was too urgent.

Moreover, this appointment was definitely the first date between Catalina and Bennett in the true

sense.

Catalina was very nervous.

The hands in front of Catalina had been quietly sweating.

"Lady, here we are."

The taxi driver in front reminded Catalina.

Catalina thought it was so fast.

She turned her head and glanced out of the car window.

Catalina indeed arrived.

Catalina took a deep breath. After relieving tension, she got out of the car.

Spring Fall, which had always been lively, was surprisingly quiet today.

The splendid gate was closed tightly, and only two beautiful waitresses waited respectfully outside the

door.

Catalina guessed that Bennett might have booked the whole restaurant.

Catalina stepped forward with her bag.

Unexpectedly, one of the waitresses guarding the door stepped down quickly and stopped Catalina

before Catalina walked up the steps.

"Sorry, lady. Our restaurant is not open to the public today."

"But..."

"Mr. Shaffer has booked the whole restaurant."

The waitress was afraid that Catalina would break in. Before Catalina could finish speaking, the

waitress directly interrupted Catalina and continued, "Mr. Shaffer has already booked here. He is now

enjoying a candlelit dinner with his girlfriend, so they refuse everyone to disturb them. Please forgive

me."

"Girlfriend?"

"Yeah!"

The waitress continued, "Mr. Shaffer's girlfriend. Don't you know? There was a lot of news about them

some time ago. It's the famous actress Claire."

Catalina was stunned, and her face turned pale.

Catalina didn't expect that Claire would be here too!

"Is she...in there?"

"Yes, she has just arrived."

Catalina couldn't say anything.

She looked as pale as death.

Then she looked back at the open-air parking lot behind her.

There was a high-end nanny car park directly opposite the gate, which indeed belonged to Claire.

Catalina still remembered the license plate number.

It was not until this moment Catalina realized that Bennett wanted to send that text message to Claire

yesterday and make an appointment with her for dinner.

Catalina thought, "I don't have to disturb them."

"If I go in, am I going to embarrass them or me?"

"Did Bennett deliberately ask me to join them?"

"He clearly knows I care about the relationship among us a lot. Is that why he let me be in an

embarrassing situation? He just wants to embarrass me!"

Catalina looked at the glass of the French window in front of her, which reflected herself gussied up.

Suddenly, she felt that even the makeup on her face was like a joke.

It seemed to laugh at Catalina's over-confidence, her wishful thinking, her self-sentimental!

"Lady, are you a fan of Claire? Sorry, you are not allowed to stay at the door."

Seeing that Catalina had been standing at the door and not leaving, the waitress had to urge her.

Catalina quickly took a tissue from her bag and wiped the lipstick from her lips heavily. Then she

stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth and said, "Sorry, I went to the wrong place."

Catalina turned around and hurried away in her high-heeled shoes.

It put Catalina in an awkward position.

The candy slowly melted in Catalina's mouth, and she felt the sweet taste. However, it couldn't make

her heart sweet.

There was some bitterness in her heart as if it was immersed in a thick bitter melon juice.

Catalina felt she was extremely uncomfortable.

...

Inside Spring Fall.

Bennett had a gloomy look since Claire appeared.

"Why are you here?"

Bennett did not make an appointment with Claire.

"I know you will definitely come here to celebrate your birthday tonight."

Claire knew Bennett as well as Catalina.

After all, involvers always got confused while outsiders could be more clear.

"Get out."

Bennett ordered coldly.

Bennett's face was gloomy and chilling.

Claire frowned slightly with a sad expression. She said, "Ben, don't I even have the qualifications to

accompany you to celebrate your birthday after so many years? Even if you have never loved me, we

have been together for a long time. Have you forgotten the night we made love four years ago? Have

you forgotten how you ejaculated on me? Ben, it was the first night for both of us. Why can't you try to

accept me?"

Hearing Claire mention the first night, Bennett had a more gloomy look.

Bennett stared at Claire coldly and said indifferently, "Claire, you know that I was drugged that night.

Or, I wouldn't sleep with you."

Because Bennett was drugged, he regarded the woman that night as Catalina!

Bennett admitted that he had a great night at that time. However, it was not because of Claire nor the

drug reaction, but because he thought the woman who had sex with him was Catalina.

In fact, Bennett had been trying to figure out who drugged him for so many years, but unexpectedly,

nothing was found. Even the surveillance video in the hotel had already been destroyed.

Obviously, someone had set a trap for Bennett a long time ago.

But who was that person? Why did the person set such a trap for Bennett? Why did the main woman

be Claire?

There were too many questionable points that Bennett couldn't figure out.

What Bennett could be sure of was that the person was by no means an ordinary person.

If it were just an ordinary person, it would be impossible to hide completely under Bennett's nose and

still do so without leaking.

Bennett always felt that there was a big trap waiting for him.

It was just that Bennett didn't know when the trap would be used.
