Are you okay?

It was from Benjamin. Only his voice was as cold as an iceberg. Betty didn't know why such cold voice could relieve her heart at such an akward moment. He is just her boss and fake husband, she didn't know him well.

Rita was shaken, she didn't expect that benjamin will come to the washroom, why is he Soo overprotective of her?

Jeffery looked up and saw a handsome face with cold withering eyes .It seemed like his words were orders, Jeffrey loosened Betty's wrist immediately as soon as she got free Betty took a step back towards Benjamin. Seeing she was learning in, Benjamin asked with the touch of warmness in his eyes "are you okay"? Betty shook her head, she didn't want to get him involved in the chaos after all it had nothing to do with him "Yes, it was just a misunderstanding let's go please".

"I'm afraid is not a misunderstanding I saw you pushed rita just a few minutes ago is it a miss understanding?" Jeff questioned firmly and then turned to Benjamin "Mr Jackson you may not be aware of that this woman has been pestering rita for a while now this is not the first time". Betty was trembling with anger and she could not believe that the man she had love would one day treat her like this.

Benjamin didn't say anything and his eyes said it all they were now narrow, rigid, cold and hard. Holding betty's shoulder and cuddling her he stared into her eyes "she's my person she can do anything she wants" Betty heart skipped a beat what did he say? She looked into his eyes and couldn't help herself from blushing uncontrollably..... He was saving her.

Jeffery frowned slightly he felt a twinge of indescribable pain when he saw Betty and Benjamin together he didn't know why he felt this way.

Jeffrey came back and shook aside the chaos in his mind. "Mr Jackson you have spoilt this lady". Jeffrey said. "well if I don't spoil my person should I spoil your wife? Benjamin replied with a touch of sarcasm although he was smiling his words were like sharps sword, still you think you are qualified to teach me how to treat my lady? Benjamin was so arrogant but there was no way that Jeffrey would contradict him after all he didn't dare to offend Victoria Empire, it would not be good for his business in the city.

What Jeffrey didn't know that, what he had already said to Benjamin just now had already offended him. He should not have done that, Jeff lowered his head and concealed his feelings "Mr Jackson I'm sorry that was rude" Benjamin didn't even bother to look at them and left with Betty.

After they had vanished in the corridor Jeffrey was still in a trance Rita was so furious that she clinched her teeth but she didn't forget to wear masks of the saint Jeffrey you let them go? Jeffrey didn't coax her this time. " Rita remember he's your boss try to avoid betty any time you see her next time don't let yourself get hurt". Rita nodded, but her eyes became cold. Time was getting more and more urgent she must get rid of betty as soon as possible.

*********************************

All the way home Benjamin didn't say a word. He drove the car with his eyes fixed ahead, the vibe around him was weird and dreadful which indicated that he was not in a good mood. Betty wanted to explain to him but she was scared she patted her lips few times and said nothing. She licked her lips with her tongue as if they were dry she wanted to explain so much but she could not find the words she was too nervous.

She didn't know if she was doing something wrong, it was a deal between them not a real marriage why did he get too angry? Even so she still felt guilty as if she must give him a sensible explanation she hesitated almost the whole way until they arrived at the villa.

Benjamin parked the car and walk towards the house without waiting for her. She slowly walked in and when she finally entered the living room Benjamin had already returned to his bedroom.

Mrs Jackson, mr. Richard asked. Mr. Jackson seemed a little unhappy? Actually is not a little. His eyes scared him when he came back they were fine when they left why did they not enter the house together? Mr. Jackson's face was gloomy, he knew right away that something must have happened. Betty bot down her lower lip and answered awkwardly "maybe it was me?" I think I may have offended.

Mr Richard seemed like he was experienced. "Don't worry Mrs. Jackson, it may look like Mr Jackson is hard to approach but actually he won't mind if you were to apologize sincerely, "Mrs. Jackson must mean a lot to Mr. Jackson otherwise he would not have been so irritated. No other person could make him really angry no matter how big the mistake was.

Apologize? Thinking about the eyes which were as cold as ice Betty retreated and came back to her room and took a bath as she was lying in the bathtub she wondered if he was hungry since he had not eaten anything at the restaurant. Should she bring him some food? After all he had helped her so many times and bought so many clothes for her and it will be a shame to leave him alone.

His room was next to her's and she lightly walked over, raising her hand getting ready to Knock, she retreated again. What was she doing? she was a little annoyed with herself she wanted to turn back but she couldn't persuade herself to give in. She paced back and forth, but she couldn't get the nerve to knock on the door.

"Who is it? A voice as cold as ice came from somewhere in the house. Betty was scared she froze instantly looking around continuously she saw that she was alone in the empty corridor realising the voice was coming behind closed doors how did you know she was there?

Betty hesitated and ask sincerely "are you hungry Benjamin? there were silent for a while. she decided that he was not going to answer so she started to leave suddenly she heard and indifferent voices coming from inside again "no, I'm not". "okay" betty was trying to talk to him but now she didn't even know how to respond. She felt disappointed and slowly walked back. "Come in if you would like" he asked.

Betty didn't know if it was an illusion or not and the voice was not that cold she opened the door and sneaked in, but she noticed there was no light inside. Benjamin was standing beside the window leaning against the bar, his eyes were still cold and cruel but there was no jeweled hardness in his depths.

She walked in and had no idea what to do in the dark. His hand lifted to touch the the side of her neck a hint of colour washed into her pale chicks surrounded by silent she could almost hear her breathing and her slightly disturbing Heartbeat. "Now tell me" he said.
