Are you my father?

Cindy Richards was just sitting at her desk contemplating some things when she felt someone nudge her. The nudge almost scared her shitless, but when she looked up, it was actually Ariana Stephens. She coughed, "What is it?"

Ariana Stephens pointed at something, and when Cindy turned to look, it turned out to be Benjamin Clarke, who was staring unblinkingly at her. He was accompanied by Sharon Toll and Joanna Bloom.

Joanna Bloom's face was full of displeasure, while Sharon Toll did not even want to look at her. Cindy did not even bother with them, so she focused on Benjamin, "Mr. Clarke, what brings you over?"

Benjamin was still holding the flowers he had gotten from Cindy, and they seemed very precious to her. He held them close to his heart and looked at Cindy with his puppy dog eyes, "I want to be designed by you. That is why I am here!"

Cindy was a little taken aback. Wasn't Benjamin an exclusive client of Joanna Bloom's? If this was the case, then what in the world was he doing here?

Benjamin batted his eyelids, "I know you are surprised, but Miss Sharon over here accorded me the pleasure of working with any team of my choosing, and I choose you!"

Sharon Toll heard that and almost spewed blood! When did she give Benjamin the chance to pick any team he wanted? Benjamin was lying right in front of her!

Joanna Bloom looked at Benjamin, "Superstar Benjamin, I think you are making a mistake. Our team has already prepared the better outfits for you. This group has never styled a big artist such as you, and they will not be able to…"

Before she could finish, Benjamin quickly left and went to stand beside Cindy's desk, leaving Joanna Bloom to speak on her own.

Joanna Bloom stopped speaking and looked angrily at Benjamin and Cindy. She ground her teeth in anger, and her hands formed little fists, and she looked around only to see the other co-workers looking at her strangely.

Joanna Bloom had always been the most popular one in the office due to her involvement with Alexander Sterling and also due to her frequent collaborations with Benjamin, but Benjamin had now broken off their partnership in front of people. She was bound to lose a lot of face.

She quickly scoffed and walked away angrily. Her six-inch heels clinked to show just how angry she was. The people looked at her back and smiled. Some gazes were full of worry, while others smiled discreetly!

Sharon Toll also had no reason to stand here any longer, so she also scoffed and walked away. Ariana Stephens watched her leave, and a small smile plastered across her face!

Their team had always been looked down on, but with Benjamin's help, they were bound to become the talk of the whole company!

Benjamin was staring at the design on Cindy's monitor and exclaimed, "Your designs are very unique, but why do they not have faces?"

Cindy was having a hard time getting used to the fact that Benjamin was standing next to her. Benjamin was impossibly close, and Cindy shifted to the side.

After hearing Benjamin's question, she was taken back to when Alexander Sterling asked her the same question some time ago. She then thought of him, and when she thought of him, she remembered that it was Joanna Bloom whom he loved, and her mood plummeted once again.

She looked at her faceless designs, and a little pain engulfed her heart. All of these designs were drawn after Carmen Richards had died.

When she was still studying, she had always wanted to make Carmen a lot of clothes that she had designed herself, but now that Carmen was gone, she could not really put any faces to her drawings because putting Carmen would hurt deeply.

She coughed and looked at Benjamin, "They are just samples, and they are also not done yet, so when I am done, I will definitely add the faces."

Benjamin nodded and took a nearby seat all by himself. Cindy wanted to tell him to feel free, but he was already acting as if this was his own house!

Ariana Stephens looked at him and then turned to Cindy. She gave her a discreet thumbs up and then went out to call the rest of their teammates.

Cindy was left all alone with Benjamin, who kept staring at her as if she had something on her face. His gaze was hard, and Cindy did not know what to do about it. She looked at Benjamin, "Is there anything on my face?"

Benjamin coughed when he was caught staring, but in this small expanse, he just couldn't look at anything else but her.

He could not forget the very first time that he saw her, nor could he forget how his heart acted weirdly when he saw her face, and now that she was here as well, he was slowly starting to feel as if this was fate bringing them together.

He wanted to say something, but his phone rang at this particular moment. He mouthed a small, 'sorry' to Cindy before picking up the call.

As soon as he put the phone to his ears, his manager's angry voice could be heard even by Cindy, who was a few centimeters away, "I heard that you broke off our partnership with Joanna Bloom, are you crazy?"

Benjamin pulled the phone away from his ears before putting it back, "Who even told you that?"

His manager clicked his tongue, "Is that important?"

Benjamin nodded, "Of course it is. It only happened a few minutes ago yet someone has already snitched on me, so how can it not be important?"

His manager scoffed, "It does not matter! Anyway, I have already told Joanna Bloom that you will still be working with her, so you must ensure you go back to her!"

Benjamin feigned anger after being scolded, "Are you my father? Why are you nagging so much!"
