Chapter 441:
“Relax. I’m not a little kid.” Kailey checked the hallway in a quick sweep, then leaned in and pressed a kiss to his cheek. “I brought my own car. I’ll come again tomorrow p>
“Kailey p>
She raised a hand and stopped him before he could continue. “We settled this already, so there’s no changing it now. I’m leaving, and you should get back to work.” A quick wave followed, and she stepped inside the elevator.
A crease formed between Kyson’s brows as he turned aside. “Since when did this international meeting appear p>
Devin explained, “Mr. Blake, did you forget? We finalized a major contract, and the client is coming this afternoon. We need to arrange a short call with their Ustuijan headquarters first p>
Kyson’s mouth tightened into a thin line, and he headed for the conference room, his long stride covering the hallway with ease.
The elevator doors opened downstairs, and Kailey stepped out to find Benny sitting at the entrance. A takeout box rested on the table, and the empty bag slumped in a heap on the floor.
“Did it taste good?” she asked.
The question made his shoulders jerk for a fraction of a second. Composure returned just as fast, and he scoffed, “It was fine. Just tell them to skip the garlic next time. I hate that stuff p>
“Is that so?” Kailey laughed softly, entertained that he had eaten everything despite his complaints.

She slipped the container back into the bag, her eyes wandering toward him. “What about your back? Is the injury alright p>

“Fine, fine. I’m leaving,” Kailey replied with a smile, clearly entertained by the toughness he was putting on.
Her elegant silhouette faded down the hallway, and Benny dragged his gaze away, something heavier than impatience darkening his eyes.
Before he could sit again, the shriek of brakes cut through the air outside.
Two sleek cars stopped at the curb, and well-dressed bodyguards stepped out first. The rear door of a Mercedes opened, and a woman emerged in cream heels that showed off her long legs. Oversized sunglasses slid into place with a practiced motion, and the confidence around her carried the polish of old money. Every movement from her entourage spoke of control, wealth, and quiet authority.
Recognition sparked at once, and a low laugh left Benny. “So she actually showed up. This should be fun p>
Within seconds, her attention snapped to him as well. Shock widened her eyes, and the sunglasses dipped slightly as she stared. “Benny? I can’t believe it’s you. Why are you here dressed like that p>
Comfort settled into Benny’s posture, and he lounged back with a harmless grin. “Have you forgotten what a security uniform looks like, Candice p>
Patience held her tongue, and she waited for him to continue.
“I was bored, so I decided to hang around and work with Kyson. Tell me honestly — do I pull it off p>
