Chapter 1575

Flossie left the letter by his computer and was about to leave the room when her hand brushed the mouse, lighting up the screen.

Caught off guard, she paused, eyeing the screen’s contents.

It was all news about Matthew.

She scrolled through, seeing nothing but news about him.

Flossie’s brows knitted in confusion.

Why was Benny checking out Matthew’s news?

Suddenly, a memory flashed-Matthew’s assistant on the day Benny got shot.

She shook her head, muttering, “No, it can’t be.

It must have been a mix-up.

”

She had been so flustered at the time that she could easily have made this mistake.

How did Benny even know Matthew?

She flipped through, trying to figure out what else caught Benny’s eye.

Footsteps neared the room, making her panic.

Flossie tried to close the tab, but Benny barged in before she could.

Caught red-handed, Flossie faced Benny, her heart racing.

He scowled, demanding, “What are you doing in here?”

Flossie instinctively hid the envelope, meeting his gaze head-on.

“Why are you reading about Matthew?” she fired back.

Benny’s eyes darted to the screen, realization dawning.

Flustered, he mumbled, “I just happened to stumble upon it.

”

“Really?” Flossie eyed him skeptically.

Benny felt a twitch at the corner of his eye.

He looked over at Flossie, running through the details on his computer in his mind to double-check that his plans were still under wraps.

Feeling a bit more at ease, he approached Flossie, took a quick glance at her computer screen, and asked, “Why on earth would I Lie to you? You mentioned that Stella, your best friend, is getting married to Matthew, right? So, I just got curious when I saw something about him.

Don’t overthink it.

”

Flossie paused, casting her eyes down as she pondered for a brief moment.

Then, lifting her gaze to meet Benny’s, she responded, “Okay, I’ll trust you for now.

”

She glanced at the clock, and it was already past midnight.

“Have you eaten yet? How about a late-night snack? I can cook something up for you.

”

With that, she started to move around the desk, heading towards the door.
