He Clings to Me Every Nigh
Translator: 549690339
Olivia Jenkins looked at Benjamin Johnson with mocking eyes, âWhat a coincidence, huh?â
Benjamin Johnson furrowed his brows lightly, his deep eyes also slightly squinting, âDo you suspect that Iâm stalking you?â
Olivia Jenkins rolled her eyes at Benjamin Johnson, âWho knows if itâs a possibility!â
Benjamin Johnson retorted seriously, âSo, by your logic, your car breaking down is also my doing?â
âIf the shoe fits, wear it!â
Without uttering a word, Benjamin Johnson rolled up the window.
Suddenly, Olivia Jenkins knocked on the car window, âIâm not done yet. Do you have a spare tire? Iâll buy yours!â
Benjamin Johnson burst out laughing, âSo, youâre treating me like a spare wheel!â
Olivia Jenkins glared at Benjamin Johnson with contempt, âWrong, youâre not even as good as a spare wheel. Even a spare wheel is more likable than you!â
Instead of getting angry, Benjamin Johnson found it amusing, âThere is indeed a spare wheel in my car, but Iâm sorry; itâs not for sale.â
Olivia Jenkins declared seriously, âYou owe me more than just a spare wheel. Itâs already me being generous to bargain with you.â
Benjamin Johnson got out of the car, fetched a spare tire from the trunk, and placed it down, giving the tire that needed to be replaced a few glances, âIt seems, you hate me a lot and want to get me killed.â
Olivia Jenkins spoke in a soft and indifferent tone, âI donât hate you, and I donât want to kill you, because youâre simply not worth my effort or even worth stirring my emotions.â
Benjamin Johnson gave Olivia Jenkins a meaningful look, âI only give away my spare tires, not sell them.â
âIâll transfer you the money; this car belongs to Daniel Marshall. I believe you two must keep clear accounts.â
Benjamin Johnson got in the car and drove away without saying much.
Olivia Jenkins transferred the money to Benjamin Johnson through WeChat, but he did not accept it.
Since Olivia Jenkins had already transferred the money, it was as if she didnât owe Benjamin Johnson any favors. Worse comes to worst, the next time she sees him, she could just return his spare tire.
While changing the tire, Valerie Howard asked, âOlivia, do you guys know each other? You seem to have some sort of grudge.â
âWeâve had run-ins before. I could recognize him even if he turned to dust, never thought weâd run into each other.â
Thinking for a bit, Valerie Howard said, âHe seems to be the former CEO of Zenith Capital.â
âThatâs him!â
âAfter leaving Zenith Capital, I heard he disappeared.â
âThis man is narrow-minded and cunning. Keep your distance if you can.â
Valerie Howard nodded innocently, âOh!â
They had to get back on the highway, so for safety reasons, Olivia Jenkins had no choice but to follow the directions to the nearest big repair shop for a check-up.
So, they arrived in Cross City much later than originally planned.
Along the way, they only had some dry food, so by the time night arrived, they were famished.
After checking in their luggage, Olivia Jenkins and Valerie Howard went to the hotelâs restaurant for a buffet.
Surprisingly, Olivia Jenkins saw Benjamin Johnson again.
Olivia Jenkins tilted her head, her sharp gaze scanning Benjamin Johnson, âYou wouldnât also be staying here, would you?â
Benjamin Johnson looked up, his gaze steady as he stared at Olivia Jenkins, âWhat youâre implying is that Iâm following you? Please get it straight; I arrived at this hotel before you did.â
A faint smile crossed Olivia Jenkinsâs lips, âWith such odds, Iâm considering buying a lottery ticket. Maybe Iâll win the jackpot.â
Benjamin Johnson shrugged indifferently, then continued eating as if nothing happened.
Olivia Jenkins and Valerie Howard sat at another table for their meal, with Valerie occasionally throwing meaningful glances at Benjamin Johnson.
Up until now, Benjamin Johnson hasnât accepted the money Olivia Jenkins transferred to him.
After leaving the buffet, Olivia Jenkins and Valerie Howard found Benjamin Johnsonâs car and returned the spare tire.
Just as Olivia was about to get into bed, Daniel Marshall called her on a video call.
âHoney, I ran into Benjamin Johnson twice today. Itâs quite a coincidence. Weâre both in Cross City and even staying in the same five-star hotel.â
