Chapter 103 The Tie Was for You
"No, I..." Catalina suddenly regretted it.
Why did she bring up the tie? Catalina was mad at herself.
Bennett looked furious, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"
Explain what?! How could she explain this? It was a total lie from beginning to end!
Catalina was flustered. She faltered and didn't know what to say.
Bennett stared at her coldly.
Catalina remained silent under his sharp gaze.
"No explanation?" Bennett gave her another chance.
Catalina bit her lips tightly.
She hesitated whether to say it or not.
"Get out!"
Catalina's hesitation, in Bennett's eyes, became timidity and panic after her betrayal.
Bennett let go of Catalina. He turned around coldly.
"Get out before I get angry." There was suppressed anger in his voice.
Catalina looked at the closed wooden door.
Should she leave?
If she left, the interview would fail, and all her efforts would be in vain. But if she didn't leave, she would
have to tell the truth...
Catalina leaned against the wall, panting.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Looking at the back of the man in front of her, she suddenly closed her eyes.
Forget it, she would do it!
"That tie wasn't for Aaron." She yelled.
She froze for a long time and dared not open her eyes.
Not hearing Bennett's voice, Catalina half-opened her eyes and tentatively glanced at the man in front
of her.
She found that he had turned around, staring at her with sharp eyes.
Catalina was so nervous under his gaze that she was sweating, her breathing was heavy and her
heartbeat was fast.
Catalina didn't speak. Bennett didn't speak either. He was just staring at her.
Finally, Catalina's hair stood on end under his intent gaze. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she had to
continue, "Well...that tie...was originally chosen for you. But I'm telling you, it didn't mean anything. I...I
know who I am. I bought it just to thank you for cooperating with me in putting on a show in front of my
grandma."
Bennett stared at her with burning eyes.
"Where's the tie?" He held out his hand to Catalina.
Catalina slapped him hard on the palm of his hand, "What tie? Do you think I will carry it around with
me? Besides, I'm not planning to give it to you anymore!"
Bennett reacted quickly. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms domineeringly, "Where did
you put it? I'll ask Vincent to get it right now."
His voice was hoarse.
"What?" Catalina lay on his firm chest and could feel his chest rising and falling violently.
This meant that his mood was also fluctuating violently
"Tell me!" Bennett looked eager.
"It's... in my current rented house. No! You can't ask Vincent to get it. If he goes, isn't it breaking?
Besides, I put it in my closet. Are you going to let a man rummage through my closet?"
"Give me the keys. I'll send a female secretary to do it."
He was so determined and impatient.
"I'll get it myself later."
Besides, did she say she would give it to him?
Catalina thought so in her heart, but she somehow obediently took out the keys from her pocket.
Just as she found the keys, Bennett snatched them and shouted, "Vincent!"
"Yes!" Vincent pushed the door open and entered.
Bennett tossed the keys to Vincent, "Go find that dark gray tie in her closet. Take Amy and let her look
for it!"
His last sentence wasn't just a reminder, but a warning.
He was warning Vincent not to touch Catalina's closet.
"Yes, Sir!" Vincent took the keys precisely.
Then he closed the door and left.
Catalina was still confused.
What had happened in the short few minutes just now? What was she here for? Why did she have a
long discussion with Bennett just now? Why did they end up talking about her giving gifts?
No, she hadn't finished her speech yet!
Having been interrupted by Bennett, Catalina found her mind in a mess now.
She withdrew from Bennett's arms, and gathered her thoughts a little, "You interrupted me and I even
forget what I was just now." NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
"The tie." Bennett kindly reminded her.
"Yes... that's right, the tie! You said you don't like Claire, but you're still wearing the tie she gave you."
Bennett raised his eyebrows, "Which tie did she give me?"
"Just the one that costs more than three million!"
Bennett was speechless, "How do I know which tie I have cost more than three million?"
"..."
"Besides, I have many ties that cost more than three million."
God! What did he say? He was so arrogant and rich!
She was jealous! No wonder Emery had encouraged her to steal his ties!
"Could it be the one with diamonds on the side that you're talking about? You said it was pretty, right?"
"That's right. That's the one!" Catalina pointed at him and nodded repeatedly, "That's it!"
Bennett sneered, put one hand in his pocket, and strode to the desk. He sat lazily on the edge of the
desk with crossed legs and said, "You asked me that day, and I answered it. That tie was chosen by
the stylist."
"You're lying!" Catalina walked forward, stood in front of Bennett, and looked him in the eye, "I bought
that tie with Claire. There are only two of them in the world, and it's a customized version. Don't tell me
that it just so happens you two bought them."
"Yes, it's exactly what you said." Bennett sounded frank and affirmative.
He squinted his eyes, raised his chin, and looked at her, "So you got angry with me that day just
because of this?"
"What? No, no!" Catalina shook her head repeatedly with a guilty conscience.
"You're not happy that I'm wearing the tie Claire gave me?" Bennett ignored her denial.
"No!" Catalina denied.
She blushed.
She blushed even more under Bennett's stare.
"If you're not unhappy, why don't you admit that the tie was for me?" Bennett grabbed her and pulled
her closer to him.
He tilted his head and stared at her blushing face, "Catalina, are you jealous?"
