Chapter 81
At Shining Tech.
Timothy sat alone in his office until dawn.
Though he had stayed up all night, he was so clear–headed that he even felt excited.
He had been deceived in the past, but he understood everything now.
It dawned on him that the one he loved had always been Susan.
He thought to himself, “I understand that Susan had no choice but to marry Ben Landor.
But she still has feelings for me.
In this case, why can’t we get back together?”
Timothy looked at the sky and stayed up until it was almost time for work.
Then, he drove straight to the Storm Group.
He couldn’t wait any longer.
He was eager to see Susan in person and profess his feelings for her.
It was a coincidence that when Timothy arrived at the Storm Group, he happened to see Ben and Susan walking in the building hand in hand.
Timothy saw it clearly.
He could tell that Ben held tightly onto Susan’s hand while Susan looked a little angry.
Timothy felt it was obvious that Susan was unwilling to be intimate with Ben.

Timothy brimming with confidence.
He strode over and called out. “Susan!”
Susan turned around in amazement and then couldn’t help but slightly furrow her brows.
Ben squinted at Timothy and tightened his grip on Susan’s hand.

Timothy ignored Ben. He fixed his eyes on Susan and asked, “Can I have a word with you.
alone?”
He stressed the word “alone“.
Ben’s body tensed up slightly.
He was wondering what he should do if Susan agreed to Timothy’s proposal.
He wondered whether it would make him look petty if he stopped Susan from seeing Timothy alone.
However, Ben had to admit that he was indeed nervous at the thought of the ten–year relationship between Timothy and Susan.
Susan glanced at Timothy and said politely, “I have something to inform you, Mr. Leen. From today on, the person who takes charge of your project is no longer me. So, if you have anything to say, you’d better talk to the one who is responsible for the project. As for who it is, I will give you his contact information later.”
Timothy’s eyes dimmed, but he felt a little better when he thought Susan was just too afraid to express her true feelings with Ben around.
He looked directly at Ben and asked, “Mr. Landor, is this your idea? Are you so afraid to see me get in touch with Susan?”
Ben looked at Timothy and replied expressionlessly, “Afraid? What am I afraid of?”
Timothy chuckled. “First come, first served. Mr. Landor, do you need me to be explicit about what you’re afraid of?”
Susan knitted her brows and wanted to say something.
Ben stopped her.
Ben looked into Timothy’s eyes and said with a smile, “The latecomers surpass the old- timers. Mr. Leen, I don’t think you are so ignorant that you don’t even know this.”
Timothy’s gaze changed and was about to retort.

Susan couldn’t stand it anymore.
She couldn’t help thinking, “I can’t believe the two of them have started a fight right at the company’s gate.
Do they know all the staff are already looking at them curiously?”
It didn’t seem that the quarrel would end in a short time.
Therefore, Susan helplessly said, “Why don’t we go to the cafe nearby and talk there?”
“Sure, I agree with Susan. Let’s go,” Timothy immediately replied.
Ben instantly looked at Susan with a pitiful expression.
Susan added calmly, “I think you’ve misunderstood, Mr. Leen. I mean, Ben will come with
us, too.” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Ben looked a little better at once.
Timothy was stunned. “But it’s not convenient for an outsider to hear what I want to say to you.”
“Ben is not an outsider, and there’s nothing about me he can’t hear,” Susan said firmly.
Susan spoke with absolute certainty.
Ben could barely hold back his laughter when he saw Timothy’s reluctant expression.
He spoke to himself in his heart, “Calm down, Ben Landor. Calm down!
Easy, easy.”
Ben looked at Timothy with composure and said, “Susan is right. As my wife, she doesn’t need to hide anything from me.”
Timothy was speechless.
He was unwilling to accept it.
But he also knew how stubborn Susan was and she wouldn’t talk to him if Ben didn’t go

with them.
Timothy had no choice but to agree through gnashed teeth. “Alright, let’s go together.”
At Miracle Cafe.
Susan sat next to Ben and watched expressionlessly as the two men stared at each other silently.
Finally, Timothy took the initiative to end this childish game.
He turned to look at Susan and said in a gentle voice, “Susan, I sat in our company for the whole last night. I thought of a lot of things. I had a flashback to the days when we had just decided to start a business and had no idea what product to use to enter the market. The two of us used to keep discussing it in the empty office. At that time, we were happy. We worked hard for the same goal, and we…”
Timothy was recalling the past with affection.
Suddenly, Ben handed a piece of pastry to Susan and said in a gentle voice, “Try this,
Susan.”
Susan obediently opened her mouth.
Ben gently fed her. When he saw the cake chips on the corner of Susan’s mouth, he reached out and gently wiped her lips clean. Then, he said softly, “Look, you’ve become a dirty kitty.”
Susan was at a loss for words.
She felt a little anxious when she heard Ben suddenly speak in such a tone.
But Susan knew why Ben would talk like this, so she was willing to cooperate with him.
Thus, Susan put on a bashful expression and said to Ben, “Anyway, you won’t dislike me.”
Seeing how cooperative his wife was, Ben couldn’t resist grinning from ear to ear. “I’ll never dislike you.”
“I always know,” Susan said as she stared fixedly at Ben with trust.

Timothy was struck dumb.
He wondered if Susan and Ben were listening to him.
Timothy tried to gain control of the conversation. “At that time, we…”
“This also tastes good. Would you like to try it?” Ben picked up another piece of cake.
“I’ll surely taste the food you give me,” Susan said softly.
The two of them had directly ignored Timothy and began to show off their affection again.
Timothy couldn’t stand it anymore. “Susan…”
“Huh? What did you just say?” Susan looked at Timothy in confusion.
Timothy tried his best to maintain his composure. He didn’t want to beat around the bush. anymore, so he gritted his teeth and said bluntly, “Susan, there are so many beautiful memories of us. If it weren’t for Yana’s interference, we would have long since been together! It’s a mistake for me to be with Yana, and so is it for you to be together with Ben Landor. Why don’t we correct the mistakes?”
Timothy was indeed bold to say it out loud.
Ben looked at him coldly and said, “Mr. Leen, the relationship between you and Yana Miller may be a mistake, but that between Susan and I isn’t.”
“Mr. Landor, don’t lie to yourself,” Timothy said aggressively, “I can tell that you love Susan very much. Then, you should give way to her real happiness! Susan has loved me for ten years. Only by being together with me can she be truly happy.”
