A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love -
Chapter 628
According to the itinerary, she should be here already.
Benji never thought that he would lose track of the person he was supposed to pick up. He immediately called her secretary, who answered with her usual business-like tone, "Mr. Lynch? What may I help you with?"
"May I know if Ms. Hestia Deschamps has already arrived in Genecity?" Benji asked.
Sylvie frowned. She stood up and walked out of her office. "Ms. Deschamps is coming to Genecity? When did this happen? Why wasn't I informed?"
"Huh?" Benji did not expect such an answer from Sylvie.
"About a week ago, our company sent a letter of invitation to Ms. Deschamps, inviting her to come to the Duvals' residence as a guest. Ms. Deschamps replied to us in her email, saying that she'll be attending. She even included her itinerary," Benji explained.
Sylvie's brow remained furrowed as she logged into her young lady's email and found her reply. She sighed. "Alright, Mr. Lynch, I think I know what happened. This is a private schedule that our young lady accepted on her own and is not within my job scope.
"I have no idea where she is right now, but I can assure you that you don't have to worry about her." Sylvie paused for a moment before continuing. "You may need to worry about the situation of those around you."
Benji was confused, and Sylvie added, "If you have suffered any property loss, you can call me at any time, and I'll handle the compensation issue."
Before Benji could respond, Sylvie had hung up the phone, as if she wished she had not answered the call that day and hoped she would never receive a call from Benji again.
Sylvie's abnormal reaction gave Benji a bad feeling. However, the top priority was to replace Hestia as soon as possible.
According to rumors, Mr. Deschamps was very fond of their daughter. She was smart and prideful, as well as talented. Many people wanted to pursue her, but she rejected them all, saying that there was no man in the world worthy of her.
It was only now that Benji realized that Hestia, who came to Genecity without telling anyone to attend the Duvals' family event, ought to be trouble. However, since she had already arrived, there was nothing he could do other than look for her.
Sighing, Benji lamented his unfortunate fate and turned around to send someone to the airport to check the flight number of Hestia. Meanwhile, he searched for Renfrew in the Duvals' Residence. Since both of them had gone missing, he had to replace someone so that Rickard would not be so angry at him.
He had checked all the places that Renfrew used to go, so Benji could only think of another way. He decided to search the backyard, which Renfrew did not usually like to go to, and surprisingly found him there.
"Young Master Renfrew!" Benji ran over to Renfrew, but to his surprise, Renfrew was sitting obediently on a chair while looking intently in a certain direction. When he heard Benji's voice, he turned his head around in response.
Feeling something was off, Benji approached a bit closer and realized that on the opposite side of Renfrew, there was a woman lying on the stone table under the trees. It seemed to him that she was sleeping.
"Who is she?"
Renfrew glanced at Benji and shook his head, gesturing for him to stay quiet. Then, he turned his attention back to the woman across from him, staring at her with a focused intensity.
Benji could not quite make sense of what was going on, but he was curious about the woman who was asleep in front of them. She looked strangely familiar, and he could not help but wonder who she was and what kind of connection she had with Renfrew.
Despite his silence, Renfrew's reaction to the woman was anything but ordinary. He usually ignored everyone, treated them like a piece of wood instead of a human, but in the presence of this woman, he seemed alert and attentive.
As Benji was caught in his thoughts, the woman struggled to lift her head, as if she had been awakened by their presence.
