CHAPTER 62

Blackbear sent one of his men to meet Christopher in the afternoon. Christopher was given a thousanddollars and was just told one thing. “Make Benjamin’s life difficult. Make him cry and run from his job, andyou’ll receive ten times more.” Of course, Blackbear was never thinking of giving another dollar more, butChristopher loved the offer. He never really liked Benjamin anyway, and he always secretly worried aboutBenjamin outshining him and snatching his job for him, so if he can make Benjamin quit the job, thiswould be hitting two birds with one stone.

He devised a plan and waited until evening. When Benjamin came back after delivering his last order, heleft his uniform and the work-related sim here. Christopher took the sim and gave it to another newdelivery guy and told him to do exactly as told. The new pizza guy took deliveries in Benjamin’s name theentire night and delivered late in half of the orders, and with pizzas messed up in some other cases. Hereceived a string of low ratings. Christopher, who was watching all the live data on his desktop, wasfeeling very happy. “I’ve switched off all the cameras in this place. There’s no way you can prove that itisn’t you, Benjamin. Everyone will think your greed got the better of you. Tomorrow might very well beyour last day at work, but I’ll get richer by ten grand!” At twelve in the night, he went to his home as ahappy man.

The next morning.

Christopher came early to set everything up. However, as he was having espresso, he got shocked afterseeing Benjamin’s ratings that got reset to where they were before Christopher gave Benjamin’s sim tothe new worker. “What the hell?” he rubbed his eyes once, twice, thrice, and ten times over. The resultwas still the same.

While he was utterly puzzled, Benjamin came and headed out for his first delivery. Christopher had giventhe new worker 500 dollars to make him quit his job and remain silent. But now, everything thathappened last night seemed like a dream. If he still didn’t have the remaining five hundred dollars given

by Blackbear’s underling, he would have likely doubted reality itself. Nevertheless, he began devisingother plans to take down Benjamin. Meanwhile, Benjamin again kept receiving the messages of moneybeing debited from his card as he was delivering the pizzas. He really wanted to see who was using thecard, but from the message infos, he had a guess. It was probably Veronica, he thought. Only she wouldfit the bill, as she wouldn’t blink twice before spending a thousand dollars or even a million dollars. Hecalled the customer care number that was in the message info.

A lady with a professional voice picked up his call. “This is Priscilla from Eternity Bank. It’s an honor toreceive a call from you, Sir Benjamin. Please, tell us the service you require.” “Can you tell me where mycard is right now?” “Just a second. Um, it’s in a movie theater.”

“In a theater?” Benjamin was surprised. “I’ll forward you the details, sir.” “Ah, thank you.” After getting thedetails, he went to the single-screen theater straight away and patiently waited outside until the showwas over.

While he expected Veronica to come out, Lisa and her boyfriend did, shocking Benjamin. A lot ofthoughts rushed through his mind. The two million dollar purchase of course was still fresh in his mind.What did she use that kind of money for? He couldn’t even imagine what she did with that much money?Did it give to her boyfriend, trusting him blindly? He couldn’t get his head around what might havehappened, but surely couldn’t just watch them as they walked out with smiles on their faces.

As Nate, Lisa’s boyfriend, was getting onto his bike, Benjamin entered their view with his gaze sharp asever. Nate still very much remembered the last time Benjamin manhandled him, and he looked at Lisanervously. “U-Uncle?” Lisa was also shocked to see Benjamin here. She snuck out of school during abreak, but she never expected her uncle to come to the same movie. Benjamin didn’t say anything andjust sat on his motorcycle that was coincidentally parked very next to Nate’s bike. He glanced at Lisa,and she took a second to realize why he looked at her, and then sat on his bike. He looked at Nate andsaid, “If I see you with her again during school hours, I’ll kick in your crotch so hard, you’ll have troublepeeing for the rest of your life.”

Nate shivered and stepped back in response. Benjamin drove away, whereas Lisa secretly gestured toNate that she will call him later. Benjamin noticed her actions through the mirror but acted like he didn’t.He dropped her at school even though it was already three o’clock, and there was only one more classleft.

But before she entered through the gate, he called for her, so she came back She thought he would takeher home.

“Give me the card,” he put his hand forward. She instantly understood what he meant, but why was heasking for the card given to her by her father? She acted like she didn’t know what he was talking about.“What card, uncle?” “The one you used to pay for the movie and the snacks,” said Benjamin. Her littlejaw dropped. How did he know that? Did he guess, or was he watching. “Have you been following mesince morning?”

“What?”

Her little brain began to piece things together the way she wanted. “Uncle, I think I’m starting tounderstand everything now. Why you hit my boyfriend the other day at the club, and why you showed upat the theater…”

“What are you talking about?” Benjamin sounded irritated. “Just give me the card and go to your class.”

“You… you like me, don’t you?” she said bluntly, peering at him with those round and big eyes of hers,scrutinizing all the movements of his facial muscles. Benjamin’s expression froze for a good threeseconds. “Huh?”
