Chapter 102 The Meaning
Fortunately, it was a wooden floor, so she wouldn't bruise her head and bleed.
Catalina fell to the floor, gasping for breath. Her bangs had been soaked with sweat, sticking to her
forehead wetly, which was embarrassing.
Directly opposite, the man in the main seat looked neat in a suit.
He was sitting there aloof like a king, imposing and dignified.
It formed a sharp contrast with Catalina who was in a mess on the floor.
But Catalina didn't care about it. Of course, she didn't have time to care.
She was just here for work.
She raised her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist, "Three, two, one! Time is up!"
She smiled at Bennett, "Mr. Shaffer, can we start the interview now?"
Bennett raised his eyebrows slightly, "When did I say I would accept your interview?"
"Are you going back on your word?!"
Catalina quickly got up from the floor.
Bennett pushed away the swivel chair, got up, and strode towards her, "I've never agreed to accept
your interview. I just said I could give you a chance to convince me."
Catalina bit her lips and glared at him angrily.
Bennett put his hands in his pockets and strode towards her, "Who allowed you to change people
temporarily?"
He stared at her condescendingly, looking dangerous.
"... What?" Catalina panicked.
She was forced to step back again and again.
"You think I'm someone you can hit on when you want to, right?"
"Of...of course not!" Catalina put her hands on her chest defensively.
He was Bennett. How dare she hit on him casually?!
Catalina was forced to retreat and finally, her back hit the door heavily.
There was no way out.
"Then what do you mean?" Bennett looked cold.
He clasped Catalina's jaw with his old long fingers, and raised it domineeringly, "Look at me! Answer
me!"
He looked fierce as if he would break her neck at any time if she protested.
"I..." Catalina was so nervous that she gasped.
In the end, she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, "Okay, I will tell you!"
She opened her eyes and raised her head to meet his sharp gaze, and asked loudly, "What do you
think of me or Claire now?"
Bennett frowned.
It seemed he hadn't expected that she would suddenly ask this question.
"I know you don't like me, and even hate me. You only want to avenge your brother, so you are trying
your best to humiliate me, right? I know I should apologize to the Shaffer family and Warren. So I
accept your humiliation. But what about Claire? Don't you think you should respect her more?"
Bennett looked cold, "When did I disrespect her?"
"You have never respected her! You like her, but you forced me to marry me! You just kissed her, but
you... kissed me..." Catalina found it hard to say it.
She blushed with shame.
Her head shrank back, "What did you say? You said... it tasted good."
Catalina felt too awkward to say it.
Bennett raised his eyebrows and smiled, "So what?"
He sounded arrogant as always.
Catalina got angry, "So what? You can ignore my feelings, but what about hers? Don't you love her?
Don't you need to consider her feelings? Why on earth are you doing this? Are you trying to turn us
against each other? If so, then your method is too naive!"
"Turn you against each other?" Bennett snorted, "Your friendship is so fragile. Do you think I need me
to do that?"
Bennett stretched out his hand, clasped her forehead domineeringly, and pressed her against the wall
until she was unable to move, "Let me remind you again. That girl has never regarded you as a true
friend at all. Your friendship is just your wishful thinking! Catalina, she doesn't like you, don't you
understand? Think about it. Are you stupid or something?"
"You!" Catalina was so pissed off by Bennett's last sentence.
"Yes! I admit it's just my wishful thinking. I'm not worthy of making friends with her, let alone being your
wife. Are you satisfied?" Catalina was pissed off.
Bennett didn't relent, and he suddenly raised his voice, "If you're angry, you should vent your anger on
her! Why are you yelling at me?"
Catalina choked.
It suddenly occurred to her that she came to him not to argue with him. She came to beg him for an
interview.
It was almost screwed up by her again. No, it had probably been screwed up by her already.
Catalina turned her head, looking very aggrieved.
Bennett glanced at her, "Are you feeling aggrieved?"
"No," Catalina said coldly.
She snorted proudly.
Bennett ignored her anger, hooked her chin with his long fingers, and forcibly turned her face back,
"Also, when did I tell you that I like Claire?"
"You don't like her?"
"No," Bennett answered crisply.
This was the first time Catalina had asked him so directly. It was also the first time Bennett had given
her an answer so straightforwardly.
Catalina's heart skipped a beat.
She stared at him in disbelief.
After a few seconds, she came to her sense, "You're lying!"
She had almost believed it.
Bennett frowned unhappily, lifted her chin, leaned closer, and asked angrily, "I'm not!"
"But you are! If you don't like her, how could you wear the tie she gave you? Don't you know the
meaning of a woman giving a man a tie?"
When Bennett heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
There was a frightening coldness in his deep eyes.
He pinched Catalina's jaw with his fingers, and couldn't help but increase his strength. A sinister sneer
appeared on his face, "Then tell me, what's the meaning of a woman giving a man a tie?! Catalina,
you'd better think about it carefully before answering me!"
Catalina didn't understand why Bennett suddenly became so angry.
She didn't even think about it, and replied directly, "When a woman gives a man a tie, it means that she
wants this man to stay by her side forever. If the man accepts the tie and puts it on, it's equivalent to
acquiescing to her love!"
When Bennett heard her words, his eyes turned cold, "So, that's why you gave Aaron a tie?"
"What?" Catalina was confused.
What the hell? Why did the topic come back to her in the end?
It seemed that she had made a big mistake and gotten herself in trouble instead.
