Chapter 1046: Not aligned
"Sir, how could you just let that old fatty get away with it?!" Benjamin couldn’t help but complain while they were in the lift, seething in anger the more he thought of William’s smug grin. "He’s already that old, but he kept picking on the young ones — gah! This is so frustrating!"
"Sir Vitt..." Allen tried to calm Benjamin down, but to no avail. He glanced at Zoren and Atlas, but those two were acting as if Benjamin was nothing but a ghost. His face soured as he looked back at Benjamin. "Sir Vitt, I think it’s alright now. Please don’t get frustrated anymore."
"As if I want to be frustrated!" Benjamin scoffed at him, making Allen flinch slightly. "I mean, I’m not angry at you. I’m just frustrated that William Pierson is audacious enough to treat people like this! Besides, tell me who that security guard was who stopped you! I’ll make sure he gets punished for what he did! I’LL RUIN HIM!"
Allen smiled helplessly at Benjamin. "It’s alright now, Sir Vitt."
"It’s not alright!" Benjamin was almost breathing fire, and if he could, he would’ve gone with William Pierson and joined him in the lift to cremate him. "How dare all these people try to embarrass my boss?! I’m going to avenge him! You! Assistant Allen, you should get angry at them as well! Don’t just forgive them!"
"..." Allen was rendered speechless, but he had to admit Benjamin’s fearlessness was admirable. ’He wasn’t even scared to argue with an executive.’
Well, Benjamin worshipped no one. If someone could vouch for that, it would be Penny. She was one of the people who experienced Benjamin’s overprotectiveness firsthand. Even so, Allen felt reassured to have Zoren and Benjamin on their side.
"Sir Vitt, it’s alright now," Allen reassured Benjamin calmly. "I think we should all just move on."
"No way! I’m not moving on! The only way I’d move on is when I see that smug look on his face disappear!"
The more Allen tried to soothe Benjamin, the angrier the latter became. Meanwhile, while this was happening in the back, Atlas and Zoren stood side by side.
"I’m sorry about what happened," Zoren expressed quietly. "I should’ve waited for you in the lobby or asked Ben to see you to avoid such things."
Atlas didn’t even look at him as he spoke. "It’s alright. It’s my fault for rejecting your offer."
