Chapter 1120: This is what matters now to me.
After having a good laugh, Zoren found himself lying on the grass again, while Benjamin stayed where he was. They shared a quiet moment of peace. The weather was perfect, with the soft wind lulling Zoren into the possibility of a nap.
Zoren wasn’t sure if it was because of last night’s activity or just the ambiance, but he wouldn’t be surprised if he eventually drifted off to sleep.
Benjamin, on the other hand, glanced at his boss and smiled subtly. Looking away, he appreciated the beauty and serenity of their surroundings. It was far different from the city, indeed. In the main city, everything was just too fast—the people, the time, the cars, and everything else. One would quickly lose track of time if one wasn’t paying attention.
"Tell me about that time." Suddenly, Zoren’s cool voice snapped Benjamin out of his thoughts. He still had his eyes closed, his lips curling slightly. "That time you were talking about. I don’t think I’d remember, but I’m intrigued."
"Sir, I don’t think I should talk about that."
"And why’s that?"
"Because back then, I..." Benjamin trailed off, mentally wincing at the thought of the past. "I didn’t like you."
"Oh?"
"I was young back then, so I was careless. But I promise now, I like you very much from the bottom of my heart!" Benjamin panicked, thankful that his boss was Zoren and not Atlas. For sure, Atlas would’ve taken that the wrong way. Yes, Allen had told Benjamin all about it.
Zoren chuckled, still keeping his eyes closed. "It’s okay. You don’t have to be so defensive about it. After all... you wouldn’t be the first."
