Chapter 38 Undercurrents at the Table

A fleeting memory crossed Benson’s mind, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

It was a warm and genuine smile, touching the softest parts of the heart, who saw it feel moved.

Yvonne watched from the side, her emotions a mix of complexity.

in anyone

She didn’t want to stay here, witnessing Benson immersed in thoughts of another person.

Sighing lightly, she said, “Get some sleep early. I’m heading upstairs. Her voice carried a hint of resignation and fatigue.

Benson simply responded with an “Mm,” without saying much more.

His gaze remained fixed in the distance, seemingly chasing after the figure that stirred his heart.

In the living room, Benson was left alone, his fingers gently rubbing the ring on his finger, the only link between him and her.

Mr. Donald always said his feelings were sincere, but why did she seem to vanish from this world? No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t replace any trace of her.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, falling onto Yvonne’s bed.

She slowly opened her eyes, feeling the freshness and hope of a new day.

Today, as usual, she would don her neat professional attire, head to the office, and start her day’s work.

However, when she went downstairs to have breakfast, Maria, the maid, interrupted her thoughts.

“Miss, Mr. Benson left early this morning,” Maria said, sounding a bit surprised, as if she also found Benson’s sudden departure perplexing.

Yvonne paused, feeling a surge of complex emotions.

Benson’s departure had undoubtedly saved her from a possible awkward encounter.

Since the last banquet, their relationship had become delicate, each meeting like tiptoeing around each other’s sensitive nerves.

Taking a deep breath, Yvonne asked, “Did he leave any message?” She tried to keep her voice calm.

Maria shook her head, “No, he left in a hurry, seemed to have something urgent.”

Yvonne nodded, not pressing further.

She knew some things were futile to ask if the other party didn’t want to share.

She sat down to have breakfast, but her thoughts had already drifted to the work av

her.

After breakfast, Yvonne went back to her room and carefully selected a dark blue sui paired with a white shirt, looking both professional and elegant.

Standing in front of the mirror, she tidied up her appearance. Once everything was in she picked up her briefcase and left the house,

The morning air was crisp, carrying a slight chill. She took a deep breath, filling her with the fresh air, hoping it would help her leave all her troubles behind.

The busy day passed quickly, and as the sunset cast its glow on the office windowsill, Yvonne was preparing to pack up and leave.

Just then, Paul, the head of the trading company, hurried in, bringing new trouble.

“When you came back last time, the channel distributor said there were problems with goods we supplied. You told me to ignore her, so I did. But Zoe has arrived,” Paul said, sounding a bit helpless.

Yvonne rubbed her temples, feeling displeased with Zoe’s behavior.

The issue was simple. The Taylor Group’s industrial park had a trading company responsible for import–export business, also managing a professional and extensive mi category product supply chain.

Zoe, a channel distributor for strategic partner Daniel, had privately printed Daniel’s branded packaging to distribute goods.

Due to their personal connection and mutual interests, Daniel didn’t want to escalate th issue and sought Yvonne’s help to resolve it.

Zoe was clearly in the wrong. If Daniel wanted to, he could easily take legal action.

However, Zoe, unable to vent her anger, claimed there were problems with the supplie goods and now directly sought Yvonne for an explanation.

“I don’t have time; you handle it,” Yvonne responded coldly.

“Anthony made the connection,” Paul added.

Anthony was a veteran in the trading circle. Though he missed the opportunity with e- commerce and group buying, his reputation still carried weight.

Considering this, Yvonne decided to follow Paul to meet Zoe.

Upon seeing Yvonne, Zoe’s attitude immediately softened. “Yvonne, finally, I’ve been waiting for you. Since you left Taylor Group, Paul hasn’t been sending me my goods,” Zoe said, sounding pleading

“You said it yourself, I’ve been reassigned. Now the industrial park listens to Paul,” Yvonne responded coolly.

Zoe eagerly poured Vene a coffee was cofficed and came to apologize ”

Yvonne didn’t take the coffee making the situation a bit awkward

Anthony broke the silence with a smile. Yvonne Zoe came all this way Please, fit sake of future cooperation”

Yvonne considered it for a moment, acknowlegging Anthony’s standing and the p for future collaboration She finally accepted the coffee and took a email sip
