Chapter 289 – Getting a good deal
Abbott Benson hooked his lips: “The stuff was found from you, did I force you to make this bet with me?”
Cecilia Glendon now finally understood what it was like to be unable to defend herself, she took several deep breaths to calm herself down.
In the presence of Abbott Benson, no amount of care is enough for her, because he always has a way to make her jump into that pit.
“You had this scene today in mind when you put the bank card in my wallet, didn’t you?” Cecilia Glendon’s tone was a little cold, “That’s really hard for you.” At the end of the sentence, there was some mockery in her voice.
When she got her bag in Abbott Benson’s office she didn’t bother to check it because she didn’t think Abbott Benson was interested in her stuff, after all, everything she had Abbott Benson had too.
But who knew that he was simply playing a different idea.
Abbott Benson said, “Thank you. But you can go back and get my clothes ready now.”
Cecilia Glendon once again gritted her teeth, she had counted her to this extent, and still wanted her to help him make clothes?
“Find someone else for your clothes.” She got up from the sofa, while still putting Abbott Benson that Taylor bank card on the table, “The road is different, I will not help you make clothes.”
Abbott Benson raised an eyebrow: “You’ve just asked me what I want, and now you regret it… What, you want to pay me a breach of contract?”
“Where’s the breach of contract when the contract hasn’t even been signed?!” Cecilia Glendon said angrily.
“Who says we didn’t sign a contract.” Abbott Benson had a smile in his eyes.
Cecilia Glendon was momentarily stunned, and her mind quickly drifted back to Assistant Gary, who had left earlier.
If Assistant Gary had gone ahead and signed the contract first, then she would really be in breach of contract if she refused again.
“Vile!” Those two words practically popped out from between Cecilia Glendon’s teeth.
“I have things to do, so go away.” Abbott Benson waved his hand and said very casually.
Cecilia Glendon didn’t want to stay here without him, she took her things and turned around and left.
It wasn’t until she got out of the hotel that she felt some of the anger inside her disappear.
She turned around and gave the hotel a hard stare, hating the thought that she had just been set up by Abbott Benson in the room.
This Abbott Benson how the ghosts can not leave, but also chased to August City!
As much as Cecilia Glendon hates to admit that Abbott Benson came to August City because of her, it would be too much of a coincidence if he didn’t.
Cecilia Glendon went back to the studio in exasperation and she entered Jane Xue’s office: “Did that Mr. Tan already sign the contract?”
“Yeah.” Jane Xue laughed, “That gentleman is a big spender.”
“It can be anything but expansive.” Cecilia Glendon said through clenched teeth.
“What’s wrong with you, why don’t you look too happy?” Jane Xue asked curiously.
“It’s okay.” Cecilia Glendon shook her head, “I’ll go ahead and get busy.”
“Go ahead.”
Cecilia Glendon went back to her office and already there she saw Steven Glendon sitting in his chair playing with his computer.
“Mom, you’re back.” Steven Glendon looked up at her.
“Hmm.” The sight of her son made Cecilia Glendon feel a little better, “What’s up?”
“Nothing, just looking around.” Steven Glendon smiled and got out of his chair, “Mom, are you in a bad mood?”
“No.” Cecilia Glendon forced a smile.
Steven Glendon looked at her with a touch of seriousness on his small face, “Is it because he’s going to be in August City, Mom?”
Hearing this, Cecilia Glendon froze: “Who are you talking about?”
Without answering, Steven Glendon pulled Cecilia Glendon directly to the computer and clicked out the news he was watching earlier, “This.”
Cecilia Glendon narrowed her eyes and looked closely at the news.
On some financial news Cecilia Glendon doesn’t pay much attention, but this news says that Duke Hotel has opened a chain in August City and will open in the next day.
Seeing this, Cecilia Glendon suddenly remembered what Moses Walker had to say to her in Greenwich.
She pulled out her cell phone and dialed Moses Walker’s number.
“Hello?” Moses Walker picked up, “Why do you have time to call me?” There was a note of mischief in his tone.
“Let me ask you, is it true what they say on the news that Abbott Benson is really coming to August City?” Cecilia Glendon cut right to the chase.
“Of course, is that even a lie?” Moses Walker replied, “I wanted to tell you about it last time, but Jamie Hall interrupted and forgot.”
“Why did he come to August City?” said Cecilia Glendon with some annoyance.
“You still don’t know why he’s going, do you?” Moses Walker teased, “It’s not for you.”
“Fuck off.” Cecilia Glendon was now in a panic of annoyance.
“Don’t be so grumpy, it looks like you two have met.”
The mention of this Cecilia Glendon is angry, not only met, she is now almost by Abbott Benson angry, the thought that she was somehow he set a way and agreed to his a request, Cecilia Glendon want to slap themselves.
How come it is not stabilized?
“I’m not talking to you anymore, I’m busy over here.” Moses Walker, now sitting alone at Greenwich headquarters, was busy as hell, and hung up after a brief word with Cecilia Glendon.
“Mom doesn’t want to see him?” Steven Glendon asked softly when he saw the expression on Cecilia Glendon’s face.
“I was worried about you.”
Cecilia Glendon put down her phone and said to Steven Glendon with some concern, “This is not going to be just like that.”
Abbott Benson came to August City, will inevitably also be involved in those previous things to August City.
Benson Sr. and Jamie Hall …
Cecilia Glendon is to avoid these people to not go back, which know now back to the old days.
“It’s going to be okay.” Steven Glendon gently hold Cecilia Glendon’s hand, small hands but very strong, a steady grip on Cecilia Glendon, invisible surprisingly let her heart a few points of stability.
“Maybe I shouldn’t have come back in the first place.” Cecilia Glendon sighed and her tone softened a bit, “Staying in Milan would have prevented so much from happening.”
“It’s going to happen again.” Steven Glendon, however, said, “It’s just going to happen a little later.”
Cecilia Glendon couldn’t help but laugh: “Who did you learn that old-fashioned tone from, you don’t sound like a child at all.”
“I’m not a kid anymore.” Steven Glendon pouted, his mouth saying he was not a child, but his face was as arrogant as a child’s.
“Don’t worry.” Cecilia Glendon shook Steven Glendon’s shoulder with a sudden strength like, “No matter what happens, I won’t let you leave my side.”
“I know.” Steven Glendon laughed.
Cecilia Glendon would not let go of him, and he would not let go of Cecilia Glendon’s hand.

After meeting Abbott Benson at the Sofitel that day, Cecilia Glendon was worried that he would find an excuse to see her later, but strangely enough, not a single phone call was made after that day.
Not even a single text message was ever seen.
Cecilia Glendon wondered if he had suddenly changed his sex.
Only this idea did not last a few days before it was dashed, she did not meet Abbott Benson, but met another person.
