C151 She Grabbed My Hand

Ben sat quietly in his office. Confusion filled his face. “How is that possible?” He had expected Mike to suffer. Expected him to react. Expected him to reveal weakness. Instead, Michael sounded completely indifferent.

A dark expression crossed Ben’s face. For a brief moment he even considered sending Mike a wedding invitation just to force him to attend and watch Samantha marry someone else.

He imagined seeing disappointment on Michael’s face. Imagined seeing regret. But after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.

There was still plenty of time before the wedding. He would think about it later. Soon his attention returned to work.

Lunch arrived faster than expected. As usual, I was so focused on my work when a familiar voice appeared outside the Cybersecurity Department. “Brother!”

Everyone instantly recognized the voice. Alicia Mooney. The office became strangely quiet. Several people secretly looked toward the entrance. Alicia stood there smiling brightly.

Today she wore a simple white blouse and dark skirt, yet she still attracted attention everywhere she went. I stood up. “Let’s go before your protector starts complaining.” Alicia laughed. “Good idea.” I followed her.

Then she did something nobody expected. Without warning, she grabbed my hand. The entire office froze. Even myself, I froze.

Before I could react, Alicia happily began pulling him toward the exit. “Hurry up!” “Chris is waiting.” I could only follow helplessly.
