A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 642

The next day, Hestia arrived at Duval Group on time and checked herself in.

Benji was on the brink of weeping when he saw Hesper. He had been working overtime last night to get

her office ready, so he would have cried out loud if Hesper didn't come in that day.

Thinking of the "Ms. Lane" that he knew from before, Benji could not help but lament that Hesper was

very kind back then, as the current version of her was the ultimate devilish side of her.

"Mr. Lynch, you don’t seem very happy to see me." Hestia smiled at Benji and curled the corners of her

lips upward. "Is Mr. Duval here? I want to see the detailed proposal for the future plans... This wouldn’t

be too hasty, would it?"

As soon as Benji heard Hestia bring up the proposal, he began to admire Rickard’s ingenuity. As soon

as Hestia left yesterday, Rickard immediately held an emergency meeting to finalize the details of the

proposal in advance. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Seeing Benji’s expression, Hestia instantly knew that she would not be able to find anything wrong with

the proposal, so she waved her hand with a lack of interest. "Forget it. I don’t want to read it. Bring me

to my office now."

"Okay, Ms. Deschamps." Benji welcomed Hestia into the office with a smile.

The employees around them gazed at Hesper while working on their own tasks attentively. But in fact,

the gossipy alter ego in them was already on the verge of exploding.

Hesper had disappeared from Genecity for a long time; some claimed that Hesper died in an accident,

while others claimed that she had broken up with Rickard and would never come back again. No one

had ever expected that she would be back in only half a year.

Hestia followed Benji around the company to observe the internal operations of the entire Duval Group

and found that she was still a little unfamiliar with the Duvals. Apart from the route that led her to

Rickard’s office, the other areas of the company seemed very strange to her.

"Did I work in Duval Group before?"

"How would I have dared to ask you to work?" Benji answered bitterly. "It’s just that when Mr. Duval

was ill, you temporarily acted as the president of Duval Group. Does this remind you of something in

the past?"

"No."

Hestia walked by Benji indifferently, went directly into the office, and nodded with satisfaction when she

saw the interior design. "Alright, sorry to have troubled you, Mr. Lynch... I believe that we’ll have a great

working relationship in the future."

Benji was at a loss for words.

He vaguely remembered that when he first heard this sentence from Hesper back then, she instantly

launched a series of fierce attacks against the Duval Group, which shook the company’s position in

Genecity.

‘She had this same smirk on her when she said so back then.’

With a chill jolting up his spine, Benji decided to leave the current version of Hesper as soon as he

possibly could. "Then I’ll get back to work for now, and if you are in need of anything, you can always

tell me."

"So, is that it?" Hestia smirked, and Benji instantly regretted what he just said, but he was lucky that

she did not say anything else, and let him leave.

Rickard was standing at the door of the office, so as soon as Benji came out of the room, he

immediately ran into his boss, and he wondered what the man was thinking.

"Did she ask about the proposal?"

Benji nodded. "She did, but she didn’t want to go through it anymore all of a sudden. Perhaps she

guessed that you’d gotten it ready."

It felt like Rickard was doing all this just to entertain the love of his life. However, it seemed that Hestia

and Hesper had completely different personalities, so Benji was a little worried.

No matter how unfeeling Hesper was toward Rickard in the past, Benji never thought that she would do

something to hurt Rickard, but Hestia was different.

‘She looks rather… wicked’

Unexpectedly, Hestia was very quiet all morning. She did not make any excessive demands, and she

did not go to Rickard. Instead, she stayed in her office all the time, but because she had put all the

curtains down, everyone outside had no way to know what the person in the office was doing.
