Chapter 360: Sinell Benjamin’s Presence
Hayley’s POV:
Gloria replied to me with a smile. “The alpha is in his study. The house…” She trailed off.
Grunting in surprise, I decided not to disturb him. I had his assistant deliver today’s work to the study.
I walked straight to the dining room and sat down. It wasn’t long before the house staff brought in afternoon tea; everything was exactly as I liked it.
“Ms. Hayley, please take your time. Let us know if you need anything,” Gloria said.
“I will, thank you, Gloria.”
I enjoyed my afternoon tea, feeling incredibly happy. The feeling of being cared for was so nice.
After finishing, I exited the dining room. Just as I was about to head to the backyard, Hera urgently urged me to go to the living room. She had already picked up on Benjamin’s scent, knowing he was nearby.
I hurried over, and, sure enough, Benjamin was gracefully coming down the stairs. He smiled at me and asked, “When did you wake up? Why didn’t you come find me earlier?”
I playfully stuck my tongue out and explained, “I woke up a little while ago. I saw you were busy, so I didn’t want to bother you.”
Benjamin walked right up to me, gently ruffling my hair. “I need to step out for a while. I’ll be back tonight. You should stay home and rest. Don’t overwork yourself.”
I quickly responded, “You’re leaving? I was actually planning to go to Tanner’s studio. Could you give me a ride?”
Hearing that I was going out, Benjamin interrupted me. “You’ve only just had a few late nights. Your body won’t be able to handle it. I’ll let Tanner know I won’t be coming today.”
“Don’t,” I immediately refused. But I could see that Benjamin’s expression was turning a little frustrated. I couldn’t exactly tell him that I was actually an alpha, and staying up all night for a few days was no problem for me.
After thinking for a moment, I gently pulled on Benjamin’s arm and said softly, “The client is coming over to try on the wedding dress. If there are any issues, it’ll be easier for me to communicate directly and make adjustments. But if I don’t go, it might cause problems.”
Benjamin had no choice but to agree. “Just don’t overdo it. Come back as soon as you’re done.”
I was thrilled to hear him agree. “Thanks, I’ll go early and be back early.”
To my surprise, the next second, Benjamin pulled me into a hug, his hands around my waist. “So, you’re sending me off just like that?”
I pouted and asked, “What else do you want?”
Benjamin kissed me deeply for a moment and then said, “Alright, I still have time to take you. Pack your things, and I’ll wait for you outside.”
Freed, I quickly ran off, grabbed my bag from my room, and went downstairs. Benjamin drove me to Tanner’s studio.
I had just arrived when the client, Blaire Scott, showed up not long after. Blaire walked in, holding hands with her husband, Otto Scott. Tanner quickly greeted them. “Mr. and Mrs. Scott!”
Otto nodded slightly and asked, “Mr. Southwell, my wife’s wedding dress is ready, right?”
Tanner smiled and replied, “It’s ready. We’re just waiting for Mrs. Scott to try it on and see if it fits.”
As he spoke, Tanner introduced me. “This is Mrs. Scott’s wedding dress designer. If you have any thoughts, feel free to share them with her.”
I politely extended my hand and greeted them, “Hello, Mrs. Scott!”
Blaire looked at me with a puzzled expression and said, “I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before.”
Shocked, I was surprised and unsure of how to respond. After a moment, she shrugged and said, “Never mind, I can’t remember.”
“Well then, let’s get started. Please follow me to the fitting room,” I said, leading Blaire toward the changing room, where two assistants brought the wedding dress.
The moment Blaire saw the dress, her eyes lit up, and she couldn’t stop praising it. “Wow! This dress is beautiful!”
“Mrs. Scott, please try it on! It will look even more stunning on you,” I said, instructing the assistants to help her change into the dress.
Ten minutes later, Blaire emerged from the fitting room.
