Chapter 1264: Chapter 1264: Thinking of You Every Day for the Past 100 Days (1)

After the sound of knocking, the room seemed very quiet, unsure if Watt Bennet was inside.

Summer Sutton listened for a while to the sounds within, and her heart sank again.

Could he really be standing her up?

The room remained quiet for three or four minutes, and then the door was suddenly pulled open.

Watt Bennet stood inside, staring at her fixedly, with no expression visible due to the mask.

Summer Sutton raised her face, their eyes met, she hadn’t expected the door to open so suddenly, leaving her a bit dumbfounded.

Watt Bennet didn’t let her in either, standing in the doorway, his gaze slightly lowered as he stared at her.

His gaze was slow, sweeping over Summer Sutton’s face inch by inch, looking at her over and over as if trying to study her inside out.

This made it hard for Summer Sutton to guess his thoughts.

The two of them, one inside the room and one outside, stood in a stalemate for a while, until Summer Sutton broke the silence.

"Mr. Bennet, the company sent me. I’m the only one who speaks Chinese, and I’m responsible for this interview."

Her words were particularly formal, both in her address to Watt Bennet and the reason for her visit.

Afraid Watt Bennet might misunderstand her purpose, she deliberately explained that she came because she was the only one from the company who shared a language with him.

With the mask on Watt Bennet’s face, Summer Sutton couldn’t discern his expression, but she vaguely felt that the atmosphere between them was somewhat cold.

However, Summer Sutton wasn’t sure if this coldness was due to her words or her visit.

Watt Bennet didn’t invite her in, and she couldn’t enter on her own initiative, so she stood outside waiting for his consent.

Watt Bennet squinted his eyes, silently scrutinizing her for a while, and then in an extremely cold tone, slowly spat out, "If the company had other staff who spoke this language, you weren’t planning on coming today?"

Summer Sutton looked at him dumbfounded, seemingly taken aback by how accurately he grasped the point.

The answer to this question was obvious; she was here only for business matters.

Watt Bennet gave her a cold glance, seemingly let out a slight sneer, and then turned to go inside.

"Come in!"

With permission granted, Summer Sutton immediately followed him in.

After entering, Watt Bennet turned his back to her and started making a call.

Summer Sutton assumed his call would only last a few minutes, patiently standing by and waiting.

But who knew, five minutes passed and Watt Bennet was still on the call.

He was discussing company matters, and Summer Sutton felt awkward interrupting him, so she patiently continued to wait.

Ten minutes went by, and Watt Bennet’s call still wasn’t over.

Summer Sutton really wanted to remind him, but was afraid of interfering with his business, so she had no choice but to continue waiting.

So she waited for another half hour, and Watt Bennet still showed no sign of ending the call.

Summer Sutton had nearly waited for an hour, growing a bit anxious.

Attempting, she called out to him, "Mr. Bennet..."

Watt Bennet seemed not to hear her, continuing to stand on the balcony, engrossed in his call.

Summer Sutton was left with no choice but to keep waiting.

She thought, with Watt Bennet on the call for almost an hour, it shouldn’t be long before it ended, right?

Just a few more minutes would suffice.

Yet to Summer Sutton’s surprise, she ended up waiting for another full two hours.

Watt Bennet’s calls weren’t a single one; after discussing one business matter, he switched to another, with one business call after another coming non-stop since Summer Sutton arrived.
