Han Luo's question startled Joseph. After a moment, he smiled in admiration and answered her, "As you suspected, it's not that. Along with you, we want Young Master Mo to work on this project."
Finally, it sparked Han Luo's interest. She straightened her body and stated, "Why don't you tell me more about the project?"
After having lunch and talking about the new commercial the two of them headed out.
Mo Yuan's family car was waiting for her in the parking lot. The one who was standing right beside the car was none other than Benjamin. He was wearing a red blue printed shirt and black pants.
Seeing Han Luo, he smiled and stepped forward but halted seeing the man beside her.
The man beside Han Luo also halted on his track seeing Benjamin.
"Ben!" Joseph exclaimed.
Han Luo looked at them curiously. The least she expected them to be acquaintances.
Benjamin overcame his astonishment and composed himself. He stated in a cold tone, "I'm sorry, you got the wrong person."
"!!!" Han Luo was bewildered by watching his behavior. It was the first time she saw Benjamin acting like that.
In her eyes, Benjamin was a jolly person who was easy to get along with. He was a hard working person and while working, he never missed a chance to joke around.
He was an open minded person who joked around and teased Mo Yuan who was his junior employer. He deeply cared for children.
He was a serious employee, a smart and talented person, and a sucker for women when he was drunk.
That's the way Benjamin was in front of Han Luo up until now.
To watch him talking to someone so coldly, something must have happened that she wasn't aware of – that's what Han Luo's thought.
It seemed that Joseph was confounded by Benjamin's behavior as well. He said, "No, I cannot be wrong about this. Ben, we were friends for years. After the accident, you suddenly vanished and I wasn't able to contact you again. Did you know how much your family was worried about you? What are you doing throwing away your family, your future, and your career like that?"
Benjamin sneered and told him, "Mister, I don't know you. This is the first time I've seen you. Could you please stop bothering me?"
He glanced at confused Han Luo and asked her gently, "Miss Han, I'm here to take you home."
"Oh, thank you. I was waiting for you to pick me up. Let's go," Han Luo properly replied to him and avoided uttering his name.
She gazed at Joseph and stated, "I'll try talking to big brother Yuan about this but I cannot guarantee anything. Please give me three days."
"Y-yes, please take your time. I'll call you after three days," Joseph told her. He quickly composed himself realizing that he was with his client.
After Benjamin drove away, Joseph dialed a number. The call was picked up by someone. Joseph said, "Hello, this is Joseph. I've found Ben. He is in London. It looks like…"
On the way, Han Luo was fidgeting to ask Benjamin several questions. While sitting in the passenger seat, she stole glances from time to time. However, she was afraid that he would be cold to her just like he was with Joseph.
The car was completely silent. Even the music player was turned off. It felt weird and suffocating.
Benjamin noticed her odd behavior. He smirked and asked, "Did I scare Miss Han?"
"Not at all," Han Luo got the opportunity to talk and spoke up. "However, I'm curious to know if you really know Joseph or not. Did you guys have some kind of bad blood or anything?"
While driving Benjamin replied, "I would love to talk about it, Missy; but the last thing I want to talk about is my past. Can we drop this matter?"
"Sure," Han Luo was dejected. She wished she could talk about it and quench her thirst for curiosity.
Benjamin took her to Mo Yuan's house.
"Luo'er, my pretty child," Ma Rui hugged her as soon as she entered the house.
"Mom, when did you arrive?" Han Luo's mood brightened up after seeing Ma Rui.
"I've come back on today's flight. It was a hectic month. I'm planning to relax for the next few days. You are free for now, aren't you Luo'er? Why don't the two of us go to Miami Beach? I'm sure you will like it," Ma Rui suggested.
Han Luo's eyes sparkled. "It's a tempting offer, mom. Let me check my schedule first." She saw Ma Rui's dress up and added, "By the way, I wanted to talk to you about something but you are wearing an apron. Are you busy in the kitchen?"
"Oh no, I'm making your favorite cherry pie. It's in the oven. Let's go to the living room and talk about it," Ma Rui said.
Afterward, Ma Rui and Han Luo went to the living room and sat on the couch.
Han Luo told her everything and Ma Rui placed a hand on her cheek. "So, you are saying that you want to do this commercial. Why did you suddenly have an interest in this? I thought you liked photo shooting."
Han Luo shared her worries, "Yes but I can earn more money by doing commercials. After I turn sixteen, it will be hard for me to keep up with study, dancing, and modeling. I won't have the chance to earn as much money as I can earn now to pay back my uncle. That's why it would be better to be freed from the debt this year."
"Luo'er," Ma Rui placed a hand on Han Luo's hand and told her, "You are only fifteen. You don't have to think about money too hard. No one will say anything if you take your time. Your uncle loves you so much. He won't mind."
She suggested, "If you don't want it, why don't you take the money from me for now? You can slowly pay it off without any pressure."
