Chapter 475
“What’s the matter?” Benjamin asked with a laugh. “Does Mr. Dawson enforce strict rules at home? You’re not allowed to go?”
“Are you joking?” Eileen quickly responded. “It’s not that. I just don’t like those places. But never mind; I’ll go tonight.”
“Alright, we’ll go together,” Benjamin agreed, tactfully avoiding questioning her reasons.
Later that evening, Eileen fibbed about needing to work late and then headed to the KTV with Benjamin.
“Go ahead and check inside. I’ll wait out here,” Eileen instructed Benjamin. Given the size of the KTV, they decided to split up to cover more ground.
Benjamin exited the car and went into the KTV, while Eileen stayed behind. After sitting in the car for about ten minutes, she began to feel stifled. She stepped out and peered between two parked cars.
“She’s not here yet,” Benjamin emerged from the KTV and announced. “It’s still early; Lydia hasn’t arrived. But even if she does, what’s your plan? Take some photos and threaten her to exchange evidence?”
It wasn’t an impossible idea, but it was unlikely to succeed.
“What if Lydia is meeting someone specific here?” Eileen wondered aloud, turning to Benjamin. “If it’s really her, we could have someone gain her trust, follow her home, and then get the evidence.”
Benjamin raised an eyebrow. “What are you thinking? Lydia bringing a man home? Does she have a death wish?”
The plan seemed unfeasible, but Eileen and Benjamin knew they had to try something.
Suddenly, a familiar scent of cologne wafted towards Eileen. Before she could place it, Christos appeared in front of her.
“Eileen, are you here for some fun?” Christos asked.
Benjamin glanced at Eileen, puzzled, wondering when she had become acquainted with such a handsome young man.
Eileen noticed that Christos was wearing colored contacts, altering his eye color. Yet, his mixed-race features were unmistakable to anyone who looked closely.
“Well… I’m actually here looking for someone,” Eileen replied with a smile.
“Is this guy your boyfriend?” Christos asked, eyeing Benjamin curiously.
Benjamin remained silent.
Seeing the complex expression on Benjamin’s face, Eileen couldn’t help but feel a bit amused. Christos certainly stood out here. Eileen worried that if Lydia arrived and saw him, it might raise some suspicions.
To avoid any potential trouble, Eileen suggested they head to a nearby coffee shop, taking Christos along with them.
