Chapter 94 The Two in the Container Room

Chapter 94 The Two in the Container Room

After Darnell's reminder, Catalina finally noticed the lipstick mark on Bennett's lips,

It was undoubtedly left by Claire.

So, at least they had kissed in that room.

Catalina felt a dull pain in her heart.

It was hard to ignore the lipstick mark on his lips.

However, Bennett seemed unaware of it.

He frowned in disgust, pulled out a gray handkerchief from his pocket, wiped off the lipstick, and then

threw the expensive handkerchief directly into the trash.

He didn't even hesitate.

At this moment, Claire slowly walked out of the room, blushing with shyness.

The lipstick on her lips was smudged, and there was even a little of it on her chin.

She awkwardly wiped it off with a wet tissue and quickly sat back down next to Catalina.

Just by looking at the lipstick marks all over her mouth, one could guess just how passionate and

intimate they were back in the room.

How could her lipstick be smudged like this with just a light kiss?

"Lina, do you have a mirror on you?"

Claire asked as soon as she sat down.

Catalina happened to carry a small mirror in her purse.

She handed it over to Lina without saying a word.

"Thanks."

Claire said with a smile.

She held the small round mirror and carefully wiped her mouth with a wet tissue. She had a coy smile

on her face as she continued, "It's so embarrassing. Ben and I will probably make the headlines again

tomorrow if the media takes photos of us tonight. Darnell is always trying to tease us."

She was clearly complaining, but rather showing off.

Emery couldn't stand it anymore and sneered, "Some people get so carried away after they've taken

advantage of others!"

Catalina tugged at Emery's sleeve secretly, signaling her not to start a fight.

"Come on, let's draw the second round of cards and see who gets lucky this time."

Darnell started to deal the cards again.

This time, Bennett wasn't the first to draw but the last.

When she flipped over the card and saw she got a joker in her hand, her face turned red.

Emery was even more excited than her, feeling a sense of satisfaction because she had finally gotten

revenge. She grabbed Catalina's hand and exclaimed, "One joker is in Lina's hand! Who has got the

other one? Let me see who the lucky dog is to spend the night with her!"

"Gosh, Emery, don't shout!"

Catalina was so embarrassed that she wished she could just disappear.

"Who has drawn the other joker? Show your card to us quickly!"

Looking around, there was no response.

Even Catalina became curious.

She couldn't help but glance around at everyone. Finally, her gaze was fixed on Bennett's hand.

Everyone had already revealed their cards, except for Bennett, who was leaning on the table with one Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

arm crossed over his chest, holding a card in his hand.

He stared at Catalina intently.

Catalina caught her breath.

Then, she saw him casually toss the card in his hand onto the grass.

The card revealed was a red joker.

It perfectly paired with Catalina's card.

Catalina stared at his card and her mind went blank for a second.

It turned out to be her and him...

Was this too coincidental?

In a few seconds, Catalina couldn't think straight.

Her head was messy.

Beside her, Claire's face turned pale in an instant.

In contrast, Emery was overjoyed.

As expected, justice has finally been served!

She stood up, dragged the stunned Catalina who was still sitting on the grass, and said, "Hurry up! It's

time for you two to stay in that room together."

"Emery, don't be ridiculous."

"What's ridiculous about it! This is part of the game rules."

Emery retorted, dragging Catalina all the way to that small dark room.

Catalina wanted to escape, but as soon as she reached the door, a tall figure in black got in her way.

It was Bennett, who was holding the other joker card in his hand.

Catalina took two steps back in fear and looked up at him who was standing outside the door.

He stood against the light with one hand in his pocket. He seemed in no hurry to come in. Blank as his

face was, he was staring at her with a burning gaze.

Catalina felt as if she would be melted by his gaze at any moment.

She also felt like he could see through everything.

She was getting uncomfortable as he kept staring at her.

She nervously licked her lower lip and said, "Shall I go out and tell them to cancel this part?"

As she spoke, she tried to walk around him and leave.

But unexpectedly, Bennett stepped into the container room and grabbed her slender arm with one

hand, stopping her from leaving. With the other hand, he closed the door.

Suddenly, it was dark in the room.

She quickly freed herself from his hand, leaned against the wall, and moved back to the corner. Then

she sat down on a sofa stool.

In the darkness, her heart was beating wildly.

For there was no light, she could not see anything in the container room.

She couldn't know Bennett's direction, let alone what he was doing. All she knew for sure was that they

were in the same closed space.

Catalina felt so nervous that her breathing became unsteady.

Even in the silence, her irregular breathing sound could be heard.

This made her embarrassed.

She tried to calm herself down by taking deep breaths, but it was all in vain.

Her palms even began to sweat.

What about Bennett?

He remained calm and quiet, without making any moves.

Catalina guessed that he might be standing there with his hand in his pocket, leaning on the door,

listening to her unsteady breathing and mocking her in his heart!

The time was ticking away.

Sitting with her back against the wall, Catalina felt for the first time that ten minutes could be so long

and agonizingly slow.

She didn't say a word.

Bennett who was standing on the other side also showed no intention of speaking.

The two of them remained still and silent in the closed dark room for entire five minutes.

Finally, Catalina couldn't stand the silence and tentatively asked, "...When are you planning to marry

Claire?"

"What makes you inquire about our relationship?"

Bennett responded in a deep voice while he was standing less than 1.7 feet away from her.

Catalina had thought he was still standing at the door, but she didn't expect him to be so close to her.

But she couldn't see him at all.

She began to feel anxious.

Her heart was racing increasingly rapidly.

"I'm not prying. I'm just concerned about my friend. Is there anything wrong about...?"

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a soft touch brush against her nose.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Her chest heaved violently.

If she hadn't felt wrong just now...

The tip of her nose had brushed against Bennett's sexy, thin lips.

How close...

How close was he to her exactly?

Catalina was so flustered that she moved her head back half an inch, pressing her head against the

wall, her cheeks burning red.

She weakly uttered the final word of the sentence, "...it?"
