Bennett frowned, looking displeased.
"Oh, sorry..."
Catalina quickly apologized, "Let me tie it for you!"
"...Hmm."
Bennett's sexy throat moved.
He let go of her hair.
The scent of her hair lingered in his palm.
Catalina casually tied her hair back with a headband and continued to bow down to feed him water.
Just as she finished feeding him water, Catalina put down the cup and heard Bennett ask, "Why did you come over?"
Catalina paused for a moment.
"If I remember correctly, you are now my future sister-in-law?"
Bennett's tone was cold, with a strong touch of sarcasm.
Catalina pretended indifference and said, "I was arranged to come here by Ralph. I had thought I was here to do interviews. I assumed Ralph had informed Darnell in advance, and they manipulated this whole thing directly in my company. Furthermore, I didn't know the situation until I came here."
Bennett's face instantly darkened.
In other words, if she had known about this situation early on, she wouldn't have come at all, he thought.
"You can leave now."
"Didn't you hear what Ralph said? Without his permission, I can't go anywhere."
After Catalina finished speaking, she added, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Have some rest. Ring the bell if you need anything."
She turned around, ready to leave.
Unexpectedly, her hand was suddenly grabbed by a cold and large hand.
Catalina was startled.
She turned to look at the man on the bed.
Bennett's hand was injured and he couldn't exert much force.
"Did I allow you to leave?"
He asked Catalina.
The grip tightened.
"Let my hand go first, the wound on your arm will rupture."
Seeing him exerting force, Catalina was frightened.
She quickly used her other hand to hold his hand and said, "Let go. Hurry-"
Only then did Bennett listen to her words and slowly release his grip.
The muscles on his arm also relaxed slowly.
Catalina breathed a sigh of relief.
She slowly put his hand back, "Can you express your thoughts directly? You are covered in injuries now, don't you feel it?" Catalina was a little angry.
Why was he acting like a child?
No wonder Ralph is so worried about taking care of him.
Bennett glanced at her and then at the wound on his shoulder, then closed his eyes.
His brows furrowed tightly into a knot. "Go to the dressing room and get me a tie."
"Huh?"
A tie?
Catalina frowned, "Why do you need a tie?"
She thought he couldn't flatter himself so much that he had to wear a tie, even when he was injured and lying in a bed.
With his eyes closed, Bennett explained impatiently, "To blindfold myself."
Ah.
Catalina suddenly understood.
She just remembered that he was afraid of blood.
"Are you feeling dizzy now? Close your eyes first, don't open them, and I'll get it right away."
Catalina hurriedly went to the dressing room.
With a "whoosh," she pushed open the wardrobe door.
In the huge tie area, dozens of ties were lying there.
But Catalina found the one, she gave him at a glance.
Because that tie was placed in the most conspicuous place.
As soon as the door opened, she saw it.
That was the one.
Catalina thought it must be the cheapest.
When she blindfolds him later, she needs to tie knots, and it's easy for the tie to become wrinkled and deformed. The other ties are too expensive, it would be a waste if they got deformed. After selecting it, Catalina quickly returned to the bedside.
"Let me tie it for you. Don't move your head too much and just follow my force."
"Hmm."
Bennett responded.
When Catalina put the tie close to his eyes, Bennett suddenly stopped her, "Wait."
"?"
Catalina stepped back and looked at Bennett with confusion.
Bennett opened his eyes.
Looking at the tie in Catalina's hand, an expression of anger flashed in his eyes, "Go get a different one."
"Why?"
Catalina looked at the tie and tried to persuade him, "I've searched. The one I gave you is the most ordinary. Although it's not cheap, compared to the others you have, it's the cheapest. It might get deformed after I use it. So this is the best choice."
"Change it."
Bennett's face turned colder.
Catalina pouted but didn't move.
"I think it feels rough on my face. Alright?" he said coldly.
A tie cost 2,1000 dollars, and yet he found it rough on his face.
Indeed.
The rich are truly different.
Catalina hadn't even thought about that. She was only thinking about cheapness the whole time.
But what about him?
He only cared about enjoying the moment.
Fine.
He was the patient.
Besides, all these ties were his, so he should have the final say.
Catalina had no choice but to return to the dressing room.
She put the tie in her hand back where it was.
"Congratulations, you have escaped a disaster."
Not being favored by Mr. Shaffer, Catalina didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
But this was good.
She hoped for this.
After putting back the tie, Catalina carefully selected a smooth and delicate one and then returned to the bedside.
She asked Bennett, "Is this one okay? I touched it and it has the best texture among the ones inside."
Bennett: "......"
He didn't know what he should say.
She picked the most expensive one from inside for him.
It was worth millions.
But still better than the one she gave him.
Bennett closed his eyes.
He agreed with Catalina 's choice.
Only then did Catalina start to blindfold him, saying, "Don't move your head too violently just tilt it slightly."
"Don't be so naggy. I'm not that fragile."
"Even in this situation, you're still showing off. Come on, tilt a bit, slow down, even slower..."
Catalina carefully circled the tie from the back of his head, little by little, and then covered his eyes.
When the tie was put on, Bennett's eyes were still open, staring straight at Catalina.
Catalina paused, looking at him, and asked, "How is it? It should feel pretty good, right?"
"It's alright."
Catalina raised an eyebrow, "Then I'll tie it up."
"...Catalina."
Bennett suddenly called her.
"Yeah?"
Catalina looked at him in confusion.
"Why did you call me that day?"
""
Catalina didn't expect him to ask this question.
"I already told you last time."
Catalina spoke without waiting for his response, and proceeded to tie the tie, blocking his pair of eyes that seemed like a deep well from a thousand years ago.
Then, she secretly let out a long sigh, feeling as if she had survived a disaster.
Bennett frowned deeply, "Answer me."
"What do you want me to say? I already answered you last time, do you want me to repeat the answer for you?"
Catalina tied a neat bowtie on his head, "Alright, get some more sleep. Speak less when you're hurt, and call me if you need something. I'll leave now."
After finishing her words, Catalina turned and left Bennett's bedroom.
Bennett furrowed his brows.
He raised his arm and touched the knot on his head.
