Chapter 647: Gentleman’s Demeanor


    Benjamin Johnson’s handsome face lifted into a soft, warm smile, his deep eyes staring at Olivia Jenkins with interest, “Haven’t you had dinner?”


    After finishing her soup, Olivia Jenkinsughed and said, “We had boxed meals at five o’clock, and we’ve been busy ever since. It’s almost midnight now, and we’re pretty worn out.”


    Looking at Olivia with concern, Benjamin Johnson then nced at Valerie Howard and Miss Winter, “You all look quite exhausted indeed. Amidst all the busyness, make sure to rest. Drink more of thismb soup, it’s nourishing.”


    While munching on grilledmb chops, Olivia said, “Benjamin, there’s no need to be so polite, just eat. It seems like it’s been quite a while since west saw each other, how have you been? I thought you went back to M-country for the holiday, spending time with family is important after all.”


    Benjamin raised an eyebrow slightly, his handsome face still adorned with a light smile. He stared at Olivia with a gaze full of warmth and consideration. “I don’t need to apany my family. My parents travel often ever since they retired. They’re just like a love-struck couple. My presence would be a third wheel, they can’t take the lovey-dovey stuff, and they wouldn’t bother about me either.”


    Just then, Olivia and the others allughed, envy for the passion and freedom Benjamin’s parents had for life evident in theirughter.


    Benjamin continued, “I’ve been good, busy with charity work, and life has been fulfilling. We indeed haven’t caught up since our time in Harmony Vige.


    Originally, I wanted toe to congratte you on the kickoff ceremony. But one of the kids I’m sponsoring fell sick, so I apanied her to the doctor and forgot toe by. Now, I hope ‘My Tsundere Husband’ has a smooth filming and bes a major hit!”


    Olivia picked up a drink and confidently dered, “Although this isn’t alcohol, let’s have a toast anyway. Here’s to everyone’s happiness and good fortune! And to ‘My Tsundere Husband’ bing a breakout hit, and making it into the top three of this year’s viewership figures.”


    Miss Winter chimed in, “We’ll definitely seed!”


    Valerie added, “I may be a rookie, but I’m giving it my all and I believe we’ll make it!”


    Looking around at her friends, Olivia gave a knowing smile.


    Even though her married life was in shambles, her passion for her career was as full as ever, showing no signs of ebbing.


    Although the busyness of work was tiring, Olivia was still happy, treating her first production as a producer as seriously as if she were raising a child.


    Deep down, Olivia held a firm belief that she would seed, and so would Quiet Video.


    …


    Valerie drove Miss Winter home first.


    Olivia tried to pay, but the proprietress only epted Benjamin’s money. “Even among friends, it’s the gentleman who pays. It’s a matter of manners,” she said.


    Benjamin replied solemnly, “Madam, you’re absolutely right. I will being here frequently from now on.”


    Thedy bossughed cheerfully, “I’ll be looking forward to that. I guarantee you, ourmb soup is delicious.”


    Benjamin nodded, a hint ofughter in his eyes, as he and Olivia exited the restaurant together.


    Before getting in the car, Benjamin had another little chat with Olivia, “Even though you’re smiling, I can’t shake the feeling that something’s bothering you. Has something bad happenedtely?”


    Olivia’s eyes sparkled as she titled her head slightly, pretending nothing was wrong. She smiled at Benjamin, “I’m doing good, just a little tired. Making TV shows isn’t easy, there’s a lot to think about.”


    Benjamin sighed softly, “You seem different from when I saw you in Harmony Vige. Whatever it is, don’t keep it all to yourself. You need to let it out, or keeping it inside will make you feel worse in the long run.”
