‘Edda? How does she know where I’m working?‘ Nydia wondered.
However, on second thought, she guessed it must be Bentley who had told her.
The door of Nydia’s office was made of glass. When she looked inside, Edda seemed to have sensed it too. She turned around and smiled at her with a bouquet in her hand.
Nydia retracted her gaze and pushed Alison to Lance. “Lance, bring Alison to complete the employment procedures. She’ll still be my assistant.”
Lance smiled kindly at Alison and said, “Please come with me.”
“Okay,” Alison replied.
Nydia opened the glass door and walked in.
Edda stood up and handed the flowers to Nydia with a pleasant smile. “I didn’t come that day. I’ll make up for it today. I hope it’s not too late. Nydia, congratulations on opening for business.”
Nydia took it and recalled the tragic situation that day. She could not help but frown and smile bitterly. “Thank you. It was right that you didn’t come.”
Edda was slightly surprised, but she quickly put on an understanding smile and sat back in her chair. “Have you caught the murderer?”
“We haven’t caught the mastermind yet.” Nydia asked her, “Do you want juice or coffee?”
“Water will be fine, thank you.”
Nydia poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Edda. Then, she sat dow to see me about today?”
“What do you want
She didn’t believe that Edda had taken the time out of her busy schedule only to congratulate her.
Upon hearing this, Edda said, “It’s my birthday today. I’ll hold a small gathering of good friends at Imperiacy Club tonight. I wonder if you’re free. I hope you can come.”
Nydia was slightly stunned. Their relationship didn’t seem to have reached the level of “good friends.”
Moreover, their social circles did not interact at all. She and Edda’s friends were like strangers. Being together

would only make things awkward.

“Happy birthday.” Nydia politely declined, “As for the gathering, thank you for the invitation, but I’ve been busy recently, so I’m afraid I can’t come. I’m sorry.”
As the two of them were talking, Bentley came in.
He was carrying two sets of breakfast.
When he saw Edda, he was stunned. “Why are you here?”
As he spoke, he placed the milk and bread before Nydia and instructed gently, “I just bought them. This kind of bread is quite yummy. Try it.”
His tone was so different that even Edda was a little jealous. She smiled and rebuked, “Bentley, you’re too much. I didn’t eat either. Why didn’t you ask me?”
Bentley turned to look at her. “You wake up at seven every morning to run. You’ve already eaten at this time. Don’t come and cause trouble. Now, tell me, what are you doing here?”
“I was going to hold a party at Imperiacy Club tonight. I wanted to invite Nydia, but she rejected me.” Edda sighed in disappointment. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation as she looked at Bentley. “Bentley, help me talk to her.”
The smell of freshly baked bread came, and Nydia was instantly tempted.
She recognized the logo on the kraft paper. It was an old brand that was famous far and wide in Creekheim. That store was always filled with people, and the bread was limited. However, it was in the old district, far from New District. She did not know how early he got up to buy it.
She took the bread and handed it to Bentley. “You should eat first.”
Bentley took the bread and brought it to her mouth. “Try it and see if it suits your tas
Nydia did not expect him to feed her suddenly. She could not help but freeze and feel very awkward.
At this moment, Edda’s words were heard. Bentley stopped what he was doing and turned to talk to his sister. Nydia took the opportunity to take the bread from his hand and stuffed it into her mouth.
“Isn’t there a family banquet at home tonight? As the main character, you can’t leave, right?” Bentley asked.
“Grandpa asked me to do it outside. He said that young people like us should play with young people. It’s boring to hang out with old people all day long,” Edda said.

Bentley was speechless. However, he doted on his sister, so he would never reject her birthday request.
Moreover, he also wanted Nydia to interact more with his family.
“You’ve been very busy recently and haven’t rested much. Tonight, treat it as going to relax. I’ll go with you.” Bentley’s eyes were so gentle and carried a careful anticipation that Nydia couldn’t refuse.
She was silent for a moment before finally agreeing. “Okay.”
Since she had promised to go, she had to prepare a birthday gift.
Nydia didn’t know what to buy. She planned to go to the mall first and buy some snacks from the supermarket to put in the company.
Other than being sleepy, she had been feeling hungry recently. It was the kind of hunger that she had to eat something no matter what when she was hungry.
Bentley was on leave and did not need to go to the hospital. So he went with her.
After buying the gifts, the two of them entered the supermarket on the lower floor.
Nydia stopped in her tracks when she saw the chocolate.
Bentley laughed and asked her, “Which one do you want to eat?”
“That one. It’s nama chocolate. I won’t gain weight after eating it,” Nydia said matter–of–factly.
“You’re not fat at all.” Bentley looked sincere.
“A man’s worst lie is that you’re not fat at all,” Nydia said with a smile.
“Nydia.” Bentley looked quite helpless.
“Cut the crap and get it for me,” Nydia urged.
All Bentley saw and cared about was Nydia. No matter what Nydia said or
