"Do I know you?" Standing in the middle of the office noise, Tina asks Ben a question that has been bothering her ever since seeing Ben's photo.
"I don't think so." Ben showed a plain expression. "I smeared your briquette with butter."
...
He was sure he would never know. Not only was he disguised, but even something experienced a growth spurt! 'If the sheath does not fit, you must free!'
...
He narrowed his eyes. 'I'm not sure what but something about this kid bothers me...'
Although nervous due to this unexpected confrontation, another matter immediately caught the attention of Ben—!
[Challenge conditions met]
[Special Challenges begin]
[Special Challenge: Bety-Thief Steals a woman from another man, ending their relationship. Target: Tina Baldwin]
[Reward: Medium Level Stat Growth Multiplier (Consumption, Rare, Random) x1
[Punishment: There is no]
'It seems knowing his identity causes this to open up.' Ben glanced at Tina and pondered whether deciding marriage was morally right... Then she saw something Tina and remembered Paul was ad*ck. 'The machine is ready to fly, chief!'
There's no problem! He'll make sure it's verbally correct and add an M later!
...
With the aim of conquering the globe...Ben checked the status of the system.
[Current target attraction level: indifferent (+2 bonus whore)]
[Current target comfort level: stranger (+2 bonus whore)]
The levels were much lower than when they first met, but there were still some positive aspects. First, its comfort level remains visible even though its attractiveness is declining. Second: 'Once a whore, keep a whore...' Bonuses are like big aura fans! Along with the large cup, both auras improved morale and the chance of hitting any man nearby!
...
Ben was convinced of this judgment because in his memory, the cup was truly a friend...
However, Tina frowned. He thinks he's talented at pulling things off a man's head.
...
So he couldn't understand why he hadn't managed to get more information from Ben, not knowing his talent was already draining his energy...
It was a pity for him, but it was a double-entendre situation from crazy but he was still sucking.
...
"Sad..." Seeing Ben's pure and honest expression, Tina turned around and walked into Paul's office to talk to him, having seen him go inside before he approached Ben.
As she walked in and closed the door behind her, she saw Paul on the phone of the office house. "Him? I see. I will definitely tell him. Yes, of course, it's natural. Thanks for the phone." When she put down the phone, her expression became ugly because the caller was the digital editor of Male's Health magazine! He called Paul to praise Ben! Many compliments:
"A very inspiring young man!"
"What a promising writer and athlete!"
"You have the sharp vision to hire such a talented intern!"
That was a shining review! They glowed so brightly that Paul felt as if each left a glowing red fingerprint on his face!
...
"How did this happen?!" She asks Laura to get rid of Ben, so how does she get the main features on the main magazine website?!?" Confused by this news, Paul's frown threatened to extend his face... "Tina, call Laura inside... "
His wife was unaware of the matter, but feeling his uneasiness, she did as she was told.
Moments later, Laura stood in front of Paul's desk, tense from Paul's gaze, as Tina watched from behind him. Paul pointed to his phone. "I just received a call from Men's Health, about Benjamin Romero... Tell me what happened."
Lowering his head, Laura explains the matter with Owen, explaining that he tried to do what Paul asked, but he forgot that Jacob would be there to support Ben.
"Your mind slipped..." Paul's knuckles tapped on his desk louder and louder, until the explosion echoed throughout the office! "IF YOU CAN'T EVEN HANDLE A SMALL TASK LIKE THIS! THEN WHAT GOOD ARE YOU?!?"
Staring at the ground, Laura's body trembled as her face paled...
Meanwhile, seeing all this, Tina started to feel bad, as the situation all started from her request. Although not close to Laura for being married to Paul when Laura was an adult, it does not mean that she does not sympathize with the hardworking girl. "Darling, I shouldn't have asked for such a thing before. Let's just forget it."
"Shut up!" Paul's eyes turned red as he turned to Tina. "Forget over? You all made me stupid!"
The explosion was so loud that by chance, Ben accidentally heard it from outside the office.
Even some of the company slaves who passed by turned to Paul's door, wondering why Ben's ears were stuck on the door.
...
As Paul continues to shout, Ben stays at the door, still listening by chance.but even though he finds joy in the villain's anger, what Ben hears next also angers him; It was the sound of Laura's crying...
Almost instinctively, Ben opened the door and barged in.
Seeing this, Paul's face became ice-cold as he spoke through gnashing of teeth. "What do you think you're doing?"
But Ben ignored her and raised his own voice. "How could you be so rude to your own daughter?!? Do you know he works harder than anyone here?!?"
Now, Ben learns from other staff about the family relationship between Paul and him, as well as about Laura's famous work ethic. Although they are on opposite sides, Ben admires such dedication, knowing how difficult it is.
...
...
While pointing at Paul, Ben directs Greta Thunberg. "How dare you?!"
...
This bastard destroyed his beautiful office environment! Just one day there...
"How dare you yell at him? Not only did he not deserve it, but also the plot was good!" He looked at Laura and convinced her. "The plot is good, Laura!"
...
Seeing Ben defending her made everyone in the room speechless... They all thought the same thing. 'Hey buddy, you realize he's trying to get you fired, right?'
Even Laura considered herself a third person!
...
That was so shocking!
Of course Ben knows! But so what? That's that and this is that. Even if they were to come into conflict earlier, it would not stop him from defending what he believed to be true! Sure, he tried to plan it, but it was the past, and in the future, he planned to have a wrestling relationship with her.
...
However, Ben is not only shallow. The biggest reason she spoke for Laura, was that if she was fired or sent to work elsewhere, she would feel bad! Because how is he going to do his oyakodon?
...
She just found out Tina and Laura are in a relationship! And they're together now! He could tolerate many things, but he would never accept a happy family farewell!
...
It is true that he is facing Paul, his boss, openly. However, even though he knew Paul wanted to fire him, he was not afraid! 'By the way, if Paul could fire me, he would have done it. He didn't need to send Laura through all that trouble.'
At that moment, instead of being angry, Paul smiled. "Thank you for giving me a reason. Since you barged into the manager's office, that's reason enough to send you away ..."
Hearing this, Ben's face died. 'I was wrong...'
...
'This is weird, am I not the protagonist?' He doesn't understand how this could happen. Why didn't everything go perfectly for him regardless of his decision?
Understanding Ben's fate is a dismissal from the company, Laura looks at him with a complicated expression. 'He spoke for me even though I was against him at every turn ...' Guilt grew in his heart ...
Even Tina inevitably changed her mind after seeing Ben defend her stepdaughter. 'Maybe this kid isn't so bad. but now that he's upset Paul, there's no turning back.' He sighed...
As for Paul, he locked eyes with Ben, and sneered, feeling a sensation inside. The next moment, he will do the activity that he thinks is the most fun as a manager. While chuckling, he pointed at Ben. "You... fi—"
Just then, in the middle of his sentence, the house phone rang. Although he planned to ignore it, when Paul saw the identity on the caller ID, his eyes bulged! He ignored everything in the room and rushed to pick it up!
"Hello? ...Wh who? Yeah.he works here..." Paul looked at Ben strangely. "He did it?!?Are you sure it's the right person?" He gasps...
After that, there was a long silence.when Paul put the phone to his ear.although everyone can hear the dialing tone of the caller on the other end after hanging up the phone!
Then, Paul chuckled as he spoke on the phone. "Yes, thank you! I will continue to do my best! Goodbye bye!"
...
Everyone in Paul's office squinted as he looked at her. 'Guys, we heard it... We know you're talking to yourself.'
...
However, Paul ignores them, and looks back at Ben's eyes. "As I said, you're finally promoted!"
...
"Huh?" Everyone in the room let out the same sound as they stared at Paul, unsure if they heard correctly.
Paul smiled. "As I said, thank you for giving me a reason ... to deliver this great news yourself!"
...
Ben had to hold back from falling from the slapstick earthquake!
Then Paul continued. "Since you barged into the manager's office, it was reason enough to send you away ... personally! Good luck on top!"
...
'That's not what you say!' Everyone there doesn't believe it! But Paul ignored their grimacing faces and chuckled as he got up from his seat and approached Ben, shaking his hand in spirit!
Ben blinked, filled with confusion. He already understood that he was somehow promoted, but what was with Paul's reaction? 'What's going on here? I just want to pass on a few facelaps. Was he so wary from the last time, that he decided to pretend to be dead?'
...
Ben thinks maybe Paul has been watching Grizzly man recently...
Laura and Tina also did not understand. They knew better than anyone how impossible it was for Paul to treat an intern with such respect. Witnessing these 180 complete stances, their jaws fell to the ground!
Not only them, too. Outside the door, a passing janitor who heard everything also had a jaw hanging!
It seemed like fate was taking him there because there wasn't enough face slap reactions!
Then keep him around for a shameless reaction!
...
Immediately, he looked at the mop and shook his head. 'Why am I watching this? This crazy guy is not my problem. Le's go! Clean clean clean clean.'
