Chapter 178
Jensen’s heart skipped a beat, but he feigned confusion. “Why would you ask that? I’m their driver, remember p>
Rebekah scrutinized his face. It was still impossibly handsome, his expression and
I gaze perfectly sincere. She decided she must be overthinking things. It was just that Jensen carried himself with an innate, aristocratic air, a quality not unlike Benjamin’s, but somehow even more pronounced. Whenever they were in the same room, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Jensen was more than he seemed. But her memories of their time abroad together always forced her to dismiss the thought.
“It’s nothing. You just don’t have the air of a driver p>
Jensen smiled. He leaned back in the armchair, draping a muscular forearm over the armrest. His alluring eyes crinkled at the corners, filled with mirth. “Oh? And what kind of air do I have?” His voice was a low, magnetic murmur.
Rebekah coughed, quickly changing the subject. “You haven’t eaten, have you? I made breakfast. You should have some.” She practically fled to the kitchen.
Jensen’s lips curved into a smile. *Adorable.* he thought.
After breakfast, they left for the medical center. Just as they arrived, Jensen’s phone rang. A glance at the caller ID made his relaxed expression tighten.
He turned to Rebekah. “You go on in and find Daphne. I’ll catch up in a minute p>
Assuming it was important, she nodded and went inside. She headed for the offices in the back but was stopped by a clerk.
“Hello, are you here for an appointment or to pick up a prescription p>
“I have an appointment with Daphne,” Rebekah said.
“Oh, but she’s already stepped out p>
Just as the clerk finished speaking, a mocking voice sounded from behind her. “Sister, if you’re going to lie, you should at least come up with
something believable Daphne
Rivers is the heir to one of the most renowned medical families in the
Capital. Even when you were a top surgeon, you wouldn’t have had the chance to meet her, would you p>
Rebekah turned to see Candice and Benjamin walking in. It hadn’t been long since Benjamin had left her apartment, and here he was, out with Candice. He was certainly a master of time management.
They approached her, Candice clinging to Benjamin’s arm and leaning most of her weight against him. They looked a picture of intimacy.
Noticing Rebekah’s stare, Candice offered an explanation. “Sister, don’t get the wrong idea. It’s just that you caused my ankle to get twisted again@esterday. With a new injury on top of the old one, I had to get it looked at. As a principal dancer, my feet are my entire career
She continued, her voice dripping with false sweetness. “Daphne is the best doctor in the city. It’s a good thing Benjamin was able to get me an appointment. I’m just surprised to see you here. You didn’t follow Benjamin, did you p>
The implication was clear: an appointment with Daphne was a rare privilege secured by Benjamin, one Rebekah could never obtain on her own. Therefore, she must have chased him here to apologize.
The thought appealed to Benjamin. He remembered how Rebekah and that pretty boy had ganged up on him at the apartment. It was

and had come to make amends, fle sniffed, tilting his head back with an air of superiority.
Rebekah thought Candice was delusional. “How narcissistic p>
