CHAPTER 62 Blackbear sent one of his men to meet Christopher in the afternoon. Christopher was given a thousand dollars and was just told one thing. “Make Benjamin's life difficult. Make him cry and run from his job, and you'll receive ten times more.” Of course, Blackbear was never thinking of giving another dollar more, but Christopher loved the offer. He never really liked Benjamin anyway, and he always secretly worried about Benjamin outshining him and snatching his job for him, so if he can make Benjamin quit the job, this would be hitting two birds with one stone.

He devised a plan and waited until evening. When Benjamin cback after delivering his last order, he left his uniform and the work-related sim here. Christopher took the sim and gave it to another new delivery guy and told him to do exactly as told. The new pizza guy took deliveries in Benjamin's nthe entire night and delivered late in half of the orders, and with pizzas messed up in sother cases. He received a string of low ratings. Christopher, who was watching all the live data on his desktop, was feeling very happy. “I've switched off all the cameras in this place. There's no way you can prove that it isn’t you, Benjamin. Everyone will think your greed got the better of you. Tomorrow might very well be your last day at work, but I'll get richer by ten grand!” At twelve in the night, he went to his has a happy man.

The next morning.

Christopher cearly to set everything up. However, as he was having espresso, he got shocked after seeing Benjamin's ratings that got reset to where they were before Christopher gave Benjamin's sim to the new worker.

“What the hell?” he rubbed his eyes once, twice, thrice, and ten times over. The result was still the same.

While he was utterly puzzled, Benjamin cand headed out for his first delivery. Christopher had given the new worker 500 dollars to make him quit his job and remain silent. But now, everything that happened last night seemed like a dream. If he still didn’t have the remaining five hundred dollars given by Blackbear’s underling, he would have likely doubted reality itself. Nevertheless, he began devising other plans to take down Benjamin.

Meanwhile, Benjamin again kept receiving the messages of money being debited from his card as he was delivering the pizzas. He really wanted to see who was using the card, but from the message infos, he had a guess. It was probably Veronica, he thought. Only she would fit the bill, as she wouldn't blink twice before spending a thousand dollars or even a million dollars. He called the customer care number that was in the message info.

A lady with a professional voice picked up his call. “This is Priscilla from Eternity Bank. It's an honor to receive a call from you, Sir Benjamin. Please, tell us the service you require.” “Can you tellwhere my card is right now?” “Just a second. Um, it’s in a movie theater.” “In a theater?” Benjamin was surprised. “I'll forward you the details, sir.” “Ah, thank you.” After getting the details, he went to the single-screen theater straight away and patiently waited outside until the show was over.

While he expected Veronica to cout, Lisa and her boyfriend did, shocking Benjamin. A lot of thoughts rushed through his mind. The two million dollar purchase of course was still fresh in his mind. What did she use that kind of money for? He couldn’t even imagine what she did with that much money? Did it give to her boyfriend, trusting him blindly? He couldn’t get his head around what might have happened, but surely couldn't just watch them as they walked out with smiles on their faces.

As Nate, Lisa's boyfriend, was getting onto his bike, Benjamin entered their view with his gaze sharp as ever.

Nate still very much remembered the last tBenjamin manhandled him, and he looked at Lisa nervously. “U- Uncle?” Lisa was also shocked to see Benjamin here. She snuck out of school during a break, but she never expected her uncle to cto the smovie. Benjamin didn’t say anything and just sat on his motorcycle that was coincidentally parked very next to Nate's bike. He glanced at Lisa, and she took a second to realize why he looked at her, and then sat on his bike. He looked at Nate and said, “If | see you with her again during school hours, I'll kick in your crotch so hard, you'll have trouble peeing for the rest of your life.” Nate shivered and stepped back in response. Benjamin drove away, whereas Lisa secretly gestured to Nate that she will call him later. Benjamin noticed her actions through the mirror but acted like he didn’t. He dropped her at school even though it was already three o'clock, and there was only one more class left.

But before she entered through the gate, he called for her, so she cback She thought he would take her home.

“Givethe card,” he put his hand forward. She instantly understood what he meant, but why was he asking for the card given to her by her father? She acted like she didn’t know what he was talking about. “What card, uncle?” “The one you used to pay for the movie and the snacks,” said Benjamin. Her little jaw dropped. How did he know that? Did he guess, or was he watching. “Have you been followingsince morning?” “What?” Her little brain began to piece things together the way she wanted. “Uncle, | think I'm starting to understand everything now. Why you hit my boyfriend the other day at the club, and why you showed up at the theater...” “What are you talking about?” Benjamin sounded irritated. “Just givethe card and go to your class.” “You... you like me, don’t you?” she said bluntly, peering at him with those round and big eyes of hers, scrutinizing all the movements of his facial muscles. Benjamin's expression froze for a good three seconds.

“Huh?”
