Chapter 431: The House That Johnny Had Gotten Me

Hayley’s POV:

As soon as Benjamin noticed the two girls approaching, he pulled me into a tight embrace and firmly addressed them. “Sorry, but that’s not happening.”

The girls seemed stunned by the abrupt rejection, and after a moment of hesitation, they walked off, clearly embarrassed.

I couldn’t resist teasing him. “You always say my face is so recognizable, but it looks like yours attracts even more attention. Maybe next time, you should wear a mask too.”

Benjamin gave me an amused look, acting as though he was seriously considering my suggestion. “Alright, maybe I will.”

I laughed at his unexpected response before pulling out my phone. “I was thinking of calling Henry to see if he wants to join us for dinner.”

Before I could dial, Benjamin gently grabbed my hand. “No need to call him. I want to be alone with you.”

His words made me burst into laughter. “Hahaha, alright then! Let’s go check out the house that Johnny got me.”

“That sounds perfect,” he replied with a smile.

When we reached the school entrance, we found Tyrone, Benjamin’s assistant, already waiting by the car. As soon as he saw us, he quickly stepped out and handed Benjamin the car keys. “Alpha, here are the keys.”

Benjamin took them and gave his assistant a few instructions. “Thanks, Tyrone. After this, check on the branch office, see how things are going, and handle any urgent matters. Leave the rest for later.”

“Understood, Alpha,” Tyrone responded respectfully.

We got into the car, and it slowly pulled out of the driveway. As we drove, I stared out the window, absorbing the sights of the city. It was familiar, yet it felt like a new chapter of my life. This was where I would spend my university years, and for some reason, a wave of anticipation washed over me.

While I was lost in thought, Hera grew increasingly excited, sensing Benjamin’s presence. Her urge for him was becoming stronger, and she kept urging me to kiss him, but I managed to keep her in check.

I continued talking with Benjamin, and before long, we arrived at the house that Johnny had gotten me. It was a spacious duplex apartment with a sleek, modern design that matched my tastes perfectly. I quickly explored the place and felt satisfied with it. Turning to Benjamin, I said, “This would be a great place to stay on weekends.”

Benjamin smiled and ruffled my hair. “Sure, that sounds great.”

Just then, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I answered quickly. “Hello, Ms. Carson, it’s Winifred. I heard you’ve arrived in Cambridge.”

“Yes, I just got here,” I replied.

“That’s wonderful. When would be a good time for you to bring the design draft to Ms. Sander for her review?”

I thought for a moment. “How about tomorrow? I’ll have some free time then.”

“That works. I’ll send you the address, and you can come by tomorrow.”

After hanging up, Winifred sent me the details. I tucked my phone away and turned to Benjamin. “There’s nothing urgent at school tomorrow, so I’ll drop off the draft and see if any revisions are needed.”

“Okay, be careful! And call me if you need anything,” he said as he pulled me into a hug and kissed my cheek. “What am I going to do? I already miss you, even though we haven’t been apart yet.”

I laughed. “We’re in the same city, so we’ll see each other often. Now, let’s go grab something to eat.”

That evening, I moved into the student dormitory, but my roommate still hadn’t arrived. The next morning, I woke up early, still trying to adjust to the new surroundings. After getting ready, I headed to the school cafeteria for breakfast.

At 9:00 AM, I took a taxi to the address Winifred had given me. When I arrived, I was greeted by a large estate, slightly smaller than my house at Shadow Pack. The driver stopped at the gate, and as I reached for my phone to call Winifred, it rang.

“Ms. Carson, have you arrived? I’ve arranged for someone to meet you at the gate. Please follow her inside.”

At that moment, a maid in uniform approached me. “Ms. Carson, please follow me,” she said.

I followed the maid through the estate, and as we walked past the staff, Hera was immediately drawn to a strong human scent. I was taken aback. Unlike other werewolf families that tended to avoid humans, this one seemed to have human staff. Who exactly was this Ms. Sander?

“Ms. Carson, Ms. Sander is on the second floor, in the reception room. I’ll take you up,” the maid said. Just as she spoke, Winifred appeared.
