He knew it wasn’t his mother because at that time she was at the market.
He wasn’t his father either. Because he was at work.
So who would it be? A thief ? But Benjamin did not listen to the invader’s thoughts, otherwise he would have attacked at the first opportunity.
So he thought, who used to raid our fridge when he lived in Transylvania? Paola.
Benjamin grabbed a broom and walked over.
He saw that the thief was robbing the refrigerator.
He approached with the handle of the broom and…
-I can’t believe Paola, you haven’t stopped that ugly custom, even here in France.
“Sorry Benjamin, but I prefer the blood your father keeps in reserve, so I thought I’d have no problem taking it.
-Man you scared me, I thought it was some human and had discovered our secret.
– Ah Benjamin, I know we need to be careful, we are still getting used to the climate here, and these rings the necklace bar our smells.
“Yes, I couldn’t smell you, but I couldn’t hear your thoughts either. And weird, I could have killed you for real.
“But I know you wouldn’t be able to.
– Come sit here, stop attacking the fridge, I have a lot of news to tell you.
– What ? Do you have any news about my vacancy at the company?
– No Paola, they still haven’t told me anything.
“I hope they call me soon.” So what’s new?
_Ahh Paola Mr. Oliver he is so cute.
_Iiii this one is in love.
– No Paola, you’re crazy. Mr Oliver must have a girlfriend.
“Have you asked him yet?”
– Look at my face, Paola. Do you really think I would ask something so intimate?
– I don’t know Benjamin, maybe he’s single. Make friends with him so you get closer to him. You can see in his eyes that he’s in love with him. But you’ll have to hold back, you might fall into temptation and want to bite him and suck his blood to death.
– I wouldn’t do that to him, you know, I avoid drinking human blood, I’ve been controlling myself for a year. And look at me But not me Paola, I have no chance with him, do you think a man like him would look at a guy as ugly as me. Let’s be realistic my friend.
– Don’t despise yourself my friend, you have your worth, you just need to approach him, you are a good man.
Benjamin was silent looking at his friend who was right. He got up looking at himself in the mirror and said.
‘If Mr. Oliver were to fall in love with me, I swear I’d do anything for him, but he’ll never look at me.’
In Armand’s office.
Martin was kissing Armand fondly, and Armand pushed him away slightly.
– What was my love ?
– We can’t focus on dating here at the Martin company, can you imagine if my parents walk through that door and get us.
– Baby, are you afraid your parents don’t approve of us?
“Of course Martin, my father especially, he couldn’t stand me being with a man.
– But uncle knows we’ve been friends for decades, he knows my father, my mother. Or do you not want to make a commitment to me?
– It’s not that Martin, you always dramatic, I love you and nothing will change, I’m just saying we need to be careful. It’s okay that Oliver knows about us, but not everyone here at the company knows, they are suspicious, but I don’t want them to keep talking about us.
– Okay, I understand, you want to preserve the good reputation of the company, I am also part of it, and my father left all the shares in my name, I know what you are afraid of, but I want you to know, I will always love you Armand, and one day we will need to make our love official and I won’t regret it.
Armand hugged him, being very grateful and said.
– Thank you my love, you don’t know how important this is to me, thank you very much.
– I just want your happiness, I love you.
Armand gave his boyfriend a discreet kiss, then went to his desk, opening a drawer with a purple folder and placing it on the table.
– What is that ? Martin asked curiously.
– That’s my biggest concern. Open!
Martin took the folder and flipped through the various pages and when he stopped at one of them his eyes widened.
– It can’t be Armand! That’s it…
– The company’s debt, I’m liquidated Martin and I don’t know how I’m going to talk to my parents and your parents about this debt.
– Armand, I don’t believe this is a lot of money.
– You think I don’t know Martin, I don’t know what else to say to shareholders. Power Man is $3 million in debt. And my dad thinks the company is over two million in profit. I don’t know what else to do. If I talk about this debt, I will kill my father with a heart attack. Damn I’m rubbish I put our company in the mud Martin.
Armand was desperate and started to cry.
– Calm down my love, it’s not like that, it wasn’t your fault, let’s solve this, trust me.
– You know what worries me? – said Armand looking at the debt documents.
– What, you don’t have to worry about anything.
– Of course, I need Martin, you take everything to the side of the joke, you’re forgetting a person who is worse than Robert on our tail.
– Who are you talking to?
– Your brother Luke, that bastard Luke, he’ll be the first to finish me off.
– But Luke doesn’t even show up at the Armand company, he’s busy there with the shooting of the models.
– Martin, your brother came here today at the company, I saw him.
– I can’t believe it, he didn’t even tell me anything. And don’t worry about him, you know why?
– No, he gets on my nerves Martin, he interferes with my way of running the company, of course he really wanted my job, like Porshe.
– Humm love, look Luke is just worried about the company’s image, the videos, the ads, the photos of the models, that’s his life, he won’t get involved in the finances. Trust me.
– I hope you are right, he cannot in any way know about this debt, in fact no one can know, keep these papers there in the ugly room.
– What ? Wait why in Benjamin Leroy’s room?
– It will be safe there, and he doesn’t even need to know it’s there. Ande leave it there in the ugly room.
– Ahhh no Armand, better we give it to Oliver and he leaves it in his room.
