"Since you're just starting, I don't think payment is needed now. When everything is done, the building and sales begin, that's when I think I should start receiving payment," Olive suggested.Benjamin chuckled and nodded in approval. "That's a fair approach, Olive. However, for your initial commitment and efforts, I insist on providing you with $10,000. Consider it both as a token of appreciation and a resource for your personal use.”"$10,000?" Olive was visibly shocked. She questioned, "Without any work yet, $10,000? That's quite generous. Why such a significant amount?"Benjamin smiled. "Consider it an investment in your potential. You're going to work for me, and I believe in recognizing and rewarding dedication. Use it for yourself; you deserve to enjoy the quality you'll be contributing to our projects.""Wow, thank you so much, Master. I appreciate it," Olive expressed her gratitude.Benjamin nodded, and without hesitation, he initiated the transfer. As Olive left, Benjamin re

"I've been trained to recognize the subtle details," Benjamin explained. "The brushstrokes, color nuances, and even the aging patterns. It's all part of my expertise."Cordelia couldn't help but feel impressed, though a tinge of vulnerability lingered. The paintings were more than just art; they held sentimental value. Benjamin had exposed the deception, leaving Cordelia in a state of silent contemplation.As Cordelia examined Benjamin, a sense of astonishment filled her. Glancing at the time, it was already 30 minutes past 8. She looked at Benjamin and suggested, "I'm going to cook. What would you like to eat?"Benjamin shook his head, responding, "Just as you said, I should leave after my work is done, so I'll take my leave now."Cordelia sighed, hesitating before saying, "Benjamin, I'm... I'm..." Her words trailed off, and then she suggested, "Let me go and escort you? I'll drive.”However, Benjamin declined, shaking his head. "I came alone; I'll go alone, please. I don't want to be

“Of course that's an important person, surely there'll be guns.” Another said"Is that a celebrity? He's trying to stay incognito," one person suggested."No, I think he's some high-profile figure. Look at the security detail," another chimed in."Maybe he's a millionaire or a billionaire. Those cars and guards are too fancy for a regular person," someone speculated.The whispers intensified as the group moved along the sidewalk.At that time, a young girl looked at her mom and asked, "Mom, that uncle has got people following him with guns. Will they hurt us?""Keep quiet, don't talk," the little girl's mom replied nervously.Benjamin, who had overheard their conversation, walked in front of the little girl and knelt down to her level. The girl's mom was shocked but didn't say a word.Benjamin smiled, rubbing his hand over the little girl's hair, and reassured her, "They won't hurt you, okay?”The little girl looked at her mom, then back at Benjamin, and nodded.Benjamin smiled. The gi

"The boss is giving the grand tour!" Workers whispered among themselves as Suzzy led Benjamin through the aerospace marvels. "Comport and focus, everyone!" they echoed, quickly adjusting their posture and attention to reflect the arrival of their esteemed manager.Suzzy guided Benjamin through the aerospace wonderland with the assurance of a seasoned storyteller. As they approached the massive CNC machines, she gestured towards them with a gleam of pride in her eyes."Here we have our CNC machines, Master Benjamin," Suzzy explained, her voice carrying a blend of admiration and expertise. "These giants precisely carve intricate components for our aerospace wonders. It's a symphony of technology and craftsmanship.”They continued through the humming expanse, arriving at a row of automated robotic arms engaged in a mesmerizing dance of precision. "Meet our robotic workforce," Suzzy introduced. "They assemble with an accuracy that surpasses human capabilities. Each movement is a step clo

Evelyn nodded and looked at Ezra, saying, "Let's go out."Ezra nodded, and they walked out together. After they left, Benjamin turned to Suzzy and inquired, "So, about my friends, what plan do you have now?"Suzzy thought for a moment and replied, "Master, I'll send a message to the interview team to contact them. They'll be interviewed again, and this time, they'll be picked.”"Good, please do that. I'll take my leave. If anything comes up, contact me," Benjamin said, sharing his contact information with Suzzy before he walked out.Once Benjamin left, Suzzy sat down and dialed the number of the interviewing team. After a few rings, the call connected."Hello, Manager Suzzy," a man's voice came through."Yes, hello. I want you to do something. Two young men came for an interview and were rejected. Give them a call, tell them they have another chance, and when they get here, interview them and give them the job," Suzzy instructed.The man asked, "Which young men are those, Manager?""I
