Resident Evil: Eddie EN

Chapter 22:

"You're not slandering Benjamin, are you?" Katherine was a little angry at the man's accusations in front of her. So far, what she saw was only a good impression to Benjamin; of course, the two of them were very close to being in a relationship soon.

Hearing bad things about the man she had a crush on, of course, she felt disapproved.

"Uh... So you like the guy. Then I'll make you see the true color of h- Forget it, your business is none of my business."

"Anyway, I just wanted to meet him; you think a thief is a kind person?"

"The thing I've been working on for months has been stolen from my hands; here, you're making fun of me. Don't you have a heart?"

Eddie could only say with a rhetorical question.

On the other hand, Katherine lowered her head, she felt a little guilty, inwardly she said: 'What if Benjamin does like this guy named Eddie says?' Various questions began to appear in her head.

She was a graduate of a well-known university; of course, stealing other people's projects was a very disgraceful thing.

"I'll make you meet Benjamin. But what if you're just accusing him?"

"If I am in the wrong one, then I will immediately apologize to him; if necessary, I will compensate him with money."

"But what if your friend is at fault?" Eddie asked back.

In short, this is gambling. Of course, Eddie wasn't going to lose; after all, he was the one who arranged this, hehe...

Katherine started biting her lip. "Then what do you want?"

"Huh? Didn't you decide this yourself? Surely you don't want to benefit yourself, do you?"

"I-if Benjamin is indeed that kind of person, th-then I won't speak to him again!"

Katherine started her idea; of course, she was worried; what if her guess was wrong?

"What? What's the point of betting like that, not interacting with him anymore? Whether you want to keep in touch with him or not is none of my business."

"Forget it, how about you treat me some food? Maybe pizza, burgers, and coke drink."

Eddie rejected Katherine's suggestion. Instead, he made a very funny bet.

On the other hand, Katherine was surprised; she chuckled slightly after hearing Eddie's bet. Pizza? Hamburger? What... "Alright, if you're right, then I'll treat you a meal. Also, don't forget your promise."

***

Inside the luxurious villa, Spencer sat listening to reports about Eddie.

A funny report, of course. This guy named Eddie has bribed a reporter named Benjamin to seduce a girl? What a naive thing... But it didn't matter; Spencer didn't mind too much about it.

"A man like this is destined to be a subordinate. There are no lofty ambitions which fit perfectly into his plans."

But little did Spencer know. Eddie had planned all these crazy things, all this stuff was a game to loosen Spencer's guard on him.

When the time is right, the beautiful sister named Alex will do the rest of the task.

When off guard, stab in the back!

Back to Eddie and Katherine.

Eddie talked to Katherine for over thirty minutes; they were in the restaurant by now.

There was pizza, burger, and coke on the table that Eddie had previously wanted.

At first, their conversation was quite awkward. Well... It's no surprise because Eddie provoked Katherine from the start. But this changed when they started to talk about virology, cancer, and other things about medical stuff. This conversation fascinated Katherine; her previously wrong view of Eddie began to change.

Eddie's explanations were even more enjoyable than the university professors' explanations. She didn't even feel sleepy or bored in the slightest!

"Do you know how to treat cancer?" Katherine's beautiful eyes shone slightly; she looked at Eddie with anticipation.

"Ahh... Your friend has come; let's discuss that topic another time." Eddie smiled, then he looked at the man wearing a vest while smoking in the distance.

"Sorry Katherine, I'm late."

The man approached Katherine. After that, he was taken aback; he looked at Eddie and asked in a hostile tone.

"Hey, who are you? What are you doing with Katherine!"

"Oh... So this is your attitude. Did you forget that half a year ago, you secretly photographed my paper? That time you also interviewed me!"

"And now you're pretending that you don't know me, don't you have any shame?" Eddie said angrily

Benjamin secretly praised Eddie's acting. If they hadn't done a deal before, he probably thought by now that Eddie was furious at him.

At the same time, after hearing Eddie's statement, Benjamin took a few steps back, as if he had been caught by Eddie!

This suspicious action was clearly caught by Katherine's eyes. Her feelings turned sour, she immediately asked: "Benjamin, do you know Eddie?"

Benjamin bowed his head, he replied: "I don't know him; I only met him once." The acting that Eddie and Benjamin are currently doing is really excellent!

"You better tell the truth, Ben! You're not tricking me, are you? I hate people who like to lie!"

Katherine growled; all her good feelings for Benjamin were fading. She felt she had been betrayed by the person she loved...

"What makes you think that I was the culprit? You have no proof!" Benjamin tried to hold on.

"Because at that time, you were the only one interviewing me! The day after that, the paper I had been working on was in the newspapers."

"And it didn't even mention my name. This must be entirely your plan; just admit it!"

Eddie showed solid evidence for the accusations leveled against him.

Eddie began to play the evidence of the conversation he had with Benjamin.

Seeing this evidence, Benjamin's legs immediately went limp...

"I confess... At that time, I received a commission from someone. He asked me to pretend to interview you. I was wrong, please don't report this to my boss. Otherwise, I will lose my job..."

Benjamin confessed with a sad sigh.

"Look, I've already proved it to you; indeed, this guy is not a good man!"

Eddie poured gasoline on the fire.

*Pa!!!*

Suddenly there was a thunderous slap.

Benjamin received a slap from Katherine on the cheek. "You bastard, I misjudged you; I really am a fool!"

"You liar, don't ever call me again; I don't want to see you!"

Then Katherine ran off sobbing, her chest aching while tears rolled down her cheeks.
