Martina sat to the left of Jack in the center. Benjamin, on the other hand, sat to the right of Jack, giving off a somewhat pitiful vibe, feeling like his presence was somewhat redundant.
There were many times when Benjamin attempted to speak up, only to be completely ignored by Martina and Jack. Eventually, he had no choice but to sit there in silence. Well, as long as he could be present, he thought, he wouldn't ask for more.
While they were eating, Jack finally took the initiative to chat with Benjamin, saying, "How has business been during the time I've been away?"
Benjamin's eyes revealed some peculiar emotions, and he answered, "The current situation is fine, and there haven't been any issues. Everything is normal."
