Chapter 142: How About Having a Meal Together Later?
At this moment, Camille really wanted to know what Benjamin was thinking.
In fact, whether the collaboration would work or not wasn’t the most important thing. Anyway, she was determined to make things go her way with Benjamin. She wanted both the collaboration and him. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of such a good opportunity?
Then Camille said, “I wonder what you are thinking right now. If there’s any dissatisfaction with the cooperation, feel free to speak up.”
Startled, Pierre thought if the proposal he wrote had any problems. He looked at Benjamin with a very puzzled expression.
These days, he had been working tirelessly, wanting to finish this matter as soon as possible. He put a lot of effort into it and even got some information in advance from Simon.
Pierre thought he had everything under control, but now it seemed that things might be different.
He felt his heart rate accelerating because of this. No way, this couldn’t be happening.
He shouldn’t be this unlucky.
“If you feel there’s something not right, please feel free to point it out, and I’ll make the necessary corrections right away!” Pierre spoke to Benjamin, with great sincerity, seeming like he wouldn’t dare to argue at all. Even if Benjamin purposely found faults that didn’t even exist, Pierre could only choose to accept it.
Moreover, Pierre knew that Benjamin wasn’t the kind of person who enjoyed picking on things just for the sake of it. If he thought something was wrong, there must be a genuine reason.
Under the puzzled gazes of Camille and Pierre, Benjamin finally snapped out of it. This must be a first, but when he thought about the reason behind this whole thing being Martina, it somehow made him feel relieved.
Benjamin casually lifted his fingertip and said, “It’s alright, let’s continue.”
Camille had some uneasy thoughts in her mind. If it wasn’t because of the proposal, then what could possibly distract Benjamin?
She seemed to have an idea and motioned to her assistant behind her. The assistant quickly understood her intentions and left here. ear.
After a few minutes or so, the assistant returned and whispered something in Camille’s
Visibly, Camille’s expression changed and she seemed somewhat shocked. Her gaze kept drifting towards Benjamin from time to time.
Benjamin had never been interested in other women. Even if he knew someone was looking at him, he’d pretend not to notice because he simply didn’t care.
The meeting concluded, and they successfully signed the contract. However, they still needed to visit their new project site tomorrow, and there were no other plans afterward.
“Mr. Walker. I heard that when you came to discuss the collaboration today, you brought a girl with you. Since you’ve come all the way here, how about bringing her along for a meal together?” Camille thought for a moment and suggested.
Martina couldn’t be hidden even if they wanted to, as so many people in the company had already seen her. Plus, Benjamin didn’t show any intention of keeping it a secret, so Camille certainly knew it.
Benjamin’s eyes flickered slightly, and he didn’t outright reject Camille’s suggestion. Despite his usually decisive personality, he responded with an elusive answer this time. “Let me ask her first.”
At that moment, Camille was genuinely shocked. It was something Benjamin could easily agree to, but he wanted to ask that woman for permission?
In Benjamin’s heart, it seemed that the woman held quite a significant place.
Camille suddenly felt a sense of crisis, as she had long considered Benjamin as the goal she would strive for in her life. It was precisely because of this that she had been tirelessly working to get closer to him, step by step.
But since Benjamin had already spoken, Camille could only nod in agreement, “Alright. And I’ll be here waiting for both of your responses.”
Without saying a word, Benjamin walked out the door.
Gazing at Benjamin’s cold and determined demeanor, Camille believed that it was his genuine nature.
Little did she know that only when Benjamin was with Martina, he appeared as a different person
–
more vibrant and seemingly like an ordinary individual.
Beside Martina, he no longer seemed unapproachable, nor did he evoke a sense of extreme fear. But in front of others, he would return to his usual self, without any changes.
At this moment, Martina was in the lounge, drinking juice, eating snacks, and playing games on her phone. Time seemed to pass quickly.
When Benjamin arrived, he saw Martina’s current state.
Originally exhausted, Benjamin even felt the throbbing pain from the wound on his back. However, when he saw Martina, all those uncomfortable feelings seemed to disappear at that moment.
“What are you doing?” Benjamin asked.
Perhaps because Martina was so engrossed in the game, she didn’t notice someone quietly approaching her side. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
If it weren’t for the familiar voice suddenly calling from above, she would probably still be immersed in the game world.
Martina looked up and saw Benjamin standing before her. “Finished work?”
Considering the total time spent, it had been less than an hour, much quicker than
Martina had expected.
“Yeah, how about going out for a meal later?” Benjamin nodded.
Hearing Benjamin’s question, Martina didn’t quite understand. “Why suddenly go out for a meal again?”
Benjamin’s body hadn’t fully recovered yet. Even if others didn’t know, he should take better care of himself.
“It’s work–related. Let’s have a meal together while we’re at it,” Benjamin explained, as if he had grasped Martina’s thoughts. “There’s nothing on my schedule this afternoon, so I can go around with you first. But before that, we need to eat.”
Since Martina had already agreed to Benjamin’s arrangement, she naturally had no choice but to continue agreeing.
“Well… Is it your idea or someone else’s?” Martina felt a bit hesitant about going along like this. After all, she wasn’t really a participant in the collaboration.
