I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Harper was very puzzled, unsure if Frank did it intentionally or unintentionally.

Was it just her overthinking?

Perhaps he touched the phone out of curiosity?

But that explanation seemed far-fetched.

She couldn't convince herself to believe it.

However, she resisted the urge to immediately find out what happened. She clenched her teeth and her expression serious, furrowing her brows tightly. She remained silent for a long time without any reaction. At this moment, Annie came in with food.

Seeing Harper lost in thought, Annie asked, "What's wrong?"

Harper snapped out of it and shook her head. Annie didn't press further. After placing the lunch on the coffee table by the sofa, she walked over to Harper and said, "Come on, let's have lunch."

She reached out to help Harper up, caring for her like an elderly person.

She said, "You have to talk to Benjamin properly. He needs to pay me a salary for taking care of his wife. Otherwise, it's not worth it."

"Okay, I'll mention it to him when I get home tonight. But I think he might choose to compensate you in other ways."

"What other ways?"

"For example, getting you a husband? Are you interested?"

Harper sat down on the sofa and waited for Annie to hand her the cutlery, but Annie's eyes remained fixed on her without blinking.

After handing over the cutlery, Annie casually asked, "What husband?"

"Just getting you a man. Are you interested?"

"What kind of man?"

Annie glanced at Harper and didn't seem very curious.

Harper pressed her lips, ate her meal slowly, and then said, "What kind of man do you want? He has abundant resources and can be chosen unconditionally."

"There won't be any defective goods, right?"

"You can inspect them at any time. But there might not be any defective ones, although there might be some second-hand ones. I heard some people are considering canceling their engagements and getting divorced, but the process is a bit difficult..." Harper didn't know what Annie was thinking, but since it involved her, she naturally told her everything without reservation. As for how to choose, that was up to her.

Annie remained silent, her eyes showing a complicated expression. The meal was eaten quietly, and the food was still from the Silver, pre-ordered by Benjamin early in the morning.

While Harper was having lunch, Benjamin was not as relaxed on his end.

Benjamin had already attended three meetings that morning, and it was almost lunchtime when they ended.

Back in his office, the food Curtis had ordered was already cold. Curtis asked, "Mr. Martin, should I reheat it for you?"

Benjamin waved his hand to decline. He had little appetite and wasn't very hungry. He just asked Curtis to bring in a cup of coffee.

After placing the coffee down, Curtis began to report on the progress of the failed project.

The police had started conducting one-on-one interviews with every worker involved in the project, but with a large number of personnel, results were not expected to come quickly.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Then Curtis mentioned, "Mr. Martin, the psychologist's office contacted me again last night, asking me to visit today if you have time. I plan to go during the time you're handling documents in the office."

Curtis was referring to Benjamin's request for him to find out if Lauren was cooperating with treatment.

Originally, Curtis was supposed to go on the day of the incident, but the incident delayed him, and he only now managed to free up some time.

Benjamin agreed, and after Curtis finished his work, he went straight there.

Arriving at the psychologist's clinic, the doctor personally led Curtis back to the office and instructed the assistant not to receive any patients for about half an hour.

After the office door closed, Curtis asked, "Is Ms. Davis still cooperating with the treatment?"
