Chapter 33: The End of the Talk If Martina was not an important person to Benjamin, then there might not have been anyone else who was.
In the end, Benjamin simply chose a set of sportswear from the wardrobe that hadn’t been worn for a long time. This sportswear had been previously bought by Martina and seemed to have a couple’s style.
The light gray sportswear, adorning Benjamin’s well-built physique, exuded the aura of a mannequin, accentuating his physique.
No matter what they wore, the attractive individuals always managed to look good. That was a fact.
Benjamin’s mood was so good at the moment that even his tone of speech was noticeably lighter than usual.
Simon didn’t dare to breathe and cautiously reported on the work report beside him. “According to the work schedule, our next task is to participate in an international conference through online communication.”
“Besides that, we also need to meet two other clients. They have had appointments with you for almost half a year, and we can’t postpone it any longer.”
“Also-”
Before Simon could finish speaking, Benjamin casually waved his hand and strode. downstairs. “Today’s work can be put on hold for now. I have other arrangements.”
Simon was stunned for a moment. How could he not know about the boss’s arrangements? After all, he was the chief assistant of the assistant team!
Could it be that the boss arranged something private?
Indeed, that was true!
Simon swiftly deduced, “If my guess is correct, the boss was likely heading to meet
Miss Martinez.”
In order to see Miss Martinez, he actually wore this outfit, which is really unbelievable! Simon dared to entertain numerous thoughts in his mind, but voicing them out was beyond his courage. “Alright… Alright, boss,” he replied.
After going downstairs, when Elizabeth saw Benjamin, she immediately stood up and talked to him, “Son, are you awake? Then come and eat.”
It was obvious that Elizabeth was waiting for Benjamin, otherwise she would not have woken up at this time.
Benjamin glanced at his mother and said, “I’m not eating. I have to go outside.”
Elizabeth didn’t know what Benjamin was up to and didn’t even think Martina was
related.
Recently, without Martina at home, she felt much better.
At this moment, Elizabeth was obviously a little fluttery and even wanted to make some suggestions. “Benjamin, your constant busyness every day has been causing me great
concern.
Benjamin remained silent. He was never good at expressing himself, otherwise, he wouldn’t have angered Martina to the point of leaving.
Elizabeth saw that Benjamin wasn’t angry and gathered her courage to speak again, “Actually, I also want you to spend more time with me, but I know you don’t have time.
“But I’m really bored alone at home. They say that being bored for too long can lead to
illness.
“So I thought, maybe Amy can come over again, just to accompany me. Okay?”
If it were any other insignificant request, Benjamin would agree without hesitation. But this request made Benjamin think of why Martina left home again.
A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. “What’s her last name?”
Elizabeth didn’t react for a moment and answered honestly, “Her last name is Paloma. You grew up together. Have you forgotten?”
Benjamin replied with a question instead, “What’s our last name?”
Elizabeth had nothing to say. She finally realized that Benjamin was unwilling to agree what she required.
But she didn’t give up, saying, “Amy is a good girl. We get along well. Even if we’re not related by blood, we’re like a family.”
Benjamin didn’t want to waste any more time. “If you really want to live with her, I can buy another house for you.”
He meant that if Amy came here, Elizabeth would have to move out with her.
Elizabeth was very angry. Benjamin had never refused her in such things before. What wrong with him?
However, she still needed to rely on her son. How could she leave here? “Will you change your answer?”
Benjamin didn’t even bother to look at Elizabeth but instructed Simon, “Go find a new house for my mother and arrange for someone to pack her belongings.”
Benjamin had always been efficient and decisive.
Elizabeth was frightened and didn’t dare to express such thoughts anymore.
She could only lower her head and pretend to compromise, saying, “Okay, since you
Just please don’t drive me away. I still want to spend
time with you.”
Without a word, Benjamin swiftly walked away.
Simon, perhaps out of respect for her being the boss’s mother, sincerely offered a
reminder.
“Mrs. Elizabeth Walker, Miss Paloma and Miss Martinez have never gotten along. How
could the boss possibly agree to this?”
Elizabeth glared at Simon displeasedly and warned, “You are not involved in our family
issue.”
Simon shook his head and bowed to Elizabeth, saying, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
I have to go now.”
Stepped outside, Benjamin drove himself, intending to meet Martina alone.
He remembered that Martina had mentioned that she want him to take her to a theme
park when he had time.
He had always been busy and never had the chance before, but today happened to be different. He consider it compensation for her.
Bringing her back forcefully today must make her unhappy, and she had no outlet for her emotions. Taking her to the theme park would surely make her happy.
Benjamin dialed Martina’s number and heard a busy tone from his phone, saying, “Hello, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later.”
Benjamin furrowed his brows. Could it be because he was still blocked?
He opened SnapChat and found Martina’s pinned chat.
He made a video call, but the system prompted that it was busy and unable to establish a connection temporarily.
Without a reason, Benjamin’s right eyelid twitched unexpectedly.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel. What was Martina up to again?
Could it be that she still didn’t want to come back?
At this moment, Benjamin had no idea that Martina had already run away.
He had never even considered the possibility that Martina would dare to run away, and even if she did, he believed she would never escape from his grasp.
So Benjamin wasn’t worried about all this. He just thought of it as Martina throwing a tantrum and venting her anger at him.
He believed that as long as he brought Martina back, let her know that Amy had already left, and planned to take her to the theme park, she would be like before.
