Chapter 141: Is There Any Dissatisfaction with the Plan?
Martina really came.
Pierre was well aware of what Martina represented to Benjamin, even a fool could
figure it out. Only she could be treated with such caution by Benjamin, just her, and no one
else.
Others were still looking at each other, completely unaware of who this woman was
that Mr. Walker treated with such care!
Martina emerged in front of everyone. Her presence commanded attention as she gracefully made her way forward, capturing the gaze of all those present.
They saw a delicately featured woman, wearing casual black pants and a white tank top, standing beside Benjamin. At that moment, many people were shocked.
What was going on? How could this be?!
Many women fell in love with Benjamin at first sight. They thought that such a man
should not be the type that anyone could easily approach.
Anyway, everyone’s emotions were balanced. The most important thing was… being able to get close to Benjamin, even if it was just a fleeting glance, it would bring immense
satisfaction.
After all, Benjamin couldn’t possibly have been interested in anyone, so naturally, he wouldn’t have caused anyone any trouble or dissatisfaction. And now, his eyes were only on Martina. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Martina filled his heart and eyes completely!
“Why? Why does Mr. Walker have a woman by his side?” Many women had a look of confusion and incomprehension, and some even pressed on their temples in pain, afraid they might faint!
However, Pierre couldn’t bear to listen any longer! He didn’t hesitate to roll his eyes at
those gossiping people.
“What’s wrong with all of you? Have you forgotten what was the most important thing that day?” Pierre admonished. “Don’t say things you shouldn’t, and don’t ask questions you shouldn’t! Otherwise, you’ll land in trouble.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Sharply, Pierre continued, “Moreover, is it more reasonable there are men around Mr.
Walker than women?”
Benjamin, after all, was a man, and even a hero had a hard time resisting the allure of
a beautiful woman!
Pierre couldn’t understand why those women thought that there shoudn’t be any women. around Benjamin.
Other people were silenced by Pierre and felt that whatever they said was wrong. In the end, they could only awkwardly scratch their heads and say, “Mr. Dubois, we know we were
wrong…”
Luckily, Pierre didn’t have time to argue with them. He quickly went to personally greet Benjamin and Martina. He made a gesture of invitation, “Mr. Walker, Miss Martinez, this way,
please.”
The top–floor office.
Pierre led Benjamin upstairs, but due to work reasons, Martina was arranged to be in
the adjacent lounge.
Mainly because of some business confidential matters, it was indeed a bit inconvenient
for her to accompany them.
Plus, Martina didn’t want to make things difficult for Benjamin, so she made a decision
almost instantly.
Just before parting, she instructed Simon, “Take care of your boss. His injury is still quite serious, don’t let his emotions fluctuate too much. If there is anything you can’t handle, tell me, and I’ll take care of it.”
If it were before, Simon would definitely not believe that Martina had such a smart mind. But now, he had no doubt about what Martina said.
Was there anything Miss Martinez couldn’t handle? The answer was no.
“Miss Martinez, rest assured, we’ll stay in touch by phone anytime,” Simon responded.
Martina promised, and then followed a young assistant to the lounge.
The assistant came back and specially prepared coffee and juice for Martina, probably not knowing her preferences, so she deliberately made both options available.
Martina smiled gratefully at the assistant and said, “Thank you.”
Initially, the assistant was simply curious about what made this woman so special to be treated that way by Mr. Walker. She even had him escort her out of the car, which seemed a bit pretentious. But now, having seen Martina up close, all the slight discontent in the assistant’s heart completely vanished.
No wonder Mr. Walker was attracted; a woman who spoke so beautifully and gently was undoubtedly very likable to men. Even women could like her.
The assistant wondered if she could remain indifferent if she ever encountered such a
girl herself. Probably not!
“You are welcome. It’s just something I should do,” the assistant said, blushing
unconsciously.
Martina was taken aback and gave the assistant an extra glance. “What’s wrong? Why did your face suddenly turn so red?”
Embarrassed, the assistant touched his face and felt even more awkward. This was so
embarrassing!
At the same time, things on Benjamin’s side were also progressing smoothly.
Because he was a living advertisement, everyone was eager to collaborate with him.
If it weren’t for the fact that this project and the collaboration were both in Carlsbad, Benjamin wouldn’t have made a special trip here. After all, expanding his professional network required a personal visit.
They started with a small meeting, which lasted about half an hour. During this time, even the CEO of the company was present.
Surprisingly, the CEO of this company was a woman.
Even though they were discussing business, her gaze was fixed on Benjamin’s face, as if she couldn’t take her eyes off him.
Benjamin appeared completely unaware, gently pursing his lips as he recollected some scenes from the previous night–Martina’s shyness, her fluster, and her uncertainty. He also remembered the moment when something happened, seeing Martina looking lost and scared, desperately trying to hold back tears.
It was clear that Martina was so worried about him, but she was unwilling to admit it.
Benjamin knew that all of this was because of what he did in the past, which made her feel uncertain and anxious.
So, Martina couldn’t truly open her heart now.
She was like a prickly hedgehog, as soon as someone got close, she unconsciously raised all her spines, hoping to scare him away.
However, Benjamin was not like other men, and he couldn’t let Martina get her way with this approach.
Camille Moreau, the CEO, appeared intrigued as she gazed at Benjamin.
She noticed that Benjamin, who was usually so focused on work, seemed lost in thought. Why was he acting like this?
Ignoring Pierre, who was still explaining their cooperation plan, Camille took the initiative to speak, “Mr. Walker, it seems like you’re not fond of our proposal?”
If not for this, Camille couldn’t understand why Benjamin would spend his time daydreaming.
