Chapter 62: Is This the Real Reason? As Simon left the room, only the two of them were left behind.
The atmosphere not only didn’t improve, but it grew increasingly oppressive.
This oppressive feeling emanated not only from Benjamin, but also from Martina.
After Simon left the ward, he stayed with Leslie, and the two of them sat on a bench in the hospital, both sighed deeply at the same time.
Leslie took a sip of coffee to console himself, saying, “Simon, why are you sighing?
What’s wrong with you?”
Simon scratched his head and said, “Nothing, just got my bonus deducted for three months.”
Leslie heartily wrapped Simon’s arm around the shoulder, saying, “Come on, it’s not a big deal. I had my entire year’s bonus deducted! Just because we couldn’t find Miss Martinez, I’m afraid I’ll be without salary and bonus for the next year.”
However, it wasn’t this that truly made Simon sigh. It was merely a pretext.
He glanced at Leslie beside him and asked, “By the way… do you think Miss Martinez is actually angry or just throwing a tantrum?”
Leslie paused for a moment, then actually started to ponder seriously. But within a few. ‘seconds, he punched Simon and said, “Wait a minute, your question is no different from not asking at all. What do you mean by ‘angry or throwing a tantrum”?”
Of course, Simon was at a loss for alternate ways to phrase the question.
Was it truly necessary for him to ask about Miss Martinez’s intentions regarding leaving the boss? It seemed far from realistic. If he were to actually pose such a question, who could predict what kind of complications might arise as a result?
“Forget it, let’s not meddle in the affairs of a couple, especially when one of them is the boss,” Leslie sighed again. “With someone like the boss, we’ll never be able to understand their mindset. Instead of wasting time and energy on that, let’s think about how we’ll survive without our salaries and bonuses.”
Simon was left speechless. Indeed, he and Leslie had different perspectives, so they could only respect each other.
Just when Simon thought that they had run out of common topics, Leslie signed and said again, “By the way, Miss Martinez is quite capable. It has been about a month since she disappeared intermittently during this time.”
“She managed to evade my surveillance for a whole month. It’s simply impossible.”
“I remember she never had such a big temper before. Most of the time, the boss coula appease her with just a few casual words.”
“But this time, she seems to have taken it more seriously, otherwise she wouldn’t have done this.”
Simon didn’t say anything but he agreed what Leslie said.
After a Martinez?”

This was a question that many people had in their minds. But as for the answer, it seemed to be on the verge of being revealed!
If Benjamin didn’t like her, why would he act this way? Was it really important to him.
whether Martina was alive or not?
If he didn’t like her, how could Benjamin have put aside the important company affairs to search for her? Being a workaholic, he used to work tirelessly throughout the year, without taking any breaks. That was his accustomed routine.
And yet, the person who valued work the most was willing to give it up to search for Martina. Was the answer now clear enough?
Simon rubbed his nose and said, “Who knew…”
In fact, what he had wanted to say in his heart was that Benjamin probably liked her. But upon careful consideration, the boss had never truly admitted to liking Martina. All of this was just speculation in their minds.
Simon shared his opinions, “If the boss didn’t like her, he wouldn’t have let Miss Martinez stay at his home for so long, and even acknowledged her as his fiancée.”
“If the boss didn’t like her, he wouldn’t intentionally spend a lot of time and effort picking out gifts that he thinks she would like every time he goes on a business trip.”

The more they thought about it, the more firm their answer became.
However Even though Simon could see it clearly, if they were truly in a romantic relationship, they would definitely say “I love you” to each other.
That kind of deep love that was only suppressed in one’s heart was just a personal thought.
Love required expression; otherwise, how could they avoid misunderstandings with each other? Communication was crucial in ensuring a deeper understanding of their feelings.
Even though Martina loved the boss so deeply before, she couldn’t withstand it. And now… Martina seemed determined to leave.
“Well, we can only wait and see,” Simon signed.

Even though Martina loved the boss so deeply before, she couldn’t withstand it. And now… Martina seemed determined to leave.
“Well, we can only wait and see,” Simon signed.
At the same time, Benjamin remained silent, sitting there, while Martina could only lie silently in the hospital bed.
Later, it was Benjamin who took the initiative to lower his head and speak, “In your eyes, am I more despicable than a murderer?”
Martina paused for a moment, clearly having something to say, but at the tip of her tongue, she didn’t know how to say it. It was as if no matter how she said it, it would be inappropriate.
To say that Benjamin was a murderer was not yet at that level, but if asked to deny it, Martina has no way to deny it.
The damage inflicted by Benjamin upon her was far more devastating than that caused by a murderer.
Martina’s heart was slain, and Benjamin’s past actions strangely aligned with this statement in Martina’s perspective.
“But that doesn’t matter anymore,” After waiting for a while, Martina reluctantly replied with these words.
“So, is this the real reason you want to leave me?” Benjamin asked with a sudden a laughter that was light and devoid of any emotion.
To truly be able to leave him, she didn’t hesitate to set up a scheme with her best ‘friend, endure so much suffering. Even if it meant being trapped in a cellar without air, even if she clearly got seasick but still had to take the ship, all of this was just for the sake of leaving.
Benjamin had now realized that Martina’s current actions were completely premeditated. From the moment he issued the ultimatum, she had already made thorough preparations.
She was fully prepared to completely leave him, which was why she managed to disappear for a whole month without him being prepared for it.
This was the woman who used to only love him.
But now everything has vanished without a trace.
“Martina, what do you really want? I can fulfill anything except changing myself back to how I used to be,” Benjamin said the same sentence again.
Martina finally gave Benjamin a look and asked, “Benjamin, don’t you find it ridiculous? Why should I change into what you want me to be? Why do you think you can satisfy me? My only request now is to leave. Can you fulfill that for me?”
