Chapter 16 Ask Her Out for a Drink Tonight
After work.
Benjamin declined several invitations and drove to the restaurant.
At 8 p.m., the restaurant's best hour, Madelyn sat before the piano and played.
Tonight she wore a long, grey dress that showed a little of her shoulders, and her long, tawny hair hung
soft around her waist.
It was very beautiful and romantic.
Benjamin looked through the glass for about ten minutes, then got out of the car, pushed the door and
walked in.
He ordered something casually, and just sat there and listened to Madelyn play.
Benjamin noticed that from time to time, decent men came to talk to her. Presumably they were
attracted by Madelyn.
Madelyn always said no politely.
During a break, Madelyn received a business card.
[Bravo Legal Firm, Attorney Benjamin]
Madelyn was stunned. She turned over and saw Benjamin.
He was sitting in the corner with a glass of aperitif in his hand. He was good-looking, and his simple
movements were very attractive.
Madelyn didn't want to have anything to do with him, but she was even more afraid to offend him.
She went over anyway.
"Mr. Clark."
Benjamin nodded and motioned her to sit down. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
As soon as Madelyn sat down, Benjamin saw the eye of a new needle on the back of her hand. He
guessed that it was because she got wet last night.
"Have Ms. Green eaten? Take some."
Benjamin was serious and polite. There was no sign of disrespect and rudeness he showed when he
just thrown his card.
Madelyn placed his business card on the table, and said with a touch of restraint, "There is a rule that
we should not to eat with guests during business hours."
Benjamin ignored that card.
He asked her bluntly, "What about after work? Does Ms. Green have time to come over for a drink?"
It was clear what he meant.
If she dated him, she would get out of this mess and not have to worry about money.
It was just a game. He thought Madelyn was with Daniel, so she wouldn't mind being someone else.
And Madelyn had feelings when they hugged the last two times.
Madelyn didn't even think about it.
She didn't know why Benjamin was interested in her suddenly and bothered her.
She knew her situation and chose her words so as not to offend him. "Mr. Clark, I really appreciate your
help with my dad. I'll find a way to pay you back later."
Benjamin was surprised.
He thought he knew what she meant. She would not have sex with him.
Money didn't impress Madelyn!
Having sex with Madelyn was not necessary for Benjamin. He was just slightly touched by the way she
played the piano. Besides, men had bad instincts. They always thought of women who they didn't have
sex with occasionally.
Benjamin put away his card. He let it go like a gentleman.
Madelyn whispered thanks and was so humble.
When it was a little awkward, David came with a little girl aged 16 or 17.
"Benjamin!"
David called warmly, without any of the tension between rivals in love.
Benjamin motioned, and David dared to sit down. As soon as he sat down, he introduced his sister to
Madelyn. "This is my sister Florence, a talent girl. And all she needs is a good piano teacher! Madelyn,
take her!"
Madelyn was embarrassed by those words!
Benjamin didn't care about David's intention. He pulled out his wallet, took out about 2,000 dollars and
pressed it on the table. "Ms. Green has something to do, so I'll leave now."
Madelyn walked him to the restaurant door as a courtesy.
Benjamin didn't linger. He got into the car and nodded to her, then he left.
She was reserved. She didn't look like the woman who looked for poker games.
