    Chapter 127: Avoid the Ufortable Silence


    Martina thought the conversation was over, but to her surprise, Elena decided to call


    her directly.


    Apanied by Elena’s sharp voice, it seemed like she was genuinely shocked. “Martina, is that


    true?! Are you serious?”


    Martina discreetly nced at Benjamin and lowered her voice quite a bit, so as not to be heard. “Yeah.


    Of course, it’s true.”


    Elena screamed, “When did you guys decide? Howe I didn’t know about it? This is


    so sudden!”


    Yesterday was the weekend, so Martina didn’t go to work, which naturally meant she didn’t meet Elena.


    As for the decision, they had actually made it the night before.


    Martina felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Sorry, I forgot to tell you for personal reasons. Actually, we


    had already decided the night before yesterday.”


    “So, what exactly happened after you guys went back that night?” Elena didn’t pay much


    attention to it and instead asked in a gossipy tone. “Did you…you know, get intimate?”


    It must be said that Elena was daring enough to say such things, and it instantly made


    Martina blush!


    What on earth was she thinking? Throughout the entire time, Martina never had such


    thoughts, okay?


    “What nonsense are you thinking?” Martina could only lower her voice.


    Although their voices weren’t particrly loud, it still caught Benjamin’s attention.


    Benjamin had good hearing to begin with, and he couldn’t escape hearing their


    discussion about him and Martina.


    Despite Elena’s usual gossipy tone that would typically make him angry, a faint smile tugged at the


    corners of his mouth this time.


    “I wasn’t thinking any nonsense. It’s just that you’ve changed so much!” Elena said. “You


    were desperate to leave Benjamin before, and now you’re willing to go on a business trip


    with him. Doesn’t that mean something?”


    Martina suddenly fell silent because Elena was right.


    How did she end up an agreement with Benjamin? Initially, she was really conflicted. Maybe it was


    because of Benjamin’s demeanor when he came every day, or maybe


    Martina’s mind went nk, but in any case, she ended up agreeing to this.


    They were almost at the airport, and even if Martina wanted to back out, it was too


    Due to Benjamin being present, Martina couldn’t express herself too explicitly. She could only imply it


    subtly. “Elena, if there’s anything, let’s talk about it when Ie back. If there are any work–rted


    matters these days, just send them to me. I can work remotely. Gotta go now.”


    Elena curled her lips and said, “Oh dear, even before you leave, you’re already finding me to be a third


    wheel. But it’s okay. Considering how suddenly this rtionship of you two future lovebirds is about to


    break the ice and reconcile, I won’t be your third wheel anymore. You guys go for it!”


    “Anyway, Martina, just remember that no matter what choices you make, I’ll always be by your side and


    support you forever. Just trust me. Bye–bye!” Elena hang up the phone.


    Perhaps it was because of Elena’s words that genuinely pleased Benjamin, and the coldness in his


    demeanor melted away. She finally said something rtively friendly, so he let go of his resentment


    towards her.


    Martina had no idea what was going on in Benjamin’s mind; otherwise, she would definitely burst into


    laughter uncontrobly.


    To be honest, sometimes Benjamin didn’t seem as annoying as before. At least now he had learned to


    consider other people’s feelings, rather than just being concerned about his


    own emotions.

    After Martina hung up the phone, she heard Benjamin say next to her, “Finished talking?”


    It was obvious, and Martina had no reason to lie. “Yeah, Elena just found out today that


    I’m not going to the studio, so she asked a few more questions,” Martina exined,


    although she didn’t know why she suddenly felt the need to exin. In truth, whether she


    said it or not didn’t make a difference. But in the end, Martina still said it.


    Benjamin nodded slightly, “Alright then.”


    A brief silence settled between them, perhaps because neither of them took the


    initiative to find a topic of conversation.


    Simon was getting anxious, wishing he could speak up for his boss. This was not the


    time for an awkward silence, otherwise, all their previous efforts would be in vain, right?


    Simon racked his brain and finally came up with another reasonable topic. “Miss


    Martinez, I heard that the scenery in Carlsbad is beautiful, and there are many ces to


    visit. I’ve prepared a travel guide for you. I just sent it to your and the boss’s phones. Feel


    free to take a look and let me know if there are any changes you’d like.”


    As expected, Martina was intrigued because she really wanted to go and see that ce. It was almost


    an obsession for her.


    Before, she had hoped that Benjamin could apany her on the trip, but there had never been an


    opportunity, and she gradually gave up on the idea. Now that she fina

    a chance, she couldn’t afford to miss it. Otherwise, it would be a waste of her time and


    thoughts.


    “Thank you. You’re really kind,” Martina politely replied.


    Simon shook his head and said, “You’re wee. It’s my responsibility. I think both of you should take


    another look and discuss it. If there’s anything you don’t like, I can make changes in advance.”


    Actually, whether or not they made changes wasn’t important. What mattered to Simon. was to avoid


    the ufortable silence. After all, what was the point of going out if they were just going to be cold to


    each other?


    Normally, the boss and Miss Martinez didn’t have manymon topics. If they didn’t even have


    common topics when going out together, then nothing could save the situation.


    Benjamin saw through Simon’s thoughts. Aside from a brief moment of confusion, he quickly caught


    on. He took out his phone and indeed found that Simon had sent the travel guide before they got in the


    car.


    The reason why Simon was able to work by Benjamin’s side for such a long time was not only because


    he was intelligent and capable but also because he was perceptive.


    On numerous asions, a single nce from Benjamin was enough for Simon toprehend his


    intentions, resulting in significant time savings. If it had been someone else, they probably wouldn’t


    have had such understanding, which was why Simon was able to stay by Benjamin’s side without being


    reced.


    With a quick nce at the travel guide, Benjamin noticed that the itinerary was meticulously scheduled,


    almost to the extent of specifying activities every few minutes.
