Chapter 198 Come Back to Me


    Chapter 198 Come Back to Me


    After Madelyn spoke, Benjamin was silent for a long while.


    They could hear the soft breathing of each other. Gradually, Benjamin''s breathing grew heavier.


    However, he said indifferently, "Okay."


    He asked her to meet him in a French restaurant in the evening, but Madelyn refused and said in a low


    voice, "Let''s have a talk in your office."


    Benjamin didn''t say a word. Evidently, he didn''t like the idea.


    As Madelyn was asking for his help, she gave in. "Okay."


    ...


    After hanging up the phone, Madelyn fell into deep thought.


    She was forced to get in touch with Benjamin. She was well aware that he wouldn''t help her if she


    didn''t give him anything. Perhaps he hadid the trap for her long ago.


    Benjamin was not someone she could beat...


    Disturbed with the prospect of meeting him in the evening, Madelyn was absent-minded the whole day.


    Nics came in with the financial statements in high spirits. He tossed the report at her desk and said,


    "That guy you newly recruited is amazing. Dominic ispetent, and his sry is not high. I didn''t


    know you have the potential of being a capitalist."


    Madelyn read the financial statements with an indifferent expression.


    Nics sat on her desk and looked at her carefully. "You''re not happy with the big profits? Why are you


    so difficult? Do youck love? Shall I satisfy you? I promise you will get addicted to me and forget


    about Benjamin right away."


    Madelyn closed the report and said, "One thousand dors will be deducted from your sry this


    month."


    Nics roared, "Why?"


    "You disturbed your boss."


    "Damn it. Many girls want me to disturb them, but I don''t bother to do that."


    ...


    Madelyn ignored him. She asked him for a cigarette and lit it, putting it on the table and staring at the


    burning cigarette.


    Nics knew something was disturbing her.


    "Why do you inhale secondhand smoke?"


    "What''s troubling you? Why not make love with me? You''ll forget about all your problems."


    ...


    Madelyn asked him to get out.


    Nics was angry and aggrieved. "I''m worried about you. Don''t be ungrateful."


    Madelyn looked at him calmly. "I heard that you went to a partyst night and stayed there until three


    o''clock in the morning. You were one hourte this morning. Nics, if you do this again, you don''t


    have to work here."


    Nics felt guilty.


    He did go to a partyst night, but she couldn''t me him. Since he came to Gredax, he lived like a


    monk. Moreover, he saw Madelyn''s cold face every day, and he was bored with his life.


    After partyingst night, he was energetic.


    Nics said hesitantly, "I''m not that into parties. There''s nothing new about parties."


    Madelyn didn''t want to interfere with his private life, as long as it didn''t affect his work.


    She didn''t ask Nic to drive her to the French restaurant in the evening.


    ...


    When Madelyn got out of the taxi, she saw Benjamin waiting for her at the gate.


    The lobby of the restaurant had a romantic touch.


    Benjamin was dressed formally.


    He was wearing a ck shirt and a grey tie under his ck tailored three-piece suits.


    He had a great figure with broad shoulders and a slender waist. Moreover, he looked elegant, and


    passersby couldn''t help ncing at him.


    Madelyn couldn''t help taking a deep look at him, but she soon restrained herself.


    Benjamin went up to him and said with brooding eyes, "Why didn''t you ask Nics to drive you here?


    I''ll pick you up if it''s not convenient for you next time."


    Madelyn wanted to say they wouldn''t meet again, but she remembered that she was asking for his


    help, so she checked herself from saying that.


    She forced a smile and said, "It''s convenient to take a taxi."


    Benjamin didn''t say anything else and led her into the restaurant.


    He had reserved the whole restaurant. He might want to have a quiet ce to talk, but that put


    pressure on Madelyn, who sat down and said softly, "You don''t have to do this."


    Benjamin didn''t care about the food and asked her to order.


    He held the aperitif and took a small sip, smiling slightly. "Madelyn, we have been together for so long,


    but we don''t seem to go on a date like this often. It''s nice here. Shall wee here more often?"


    Madelyn ordered two sets of dinners.


    She thanked the waiter and looked at Benjamin, who leaned against the chair and gazed at her.


    He was so handsome!


    He was more dazzling than the luxurious crystal chandelier.


    Madelyn took a sip of water and said with difficulty, "It''s about Grayson and Vivian. I''d like..."


    Benjamin put down the ss and rubbed it gently with his slender fingers as if he was caressing a


    woman, but he looked elegant and decent.


    He chuckled softly and said, "Let''s talk about business after dinner."


    Madelyn didn''t have any appetite, but she forced herself to eat a bit. She didn''t want to make him think


    that she hadn''t moved on. Although she asked for his help now, she had to disy her dignity.


    Benjamin looked more at ease than her. He asionally asked about her work and even mentioned


    Nics.


    However, he didn''t talk about the divorce of Vivian and Jackson.


    Half an hourter, Madelyn couldn''t stand it. She put down her knife and fork. "Mr. rk, we don''t


    "I know!"


    He looked at her with deep eyes and asked her softly, "What do you want to say?"


    What could she say?


    Benjamin picked up a ss of Digestif and said lightly, "Do you want me to help Vivian and Grayson?


    But Madelyn, you don''t know that Jackson hase to me and offered a high price to hire me with the


    case. It is worth almost one-third of his properties. I refused him, so I helped Vivian in some way."


    After he spoke, he started to sip the Digestif and size her up.


    Madelyn believed what he said.


    Benjamin took a neutral position and helped neither Jackson nor Vivian. He waited for her to beg him.


    What a scheming and cunning man!


    Madelyn was silent for a long time.


    Benjamin suddenly chuckled and said, "It''s strange. Grayson knocked Vivian up right after they got


    together. We did it many times, but why didn''t you get pregnant?"


    His words were out of ce at a high-end restaurant.


    Madelyn was annoyed.


    She stifled her anger and said, "Mr. rk, I''m serious."


    Benjamin raised his goblet quietly and smiled. "Ms. Green, to be honest, Ie to seduce you tonight.


    Aren''t you tempted?"

    Madelyn couldn''t help looking at him.


    He was indeed gorgeous.


    He took her breath away.


    Madelyn looked away awkwardly, but Benjamin suddenly got serious and said earnestly, "I don''t want


    to say this in such an atmosphere, but if you want my answer, I''ll tell you. Come back to me, and I''ll


    help Vivian get the divorce."


    Madelyn''s chest heaved up and down.


    She was prepared for it, but she lost herposure anyway. Her eyes turned red, and so did her


    delicate nose. The pink touch on her fair face made her look lovely.


    She rose from the chair and said expressionlessly, "Impossible."


    "Really?"


    Benjamin said indifferently, "What a pity."


    Her refusal didn''t ruffle him. Instead, he said gently, "Eat more food. You seem to have lost much


    weight."


    Madelyn closed her eyes slightly and said, "Benjamin, you''re a jerk."


    He calmly wiped his lips with a serviette and said softly, "Yeah, I''ll wait for you, Madelyn. I told you I


    came to seduce you tonight."
