Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)

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 had laid 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.

Nicolas came in with the financial statements in high spirits. He tossed the report at her desk and said, Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

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

know you have the potential of being a capitalist."

Madelyn read the financial statements with an indifferent expression.

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

so difficult? Do you lack 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 dollars will be deducted from your salary this

month."

Nicolas 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.

Nicolas 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.

Nicolas 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 party last night and stayed there until three

o'clock in the morning. You were one hour late this morning. Nicolas, if you do this again, you don't

have to work here."

Nicolas felt guilty.

He did go to a party last night, but she couldn't blame 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 partying last night, he was energetic.

Nicolas 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 Nicola 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 black shirt and a grey tie under his black 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 glancing 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 Nicolas 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 place 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 we come 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 glass 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 display her dignity.

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

Nicolas.

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

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

come here to talk about the old times."

"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 glass of Digestif and said lightly, "Do you want me to help Vivian and Grayson?

But Madelyn, you don't know that Jackson has come 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 place at a high-end restaurant.

Madelyn was annoyed.

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

Benjamin raised his goblet quietly and smiled. "Ms. Green, to be honest, I come 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 her composure 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."
