Chapter 144: A Woman’s Intuition
This was Benjamin people were talking about! Why would he treat a woman like this? Were other women not worthy enough?! He used to show absolutely no interest in women! Not only that, he even seemed to despise them! He detested any woman getting close to
him!
The people who could stay by Benjamin’s side for a long time were almost all men! Strong men who could keep up with his pace!
Camille didn’t know how she managed to stay calm. Her face visibly turned sour, she
was on the verge of showing anger.
“Mr. Walker, this young lady must be Miss Martinez, right? The one Pierre mentioned earlier,” Camille said, picking up a bottle of wine and pouring a glass for Martina. She
smiled, but her smile seemed to be fabricated.
Yet, Camille managed to utter some kind words, “Miss Martinez, it’s our first time
meeting. I must say, you are truly stunning.”
And indeed it was!
Even though Martina didn’t make an effort to dress up, her looks were not inferior in
the slightest. Compared to Camille’s glamorous appearance, she appeared much more
composed, not even wearing makeup. However, her flawless skin, combined with her enchanting face, was incredibly captivating and unforgettable. Not to mention her well-
proportioned figure and those twinkling eyes, seemingly able to charm anyone’s soul.
But if anyone thought Martina was naive, they would be mistaken! She might appear
naive on the surface, but that didn’t mean she was naive.
After following Benjamin for so many years, she had learned things she wouldn’t have
before. It was just that the old Martina had been willing to bury all her talents while
following Benjamin. Now, she gradually realized that this was not the life she wanted, and
naturally, some irreversible changes were taking place.
Camille’s gaze still lingered on Martina, while also sensing Benjamin’s occasional glances at herself.
But Camille knew very well that the reason Benjamin even bothered to look at her was
all because of Martina. If Martina wasn’t treated this way by Benjamin, Camille would surely
like her.
However, now, Camille was jealous! Why couldn’t she be the one accompanying
Benjamin? She thought that as long as Benjamin wanted, she would gladly be that woman
by his side, even if it meant being behind the scenes.
However, Benjamin wouldn’t give any other women that chance. The reason was simple
apart from Martina, he didn’t want anyone else.
Chapter 144: A Woman’s Intuition
The reason he could keep Martina by his side like this was not because he needed any
women beside him, but because that woman was Martina.
Unfortunately, before this, others simply didn’t understand Benjamin’s intentions, so they had no idea why he acted this way. Some even found it perplexing.
Martina looked at Camille’s expression and took a closer look, fueled by her woman’s
intuition. She could sense that Camille liked Benjamin, and it was a genuine affection that
she couldn’t easily dismiss.
With that in mind, this meal today was probably not going to be simple!
Initially, Martina didn’t want to drink alcohol because, based on her memories, she
tended to do and say things she couldn’t understand when she got drunk.
She was not afraid of getting drunk and causing trouble; she was afraid of someone
reminding her of her actions when she was sober.
So, discreetly, Martina grabbed a new cup and poured herself some tea, saying, “You
must be Miss Moreau, right?”
On their way here, Simon had already given Martina a brief explanation of Camille’s
identity. They were going to have a meal together after all, and it would be awkward if
Martina didn’t even know Camille.
Simon always handled these details very well, which helped Benjamin a lot. Otherwise,
Martina would probably be at a loss about how to address Camille.
Speaking of which, Camille looked stunning too. She had the kind of wild beauty that
catched the eye–big wavy hair, fiery red lips, and exquisite makeup–clearly a strong and
powerful woman. It was hard to imagine what kind of man would be her final choice.
Now, Martina smiled slightly and said, “I can’t handle wine well, so I’ll have tea instead.
Let me offer you a toast.”
Camille’s face stiffened, and if it weren’t for Benjamin still being present, she would have lost her temper for sure!
She rarely spoke to others like this or even offered a toast voluntarily. Today, she did it
to challenge Martina.
It would be best to get Martina drunk. Otherwise, how could Camille find her
opportunity to take back her dignity?
Camille was not willing to give up so easily and wanted to trip Martina up as much as
possible!
Ignoring Martina’s toast, Camille quickly changed the topic, “Do you dislike me? So
you’re unwilling to have a drink with me, right?”
Completely terrified, Pierre was drenched in sweat. Wasn’t he warning the boss on their Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
way here not to act recklessly? But now, the boss seemed to have thrown all caution to the wind. What was going on? Was she going crazy?!
“Boss –” In private, Pierre desperately tugged at Camille’s clothes, trying to get her to sober up.
If they angered Benjamin, would there be any chance of cooperation left? They wouldn’t be able to afford the penalty for breaking the contract! Benjamin’s family and business were on a grand scale, way beyond what their small company can handle!
Camille understood Pierre’s intentions but still didn’t want to listen.
Martina’s eyebrows twitched, and before she could speak, Benjamin said, “Is this your way of hospitality?”
With just one sentence, Camille felt like she had been struck by lightning, and she couldn’t bring herself to say anything more. This was Benjamin! Wasn’t his meaning obvious enough just now??
Camille’s expression was somewhat embarrassed, and Pierre quickly intervened to smooth things over. “Well, boss, I’ve already said that Martina shouldn’t drink. I know you love drinking and making friends, but you can’t do this!”
Pierre was almost in tears. Could anyone get the normal boss back? Why did she become a different person every time she see Mr. Walker? And it was Pierre who felt uneasy at last.
