Chapter 25: The Best Friend Stayed Strong
Martina was still searching through her bag when she found the gift box she had prepared for her teacher. Inadvertently, she also took out a torn photo from her bag, which fell on the ground.
At that moment, Benjamin appeared, stepping on his high-end leather shoes, and his gaze gradually fell downwards. He happened to see the figure in the photo, and the chill around him became even stronger.
He saw who the two people in the photo were clearly. One of them was himself, and the other was apparently Martina. However, this photo that Martina had been particularly fond of had been torn in half, separating the two of them.
It was as if a bridgeless chasm had been drawn between the two, leaving them in a
state of parallel lines, able to see each other but unable to touch.
Benjamin struggled to find the right words to describe his current emotions. All he
knew was that he yearned to take this woman out and ask her everything he wanted to
know.
Why did she do this?
He had always said that if there were any complaints, she could openly express them, and he would do his best to solve them. So why was Martina still throwing a tantrum?
Even Ms. Bridge noticed Benjamin’s presence and gently patted Martina’s back, signaling her to look back.
But Martina didn’t need these hints. From the moment this man approached her, she already knew.
He was here, and he had even seen the photo she had destroyed.
Martina’s heart was in turmoil. She didn’t expect things to be so coincidental. But she didn’t plan on explaining anything.
On the contrary, Benjamin asked in a harsh tone, “You tore this photo?” It was more like a conviction than a question. Apart from Martina, no one else would dare to do so.
Martina subtly clenched her fist, trying to maintain her composure as she locked eyes with Benjamin, and admitted, “Yes.”
This simple word instantly sent Benjamin’s thoughts into a deep abyss.
If he had thought before that Martina was just throwing a little tantrum and could be pacified, he could now feel that Martina had really changed.
Martina was not throwing a tantrum, but really wanted to separate from him. Even if it was only a momentary possibility, it still caused a fatal pain in Benjamin’s heart.
Chapter 25: The Best Friend Stayed Strong
He couldn’t control his emotions and tightly grasped Martina’s wrist, his eyes turning red as he asked, ‘Are you really serious?”
This kind of ambiguous question can only be understood by the two people involved. Martina asked back without giving a clear answer, “Does Mr. Walker still think I’m joking?”
Benjamin applied a lot of force, his fingertips almost transparent.
Despite the pain she felt and her desire to cry, Martina made a conscious effort to
maintain control over her emotions. She was determined not to reveal her vulnerable side to
Benjamin, as she believed it would be a sign of weakness.
Elena was almost scared silly. Her good friend was so brave!
Seeing the interrogation from Benjamin, Martina could remain indifferent?!
After all, he was Benjamin, the one who dominated the business world, the one whom
no one dared to offend! Just a single glance could make one feel inferior and tremble, as if
death was just one second away.
Benjamin emphasized each word, “I’m asking you one last time, are you coming back.
with me or not?”
