Fleeing the Gilded Cage Don't Want to be the Billionaire's Wife novel Chapter 9

Benjamin thought carefully about the fragments, and confirmed that he really wanted to see Martina. Then he got up resolutely.

However, at this moment, his eyes noticed that something was missing from the white wall on his left.

"Who moved my study?" he asked.

The housemaid responsible for cleaning was summoned and meekly answered, "Miss Martinez moved it herself... That day, Miss Martinez stayed here for a while and seemed to have taken away a lot of things."

"What did she take?" asked Benjamin, eagerly.

"It seems to be a painting?" said the housemaid.

Benjamin finally figured it out. Yes, all the paintings Martina had painted for him had disappeared.

Looking at the once full wall now so empty, he suddenly became restless.

Simon, who had been following Benjamin all along, became increasingly uneasy and even began to have a bold speculation - it seemed that Martina was not so dispensable in the boss's heart?

...

Upon arriving home, Martina removed her high heels ungracefully and reclined on the sofa for a short period of time.

Her mood was not very good now, and whenever she interacted with the Walker family, it would affect her mood. But it didn't matter, she just needed to be more open-minded and make up her mind, the rest would be diluted by time.

As time passed, Martina still felt a little sad, especially since Simon's words were repeating in her head.

Did he really think Martina was only after pocket money? It was ridiculous.

Martina shook her head mockingly and buried herself in the pillow with a sullen face. Not long after, a slight weeping sound could be heard.

She couldn't pinpoint exactly when her fondness for Benjamin had transformed into this unhealthy level of obsession.

Martina held the belief that it wasn't necessarily wrong to harbor feelings for someone, even if it meant giving up everything for them.

But why did her infatuation turn into something so toxic? Was it because of her initial attraction that she had to bear so much pain and negativity?

Perhaps it was because Benjamin was too perfect and flawless, that no matter what Martina did, it was deemed wrong.

In the eyes of others, Martina was a manipulative person with ulterior motives. Even if she left the Walker family and started her own life, those people would still think that she was forcing a marriage or after money.

Martina clung to her pillow tightly and whispered to herself, "You can do this, Martina. You must hold on...and never look back."

Despite her bad mood, she still managed to make herself something to fill her stomach. Just as she sat down at the table, her phone vibrated twice.

Martina saw a message from Elena.

Elena: Hey little troublemaker, guess who called me just now?

Martina: Who?

Elena: It's the butler!(Elena sent a playful meme.)

Martina: He's looking for me? (Martina thought, the butler in the Walker family? He was scolded and yet he wanted one more time?)

Elena: Of course!

Tired of typing, Martina called back. She asked, "What could he want from me? Does he want to be scolded again?"

Elena didn't realize the important part and said, "You don't know how polite that old man was when he spoke to me. Today, he even called me Miss Rodríguez and subtly requested for me to give him your number!"

Martina's mind froze, and the fast food in front of her suddenly lost their flavor. She then asked, "Did you give it to him?"

Elena immediately became unhappy, "What the heck? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Of course not!"

Martina was satisfied and said, "That's my sister!"

"But I did give him a number."
