Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)

Chapter 104 When She Sees Benjamin with Someone Else

They stepped out of the concert hall.

A tinge of regret still lingered in Madelyn's heart...

Florence grabbed her hand and said, "Ms. Green, I'm starving."

Madelyn knew a nice Zistin restaurant that was just across the street, so she took Florence there.

Florence was only 14 years old and seldom had such an opportunity to eat in a fancy restaurant, so she was particularly thrilled.

As they entered the restaurant, to their surprise, they bumped into Madelyn's bedfellow who claimed he had to work overtime tonight.

It was Benjamin!

He was having dinner with a sophisticated and elegant woman. Madelyn had seen this woman before. Benjamin had dined with her at the restaurant where Madelyn played the piano. Their relationship...

Madelyn couldn't stop thinking about it!

Benjamin had told her he would be working late tonight, and now she knew what the work was about.

On the table, there were several neatly arranged document files put aside.

At that moment, Benjamin held a glass of brandy with a charming smile and looked like he was having a good time.

The woman was also smiling.

She said in a gentle and seductive voice, "Ben, I'm looking forward to our next collaboration."

Benjamin subtly furrowed his brow.

The woman was the widow of a wealthy businessman in Gartown who had suddenly passed away, leaving behind tens of billions of inheritance. Benjamin had helped her win the estate case... Their relationship was far from being so close that she could address him by his first name.

Just as Benjamin was about to speak, he caught sight of Madelyn.

Madelyn was sitting next to Owen's little daughter, Florence.

Had Madelyn gone to the concert with Florence?

Seeing him lost in thought, the woman prodded him again, "Ben?"

Benjamin nodded politely and said, "Just a moment, please."

He got up and walked over to Madelyn's table, taking a seat beside her. He asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

Madelyn flipped through the menu and replied, "I didn't feel like having fried chicken today. I want to try something different."

That sounded jealous!

Benjamin lightly tapped the table and explained, "She's just a client."

Madelyn glanced over, and the woman was also squinting at her, clearly treating her as a rival.

Madelyn was no fool.

She heard the woman call him Ben, and it clear that besides their professional relationship, the woman liked him. And it seemed that Benjamin didn't discourage those thoughts, otherwise, they wouldn't be discussing work in the restaurant.

Madelyn looked away and helped Florence order the food.

Benjamin put his hand on the menu and stopped her from looking at it. He was rarely so rude in public.

Madelyn remained composed and said, "Don't scare the child!"

Benjamin looked at Florence.

Florence was staring at him, leaving Benjamin at a loss for words... He took a deep glance at Madelyn again.

She calmly placed her order, as if she didn't care about it at all.

Benjamin lowered his voice and said, "Let's talk about it later when we get home." With these words, he gracefully returned to his seat.

The beautiful widow gazed at him affectionately and asked, somewhat awkwardly, "Ben, are they your friends?"

Benjamin took a sip of brandy and lied, "They are my wife and my daughter."

The widow was shocked.

Benjamin, who was less than 30, already got married and had a daughter?

But Benjamin seemed too young to be her father!

Benjamin didn't want to be pestered by her, so he just turned her down. If it weren't for the encounter with Madelyn, he would have handled it more tactfully... After all, the commission was 2 billion dollars. The woman was also proud and could sense that Benjamin wasn't interested in her.

She ended the business dinner, bid her farewell and left.

Benjamin escorted her to her car and shook her hand, saying, "Ms. Yarrow, goodbye."

As she held onto the car door, she said to him with a gloomy face, "It's a pity that Mr. Clark is married at such a young age..."

Benjamin just smiled as he gallantly held the car door for her.

She had to get into the car.

Benjamin was about to return to the restaurant when a Land Rover abruptly pulled up in front of him.

The car door was opened, and David hopped out of the car...
