From the writer: Thanks for the gift of hot air balloon from User4837064140. This chapter is updated for her
Benjamin couldn’t figure out what had happened exactly. What caused such a drastic change in Martina’s attention and demeanor towards him, even though he hadn’t done
anything?
When it was time for lunch in the afternoon, Benjamin almost arrived on time to deliver
the meal.
To be honest, Martina was really hungry. She hadn’t eaten anything all day, and the chicken soup and porridge on the table had already turned cold. So Martina didn’t eat.
Right now, all she could feel was the rumbling in her stomach, and she didn’t seem to care much about anything else. After all, no matter how things turned out, the result would
be the same.
Watching Benjamin awkwardly carrying another new lunchbox into the ward, Martina’s stomach growled even louder.
As the saying goes, “A full belly makes a happy heart.” Moreover, Martina hadn’t eaten for two meals already, so she didn’t bother with formalities anymore.
Regardless of her desire to leave, she knew she had to take care of her health. After all, food was fuel for her revolution, and only when her body was well could she came up with more solutions.
Martina didn’t care about what was inside the lunchbox. Instead, she politely said, “Thank you.” Regardless of their past or present relationship, Martina had never thanked Benjamin before.
Never expected to hear those two words, Benjamin suddenly felt even worse.
At the same time, Simon hurriedly entered the room, probably with something to report
to Benjamin.
As soon as he walked in, he saw Martina silently eating by herself, completely ignoring
his boss.
Simon couldn’t help but take another glance at Martina, not because of her appearance but because Martina’s recent behavior and way of handling things had already earned the respect and admiration of everyone.
Benjamin had already removed her makeup that resembled a color palette from her face, or it would have been a disaster.
To be honest, Simon couldn’t understand why a person’s transformation could be so
drastic.
It was quite remarkable that Martina, who used to make several phone calls a day,
could now restrain herself from such behavior. Anyone who knew Martina could clearly see the significant changes she had undergone, not only in her appearance but also in her inner
essence.
The transformation should have been truly commendable. However, things had become completely different, even to the point where the boss and Miss Martinez were on the verge
of confrontation.
It was fortunate that the boss still had some rationality left, preventing a direct conflict
between the two.
This could be considered a fortunate turn of events amidst the unfortunate
circumstances. Otherwise, it would have been much more difficult to explain and resolve the
situation on the spot.
As Simon entered, he whispered in Benjamin’s ear for quite some time. It was unclear exactly what he was saying, but it was safe to assume that it was related to the company’s
business.
Since Simon deliberately lowered their voice, indicating their unwillingness for Martina to hear, Martina didn’t want to be nosy and didn’t say anything.
For dinner, they had a bowl of porridge and a plate of vegetables, which might have been a bit plain. Martina probably had the urge to devour a whole cow in one go once she was discharged from the hospital.
As per Benjamin’s plan, their intention was to leave the hospital once Martina had finished her meal. With Martina’s health showing significant improvement, apart from feeling a bit weak and requiring some rest, there were no other concerns.
Recently, Benjamin neglected his responsibilities at the company in his search for
Martina.
Many executives in the company were extremely displeased with this and even wanted to impeach Benjamin.
Now that Benjamin had finally found Martina, he was determined to find a way to meet and continue their conversation, no matter what.
Perhaps it was because Martina had returned by his side, but Benjamin inexplicably felt a great sense of relief.
Regarding the matters at the company, as long as Benjamin took action, there was nothing that couldn’t be resolved. It might just take a bit more time.
Martina was taken away abruptly, without any chance for discussion or consideration. It
was a spontaneous departure.
This time, Benjamin seemed determined. He kept a close eye on Martina’s every wishing he could keep her by his side at all times.
Throughout this period of observation, Simon lacked confidence in his ability to make judgments.
To be honest, he hadn’t held Martina in high regard before. It wasn’t because she wasn’t attractive, but rather because she was too attractive, causing people to overlook her talents.
Martina had been perceived as nothing more than a decorative object, a flower vase. In the past, this flower vase would immediately switch into various modes and strive for favor whenever she saw her owner.
Unfortunately, none of her attempts were successful, and instead, she ended up causing trouble for herself.
The fact that Martina could remain so calm while dealing with her boss was a significant change in her. Simon truly saw many qualities in Martina that he had never witnessed before.
It was evident to anyone that Martina had changed and had become quite formidable. It was clear that she disliked the people around Benjamin, including every single one of
them!
In the past, she would eagerly approach the members of her assistant team, fearing that they might jeopardize Benjamin’s relationship with her. She would even go out of her way to please them, giving away precious items as if she was handing out bubble gum. It was just an attempt to win favor for herself, but who would have known that she would end up in such a predicament.
Simon probably understood why the boss stayed by Martina’s bedside all night yesterday and kept watching her.
Simon put himself in the boss’s shoes and thought about the reasons behind such behavior. If something like this were to happen to him, he would be difficult to accept and even lead to self-doubt.
No wonder the boss’s reaction was so intense. The stark contrast between the past. and present was too significant. How could the boss easily accept it?
The previous Martina was so amazing that it made everyone jealous, but that was only because of her status and personality.
As a result, those people wanted to bully her, believing that she was only after Benjamin’s wealth.
How could a duck try to become a swan? Didn’t Martina act too ambitiously?
People were eager to get close and trample on her. Simon had witnessed similar
situations in the past.
Eventually, those people became more cunning, making sure not to reveal their true
However, that didn’t mean Martina would compromise or give up just because she was
It was evident to everyone that Martina had cherished Benjamin in the past, yet now it seemed as if all those expressions of care had vanished in an instant.
