Chapter 151 Benjamin, I Don't Want You!
Chapter 151 Benjamin, I Don't Want You!
The next day, Madelyn finished work early. There was a cultural banquet tonight, and both she and Bryson received invitations, agreeing to meet at the hotel.
The receptionist smiled. "Ms. Green, you look beautiful today!"
Madelyn was in a good mood. She entered the elevator but froze as soon as she stepped inside. Benjamin was there. He leaned against the elevator wall, his face indifferent, as if he had been waiting for a while.
Madelyn instinctively wanted to leave, but Benjamin acted faster. With a bang...
Her body was forced against the elevator wall. Madelyn dared not move because Benjamin's arm was blocking her chest, and any movement would be like offering herself to be played with by him. She could only stare at him and say, "Mr. Clark, what is this supposed to be?"
Benjamin's gaze was intense. "Are you dressed like this to attend the banquet? With Bryson?"
Madelyn restrained her anger as much as possible. "Mr. Clark, we've already broken up. It's my freedom to attend the banquet with whomever I want to be in a relationship with."
Benjamin let go of Madelyn and took a step back. "Do you like him? Were you as happy with him as we were?"
"Madelyn, I don't believe you've forgotten about me!"
Madelyn's eyes turned red. She did indeed spend a very sweet time with Benjamin, and during that period, she was immersed in the charm of a mature man. Fame and desire brought her great excitement. Madelyn thought that all girls couldn't resist such a gentle man and would easily fall in love with Benjamin.
He never gave up, only wanting her body. When she asked if he loved her, he said, "Madelyn, I'm sorry, I can't give you what you want!"
In fact, it wasn't he couldn't give his love. He didn't want to give!
Madelyn felt extremely embarrassed. "Benjamin, it's you who doesn't want me. Is there any point in saying these things now?"
The elevator made a low, heavy sound as it descended. Time felt long and unbearable. After a while, Benjamin spoke, his voice hoarse and unrecognizable.
"Madelyn, I want you!"
Madelyn suddenly looked up, staring at him intensely.
Benjamin said again, "I want you!"
Madelyn's face turned pale. She couldn't feel happy but rather felt sad.
"Benjamin... You're saying you want me now just because I'm with Bryson! If I hadn't started dating him, or if I were still single, you would only want to play truth or dare with me in some private room or want to meet me when you feel like it!"
Madelyn's fair nose turned pink. Her voice became even sadder. "You don't like me. It's just your ego at work."
Coincidentally, the elevator door opened.
Madelyn walked out directly. She walked fast, as if she were avoiding something...
It had been some time since she broke up with Benjamin, but he was her first man after all, and that short period of just over a month was so vivid.
Every night, she pleaded in the master bedroom...
How could she easily forget?
Madelyn got into her car, and her hands holding the steering wheel trembled.
At that moment, she hated Benjamin more than when he said he couldn't give!
What was he playing at?
Saying he didn't want her and then wanting her when he was nostalgic...
What was she to him?
What!?
But there was no moment that made her realize more clearly than now that she still liked Benjamin!
Madelyn leaned back in her seat, feeling weak all over.
The car door opened.
Benjamin stood outside the car, and in a hoarse voice, he said, "Madelyn, I'm sorry!"
He wanted to touch her.
But she reflexively slapped him in the face...
A slap.
They both froze.
Madelyn covered her hot palm and apologized softly, "Mr. Clark, I'm sorry."
Benjamin didn't care about his own face. He still held onto the car door and deliberately lowered his voice. "You're not in a condition to drive right now. I'll take you there." How could Madelyn agree?
They hesitated for a while, and Benjamin used some force to pull Madelyn out and also took her coat in passing.
She wore a light purple dress inside her coat, with a slender waist.
Beautiful.
Benjamin glanced at her for a few seconds, then helped her put on the coat and fastened each button.
"If you don't want me to take you, then take a taxi!
"Don't drive."
Madelyn was not in a good state, and he felt a bit sorry for her. At the same time, as a mature man, he knew that Madelyn still had feelings for him.
At least for now, Bryson hadn't surpassed him.
That was why Bryson didn't stay in her apartment last night.
Benjamin hailed a taxi. He escorted Madelyn into the car and, just as the car door was about to close, he gently said, "Have fun."
Actually, he had planned to go too.
As the top of the competitive males, he was going to confront Bryson head-on.
But that would embarrass Madelyn.
So Benjamin suppressed his intentions and decided to take it slow...
Madelyn sat in the backseat of the taxi.
Crying hysterically...
Madelyn didn't want to cry because of Benjamin, as it wasn't worth it, but he had the ability to make her cry.
The taxi driver was quite talkative...
"Had a fight with your boyfriend?
"Hey! That guy just now was really good-looking, and he seemed rich too.
"Don't cry, girl! This man is just a jerk... If you give him the cold shoulder, he'll immediately put away that undeserved sense of superiority and come crawling to you like a dog! Don't doubt it, I was young once too..."
Madelyn was at a loss for words, caught between laughing and crying from what she heard. She wiped away her tears and silently looked out of the car window.
It took her half an hour to remove Benjamin's impact on her, and then she had a perfect evening.
Madelyn arrived at the banquet hall.
Bryson hadn't arrived yet, but she did see Grayson with Vivian.
They were dressed as a couple, hugging and dancing...
Vivian naturally attracted attention due to her status, and there were whispers and pointing fingers, while Grayson was known for his playboy reputation in Gredax. Madelyn was worried that Vivian would cause trouble.
She stood in a corner of the banquet hall for a while when her phone rang.
It was Grayson calling.
He apologized over the phone, saying that he might not be able to make it tonight due to some unexpected situation at home.
Madelyn had mixed feelings, thinking that it was just as well not to see him tonight.
After hanging up the phone, Madelyn was about to tell Vivian that they should leave early. But as she looked up, a fight broke out in the middle of the dance floor. The main participants were Grayson and Jackson.
Jackson had come over wearing casual clothes, clearly appearing to have come on a whim. He and Grayson were jealous of each other, and they started fighting! Grayson had training and was physically strong, while Jackson was no match for him.
It didn't take long for Jackson to be beaten up, blood splattering everywhere.
Women in the banquet hall screamed.
And the female protagonist, Vivian, just stood there coldly, as if Jackson wasn't her husband at all!
This banquet was hosted by the leading figures of the Gredax literary world.
The situation had escalated to such an extent that even the hotel security had been mobilized.
Grayson gained fame through the fight with Jackson.
The incident made a big splash, dominating the headlines of Gredax, and it couldn't be suppressed... Vivian's reputation was in ruins.
