Chapter 189 Popular Nicolas
Madelyn's words dripped with sarcasm.
Benjamin felt his heart aching. He lowered his head and, after a long pause, he called out her name, "Madelyn..."
Madelyn made no response.
She tore the document into pieces silently.
Then, she looked at him as if he were a stranger and said, "Benjamin, I hope you'll keep your promise!"
He gazed at her, as he made a phone call to put an end to all the suppression against Oralas Technologies.
It was over...
Benjamin watched her back and wanted to reach out and touch her, but Madelyn's body stiffened instantly. He withdrew his hand and said with a forced smile, "I won't touch you! Madelyn, could you make me a meal?"
Madelyn didn't respond.
Benjamin couldn't help but hug her from behind. He rested his chin on her shoulder and muttered, "Please make me a meal. It's been so long since I had a proper meal. I can't sleep well at night when you're not by my side."
He was always... thinking of her!
Madelyn pushed him away.
She stood in the dark by the window and spoke in a hushed tone, "Benjamin, when I wanted to love you with all my heart, you didn't give me a chance. Now I don't want it anymore! And... I can never see David again, but I cannot be with you anymore. If you try to force me, I won't mind perishing together!"
She turned her head and said, "Mr. Clark, I believe public figures like you value their privacy, and even a single slip could tarnish your impeccable image, don't you think?" Benjamin wasn't surprised.
After spending so much time together, it was natural for her to know some things. Of course, if those things were revealed to the public, they wouldn't cause much harm. But now, seeing her so furious, he was willing to take a step back.
"I'll leave now... Remember to have your meal!" His tone was gentle as if he had changed into a tender and affectionate lover, and the threats from earlier tonight had never happened. Before he left, Benjamin lightly caressed her back.
Madelyn froze and found his touch disgusted.
He paused and said in a husky voice, "Madelyn, I know you resent me, but I don't regret it!"
Madelyn sneered.
Of course, he had no regrets because he hadn't lost anything...
The next day, Madelyn went to the Music Center and immersed herself in work.
Benjamin called several times, but she didn't answer.
He often sent flowers and ordered exquisite meals from fancy restaurants, but Madelyn never accepted them.
A week later, Vivian called.
"Madelyn, David is going to the South for a business venture. His flight will take off at two o'clock this afternoon! According to Grayson, he won't be back for at least one or two years, maybe even longer!" Madelyn held her phone and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window.
She hummed.
Vivian asked, "Do... Do you want to go and bid him farewell?"
Madelyn tilted her head slightly, and after a moment, she replied, "No, there's no need. Please convey my regards...Never mind."
Vivian sighed.
After hanging up the phone, Madelyn was still standing and gazing at the blue sky and white clouds.
David was leaving...
But she would never forget that on that darkest of nights, it was David who walked to her and filled her heart with hope and love. She also remembered his words when she was feeling lost, "Madelyn, let's give love a chance!"
She wished David a happy life.
Almost at noon, the secretary entered and said, "Ms. Green, the applicant for the driver is here. Should I bring him in now?"
Madelyn replied, "Please, let him come in."
The receptionist blushed and hurriedly left, which made Madelyn confused. Why did she blush for no reason?
Soon, she knew the reason.
The office door was pushed open, and the applicant walked in. Immediately, his long legs caught Madelyn's attention. As she looked up, she saw a young and captivating face.
He had almond-shaped eyes, a prominent nose, and thin lips.
He looked like a model!
Without hesitation, Madelyn rejected him, "You must have come to the wrong place. We are hiring a driver here."
He tossed a folder onto her desk.
"That's the fucking job I'm applying for!"
The fucking...
Madelyn looked down at his file.
Nicolas Zachary, 23 years old, from Esrand, having a height of about six feet, with measurements that...
Madelyn cleared her throat and said, "Mr. Zachary, due to certain reasons, we cannot hire you."
Nicolas sat on her desk and argued, "I am a professional race car driver. Offering to drive for your humble company is an act of generosity." Madelyn frowned.
She responded calmly, "The monthly salary is 1 thousand dollars, and we don't provide accommodation. Take it or leave it!"
She expected that he wouldn't accept such an offer.
To her surprise, Nicolas chuckled.
Drawing closer to her, he said, "My cards have been suspended, and with 1 thousand dollars a month without accommodation, are you asking me to sleep rough on the streets? It's not safe for a guy as good- looking as me."
Madelyn continued attending to other work.
She simply said, "Given your appearance, 10 thousand dollars a month wouldn't be a problem."
He got angry and retorted, "Damn! I'm not a rent boy."
Madelyn pressed the intercom button and asked the secretary to escort the gentleman out. Her company was too small for such an important figure like him. If he were to stay, no female staff member in the Music Center would be able to focus on their work.
The secretary blushed, feeling sorry for him.
Nicolas said indignantly, "It's lucky for you that I am willing to drive for you. God damn it!"
Just then, Camila entered the office, carrying a lunchbox in her hand.
She had come to bring lunch to Madelyn and saw a tall and incredibly handsome man standing in the office.
He looked so attractive! He was radiant from head to toe.
Camila couldn't contain her joy.
Nicolas immediately rushed forward when he heard Madelyn call Camila Mom. He helped Camila sit down, took the lunchbox from her hands, and said to her exceptionally politely and respectfully, "You must be Ms. Green's mother! Why did you come all the way here on such a hot day? Don't worry, I'm Ms. Green's driver. If you ever call, I'll be there to pick you up in an instant! Don't get your fair skin tanned." Camila sized him up, her face beaming with a smile.
Madelyn was speechless. He must be really good at acting!
Nicolas sat down next to Camila, blinked his eyes, and said, "The monthly salary is only 1 thousand dollars, and I have no place to stay!"
Nicolas looked as sweet as a little puppy and stared at her with trusting eyes. Camila couldn't resist it and asked Madelyn, "Don't you have dormitories here?"
The secretary quickly answered on behalf of Madelyn, "We only have female dormitories!"
Camila felt a bit sad for him.
He was such a good-looking and sweet boy!
Despite previously referring to himself so arrogantly, he was looking at her with puppy eyes. Camila's heart softened, and she said, "I still have a vacant room. Let Nicolas stay with me!" Madelyn was against it.
How could she allow this stranger with an unknown background to live with Camila?
But Camila genuinely liked him. They spent the whole afternoon chatting, and when she left, she was very happy and insisted that Madelyn must hire Nicolas.
Seeing that Camila was in a good mood, Madelyn's heart softened.
Ever since her father passed away, Camila had been in low spirits. Having someone as cheerful as him around might make her happier.
Madelyn flipped through some documents and said, "Go and have a medical examination this afternoon. If everything is fine, you can start working tomorrow." Nicolas, who had been swinging his legs, suddenly jumped up.
"A medical examination? I'm healthy as fuck!"
Madelyn rang the secretary's extension and said, "Please get Mr. Zachary out of here."
Nicolas raised his hands in surrender, saying, "Alright, alright, I'm going... Will you come with me?"
"Dorothy..."
"Okay, okay, I'll go by myself."
Madelyn smiled and added, "I'll be waiting for your medical report."
Nicolas smirked, leaned closer to her and said, "I'll show you that I'm healthy as hell!"
"Call me Ms. Green, and if you say a curse again, I'll deduct 20 dollars from your salary!"
Nicolas walked to the door. Suddenly, he turned back and said to her with with indescribable emotions in his eyes, "Ms. Green, see you tomorrow!"
Madelyn had complex feelings.
She could tell that Nicolas came from a privileged background. Just his shoes alone were worth thousands of dollars, and the watch on his wrist was a rare collector's item from Patek Philippe. So she wasn't worried that he might harm Camila.
He probably was a runaway from a wealthy family.
The next day...
Nicolas came over with his medical report.
He leaned against Madelyn's desk and said, "Everything is perfect!"
Madelyn glanced at him and ordered, "Back off!"
Nicolas took a step back and said in a lazy voice, "From now on, I'll work for Ms. Green. I'll be there whenever needed...I'll do anything you ask. And, of course, I excel at driving. I have great skills. Would Ms. Green like to give it a try?"
Madelyn said expressionlessly, "Besides chauffeuring for me, the company also has a delivery truck for transporting equipment. There will be designated personnel to coordinate with you."
"What the hell! You are treating me like a workhorse!"
"Have you ever seen someone as good-looking as me doing manual labor?"
...
"There's a popular nightclub called the Black Horse Club nearby. They're always hiring!"
Nicolas leaned in and said to her seductively, "Not just anyone can touch my body."
He winked playfully.
Madelyn spoke sincerely, "Actually, you'd be a great fit for working there. I believe that within two months, you'll become a sensation in Gredax and be the top in the industry. It's a waste of your talents to work for me."
Nicolas seemed dissatisfied.
He took out his phone and made a call, "Camila, Ms. Green wants me to become a gigolo!"
Madelyn was shocked.
How did he get Camila's number? This guy...
As a result, Camila stood by Nicolas and scolded Madelyn. She also asked her to bring Nicolas home for dinner and invited Nicolas to spend the night over.
After hanging up, Madelyn lowered her head and continued reading the documents.
After a while, she said, "The faucet in the second-floor restroom is broken. Go and fix it."
Nicolas swung his long legs.
Damn it! She was getting back at him!
While he was repairing the faucet, he accidentally got his shirt soaked. He just walked through the Music Center shirtless. All the young female teachers blushed, but couldn't resist glancing at him from time to
time.
His v-taper waist, muscular rear, and impressive six-pack abs!
Really pleasing to the eye!
His upper body naked, Nicolas settled into the driver's seat of Madelyn's car. Almost immediately, he complained, "This car is too cheap for my standards! You want me to drive it?"
Madelyn was sitting in the back and browsing the documents. Hearing his words, she calmly replied, "The delivery truck is cheaper!"
Seeing him shirtless, she ordered, "Put your shirt back on!"
"It's too wet to wear."
"Did you send me to fix the faucet on purpose because you wanted to see me naked...for free!"
Madelyn furrowed her brow and asked, "Did you forget to get a mental health check during your medical examination?"
Nicolas started the car.
After a while, he retorted, "Should I also get a check-up in urology for Ms. Green?"
Madelyn wished she could fire him right now!
He had such a foul mouth!
She decided that after tonight, she would entrust him to take care of Camila exclusively.
