: A Light Kiss
Being in
Such close proximity, Martina felt like she couldn’t catch her breath.
From this angle, Benjamin’s handsome face was perfect as it showcased chiseled features, defined
jawline, and captivating eyes that could easily charm anyone.
Martina’s heart raced faster and faster.
What was this man up to? Could he really be acting crazy?
Benjamin closely observed every transformation of Martina, and it brought him a sense. of relief at last.
At least Martina didn’t push him away completely, and that was enough for him.
Alejandro was seated right beside them, and if he slightly turned his body, he could see exactly what
Martina and Benjamin were doing.
Whether it was to assert his dominance or for some other reason, Benjamin lightly pressed his lips
against Martina’s, giving her a tender kiss.
Martina’s eyes widened in disbelief!
Benjamin seemed to be going too far, his madness.
Even when Martina tried to show affection in front of others during their closest moments, Benjamin
would always refuse, citing the presence of too many people.
Yet now, in front of all these people, Benjamin suddenly kissed her?
It felt like the moon turned blue; it simply couldn’t happen.
In that moment, Martina forgot how to react and just sat there, stunned.
Benjamin was satisfied with Martina’s reaction. His large, clearly defined hand gently caressed her lips.
“I’ll let you off this time,” he said.
Finally, Benjamin released Martina, but his large hand firmly held onto her small hand, showing no
intention of letting go.
Martina was completely flustered this time. She felt that Benjamin had truly gone mad; otherwise, he
would never do such a thing.
Alejandro also witnessed the whole scene, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. He glanced at his
phone and checked the time.
To his surprise, the screensaver displayed a photo of a woman. The side profile of the woman bore a
striking resemblance to Martina, albeit looking more youthful. It seemed to be a picture of Martina from
several years ago. If Martina and Elena could see it, they would undoubtedly recognize her
immediately.
However, why would Alejandro use Martina’s photo as his screensaver? Wasn’t it conspicuous?
The rest of the journey was rather uneventful. They soon arrived at their destination, and Benjamin held
Martina’s hand as they disembarked from the plane.
During the journey, Martina encountered Alejandro once again. Alejandro greeted her with a smile,
“Martina, I wish you a pleasant trip. If I finish my work in the next few days and you’re still in Carlsbad, I
hope we can have a meal together.”
Martina agreed, “Sure, thank you for the kind offer, Alejandro. We’ll get in touch then.”
After the short conversation, Alejandro swiftly left, exchanging a brief farewell with by left, exchanging a
brief farewell with Benjamin at most.
Benjamin suddenly felt a bit angry. Did Alejandro act as if he didn’t exist? If it weren’t for his concern
that his temper might frighten Martina, he would have lost his patience long ago.
However, he believed that even if Alejandro had feelings for her, he wouldn’t go as far as taking action
because he should ha known the relationship between Benjamin and Martina by now.
Benjamin didn’t want this minor incident to affect the mood of Martina and him.
Simon left a bit later than them and they met up at the airport exit. As soon as they stepped outside the
airport, they saw a dedicated luxury car waiting there. It was a Lincoln, which was relatively uncommon
but undoubtedly expensive.
The driver in the car spoke English but with a regional accent. “Mr. Walker, your presence has truly
brought glory to our company. I’m Pierre Dubois, the assistant of the company. Please feel free to call
me Pierre.”
It seemed that this was the person who would be discussing the company matters with Benjamin next.
Being an assistant actually meant he was the company’s vice president.
It was quite extravagant to have a vice president act as a driver. However, considering Benjamin’s
status and position, Martina found it understandable.
For someone like Benjamin, even if the CEO came to act as a driver, it would be considered normal.
As expected, the next second, they heard Pierre explaining, “Our CEO had some urgent matters at
home and couldn’t come at the moment, but he will be able to reach the company within an hour at
most.”
“You must be tired from the journey. We have already arranged a hotel for you. How about we have a
meal together later? What do you think?” Pierre eagerly asked.
Benjamin responded with a cold “yes.”
Pierre, being the assistant driver, couldn’t help but feel moved to the point of tears.
However, during that time, Pierre couldn’t help but wonder about the identity of the woman who had
such close proximity with Benjamin. He found it strange when he learned that there were three people
coming on this trip, two men and one woman.
At first, he thought she was just an assistant, considering that Benjamin had assistants around him. He
didn’t expect that this so–called ‘assistant” could actually hold hands with Benjamin. That definitely
meant she was more than just an assistant.
If it weren’t for the fear of angering Benjamin, Pierre would have probably asked about Martina’s
identity. However, he had his speculations.
He heard that there was a shameless woman who had been clinging to Benjamin, even causing
numerous delays in his work. Could this woman be the same materialistic woman that people talked
about? It didn’t seem entirely impossible.
They arrived at a five–star restaurant.
Pierre had already made all the arrangements in advance, so when they arrived, the food was already
served on the table.
Simon silently pulled out the chairs for Benjamin and Martina, and only took his seat on the outer side
after the two of them were settled. It was almost a habit for Simon, as this position allowed him to be
more convenient if there were any arrangements or actions to be taken.
Pierre sat together with Simon.
Despite being just an assistant to Benjamin, no one dared to underestimate Simon. Because Simon
represented Benjamin’s facade, if one were to offend Simon, it would certainly tarnish their reputation
in Benjamin’s eyes.
Any non–foolish person knew
Pat when dealing with Simon, even if not treating him exceptionally, one had to show respect.
“Mr. Walker, there are several signature dishes in this restaurant that are absolutely delicious. I thought
of bringing you here today to try them,” Pierre said, politely. “As you are new here, if there is anything
you need assistance with, please don’t hesitate to ask. Our company will spare no effort in providing
the necessary support.”
In other words, he was trying to win over Benjamin. If Benjamin wasn’t happy, the success of their
cooperation would be uncertain.
