Chapter 102: Bestie’s Brother

Today, Elena’s brother’s birthday banquet was held at their own villa.

The villa seemed quite expressive. Although it was slightly inferior compared to

Benjamin’s, it was still impressive enough to leave an impact.

Due to Rodríguez family’s status, many people purposely came over to try to gain some attention.Whether they had received an invitation or not, they were racking their brains to replace a reason to come.

It was likely that only people like Benjamin, who had already received an invitation, had no intention ofcoming at all. If it weren’t for Martina’s sudden uprising and arrival here, Benjamin would never havechanged his mind.

However, Martina was unaware of Benjamin’s proactive decision to come here. At most, she thoughtthat Benjamin hadn’t responded to the message and was probably busy.

Anyway, Martina had already made it clear in advance, and she believed that Benjamin wouldn’t replaceany faults in her. After all, this was the only invitation and request from her best friend, and she trulyhad no reason to refuse.

As Elena led Martina up the familiar stairs, many guests were still waiting downstairs. They had no ideathat the person who had been widely discussed earlier was actually the daughter of the Rodríguezfamily.

At this moment, Elena’s brother, Alejandro, was in his bedroom on the second floor. Perhaps he hadnever expected that someone would dare to intrude into his room, so he didn’t bother locking thebedroom door.

It seemed that he was currently choosing a suit. Due to changing into a new suit, his shirt didn’t quitematch, so he simply switched to a new one.

At this critical moment, Elena brought Martina here, who caught a glimpse of a half- naked figure.Martina instinctively closed her eyes and turned away! Her reaction was so swift that it shockedAlejandro.

Elena was also startled. She never expected to walk in at such an awkward moment. She turned awayas well and asked, “Alejandro, how come you didn’t dress properly or lock the door? Aren’t you afraidof someone coming in to peep on you?”

Anyway, Elena had to admit that her brother had a really good figure. It seemed like he had been hittingthe gym quite a bit lately!

Unfortunately, Martina, as Elena’s best friend, was currently in a relationship. Otherwise, Elena wouldhave gladly introduced them to each other. Such great opportunities were rare, so they should becherished, right?

Luckily, Benjamin was unaware of Elena’s thoughts. Otherwise, Elena wouldn’t be standing here sorelaxed.

Alejandro stood frozen for a few seconds, overcome with shock. He never expected someone to bargeinto his room at this moment.

He hastily completed his dressing and glanced over his shoulder, a sigh escaping his lips, reflecting hisacceptance of the situation.

Sure enough, he saw his unpredictable sister, who, despite being a girl, always did things that leftpeople puzzled. She looked almost like a boy, as if she had been assigned the wrong gender at birth.

However, at the same time, Alejandro also noticed Martina by Elena’s side, causing a slight stir in hiseyes.

To be able to come in together with his sister and have such a good relationship, besides the MissMartinez who had been mentioned before, there probably wouldn’t be a

second person.

Alejandro quickly composed himself, trying his best not to bring up the little mishaps from earlier.“Alright, you can turn around now.”

Upon hearing Alejandro’s voice, Elena finally turned around and saw that her brother was alreadydressed neatly, which eased her worries to some extent. “What are you doing? Are you trying toseduce your sister? Let me tell you, that won’t work with me. I’m your sister, after all.”

It seemed that the sibling relationship between these two was quite good in private, otherwise Elenawouldn’t have spoken to her brother in such a manner.

At the same time, Martina was shocked that Elena was really brave to say such things. After all,Alejandro was her brother, and she had such audacity. How could she not feel a sense ofembarrassment or impropriety?

At that precise moment, Alejandro’s gaze locked onto Martina, his eyes revealing a subtle mix ofintrigue and interest. And this kind of interest couldn’t have appeared out of the blue; it seemed to havebeen hidden for a long time.

“Seems like you never take anything seriously,” Alejandro remarked to Elena. “If I’m correct, this mustbe the Miss Martina Martinez you’ve been raving about for ages, am I right?”

Upon hearing this, Elena finally restrained her emotions and said, “Of course, she’s my best friend.We’re as close as sisters.”

And indeed, it was true. The two of them dared to join forces and deceive Benjamin. That’s what truefriendship was all about, right? If it weren’t for that, no one would have the courage to deceiveBenjamin, let alone take such a risky path. It would be a sure way to destruction.

Fortunately, the people in the Rodríguez family were unaware of these things. Otherwise, they wouldnever allow Elena to embark on such a self–destructive path from the beginning, completelydisregarding her own safety.

To dare to confront someone like Benjamin, it required not only courage but also

Elena’s reckless nature. Otherwise, how could there be such a fool?

Martina heard her name being called and quickly greeted Alejandro, saying, “Hi, Mr. Rodríguez. I’mMartina.”

Alejandro smiled gently, appearing very kind. He had a striking appearance, distinct from that ofBenjamin, but it had to be acknowledged that he was undeniably attractive.

The tenderness in Alejandro’s eyes couldn’t be hidden. Just a single glance from him could makesomeone fall into it. On the other hand, Benjamin was domineering and aloof, emanating an air oreplaceifference that seemed to lack empathy. In short, he was easily capable of hurting others.

However, Benjamin’s charismatic and enchanting charm was more aggressive. If Martina hadn’t beenhurt by him before, she would definitely have been attracted to his looks.

In fact, including the present moment, she had to admit that she still had some uncontrollable feelingstowards Benjamin even if she didn’t want to.

However, she always managed to restrain herself each time, just to avoid embarrassment.

“Hi. I’m Alejandro Rodríguez,” Alejandro introduced himself. “Since you’re my sister’s friend, thatmakes you my friend too. I’m only a few years older than you, so don’t call me ‘Mr. Rodríguez‘. Just callme Alejandro.”

Martina hesitated a bit in her heart, but then she had a thought and nodded under the suggestive gazeof Elena. “Okay, I’ll just call you Alejandro. I hope you don’t mind.”

Elena chuckled from the side. “Okay, okay, now you guys have finally met,” she said, turning toAlejandro. “Haven’t you always been curious to meet my best friend? Well, here she is, right in front ofyou. What do you think? I wasn’t lying, right?”
