Chapter 119
Chapter 119: Does He Like You? Elena first glanced around mysteriously, making sure no one else was eavesdropping. After taking adeep breath, she finally mustered up the courage to speak, “Actually, what I wanted to say is, do youremember the day when Adam Paloma showed up with a swollen face?”
“Of course, I remember. It was obvious that someone had beaten him up. How could I forget?” Martinanodded, her smile deepening on her face.
“I found out about this from some insider information. It is said that the reason behind the swollen faceis actually related to Benjamin.” Elena said mysteriously. “At first, I didn’t believed it. But then I thoughtabout it carefully. That day, Adam Paloma didn’t dare to approach Benjamin proactively. Instead, heseemed like a mouse seeing a cat. That’s clearly abnormal, so I thought it could be true.”
Upon hearing Elena’s words, Martina realized that something was amiss.
According to Elena’s information, on a certain evening, Benjamin specifically arranged to meet Adam.Adam, thinking it was for a night of revelry, eagerly followed along, afraid of being left behind.
He didn’t know that Benjamin executed a bold move, leaving Adam’s face swollen like a balloon. Thekey point was that Adam could only silently endure the humiliation, remaining in a sorry state until theearly morning before leaving with a swollen face.
The only person capable of such an act was Benjamin himself, who could make Adam willingly subjecthimself to such treatment, even refraining from uttering a word afterwards.
Martina had many doubts and said, “Why would Benjamin do such a thing? After all, he has knownAdam Paloma for more than a decade or two.”
According to Benjamin’s character, it was absolutely unthinkable for him to do something like this. Itwas simply absurd.
However, Elena hadn’t finished speaking yet. She blinked her eyes and said, “I actually think Benjamindid it because of you.”
“Do you remember what you told me before, about Adam Paloma slapping you on the face when youleft Benjamin’s villa? Later, when you went missing, Benjamin came to see me once, and I got angryand spilled the beans about it!”
“I reckoned Benjamin was standing up for you and retaliating on your behalf. That’s the only way tomake sense of it. But why would Benjamin suddenly do something like this?” As Elena spoke, she grewmore and more passionate, as if she were an investigator, presenting everything so convincingly.
“If we really think about it, could it be that Benjamin had feelings for you? Other why would he go tosuch lengths without gaining any favor? He even made the drast choice of severing ties with his friendfor you. That’s something that would never have. happened before!”
Now it was Martina’s turn, and she didn’t know what to say.
Was it really like that?
Previously, Martina had been feeling strange, and the reason seemed to be here.
Martina thought for a moment and then told Elena about what happened this morning. She didn’t haveany intention of boasting or being proud; she simply couldn’t understand it.
Elena waved her hand, saying, “Well, what’s the big deal? So Amy Paloma kneeled down. to you? Ithought it was something serious.”
But in the next second, she screamed, “What?! Benjamin actually made Amy kneel down? Damn, hedid a great job!”
Everyone knew what Amy represented for the Paloma family. And now Benjamin could make her kneeldown?
What did all of this indicate? Wasn’t it clear enough?
If before, Elena only suspected that Benjamin had developed genuine feelings, now she was almostcertain. “There’s no need to guess anymore. Benjamin probably likes you!”
Boom!
This statement hit Martina like a ton of bricks, leaving her stunned and speechless.
Even though she had faintly suspected it in her heart, hearing someone say it out loud made a world ofdifference.
She stood there, still in the same position with her hands supporting her chin, without any reaction for along time.
Elena wasn’t in a hurry, allowing Martina to slowly go through this.
In fact, Elena became increasingly delighted. If Benjamin had developed genuine feelings, wouldn’t thedynamic of their relationship be completely reversed?!
But Benjamin’s genuine feelings came at the most inconvenient time. His affection arrived too late.
Previously, Martina had put aside her dignity and everything else to pursue Benjamin, but he didn’tcherish her. Instead, he would bully her every day.
Now that Martina had decided to leave, it was Benjamin who was actively approaching her. Speaking ofmen, weren’t they all foolish? Why did they insist on pursuing someone who didn’t love them?
Of course, these thoughts were best kept in Elena’s mind. It would sound so offensive if she said themout loud.
It was unclear how much time had passed, but Martina finally changed her posture. She adjusted hercollar and furrowed her brows. “Could it be that we misunderstood?
Benjamin really likes me, why did he treat me that way before?”
Just thinking about it made Elena even more perplexed, but she couldn’t explain it either.
Having never had a boyfriend before, Elena found it challenging to understand certain. aspects ofrelationships. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t comprehend Benjamin’s mindset. It onlygave her a headache.
“Instead of speculating here, why don’t we directly test Benjamin?” Elena suggested.
“How do you want to go about it?” Martina questioned, with a skeptical look.
Elena mysteriously waved to Martina, “Come here, let me secretly tell you. Careful, the walls haveears.”
The work on this day was still very fulfilling. Elena and Martina were constantly occupied with theirtasks. The day quickly passed by.
Apart from occasional communication about their design work, with their computers as the mainmedium, the two of them had no other interactions.
However, even so, their interactions didn’t feel awkward; instead, it was a comfortable state becausethey had known each other for many years. They understood each other inside out. Sometimes silencespoke louder than words, as long as they could guide each other at crucial moments, it was enough.
But most of the time, it was Martina guiding Elena. Even with just a few minor adjustments, the entireblueprint would transform into something completely different.
Elena was already in awe of Martina’s skills. “How did your brilliant mind develop? We’re both human,but why is there such a big gap?”
“From now on, you’re my master! Master, please accept my respect!” Elena mimicked a bowinggesture, her expressions vivid.
