Chapter 140: I Can Prove It If You Don’t Believe Me.

In the morning, Martina just woke up to replace that Benjamin was nowhere to be seen.

She had no idea when he had gotten up. Despite his condition, he didn’t seem to have any

plans of resting.

Martina pondered for a moment and decided to message him. “Are you working? The

doctor said you need to rest.”

Outside the room, Benjamin had prepared some breakfast, carefully selecting dishes

that Martina loved.

In the past, he didn’t know how to take care of someone properly, and he made some

mistakes in this regard. However, after this period of time and effort, he had come to

understand Martina better than ever.

Knowing her tastes and habits well, he was attentive to her needs, proving that

sometimes, it wasn’t just about a man being too busy or something; if he truly desired to

change, he would take action.

Benjamin looked at the message on his phone, and the smile on his face couldn’t be

contained. He didn’t reply but used his key card to open the door.

Startled, Martina was standing barefoot on the floor, holding a bottle for defense. She

must have been scared by yesterday’s incident, causing her to act subconsciously. “Who’s

there?!”

When Martina recognized the person in front of her, she finally felt relieved. “Benjamin?.

Where did you come from? Where were you just now?”

“Just got up, went downstairs to get some breakfast, Benjamin replied. “Let’s eat

together.”

Martina nodded, but she faintly smelled a bloody scent. Then suddenly, she pounced on

Benjamin like a hungry wolf.

Benjamin’s eyes seemed to contain stars, and his gaze could only hold Martina’s figure.

“What’s wrong? Do you want me?” Benjamin teased, purposely poking where it mattered

most, making Martina’s cheeks turn red again.

Martina gave Benjamin an annoyed stare, but she wasn’t really angry. “What are you

thinking? I just smelled a bloody scent and got worried that your wound might have opened

up. Let me see!” Without further words, Martina took off Benjamin’s shirt, forgetting in the moment what

it meant to respect boundaries between men and women.

Benjamin brought up the topic again, “Last night, you were telling me to be respectful of our differencesas men and women. So, what are you doing now?”

Martina’s lips twitched, and she could only offer a forced explanation, “I’m obviously taking care of yourwound. What do you think I’m doing?”

She checked the upper half of Benjamin’s body, making sure his wound hadn’t opened up again. Thebloody scent might have been just her imagination, and she finally felt relieved. “It’s good that it hasn’topened up, otherwise, all the recovery efforts from last

night would’ve been in vain.”

Benjamin took it all in, and the warmth in his eyes couldn’t be shaken off again. Perhaps, the currentrelationship was the best.

Since Benjamin was fine, Martina could sit down and eat with peace of mind. During the meal, shecouldn’t help but ask, “Regarding your work, do you still need to work today?” Martina blinked andcontinued, “If you trust me, why don’t you let me go with Simon? I actually have some insights in thisarea as well. With his help and your presence, I believe there shouldn’t be any major issues, and ourcollaboration should go as we planned.”

The concern was solely for Benjamin’s health. He needed proper rest and shouldn’t be stressed toomuch. These were the doctor’s words, and Martina had taken them to heart.

To her surprise, Benjamin shook his head. “No need. Do you see me as that fragile?” Momentarilyrendered speechless, Martina felt that any response she gave would be misjudged. Whether she saidyes or no, it would be like dancing in Benjamin’s restricted territory. She awkwardly pursed her lips andremained silent for quite a while.

How could Benjamin, with such an understanding of Martina, not comprehend her

thoughts?

Fortunately, he didn’t dwell on these questions for too long. “Today’s work arrangement is not toodemanding. After we sign a contract together, we can go to the first tourist spot

and take a stroll.”

Martina instinctively refused. He was injured anyway, how could he still think about having fun?

Previously, Benjamin used to prioritize work so much that even if Martina was angry, he would onlycome to comfort her after finishing his work! Why now, he kept making such significant changesrepeatedly, she felt overwhelmed with pressure!

“If you’re only going to sign a contract, it shouldn’t take much time. After that, you should come backand rest. Sightseeing is not important; taking care of your health is the priority. Martina insisted.

me..”

Benjamin’s attitude was resolute. “My body is fine. I can prove it if you don’t believe

Martina furrowed her brows, clearly not believing him. “How can you prove it?”

She watched as Benjamin got up, leaned on the table, and whispered something gently

in Martina’s ear.

Right after that, Martina’s expression changed once again.

“You are absolutely mad!!” Martina couldn’t hold back and blurted out her inner

thoughts.

This man was indeed insane, how could he treat his own body like this?

Despite the injury, he was still preoccupied with such intimate matters between a man

and a woman. He must be crazy!

Perhaps to prevent Benjamin from doing something really crazy on the spot, Martina

had to walk away.

After a while, both of them had dressed up and left the hotel. Simon drove, and they headed to theplace where they would discuss work later.

When Martina and the others arrived, it was evident that the other party had also been waiting for along time, as there was already a whole team of people gathered here, who were possibly thecompany’s high–level executives and some ordinary employees.

As soon as they saw Benjamin getting off the car first, they all shouted in unison,

“Hello, Mr. Walker!”

Benjamin didn’t even lift his eyelids and, in the next second, he extended a hand towards the still–opencar door. This scene left many people puzzled, looking at Benjamin’s reaction with confusion.

Some even whispered cautiously, “What is Mr. Walker doing? Does he have someone with him? Iremember Mr. Walker is a germaphobe, everyone knows that.”

Among the people present, perhaps only Pierre understood who could receive such treatment fromBenjamin. It seemed that Miss Martinez was also here, otherwise, others. wouldn’t have received thiskind of treatment.

Pierre cleared his throat silently, checked his hairstyle on the phone screen to make sure everythingwas fine, and took a few steps forward.

Here she came.
