Chapter 159: You’re Here with Me 

Leslie followed behind Martina until they were away from the gate. He couldn’t help but think back tothe incident just now. He had to admit, Martina was really cool and impressive! He sincerely admiredMartina now. How could such a woman exist?? No wonder the boss was interested in someone likeher; it’s hard not to be fascinated, right?

Even Leslie couldn’t help but liked her. Of course, he was well aware of himself and knew he must notharbor feelings for someone he shouldn’t. Otherwise, the consequences could be very serious.

After getting into the car, Martina told him the destination.

While driving, Leslie said, “Miss Martinez, you’re really becoming more and more different.”

Martina casually glanced at Leslie driving, “What do you mean by ‘different? Just say what you want tosay.”

Leslie was a straightforward person who couldn’t hold back his thoughts, so he just said it outright.

“You know, I feel like you now are completely different from the Miss Martinez I knew before. You areeven more likable now,” he said. “Not just that, your personality is extraordinary too. No wonder theboss has feelings for you. This kind of woman is the type men would truly appreciate.”

This was the first time Martina heard praise from someone close to Benjamin. It made her emotionseven more complicated than when she first realized it herself. The fact that even people aroundBenjamin could sense it meant that everything was real.

Martina blinked, “Leslie, do you have some misunderstanding about me?”

Clearly, Leslie didn’t grasp the deeper meaning behind her question and continued, “Well, there mightbe some misunderstanding, but someone with a personality like yours is just too captivating.”

“From now on, no matter what you do, I’ll be by your side, responsible for protecting you. You can restassured,” Leslie added.

“That’s not what I mean. I feel like you might have misunderstood my true personality and character,”Martina shook her head. “And you can not tell whether Benjamin likes me or not. Please don’t talkabout it like this in front of others in the future.”

Leslie was taken aback. How could he not sense Miss Martinez’s Intentional distance? Could it be thatshe no longer liked the boss? Almost Instantly, this thought–crossed Leslie’s mind. But that couldn’t be,right?

In the past, Miss Martinez was deeply in love with the boss. What caused her sudden change of heart?

Leslie suddenly thought of a possibility – could it be because of Miss Martinez’s recent incident whenshe ran away from home?

Leslie didn’t understand what had happened to make Miss Martinez so determined to stay away fromthe boss. If it weren’t for their positions, he probably would have asked her a bunch of questionsalready.

Martina didn’t know the exact location, so she followed the GPS and arrived in less than half an hour.

To her surprise, it turned out to be a bar. The name of the bar was poetic, and if someone didn’t knowbetter, they might mistake it for a café or a restaurant.

Feeling somewhat speechless, Martina didn’t get out of the car. Instead, she called Elena.

After a while, Elena finally picked up the call, and there was some noise in the background. “Martina,where are you? I’ve been waiting for you for so long. Have you arrived? Do you want me to come outand pick you up?”

As expected, Elena was in the bar. Martina took a deep breath and said, “Why are you in a bar again,little girl? Aren’t you afraid of your brother scolding you?”

Even though Elena’s family upbringing was quite strict, especially when it came to her personalbehavior, it was even stricter. That’s why last time when she came to the bar, she made a big fuss andused her daughter as an excuse. Elena was afraid of getting caught and facing scolding or even abeating if she was. taken back home. But now, this same girl with strict upbringing had ended up at abar. What was going on?

Elena seemed to be in high spirits on the other end of the call, probably already enjoying herself. “Well,you know my brother hasn’t been home lately, right? So, of course, I’ll take this chance to have somefun! Alright, are you already here? I’ll come out to pick you up now!”

Elena hung up without giving Martina a chance to decline.

Leslie also took a good look at the place in front of them and quickly changed his mind, “Miss Martinez,I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to come here. Though the boss agreed to let you go out, whether it’sfor a meal or to have fun, isn’t coming to this place a bit unsafe?”

Leslie didn’t usually enjoy coming to such places, but he still had some understanding of them.Basically, the people here were either thugs or spoiled brats.

In any case, there weren’t many good people around. Coming here, one would likely encounter troubleor end up in a bad situation. Especially for girls, there was even less guarantee of safety. If one caughtthe eye of the wrong guy, who knew what could happen when returning at night?

Martina also knew about these things, but since they were already here, and Elena had come out tomeet them, there was no reason for her to leave right away.

She looked at Leslie with a calm expression, “What’s unsafe? Are you implying that your bodyguardskills aren’t good enough?”

Leslie was left speechless. As a bodyguard, he was indeed quite competent and would prioritize MissMartinez’s safety, except in unforeseen circumstances.

“I really don’t know what to say to that,” Leslie replied. “I just feel that this kind of place isn’t suitable foryou to hang out. How about we go somewhere else?”

Martina responded firmly, “We’ll stay here. If needed, we can leave in a little while, and besides, you’rehere with me.”

“There’s nothing for me to worry about,” she continued. “If you’re really concerned, you can wait for meoutside now.”

Hearing her resolute tone, even if Leslie had more to say, he decided to keep it to himself. He knewthat if he angered Miss Martinez, he wouldn’t have a good time either. He thought to himself, after all,he was a trained bodyguard. If he couldn’t handle this situation, it would be quite laughable.

With him around to watch over her, he believed that nothing bad would happen to Miss Martinez. Ifneeded, he could keep it a secret from the boss.
