I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)
Chapter 91

Chapter 91 Close Friends

Isaac smiled slightly and said, "She is Harper, my relatively close friend. She is currently working in Mayby. I hope Mr. Martin will take care of her in the future." "Close friend?"

Benjamin repeated these words in an accentuated tone.

Lauren also turned pale and glanced at Harper.

Isaac nodded and responded straightforwardly, "Yes."

Harper pretended not to know him and said hello with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Martin."

"Hello, Ms. Mitchell."

His voice was low, and he gazed at her with a meaningful look, and then he looked away.

But Harper felt that he was furious.

The waiter brought the dishes at that moment, and then the four of them began to eat. During this period, Benjamin and Isaac chatted. From their conversation, Harper learned that they had met many years ago. Benjamin's teacher in college had been a very close classmate to Isaac until now, so they met each other today.

While Benjamin was chatting with Isaac, Lauren took the initiative to serve soup for Benjamin, showing the intimacy. After seizing the opportunity, she looked at Isaac with a smile and asked, "Mr. Whitman, it's really an honor to meet you. It's quite a fate that we two are in the same industry."

Isaac nodded politely, not asking any questions.

Lauren was a little stiff by then and then took the initiative to say, "Mr. Whitman, Benjamin specially asked you to come to Mayby this time, hoping that you can help me write lyrics and compose music for my new song. I know that you haven't taken the tasks anymore, but I won't trouble you; only this time."

Lauren deliberately used Benjamin's name in order to show that her relationship with Benjamin was unusual. And Isaac would help her for Benjamin's sake.

Isaac picked up the cup and took a sip, with a gentle smile on his face.

He waited for Lauren to finish speaking, then looked at Benjamin and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Martin, is this also what you want me to do?"

"I am just an introducer. If you think that she is suitable, you can give her a chance."

Benjamin leaned on the chair and looked at Isaac calmly.

Lauren said quickly, "Mr. Whitman, I really hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you. You can also listen to my previous songs. I think it will not let you down."

"Ms. Davis, I'm sorry that I can't help you. I have already retired and have never thought about accepting the tasks, so I can't help you."

"Why? It's a waste of your talent that you keep retiring. Your fans want you to come back. If you don't want to, just compose music and write lyrics. You can choose not to sign your name in the song, so no one will know that you've been involved in making this song."

Lauren was very excited. It was not easy to meet Isaac. Of course, she was not willing to let go of such a good opportunity.

However, her words made Isaac laugh. "Ms. Davis, this is not a matter of signature or not. Once I actually participate in composing music and lyrics, do you believe that my fans and the public won't know?" Isaac had his own style of making a song, which could not be changed by anyone.

Lauren was silent. She looked at Benjamin anxiously and said, "Benjamin..."

"Mr. Whitman, do you really no longer think about it?"

"Mr. Martin, I came to Mayby this time because I owe a favor to my friend, so I came here to meet you. Apart from the fact that I still owe Harper a song, I have no plan to write a song for the others." Isaac was a straightforward person. He had never been controlled by anyone, let alone forced to do things he didn't like. Unless he was willing, no one could force him.

Because of his special personality, he was like a myth in the industry.

However, Lauren attributed everything to Harper. She asked directly, "Mr. Whitman, did Harper say anything to you?

It is true that Harper and I had some misunderstandings before, but you can't doubt my professionalism because of it. This is unfair to me."

Frowning slightly, Isaac glanced at Lauren and asked, "I don't quite understand what you said? Are you doubting my character? Or are you questioning my way of doing things? Harper is my friend, it's inappropriate for you to say this. Please apologize to Harper."

Lauren's eyes widened suddenly, and she still insisted on her own thoughts. "It's obviously that Harper's words makes you unwilling to cooperate with me. I don't want to doubt your character, I just want to explain to you clearly to not miss my opportunity because of others' injustice."

"You are too arrogant. Do you think I met you today just to cooperate with you? Even if the popular singer stands in front of me, he would not dare to speak to me like that." Lauren suddenly fell silent, because what Isaac said was correct.

Lauren pressed her lips and looked at Benjamin subconsciously, but he only sat there and had no intention of helping her.

Isaac reiterated, "Ms. Davis, please apologize to Harper; otherwise, there is no need to continue this meal."

"Mr. Whitman, I didn't mean it. I'm too eager to cooperate with you."

"Ms. Davis, you shouldn't say that to me."

Lauren had no choice but to look at Harper. "I'm sorry, Harper. I misunderstood you."

Harper didn't respond, as if she didn't hear her words at all.

She picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, and then said calmly to Isaac, "Thank you for your kindness, but my voice is not suitable for singing, so let's forget it." "Don't make excuses to falsely accuse your voice because of your laziness. Even Cole is eager to come over with a cane and beat you."

"Don't say that, or I will complain."

"Cole is so harsh to you, but you still side with him."

"Mr. Whitman, I have to remind you that he is your father."

The interaction between the two was familiar and long-lasting, making Benjamin and Lauren, clearly feel that the two had known each other for a long time, and Benjamin became more indifferent.

Lauren glanced out of the corner of her eye, and she became slightly stiff. She said softly, "Benjamin, I don't know what to do."

"Just apologize. If you think it doesn't matter whether you cooperate with him or not, then you don't have to say anything else, okay?"

Benjamin left all decisions up to Lauren.

After much hesitation, she spoke.

"Harper, let me toast you with water instead of wine. I misunderstood you just now, and I shouldn't have said that to you. Please forgive me and don't argue with me."

"Ms. Davis, there is no need to apologize to me. The relationship between us has not reached the point where it needs to be eased. As for whether I care about it or not, it's not your business to worry about. After all, you can make the decision yourself about what you want to say."

Harper said harshly to Lauren, making Lauren embarrassed and angry, but she couldn't have any attacks and could only bear it.

She secretly made up her mind to teach Harper a harsh lesson. It would be best if she would never be worthy of standing besides Benjamin and staying far away from this industry.

The meal became less pleasant because of this situation, but in the end, for Benjamin's sake, Isaac politely said to Lauren, "You're very talented. I hope you will develop better and better in the future. Maybe we will cooperate in the future."

Lauren smiled, but she was completely disappointed.

After that, Harper followed Isaac to leave before Lauren and Benjamin got in the car.

Isaac asked Harper, "Do you have any conflicts with Lauren?"
