Chapter 59 Ms. Mitchell's Boyfriend

Lauren glanced at Benjamin and nodded slightly. "Well, yes, I was meant to have dinner with Benjamin, but you already have an appointment, so I..."

"How about Ms. Davis come with us? The more, the merrier," suggested the people from Summit Realty. He noticed that Lauren and Benjamin were more than acquaintances. So he invited Lauren to please Benjamin.

Benjamin remained impassive, while Lauren looked to him for approval. "Isn't this convenient? Benjamin, I don't want to disturb you."

"No, Ms. Davis. We hope you can join us," someone immediately responded,

After a brief pause, Benjamin calmly gave his consent. "Go if you want to."

"Okay, then I'll go with you," Lauren beamed as she approached Benjamin, then greeted Harper with forced cheerfulness, "Harper, you are here too."

Harper didn't want to respond to Lauren. But she eventually said "Yeah," under the eyes of everyone.

Since Harper knew Lauren, it became evident to everyone that her favored treatment by Benjamin likely stemmed from her connection to Lauren.

As they prepared to depart, Benjamin reminded them, "Get in the car."

Harper, closest to the car, moved to open the backseat door, only for Lauren to swiftly take her place with a cheerful. "Harper, thank you."

With a hidden smirk aimed at Harper, Lauren revealed her true intentions, but Harper remained stoic, showing no reaction.

Lauren waved to Benjamin, urging him to join them.

Harper's cold gaze met Benjamin's, but he remained impassive, finally settling into the backseat.

Harper chose the passenger seat instead.

Deliberately, Lauren questioned, "Harper, how about you come and take the backseat? We can't talk if you sit over there."

Harper smirked sarcastically, "Ms. Davis, ever heard that three's a crowd? Besides, I hardly know you. I doubt that we have much to talk about." "Harper, are you upset? If my presence bothers you, I can switch with you. I thought you wouldn't mind," Lauren gently interjected. "Don't bother, Ms. Davis. If you really care that I will be upset, why on earth do you pick the backseat in the first place??" Harper retorted coolly. Lauren tried to annoy her and she made it.
