Chapter 71 Upset With Me
"Yep, it's all settled now. She's moved out of Pineview Villa to Maple Apartment."
Frank glanced at Harper while they waited for the light to turn green. "Was that Benjamin's idea?" he asked softly.
"Yeah, it was his idea," Harper sighed. "But he seems a bit upset with me..."
"Upset that you shouldn't have treated Lauren like that?"
Frank hit the nail on the head. Harper instinctively looked at him, replying calmly, "Something like that. Frank, do you feel the same way?"
"Honestly, I just wish you'd let me handle it. If you'd gotten hurt, I'd never forgive myself for not protecting you. Please, let's not do this again, okay?" Frank spoke gently, and Harper just nodded and agreed.
As for why she didn't tell Frank, Harper had no answer either. She hadn't thought to discuss it with him at that time. She just wanted to handle it herself. Maybe she just didn't want to bother him.
In the meantime, they arrived at the Martin Group.
Charlie and the others led Harper and Frank directly to the conference room. The architectural drafts were complex, with significant differences between the designs for office buildings, villas, and residential areas. This required a lengthy discussion.
In the Martin Group's president's office, Curtis informed Benjamin immediately, "Mr. Martin, your wife and Frank are at the company discussing the drafts with Charlie. Would you like to come over?" "Are you telling me you have nothing to do now, Curtis? Or do you think I am?"
Benjamin's expression remained stoic, his eyes chilling. The sarcasm in his tone made Curtis quickly lower his head.
Curtis said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Martin. I shouldn't say that. I'll go prepare the materials for your meeting this afternoon right now."
After speaking, Curtis quickly left the office.
He wondered if he had gotten the wrong idea.
But last night, Benjamin had called him at midnight, asking him to find a well-equipped apartment for Lauren to stay in immediately. Curtis thought that meant Benjamin was growing closer to Harper. In the office, Benjamin stared at the document in his hands, but he couldn't make out what it actually said.
