I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 92 Unwilling to Give In

"More or less?"

"Why is that?"

Harper pressed her lips. "It's just girl stuff, probably not willing to admit that the other is more beautiful."

Isaac chuckled, "She's not as pretty as you are."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Harper dropped Isaac off at the hotel entrance. Before he got out of the car, Harper asked, "Are you really not planning to collaborate with Lauren? If it's because of me, there's no need to worry. If it tarnishes your reputation, I have no real connection with her, so don't concern yourself."

"Are you trying to ask me how important you are to me?"

Harper furrowed her brows slightly, her eyes indifferent, as if telling him not to overthink things.

Isaac turned serious. "It's not about you or anyone else. It's simply my own decision. Many people like Lauren have asked me to collaborate. There are others with unique qualities and status, but I've turned them all down. If I agree once, the requests will keep coming. I prefer not to get too involved in the industry circles or make enemies, so the best way is to reject everyone."

"What did you finally say to Lauren?"

"Just a polite refusal. I can't directly say, 'Ms. Davis, I don't want to collaborate with you. Please don't contact me again,' can I?"

Harper smiled, "Alright, I've learned another lesson. Thank you, Isaac."

She watched Isaac enter the hotel before turning back to Pineview Villa.

Benjamin's car was already parked in the garage, but the house was dark, no lights on. Had he come back so early just to sleep?

Harper thought as she entered the house, still pondering, when suddenly someone embraced her from behind before she could even put on her shoes.

She instinctively exclaimed, "Ah!"
