I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 365 Selected

Benjamin subconsciously glanced at Dorcas, a slight furrow between his brows indicating his displeasure.

Dorcas immediately interjected, "Benjamin, don't look at me like that. I'm just worried about putting you in a tough spot and concerned about potential discontent among other designers. It might not be beneficial for Harper either. What do you think?"

His voice was deep, tinged with a hint of annoyance. "The results aren't out yet, are they? Aren't you overthinking this a bit? Even if she doesn't make it through, as long as she wants to continue, I have ways."

His intentions couldn't be clearer.

This was blatant favoritism towards Harper.

Dorcas found it incredibly perplexing.

Throughout his tenure leading the Martin Group, Benjamin had always maintained a clear boundary between personal and professional matters, showing no favoritism. Even during his university days, he was the same, strictly impartial when it came to work-related affairs. But now, he was making an exception for Harper.

Dorcas couldn't quite put her finger on her feelings. She believed that Benjamin shouldn't compromise his principles and boundaries for anyone.

However, sensing Benjamin's displeasure, she chose not to push further and simply gave a faint smile.
