I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 389 Fierce

Harper pressed her lips, her voice calm and steady. "I'm working right now. Though my company isn't as big as the Martin Group, I still have responsibilities. If you're in a hurry, you can go back first."

Benjamin's gaze locked on her and scoffed, "You said it yourself, your company isn't the Martin Group. So, come home with me."

His remark carried an unmistakable threat.

Frank caught the undertone and sensed the tension between them. He spoke up to defend. "Mr. Martin, although our company isn't as large as the Martin Group, you should still respect everyone's work. Harper and I still need to discuss a project. Asking her to leave with you right now would be irresponsible, wouldn't it?"

"So what?" Benjamin's eyes narrowed, his gaze cold and fierce, his face sullen. "Do you think you'd still be sitting here talking to me if it weren't for Harper?"

Benjamin's implication was clear. Without Harper, Frank would have been out of Mayby long ago.

His tone was bold, yet it didn't sound out of place coming from him.

His voice, neither too loud nor too soft, carried to the rest of the office area, drawing everyone's attention.
