I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Necessary to Put on Makeup?

"I didn't, Benjamin. How could I blame you? That incident was my fault in the first place. I shouldn't have let Rue arrange for you to pick me up. I know you're a person who keeps your personal and professional life separate. It was my mistake..."

"Alright, that's all in the past. Let's not bring it up again, okay?" Benjamin interrupted her with a neutral expression.

Lauren nodded and said with a gentle smile, "Benjamin, please don't be angry. I promise it won't happen again."

"Mm." Benjamin nodded, then asked, "What did you remember last night?"

Lauren met his gaze without flinching and replied, "I remembered that the man had a tattoo on his arm, a dragon winding around his entire arm."

"Why did you suddenly remember such a detailed scene?"

"Maybe because I came across a video about tattoos, so it triggered my memory."

Benjamin silently stared at Lauren.

Lauren felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She softly asked, "Benjamin, why are you looking at me like this? Do you not trust me?"

"Of course not, I'm just trying to recall if I've seen or met someone like you described."

"And have you?"

She inquired in a hushed tone, staring at Benjamin.

"Not sure yet." Benjamin looked away. Suddenly remembering something, he continued, "Lauren, I consulted some experts on your situation. Perhaps there are things you remember, but due to brain stimulation, you temporarily forgot. We can work with a psychologist to help you remember. Can you schedule some time in the next few days to see a psychologist with me, hmm?"

Lauren's always smiling face stiffened slightly, but there was nothing else out of the ordinary.

She nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll do as you say, Benjamin. I'll follow your lead."

He simply murmured in response and fell silent.

Taking a sip of the water he poured for her, Lauren asked softly, "Benjamin, any word from Isaac? Why is there no response for so long? Is he unwilling?"

"I've asked Curtis to handle that," Benjamin said, walking to his desk and dialing the internal line, "Any news from Isaac?"

Curtis had just received the information and quickly informed Benjamin, "Mr. Martin, I just got a call. Isaac is in Mayby. I've arranged to have dinner with him tomorrow night at the Silver."

"Good, have you sorted out where he's staying?"

"He didn't disclose that, and I didn't want to pry too much to avoid making him uncomfortable."

"Just take care of it."

Benjamin hung up the phone, his expression composed. He turned to see Lauren walking towards him.

She asked excitedly, "Isaac is in Mayby?"

"Yes."

"Benjamin, you're so kind to me. I never thought Isaac would be willing to meet me."

Lauren was ecstatic. Isaac was not only a famous lyricist and composer but also had a hit single that topped all charts in just a minute, holding the record to this day.

He was a legend and a king in the music industry. If one could establish a relationship with him, not only could they thrive in their future path, but they could also earn the admiration of those currently at the top.

Lauren's excitement surged at the thought of that scene, and she joyfully wrapped her arms around Benjamin's.

With a frown, Benjamin glanced at her, subconsciously recalling an image of Harper, who was ecstatic about receiving a long-awaited call from a friend. That was pure joy from the heart, utterly different from the purposeful happiness Lauren had now.
