I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89 Be Harper's Secretary

"Of course not, she was just tired last night. Calling so early might disturb her rest, so I had to answer on her behalf."

The mention of her being tired last night drained the color from Frank's face, rendering him speechless.

Benjamin interjected once more, saying, "Frank, remember that Harper is a married woman. Do you understand the implications of your current actions? If word gets out, can you continue at Mayby? If you want to avoid embarrassment, keep your distance from her. Even your years of friendship won't save you."

Without waiting for Frank's response, Benjamin abruptly ended the call.

Clutching his phone tightly, Benjamin remained composed, yet his gaze was showing coldness.

He thought, "This Frank is truly relentless."

He switched the phone to silent mode and then left the bedroom.

Harper slept in until half past nine, stretching as she picked up her phone. Instantly, Harper sat up.

There were several missed calls and WhatsApp messages, all from one person.

[Harper, what's the meaning of not answering my calls? Are you upset about what I said last night?]

[Are you really angry?]

[You're not planning to have dinner with me tonight?]

Harper ran her hand through her hair and promptly replied: [Sorry, I just woke up. I'm not upset, and of course, I'll join you tonight.]

The other side responded with a relieved expression, saying: [Good to hear you're not upset. You don't have to come over during the day. I'll be wandering around Mayby on my own. See you tonight.]

Harper said: [OK.]

Then she got out of bed.

The bedroom curtains were tightly drawn, making it impossible to tell the time without checking.

What left her speechless was Benjamin's audacity to switch her phone to silent mode. Harper sighed and immediately changed her phone's password and fingerprint settings.

After freshening up and having breakfast downstairs, she drove to the office.

She rarely arrived so late. Upon returning to her office, Sophia promptly entered with design documents, smiling brightly at her, "Ms. Mitchell, you look especially beautiful today."

"Spill it. Are you feeling too tired lately and need a break?"

"No, I'm being honest. You really look stunning today, like... you've been touched by love, Ms. Mitchell. Could it be that you're in love?"

Harper's expression tensed slightly. As her mind was filled with images of last night, her face flushed momentarily.

Sophia didn't miss any of her facial changes. Seeing Harper's reaction, she became more convinced. "Wow, Ms. Mitchell, you really are in love!"

"No, I'm not."

"You are, I can sense it. You seemed to be radiating sweetness! Ms. Mitchell, have I met your boyfriend?" Sophia was thrilled, brimming with excitement like a little girl who had discovered someone's secret.

Before Harper could respond, Sophia asked in a low voice, "Is it Mr. Parker? But it doesn't seem like it. Your gaze toward him carries no admiration. Is it Mr. Martin? He had a fight with Mr. Parker last time. Is it because of you...?"

"Sophia, do you not have work to do? Are you so eager to gossip about the boss during work hours that you don't want to keep working?"

Harper interjected coolly, not allowing Sophia to continue her speculations. Otherwise, Sophia might end up imagining the whole story of Harper being married to Benjamin.

Harper wasn't someone who smiled often, but when she did, she was captivating. However, at that moment, Harper's face was cold and distant, exuding an air of aloofness that made her seem unapproachable.

Sophia straightened up immediately and said in a serious tone, "Ms. Mitchell, I've organized these documents. After you read them, I'll take them to the construction site for Mr. Kerr."

"I'll take a look first. If there are any issues, I'll find you."

"Okay, I'll leave now."
