Chapter 208 He Belongs to Her All Night Long
Benjamin was standing gracefully under the dazzling chandelier.
He was looking at Madelyn.
He stared at her as she smiled lightly at David.
She'd been cold-shouldering him these days and seldom smiled so relaxedly at him. However, when she looked at David, she would smile subconsciously. Could it be that David was more important and attractive than him in her heart?
Benjamin didn't want to make others see his jealousy. It would make him look too mean.
However, he still uncontrollably walked toward them, stood before them, and took out a glass of wine from the tray held by the waiter aside. He slightly curled up his lips and said to Madelyn, "Haven't you come back to your sense? Am I that good-looking?"
Madelyn had been accustomed to his cheekiness.
She tilted her head and smiled apologetically at David.
Of course, David understood what was going on. Although he was in Esrand, he was still well-informed.
He knew that Madelyn returned to Benjamin for the sake of Grayson and Vivian. However, he could tell that they were not as intimate as before.
David said sarcastically, "Benjamin, are you so anxious about Madelyn that you follow her to Esrand? Those who know the inside story would think that you come to spend the Traditional Valentine's Day with her, but those who don't know would think you're too doubtful."
As for the war between two men...
They not only wanted to win over the other party on the business battlefield and defeat him until he couldn't rise again, and they would also try their best to win the other party orally.
As a lawyer, Benjamin was undoubtedly glib-tongued.
Clenching his glass, he said with a relaxed smile, "I don't think I have a strong rival in Esrand. Madelyn, what do you think of it?"
Madelyn shot a glance at him, signaling him not to go too far.
Benjamin leaned forward and whispered into her ear, "Do you feel distressed for him?"
Madelyn also lowered her voice as she replied, "Benjamin, are you here to seek trouble for me? I met him at the banquet. That's all. We didn't do anything. You don't have to act like this!"
"I'm getting jealous."
Benjamin expressed how he felt bluntly and stared at her intensely.
There were many people at the banquet and Madelyn couldn't bear such a gaze at all. Her ears slowly turned red.
David's smile slowly disappeared from his face.
Standing beside David with a glass of wine in his hand, Nicolas ridiculed him in a low voice, "See, no one can win over Benjamin in terms of cheekiness!"
David slowly drank the wine in his glass.
The pungent liquid slipped into his throat and flew into his stomach. It made him uncomfortable, but somehow, it fitted his current mood.
Looking at the perfectly-matched couple, David replied in a low voice, "I was wrong."
Nicolas was bewildered because his reply didn't have anything to do with his question.
But David himself knew what it meant.
When he pursued Madelyn, he'd never expected that Benjamin would be so stubborn about getting Madelyn. Benjamin was a workaholic and at first, it was apparent that he didn't take Madelyn seriously. No one had expected that they would end up like this.
But David was more aware that he didn't lose to Benjamin.
He only lost to the time.
Who said that there was no order of arrival in love?
David left the banquet quietly just like how he showed up here tonight.
...
All lively banquets would come to an end.
With Benjamin by Madelyn's side, no one dared to approach her anymore.
When the banquet was over, Madelyn stared at the red figure on the screen of the elevator and asked in a gentle voice, "Did you reserve a hotel room? If not, I'll let my secretary get one for you."
Benjamin stared at her, his eyes unfathomable, "I'll stay in your room."
Madelyn looked down and clicked her phone, saying, "Let me reserve one for you. I have to deal with my work in the next few times and I may not have time to accompany you."
Her phone was then snatched away.
Benjamin said with a serious tone, "I won't bother you!"
Madelyn remained silent and stared at the elevator quietly until the doors were opened.
