Chapter 3 The Hypocritical Benjamin
Madelyn was dumbfounded.
She immediately blushed and raised the paper bag in her hand, saying, “Mr. Clark, I come here to return the jacket to you.”
Benjamin reached out and took the bag from her.
He nodded reservedly and said, “Thank you.”
Then he directly walked to the elevator, not intending to talk more with Madelyn.
Madelyn got anxious and caught up with him. “Mr. Clark, I want to beg you to…”
Benjamin pressed the button of the elevator. The doors of the elevator were opened, and Madelyn cheekily followed him into the elevator.
Benjamin looked askance at her.
He looked at the mirror in the elevator and adjusted his shirt while saying in a bland voice, “I won't take your case.”
Madelyn froze.
It seemed like Benjamin had learned what had happened to her family.
She asked in a soft voice, “Did Daniel tell you about it in advance?”
Benjamin locked her eyes from the mirror and smiled faintly. “He’s not qualified to let me help him. Ms. Green, it’s just because I like to differentiate private affairs from the business.”
Madelyn immediately understood. He would welcome it if she wanted to have an affair with him, but he wouldn't talk business with her.
She felt a bit embarrassed.
But Benjamin didn't intend to force her.
Although Madelyn was his cup of tea, she was not that attractive to be his exception. Moreover, it was broad daylight, he didn't have much sexual desire.
The elevator reached the 28th floor after this short conversation.
Benjamin’s secretary was waiting for him at the door. She was a bit surprised when she saw Madelyn, but thanks to her years of experience and professionalism, she didn’t show it on the surface. She still said respectfully, “Mr. Clark, Mr. Lucas has arrived.”
Benjamin threw the bag to his secretary and ordered, “Send it to the dry-cleaning shop.”
His secretary then left sensibly.
Benjamin lowered his head to browse the messages on his phone while saying to Madelyn nonchalantly, “You can go to the other lawyer. By the way, it's better for a woman to fasten her waistband.”
Madelyn thought he was so hypocritical!
