Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 The Expensive Gift Was a Compensation for Her 

Benjamin extended some grace finally and reached to zip her dress up. Then he was going to button it up. 

"I'll do it myself." Madelyn's voice trembled. 

She grasped the button but couldn't button it up because it was too slippery. Finally, Benjamin did the button for her. 

He apologized again. 

To make it up to her, he personally called Owen and explained to him the situation of Madelyn's father. 

Owen admired Benjamin, who was younger than him. When Benjamin asked for his help, he immediately agreed and set up the appointment for Madelyn. 

Benjamin exchanged a few more pleasantries before he hung up. 

He sat behind his desk and lit a cigarette, saying to Madelyn, "Tell me if you have other demands besides asking me to represent you." 

Madelyn knew that this would be the last time they would see each other. 

Once, Benjamin would have gotten attached to her body occasionally. However, things were different now. He was determined to make a clean break with her. 

Madelyn was a sensible woman. 

She pretended to be cool. "It's just the sex. I have got nothing to lose! Mr. Clark, thanks for your help..." 

Madelyn got choked up at the last word, but she didn't want to cry in front of him. She and Benjamin were not even friends, and there was no point in being bitter in front of him. 

She said goodbye to him and told him that she would take a taxi back. 

Benjamin still sat there smoking without saying anything, and his eyes were gloomy. 

Madelyn left. 

She didn't go home immediately, because she didn't want to see Camila's disappointed eyes so soon. 

As night fell, Madelyn walked alone on the street. The Ferris wheel in the downtown square lit up with colorful lights, which blink on and off. Young couples were hugging and kissing under the Ferris wheel. 

Madelyn stopped. 

She was watching quietly, her eyes moist while the night wind was blowing. 

A gold Continental drove past Madelyn, and Benjamin saw Madelyn. 

She stood under the Ferris wheel looking up at the stars, and there was attachment and affection in her eyes... Benjamin would not be so narcissistic as to think she was missing him! 

He knew exactly who she was thinking about. 

Benjamin stepped on the gas pedal and the Bentley Continental sped off.
