Chapter 140: I Can Prove It If You Don’t Believe Me.
In the morning, Martina just woke up to find that Benjamin was nowhere to be seen.
She had no idea when he had gotten up. Despite his condition, he didn’t seem to have any
plans of resting.
Martina pondered for a moment and decided to message him. “Are you working? The
doctor said you need to rest.”
Outside the room, Benjamin had prepared some breakfast, carefully selecting dishes
that Martina loved.
In the past, he didn’t know how to take care of someone properly, and he made some
mistakes in this regard. However, after this period of time and effort, he had come to
understand Martina better than ever.
Knowing her tastes and habits well, he was attentive to her needs, proving that
sometimes, it wasn’t just about a man being too busy or something; if he truly desired to
change, he would take action.
Benjamin looked at the message on his phone, and the smile on his face couldn’t be
contained. He didn’t reply but used his key card to open the door.
Startled, Martina was standing barefoot on the floor, holding a bottle for defense. She
must have been scared by yesterday’s incident, causing her to act subconsciously. “Who’s
there?!”
When Martina recognized the person in front of her, she finally felt relieved. “Benjamin?.
Where did you come from? Where were you just now?”
“Just got up, went downstairs to get some breakfast, Benjamin replied. “Let’s eat
together.”
Martina nodded, but she faintly smelled a bloody scent. Then suddenly, she pounced on
Benjamin like a hungry wolf.
Benjamin’s eyes seemed to contain stars, and his gaze could only hold Martina’s figure.
“What’s wrong? Do you want me?” Benjamin teased, purposely poking where it mattered
most, making Martina’s cheeks turn red again.
Martina gave Benjamin an annoyed stare, but she wasn’t really angry. “What are you
thinking? I just smelled a bloody scent and got worried that your wound might have opened
- up. Let me see!”
Without further words, Martina took off Benjamin’s shirt, forgetting in the moment what
it meant to respect boundaries between men and women.

Benjamin brought up the topic again, “Last night, you were telling me to be respectful of our differences as men and women. So, what are you doing now?”
Martina’s lips twitched, and she could only offer a forced explanation, “I’m obviously taking care of your wound. What do you think I’m doing?”
She checked the upper half of Benjamin’s body, making sure his wound hadn’t opened up again. The bloody scent might have been just her imagination, and she finally felt relieved. “It’s good that it hasn’t opened up, otherwise, all the recovery efforts from last
night would’ve been in vain.”
Benjamin took it all in, and the warmth in his eyes couldn’t be shaken off again. Perhaps, the current relationship was the best.
Since Benjamin was fine, Martina could sit down and eat with peace of mind. During the meal, she couldn’t help but ask, “Regarding your work, do you still need to work today?” Martina blinked and continued, “If you trust me, why don’t you let me go with Simon? I actually have some insights in this area as well. With his help and your presence, I believe there shouldn’t be any major issues, and our collaboration should go as we planned.”
The concern was solely for Benjamin’s health. He needed proper rest and shouldn’t be stressed too much. These were the doctor’s words, and Martina had taken them to heart.
To her surprise, Benjamin shook his head. “No need. Do you see me as that fragile?” Momentarily rendered speechless, Martina felt that any response she gave would be misjudged. Whether she said yes or no, it would be like dancing in Benjamin’s restricted territory. She awkwardly pursed her lips and remained silent for quite a while.
How could Benjamin, with such an understanding of Martina, not comprehend her
thoughts?
Fortunately, he didn’t dwell on these questions for too long. “Today’s work arrangement is not too demanding. After we sign a contract together, we can go to the first tourist spot
and take a stroll.”
Martina instinctively refused. He was injured anyway, how could he still think about having fun?
Previously, Benjamin used to prioritize work so much that even if Martina was angry, he would only come to comfort her after finishing his work! Why now, he kept making such significant changes repeatedly, she felt overwhelmed with pressure!
“If you’re only going to sign a contract, it shouldn’t take much time. After that, you should come back and rest. Sightseeing is not important; taking care of your health is the priority. Martina insisted.
me..”
Benjamin’s attitude was resolute. “My body is fine. I can prove it if you don’t believe
Martina furrowed her brows, clearly not believing him. “How can you prove it?”

She watched as Benjamin got up, leaned on the table, and whispered something gently
in Martina’s ear.
Right after that, Martina’s expression changed once again.
“You are absolutely mad!!” Martina couldn’t hold back and blurted out her inner
thoughts.
This man was indeed insane, how could he treat his own body like this?
Despite the injury, he was still preoccupied with such intimate matters between a man
and a woman. He must be crazy!
Perhaps to prevent Benjamin from doing something really crazy on the spot, Martina
had to walk away.
After a while, both of them had dressed up and left the hotel. Simon drove, and they
headed to the place where they would discuss work later.
When Martina and the others arrived, it was evident that the other party had also been waiting for a long time, as there was already a whole team of people gathered here, who were possibly the company’s high–level executives and some ordinary employees.
As soon as they saw Benjamin getting off the car first, they all shouted in unison,
“Hello, Mr. Walker!”
Benjamin didn’t even lift his eyelids and, in the next second, he extended a hand
towards the still–open car door. This scene left many people puzzled, looking at Benjamin’s
reaction with confusion.
Some even whispered cautiously, “What is Mr. Walker doing? Does he have someone
with him? I remember Mr. Walker is a germaphobe, everyone knows that.”
Among the people present, perhaps only Pierre understood who could receive such
treatment from Benjamin. It seemed that Miss Martinez was also here, otherwise, others.
wouldn’t have received this kind of treatment.
Pierre cleared his throat silently, checked his hairstyle on the phone screen to make
sure everything was fine, and took a few steps forward.
Here she came.
