Chapter 30 Benjamin's Decision

Madelyn felt her heartbeat quicken.

She caressed her screen with her slender fingers. But after hesitating for a long while, she still decided

not to send him a message right away. And she sent him a message half an hour later.

[Madelyn] I'm sorry, Mr. Clark. I fell asleep.

On the other side...

Holding a goblet of wine, Benjamin chuckled when he saw Madelyn's message.

'The reserved Madelyn is so cute.' He thought to himself.

He didn't reply to the message and just slowly sipped the wine in the goblet.

Benjamin didn't show up before Madelyn in the next few days. But he would send a message to

Madelyn from time to time. Sometimes it would be a photo, and sometimes it would be one or two

sentences that were said in a lazy yet enchanting mature tone.

Madelyn wouldn't reply to his messages every time.

But both of them were clear about the chemistry between them.

Early in the morning of today, Madelyn received a call from Benjamin when she was on the way to

work.

After hesitating for a while, she answered the call and greeted, "Mr. Clark."

Sitting in the car, Benjamin had a document on his knees. It was Samuel's case.

Benjamin suddenly recalled when he asked Owen for the document, the latter smiled meaningfully and

said, "Benjamin, why did you change your mind? Was it because of Ms. Green? I think she's a good

girl. My son David likes her very much..."

At that time, Benjamin only smiled blandly and asked Owen not to tell Madelyn about this.

He told him that he still needed to consider it.

Right now, Benjamin softly flipped through the document while saying to Madelyn who was at the other

end of the line, "I need to go out on a trip for a week. Let's meet when I come back. I want to tell you

something."

Madelyn didn't know what he wanted to say, but she knew that it would only benefit her if she could

maintain a good relationship with Benjamin.

She replied an "ok" in a soft voice.

Benjamin suddenly felt his heart soften. He lowered his voice as if he was murmuring to his lover, "Why

are you so obedient and soft? Don't you know that men would bully you if they see you being like this?"

Madelyn blushed and was wordless for a long while.

Benjamin chuckled, deciding to let go of her.

After ending the call, he looked at the document for a long while... This decision was not merely about

a transaction, it was also mixed with his distress for Madelyn. He thought he would as well take it as

compensation for her.

...

On the other side...

When Madelyn put down her phone, she pondered what Benjamin wanted to say to her a week later.

As she was thinking wildly about it, she almost missed her station.

She hurriedly ran to the Music Center. But when she clocked in, she found her colleagues' gazes

toward her strange.

Madelyn didn't know what was wrong. In the end, one of her colleagues who had a good relationship

with her secretly told her, "Madelyn, Ms. Waylon knew that you were doing a part-time job outside. She

may ask you for a talk later. I heard that the informer was Elizabeth. You two were recruited at the

same time, but you taught well, so quality students all swarmed to you. She had been unhappy about it

for a long time and now she finally got a chance."

Madelyn was dumbfounded for a while.

Her colleague told her many things in a low voice like everyone here could understand her as they

knew she was in difficulty. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Right at this moment, Penelope's assistant walked over and politely asked Madelyn to go to Penelope's

office.

Madelyn followed her to the director's office which was located on the second floor. The assistant

knocked on the door and said, "Ms. Waylon, Ms. Green is here."

"Come in." A male voice sounded from inside.

Madelyn opened the door and then walked into the office.

Penelope was a shrewd, capable woman in her forties. Right at this moment, she was sitting behind

the desk and reading a document with her head lowered.

When seeing Madelyn, she signaled her to sit down.

Madelyn wanted to explain, but Penelope interrupted her with a gesture, "It's true that Elizabeth is the

informer. But I've known about it long ago and kept a blind eye to it. But Madelyn, from yesterday on,

some parents successively learned that you were doing a part-time job outside and many of them

clamored for replacing you. I got dozens of phone calls today. You also know that students who study

piano in our Music Center are all from either rich or powerful families. Not to mention me, even our

boss, Mr. Roman, can't afford to offend them."

Madelyn naturally understood as Penelope had analyzed it to this point.

She didn't want to put Penelope, who had been kind to her in the workplace, in a dilemma, nor could

she stay in the Music Center cheekily. She gently took off her badge, put it on the desk, and said in a

soft tone, "Thank you for taking care of me over the past years."
