Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186 Only He Can Make Her Cry!

As Madelyn was about to leave, she ran into Benjamin at the elevator entrance. He was holding a file, looking like he was there for a business discussion.

Benjamin walked out of the elevator while Madelyn stepped in.

He stopped the elevator doors from closing with his hand.

It had been a while since they last saw each other, and he missed her so much. But in the end, he just pretended to be calm and asked, "How have you been lately?"

Madelyn was leaning against the elevator wall.

Madelyn felt she was too weak to say anything as their eyes met. After a moment, she softly replied, "Not bad."

Benjamin was gazing at her.

In a husky voice, he spoke, "I'll be attending the celebration banquet tonight. Are you...going to dance with David?"

Madelyn paused.

In fact, she hadn't invited David, and she wasn't his date. However, if David were to show up, dancing with him was also part of normal social interaction.

Madelyn chose not to deny it.

Benjamin just kept smiling and didn't show any signs of displeasure. Instead, he said affectionately, "Have a great time!"

After saying that, he left.

Madelyn felt a shiver down her spine.

Somehow she thought Benjamin, who appeared so composed, was even more formidable than when he was persistently pursuing her. The way he looked at her indicated that he hadn't given up, but he pretended he didn't care about it at all.

She almost didn't want to attend the banquet.

However, as one of the ten outstanding young persons, she had already attracted attention earlier in the day. The influential figures in Gredax wouldn't let her skip the banquet. With just a few phone calls. She had to show up anyway.

...

The banquet took place on the 32nd floor of the Diamond Hotel.

Prominent figures who were dressed formally and elegantly filled the room.

It was a good opportunity to expand her social network, and Madelyn wouldn't give it up for personal reasons. Holding a glass of champagne, she socialized with other guests.

Vivian was also here with Grayson and asked him to introduce Madelyn to several connections.

Madelyn was confident and had easy manners.

She had to ignore the gaze on her from the second floor...

Benjamin stood on the balcony of the banquet hall, dressed in a suit and tie. Leaning against the railing, he quietly stared at Madelyn, though the emotions in his eyes were so strong that even Vivian could tell he was in love with her.

She leaned in close to Madelyn and whispered in her ear, "Just by the way he looks, it seems like he hasn't been with anyone since you two broke up. He couldn't take his eyes off you."

Madelyn didn't need to look at him.

When they were together, Benjamin had an insatiable desire for her. He often looked at her with that longing gaze. With his handsome appearance and charm, few women could resist him.

Many socialites were peeking at him...

A lot of women in Gredax secretly fantasized about sleeping with Mr. Clark.

But Madelyn had no interest in that. She ignored his gaze, acting as if he weren't there.

Instead, she accepted the invitations of other gentlemen and danced with them. She made a deliberate effort to draw a line between her and Benjamin and let everyone know that she had nothing to do with the Clark family.

During the latter part of the banquet, David came to her.

Lately, David had been busy, and it had been a week since he had been around her.

As David walked over, he looked over to the second floor.

Benjamin gracefully raised his champagne glass to David!

His captivating demeanor made the hearts of the women in the room skip a beat. Vivian whispered to Madelyn, "Aside from being a total jerk, he's ridiculously good-looking. Actually, everyone in their circle is quite attractive, but none of them could compare with Benjamin!"

Madelyn coughed and said, "Should I tell Grayson about this?"

Vivian quickly pleaded for mercy.

Just then, David was standing in front of her and extended his invitation to Madelyn, "Ms. Green, may I have the honor?"

Vivian covered her face with her hands.

Damn! When David was serious, he looked really charming!

Madelyn smiled, placed her hand in David's, and accepted his invitation.
