Chapter 207 Go to Esrand to Give Her a Surprise
Business trip?
Benjamin sobered up a lot even if he hadn't drunk the sober-up soup.
He let go of her and leaned against the kitchen counter behind him. Originally, he wanted to smoke, but he gave up as he suddenly remembered that Madelyn had had some problems with her throat recently.
Madelyn gave him the bowl of soup and said, "I go there for Mr. Zachary's project. It's very promising."
Benjamin couldn't help but ask, "Is it the reward for taking care of his child?"
Madelyn thought his words harsh, although it was the truth.
Sitting on the counter, Benjamin slowly sipped the sober-up soup. He asked again, "Will Nicolas go with you?"
Madelyn knew he was unhappy now.
In fact, she didn't need to explain it. However, she was aware that probably he wouldn't let her go if she didn't say anything. After weighing, she said blandly, "I got the chance because of him and I can't explain to Mr. Zachary if I don't take Nicolas with me. Moreover, we're not the only two to go. We have six people in our team."
Benjamin didn't say anything about it.
It was a tacit approval.
He reached his hand into his pocket and touched the small velvet box again.
He measured her finger when they watched the movie last time.
And he'd gotten the rough circumference of her index finger.
He'd been wanting to gift her a ring, but he couldn't find a reason. Traditional Valentine's Day would be a good chance.
Maybe she wouldn't accept it, but Benjamin thought Madelyn could at least feel his sincerity as she was such a soft-hearted person. Just like last time, although they'd broken up, she still lied to his grandmother to comfort her.
Benjamin took Madelyn as a family now.
He wanted so much to take her to his grandmother's tomb.
But he held the desire back.
One day, when Madelyn was willing to marry him, he would take her there.
...
As Madelyn needed to go to the other city tomorrow, she didn't stay in the villa tonight. Benjamin asked the driver to send her back.
The luxurious living room of the villa looked a bit lonely after Madelyn's leaving even if the chandelier made the whole villa illuminating. Sitting on the sofa alone, Benjamin took out the velvet box from his pocket.
Inside the box was a diamond ring.
It had 52 karat.
All women liked diamonds.
There were only three days to the Traditional Valentine's Day!
Benjamin wanted so much to spend the Traditional Valentine's Day with Madelyn. He wanted to make up for her. Moreover, he wanted to spend this traditional festival for lovers with her.
He called Paisley after pondering for a while and said, "Rearrange my schedule. I'll go to Esrand on the Traditional Valentine's Day and the day after it."
Paisley asked casually, "Is there a new case in Esrand?"
Benjamin leaned back, resting his head on the sofa, and directly told her, "No. But Madelyn will go there for a business trip."
Paisley immediately understood.
She replied smilingly, "Then Mr. Clark, happy Valentine's Day."
Benjamin was in a good mood after ending the call. He didn't plan to tell Madelyn about his plan.
After all, women all like surprises.
...
Madelyn and her team worked in Esrand for two consecutive days.
It was a profitable project, but it also required great effort.
The framework of the development plan was basically formed after two days and all members of Madelyn's team rested their heads on the desk tiredly.
But Madelyn was an exception!
With two dark circles under his eyes, Nicolas remarked sarcastically, "Woman, how can you disregard your life for the sake of money? Holly shit! I've only slept for 4 hours in total during these two days!"
Madelyn signaled her secretly with her eyes.
The secretary then took out a suitcase.
When the suitcase was unzipped, stacks of notes were presented to them. The secretary took out the stacks of notes and divided them into five.
There were at least 200,000 for each stack!
They all cheered up and straightened their backs, staring at the notes without even blinking.
Madelyn said with a smile, "Take them. 200,000 for each person. By the way, Mr. Zachary will hold a banquet at the hotel tonight. Go buy your gowns and have a temporary relaxation tonight."
The team members all cheered, "Ms. Green, you're so generous!"
200,000 was never a big amount for Nicholas at usual times. However, he admired Madelyn very much because, in this way, she won the loyalty of her team members.
