Fleeing the Gilded Cage: Don’t Want to be the Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 62: Is This the Real Reason?
As Simon left the room, only the two of them were left behind.

The atmosphere not only didn’t improve, but it grew increasingly oppressive.

This oppressive feeling emanated not only from Benjamin, but also from Martina.

After Simon left the ward, he stayed with Leslie, and the two of them sat on a bench in the hospital, both sighed deeply at the same time.

Leslie took a sip of coffee to console himself, saying, “Simon, why are you sighing?

What’s wrong with you?”

Simon scratched his head and said, “Nothing, just got my bonus deducted for three months.”

Leslie heartily wrapped Simon’s arm around the shoulder, saying, “Come on, it’s not a big deal. I had my entire year’s bonus deducted! Just because we couldn’t find Miss Martinez, I’m afraid I’ll be without salary and bonus for the next year.”

However, it wasn’t this that truly made Simon sigh. It was merely a pretext.

He glanced at Leslie beside him and asked, “By the way… do you think Miss Martinez is actually angry or just throwing a tantrum?”

Leslie paused for a moment, then actually started to ponder seriously. But within a few. ‘seconds, he punched Simon and said, “Wait a minute, your question is no different from not asking at all. What do you mean by ‘angry or throwing a tantrum”?”

Of course, Simon was at a loss for alternate ways to phrase the question.

Was it truly necessary for him to ask about Miss Martinez’s intentions regarding leaving the boss? It seemed far from realistic. If he were to actually pose such a question, who could predict what kind of complications might arise as a result?

“Forget it, let’s not meddle in the affairs of a couple, especially when one of them is the boss,” Leslie sighed again. “With someone like the boss, we’ll never be able to understand their mindset. Instead of wasting time and energy on that, let’s think about how we’ll survive without our salaries and bonuses.”

Simon was left speechless. Indeed, he and Leslie had different perspectives, so they could only respect each other.

Just when Simon thought that they had run out of common topics, Leslie signed and said again, “By the way, Miss Martinez is quite capable. It has been about a month since she disappeared intermittently during this time.”

“She managed to evade my surveillance for a whole month. It’s simply impossible.”

“I remember she never had such a big temper before. Most of the time, the boss coula appease her with just a few casual words.”

“But this time, she seems to have taken it more seriously, otherwise she wouldn’t have done this.”
