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

Chapter 124: The Business Trip
If it weren’t for the concern that his anger might scare Martina and make her more inclined to leave him, Benjamin would not have tolerated the situation like this.

Simon was responsible for driving and could clearly see Benjamin’s displeased expression through the rearview camera.

Because of Miss Martinez’s presence, the boss had to suppress his temper and endure something. This situation had never happened before, but was now happening right in front of him.

Martina noticed that Benjamin remained silent and couldn’t help asking again, “Did you hear what I just said? You better not have any bad ideas about Alejandro or the Rodríguez family. What happened yesterday wasn’t their fault; it was my own lack of vigilance. If anyone is to blame, it should be the criminal.”

Benjamin let out a deep sigh and reluctantly nodded, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to them.”

Once Benjamin had a girl who was his whole world, but in the end, he managed to lose her himself, and he had to silently bear the consequences. Perhaps no one could understand his current state of mind better than himself.

If only he had always chosen to stand by Martina’s side unconditionally, many things might have turned out differently. Not to mention that today Martina stood up for another man!

On the way back home, Benjamin and Martina remained silent, and the atmosphere between them became somewhat awkward. It wasn’t until they were close to home that Benjamin finally took the initiative to speak, “I have a business trip the day after tomorrow, probably for three days.”

Martina had heard these words countless times before.

Every time, Benjamin would hastily spend a day with her, and even less than half a day, before going on a business trip. But it seemed that Benjamin’s frequency of business trips had greatly reduced during this period, and this was his first business trip since Martina had returned.
