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

At this moment, Leslie must have been out of his mind to even entertain such a thought. But despite his thoughts, Martina and Leslie ended up following Elena into the bar.

Compared to other bars, this one was relatively safe, as it had several security guards stationed both inside and outside the establishment, ready to respond to any potential issues promptly.

No wonder Elena felt at ease having fun here; it seemed like she had already had a few drinks herself. She led Martina to a corner table, which seemed inconspicuous. On the table were some freshly served drinks and beverages,

“Martina, I really missed you! I was planning to call you today to ask when you’d be back, but you’ve come back on your own!” Elena exclaimed. “You will stay this time, right? What did Benjamin say about it?”

Martina nodded and replied, “Yeah, this time I won’t leave. How could I leave just after coming back today? Benjamin has other arrangements to handle, so he won’t be going on business trips in the near future.”

Moreover, even if Benjamin did go on a business trip, Martina couldn’t keep following him all the time; that wouldn’t be appropriate. There was no real collaboration between Benjamin and Martina. While occasionally going on a business trip together was acceptable, frequent trips might lead to gossip.

Elena seemed to have figured out Martina’s thoughts and cheerfully kissed her cheek. “So, does that mean we can work together again? That’s great!”

“By the way, Martina, I forgot to tell you. Yesterday, we got a new project at our studio, and it’s a big one! I thought I couldn’t handle it on my own, so I wanted you to help me. Who knew we would have such great chemistry between us!” Elena added.

Martina chuckled and looked at the carefree Elena. She couldn’t help feeling both helpless and amused by her friend’s exuberance.

There was no way around it. Martina was Martina’s best friend, after all. Martina could only spoil her.

“What big project?” Martina hadn’t heard about it before. When it came to work, she became especially serious, wanting to know all the details.
