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." Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
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.
After taking the money, Nicolas said in a low voice, "Good job. Would you like to be my dance partner
tonight?"
Madelyn refused it.
She retorted just like how he treated her before, "I don't want to dance with a man younger than me.
Nicolas snorted and then strode out.
Madelyn then began to pack up her things.
She must attend tonight's banquet. On the one hand, it was a respect to Tyler; on the other hand, she
needed to expand her social connections.
She went back to the hotel and changed into her gown.
It was a champagne gown with embroideries on it. It was said to be an haute couture of a domestic
brand with a value of 800,000. And it couldn't be bought merely with money. It required strong
backgrounds.
Of course, it was bought by Vivian.
Madelyn put on make-up after changing into the gown. She called Vivian and told her the gown was too
luxurious.
Vivian replied in a dramatic voice, "So what? You're doing business now, so you must let others know
that you have a strong background at first glance. After all, the tailor makes the man."
Madelyn studied her reflection in the mirror.
She really looked noble and beautiful.
She picked up a purse and walked into the elevator, heading to the banquet hall on the second floor.
When she arrived, she found the banquet hall very lively. It was a grand banquet.
Nicolas had arrived early. He was dressed up and was now standing beside Tyler.
Madelyn walked over.
Nicolas looked her up and down and remarked with a snort, "Not bad."
Madelyn didn't want to quibble with him. She greeted Tyler.
Tyler admired her very much and introduced her to several big shots who might be useful to her.
Madelyn associated with them gracefully, while Nicolas got more and more anxious.
This woman would smile to others but she always cold-shouldered him!
Fuck!
Who would care about it?
When Nicolas was gritting his teeth...
Tyler laughed loudly and said, "Madelyn, you should know this person. He's David James, son of the
lawyer Owen James from Gredax. Like father, like son. David is a very successful businessman in the
South now."
Madelyn froze a bit.
David!
It was actually David!
She hadn't heard any news about him for half a year. She didn't ask about it. Nor did anyone talk about
him with her. Even Florence wouldn't bring up David when she learned piano from her.
Madelyn came back to her sense and slowly turned around.
Holding a goblet, David was looking at her affectionately.
He looked mature and somehow different.
Madelyn felt touched and called softly, "David."
David smiled at her. He put down his goblet and reached out. Madelyn hesitated a bit before shaking
hands with her.
Tyler laughed and said, "Turns out you know each other."
Madelyn slowly came back to her sense. She replied with a smile, "I'm teaching his younger sister
piano. She's been my student for a year."
Tyler had a moment of enlightenment.
Nicolas who stood beside him rolled his eyes heavenward.
Bullshit.
Sister? Learning Piano? The truth was that David had had a crush on Madelyn for several years. But
he was sent to the South by Benjamin after confessing to Madelyn.
By the way, Benjamin's methods were really vicious!
The more Nicolas studied David, the more he thought him an eyesore.
Shit!
How long was she going to stare at him? How long were they going to talk?
Nicolas wanted to walk forward, but he was amused when he spotted a person. Benjamin was here!
He was also dressed up. Probably he came to send his gift for Traditional Valentine's Day to Madelyn
and spend the festival alone with her!
But he must haven't expected this!
That Madelyn would bump into David!
Benjamin must feel very jealous now!
Nicolas was very happy about this and he began to laugh. Probably because his laughter was too loud,
it drew Madelyn's attention. She looked over following Nicolas' gaze...
Then she saw Benjamin!
