NovelEnglishChapter 353 Her Concern
He said he was meeting a client.
Harper secretly snorted.
Benjamin sensed Harper's displeasure and subconsciously held her hand more tightly. His reaction and
expression seemed to be telling Harper he would explain later.
Dorcas smiled, "Benjamin, | didn't expect you to be hen-pecked now. | won't dare to ask you to meet again."
Benjamin gave a faint smile and said nothing.
Dorcas continued, "Ms. Mitchell, please don't get this wrong. Benjamin and | are business partners. The recent
architectural designer competition was the first cooperation with Benjamin after | took over the Madison Group,
so we would communicate more often. Ms. Mitchell, if you have any worries, we can have each other's number.
Whenever | meet with Benjamin to discuss work, | will make a video call to you so that you two won't be upset."
Dorcas' words were very tactful. She didn't show any displeasure or sarcasm, but she looked completely frank

However, Harper felt very uncomfortable hearing it.
But she didn't show it. She just smiled, looked at Benjamin, and finally set her eyes on Dorcas.
She said, "Ms. Madison, it's good advice, but I'm not that strict or unreasonable. It's just that Benjamin likes to
exchange schedules with me. I've told him many times, but he never listened. Ms. Madison, you should know
him better. Can you helppersuade him?" Dorcas was subconsciously stunned for a moment and looked at
Benjamin, only to see him smiling. He wasn't angry at all. Instead, he agreed with her words.
Dorcas and Lily couldn't see Benjamin gently scratching Harper's palm under the table as if telling her that
Dorcas would be punished for confusing right and wrong.
Lily also smiled, "Ms. Madison, you may not know, but since Benjamin got married, he has been clingy to Harper.
Can you believe that he often comes to Harper's company to check on her? Not to mention you, even I, his mom,
can't believe it."
Of course, Dorcas didn't believe it, but Benjamin didn't refute it, which made her fall into thought and
questioning.
There was silence. Harper didn't
want to stay here any longer. After all, Doreas cooperated with the Martin Group and was a college classmate of
Benjamin. She had to look at the bigger picture.
She said, "Ms. Madison, I'll leave you and Benjamin to talk. Lily and | got to go. You finally made it to Mayby. You

Dorcas was stunned momentarily, nodded, and said, "Ms. Mitchell, that's very kind."
"It's just what | should do. After all, you are Benjamin's friend and the Martin Group's partner."
Dorcas responded with a smile.
Then, Harper and Lily left.
Before coming out, Lily told the waiter, "Benjamin will pay the bill."
After getting in the car, Lily kept paying attention to the changes in Harper's expression. Her stare was so

Harper said, "Lily, I'm fine. They are college classmates and friends, and they now have a partnership. Actually, it
doesn't matter if they have a meal and chat."
What concerned Harper was that Benjamin always subconsciously hid something from her.
When he replied to the message, he could say he was having dinner or coffee with a female college classmate.
Such a confession would make Harper feel nothing wrong.
Lily sent her back to the company. Before Harper got out of the car, she said uneasily, "Harper, are you
unhappy?"
She wasn't narrow-minded or irrational.
