Chapter 378 Meet Up
Benjamin always knew her intelligence. Sometimes, a simple word from her could suffice, but Harper preferred
to make others realize it on their own and take the initiative. Benjamin smiled in resignation.
However, he was unaware that Harper acted this way simply to avoid appearing submissive, preserving her pride
and self-respect as a woman.
Dorcas had been around Mayby for almost half a month, working closely with Benjamin, which was no secret.
Lauren had stumbled upon this information unintentionally.
Of course, she knew Dorcas. Back then, she had given Dorcas quite the cold shoulder. Now, As Lauren saw
Dorcas cling to Benjamin again, it stirred up anger within her.
Lauren went directly to the hospital to confront Harper, exasperatedly demanding, "Why are you so useless?
Benjamin is getting close to Dorcas, and you're just letting it happen? Do you even realize that Dorcas has ill
intentions towards Benjamin?" Harper chuckled.
She couldn't fathom where Lauren found the audacity to question her like this.

In a cold tone, Harper retorted, "By what right do you demand this of me? Lauren, why are you so anxious? What
does this have to do with you?"
"You... You're not even worthy of being Benjamin's wife. Your position as Mrs. Martin is unstable at best. Just wait
and see!" Lauren spat out in frustration.
Harper paid no mind to Lauren's words. She was too busy these days, living each day to the fullest.
However, after being shut down by Harper, Lauren went straight to find Dorcas.
A significant dispute erupted between Lauren and Dorcas. As a result, Dorcas left Lauren speechless. In their
conversation, Lauren was no match for Dorcas and eventually had to leave. Later, Dorcas took the initiative to
call Harper, asking, "Are you free? Can we meet for afternoon break?"
Harper agreed, and the two arranged to meet at a high-end music bar near Harper's office.
Arriving almost simultaneously, they sat down, ordered drinks and fruit, and then Dorcas spoke up. "I hope I'm
not interrupting your work by asking you out."
Harper shook her head. "No, is there something on your mind?"
"Not really, it's just that Lauren approachedand said sthings | didn't appreciate."
"Do you think | sent her to talk to you?" Harper asked, puzzled.
Dorcas hurriedly denied, "I didn't
think that way, | just wanted to be honest with you. I've liked Benjamin for many years, but I've never expressed
my feelings. Benjamin was with Lauren before, and now that you're married, it seems like We're destined to be
apart. Perhaps we're better off as friends."
Harper's expression remained neutral as she asked, "I'm quite surprised that you are confessing your feelings for
Benjamin to me, his wife, Ms. Madison."
"Because it's the truth." Dorcas didn't
evade the topic, maintaining eye contact with Harper. She said, "But rest assured, | won't meddle in
others' marriages and relatione
My admiration for him is one-sided.

If I've caused any trouble recently, | apologize, and I'll be more mindful in the future."
Harper looked at Dorcas. Although she was unfamiliar with Dorcas, Harper was certain that Dorcas wasn't like
Lauren.
Harper also spoke candidly. "I'm
quite surprised that you are saying these things to me. However, you're right. You two should maintain a
distance. Getting too close will only lead to you being labeled as overly intimate with a married mano Regardless
of your intentions, that label will stick with you, as outsiders
won't truly understand if you've done
anything."
"lI understand what you're saying. Thank you for sharing these thoughts with me. | believe we'll becfriends
in the near future."
Harper smiled, "I look forward to that day."
They raised their juice glasses in a toast, temporarily reaching an agreement.
After coming out of the music bar, Harper just got into the car, and Benjamin called the next moment. His voice
was a little solemn. "Harper, where are you?"
