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

Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Only Two Rooms After the meal, Pierre took Benjamin and the others to a hotel.

Originally, he had arranged for three rooms. Money was not an issue. With three people coming, if they were unwilling to even allocate one room per person, it would be difficult to continue the collaboration.

However, during the time spent dining, Pierre gradually realized that his previous decision seemed to have been flawed.

So when Simon asked how many rooms were booked, he deliberately put on a slightly embarrassed expression and said, “We only booked two rooms… If Mr. Walker feels it’s inappropriate, I can go and add another room. I believe it’s possible!”

“Wasn’t that the perfect arrangement?” Benjamin thought to himself. Simon would have a room all to himself, while Benjamin and Martina would share another room. In his perspective, it was the most suitable and reasonable arrangement.

However… Benjamin naturally couldn’t expose these matters too blatantly, as it would only provoke discontent in Martina’s heart.

At this moment, he deliberately wore a dissatisfied expression and said, “Only two rooms?” Actually, he wasn’t angry at all.

When Benjamin was truly angry, he would be particularly frightening, exuding an undeniable oldness even to those around him. But in this situation, that kind of atmosphere was absent.

Even Pierre noticed it, let alone Simon, who had been by Benjamin’s side for such a long time.

Martina also felt a bit awkward, opening her mouth but unsure of what to say.

Although she had agreed to come here with Benjamin, she had no intention of sharing a room with him. It wasn’t because she was being difficult, but she felt it wasn’t quite appropriate.

Just like when they were at Benjamin’s home, Martina had made efforts to ensure that they had separate rooms, and the same principle applied in this situation as well.

“Then I’ll go to the front desk and ask if there are any available rooms,” Pierre immediately understood, saying. “Actually, since Mr. Walker and Miss Martinez have such a close relationship, even sharing a room should be fine. But I’ll still go and inquire, and try to separate the rooms if possible!”

Pierre was very smart. He had a clear understanding of how the situation unfolded.

He quickly walked to the front desk, had a conversation with the staff, and after a while, he returned with an awkward smile and shook his head.

After another minute or so, Pierre returned, wearing a sincere expression of apology on his face. “Mr. Walker, I’m truly sorry. I didn’t consider it thoroughly earlier. They said that currently there are no available rooms, and if we want to book a room, it would be at least two days from now.”

“Or maybe I should switch to another hotel? There are actually several five–star hotels like this one. How about I-”

Watching Pierre running back and forth like this, Martina felt somewhat embarrassed. In reality, she didn’t have any specific requirements for the room.

Now that the rooms were already booked, even if they were to cancel, they probably wouldn’t get a refund, which was obviously not what she wanted.

At this moment, Martina didn’t realize that she was subtly being manipulated, because she didn’t expect Pierre to be such a shrewd person.

Martina thought to herself that when they were at home, they had slept in the same room before, so why bother overthinking it? Therefore, she simply agreed, “Never mind.

Benjamin and I can share a room.”

If it came down to it, one person could sleep on the bed, and the other could sleep on the floor. After putting on her clothes, even with an additional person in the room, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Pierre immediately nodded with a sense of relief and looked at Martina with even more fondness in her eyes. Of course, this fondness wasn’t the kind of fondness a man would have for a woman; it was simply admiration for how amazing Martina was.

To effortlessly capture Benjamin’s heart was not something an ordinary person could achieve! What’s more, Martina didn’t become arrogant because of the favor of Benjamin, and she was even considerate of others. Just thinking about it made Pierre happy.

“Very much appreciated, Miss Martinez. By the way, ” Pierre asked, “Mr. Walker may be busy with work during these two days. If you feel bored, I can arrange a receptionist from our company to serve as your tour guide.”

Martina declined, “No need, I can manage on my own. I actually have some work to take care of, so I won’t be going out much.”

Hearing those words, Pierre didn’t know what else to say and could only nod in agreement, “Alright then, if there’s anything you need assistance with, feel free to tell me. I’ll do my best to help.”

In the following time, he took the opportunity to briefly explain the layout of this five-star hotel.

The 1st floor of the hotel was the reception area, the 2nd floor was the dining hall, the 3rd floor was the hot spring area, and the 4th floor had some entertainment facilities. Only the 5th floor and above were

the hotel rooms.

Their rooms were on the 8th floor, and Martina’s room number is 888.

Even just for this room number, most people would be willing to pay a higher price to temporarily secure this room. It seemed that Pierre had put a lot of effort and money into impressing Benjamin.

Simon arrived at the room with his luggage, settled his things, and then left.

Benjamin and Martina arrived later.

Their eyes unintentionally met, and Martina felt so uncomfortable, not knowing how to look at Benjamin, especially remembering how they were during the meal. Benjamin was really strange now, going to such great lengths for her sake.

If that didn’t count as fondness, then what did? At least Martina couldn’t refute it at the time.

Because they had already wasted a lot of time, Benjamin preferred to prioritize work and minimize rest time, allowing more time for sightseeing.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Benjamin seemed to intentionally glance at the large.

bed, even pausing for a few seconds. The bed was quite big and looked very soft. It must be comfortable to sleep on, and even if two people were lying on it, they wouldn’t have felt crowded.

Benjamin seemingly unintentionally shifted his gaze back, saying, “I needed to go out for a while. You rest here for now. If you needed anything, just give me a call. I would answer anytime.”

Because of the incident during the test day, Benjamin at the time paid more attention to Martina’s calls. Perhaps that was a subtle change.

Previously, he couldn’t have been so single–minded, but now he was different. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Sometimes, it seemed that coincidence could have led to unexpected success, just like how Martina genuinely wanted to leave, but it had ended up prompting Benjamin to change.
