Flash Marriage: My Penniless Billionaire Husband

Janice shook her head. "No, thanks."

Benjamin poured a cup of earl grey in front of her.

"I remember that you used to like drinking earl grey tea."

Benjamin sat opposite her.

Janice felt awkward. She refused to look at Benjamin’s eyes and directly said, "Director Taylor, I have something to say."

Hearing her cold tone, Benjamin frowned. "Janice, I prefer you to call me as you used to."

Janice just looked down at the tea on the table.

"Well, what’s the matter?"

Benjamin didn’t insist.

Then Janice said, "I came to thank you."

Benjamin was quite surprised. He had not helped Janice at all yesterday.

He said with some shame, "I didn’t do anything yesterday."

His words surprised her, but then she reminded herself of what Christopher had said last night. "Maybe the person who helped you doesn’t need your thanks."

Thus, she said, "Despite that, I have to thank you. Tonight... I’ve reserved a seat in Moonshine Restaurant. I want to treat you to a meal. I hope you can come."

Benjamin was planning to further explain, but he changed his mind when he heard Janice’s invitation.

He said, "I’ll definitely go."

Then Janice got up and said, "Great. I’ll see you later then."

She promptly left his office.

Benjamin couldn’t help feeling excited. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

That evening, Janice called Yvonne when she came out of the TV station.

"Yvonne, are you off work yet?"

On the other side of the phone, Yvonne was changing clothes in the locker room. She said, "I just got off work."

"Well, I’ll wait for you in the Moonshine Restaurant."

Then Janice hung up the phone and stopped a taxi.

However, she didn’t notice that there was a black Bentley following behind.

When she arrived at the Moonshine Restaurant, Janice paid the fare and got out of the car. When she walked in, she saw Benjamin who had already sat down.

Janice walked over.

"Hi, Janice."

Benjamin stood up.

Janice nodded. "Have a seat."

The two sat down.

Benjamin looked a little excited, his eyes fixing on Janice’s face.

Janice felt awkward and kept looking at the time, hoping Yvonne would come soon.

Noticing that she had been looking at the time, Benjamin quickly said, "What do you want to eat? Let me treat you today."

Janice immediately refused, "No, no, no. I’ve said that I will treat you. You can order first. I’ll make a phone call to ask Yvonne when she will come."

Then Janice picked up the phone and walked out.

Benjamin had thought Janice had only invited him. He didn’t expect that Yvonne would also come.

"Mr. Bateman, Ms. Gladwell seems to be there."

In the car, Rob pointed to Janice who was making a phone call at the door.

Christopher also saw her. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Later you can pretend to be the guest. Remember, don’t let her see you."

"Yes, sir."

After Janice went into the restaurant, Rob got out of the car and followed behind.

...

Janice depressedly sat back in her seat. Yvonne had promised to come, but now those plans had fallen through.

Feeling she was a bit down, Benjamin asked, "Is anything wrong?"

Janice answered, "Nothing. Yvonne told me she couldn’t come. Have you ordered yet?"

Then Janice picked up the menu.

Hearing this, Benjamin was secretly a little gratified.

He wanted to be alone with Janice.

Benjamin casually ordered a few dishes. As for Janice, she had no appetite at all, so she didn’t order much.

While waiting for the dishes, the silent atmosphere was especially awkward. Benjamin broke the silence by saying, "Janice, how have you been for the past three years?"

Hearing his words, Janice frowned again.

She remembered having to spend a long time recovering from the sudden disappearance of Benjamin.

She even gave up her favorite major, broadcasting, and chose to be a reporter.

Because she thought it would be easier to find him as a reporter.

However, in the past three years, no matter how hard she had tried, she still couldn’t find any trace of him.

He seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth. "Director Taylor, can you not bring it up?" She then took a sip of water to hide her panic.

Benjamin realized that he asked the wrong question. "Sorry, I shouldn’t have mentioned it. Well, I’m preparing to launch a talk show. I think you might be interested. Do you want to give it a try?"

Janice hadn’t expected that he still remembered her interest in broadcasting.

However, in view of their current relationship, it seemed that it was not a good idea to accept this task.

After all, she didn’t want any preferential treatment.

"Thanks for giving me this opportunity, but I’m satisfied with my current job. You’d better give it to someone else."

Benjamin didn’t expect that Janice would directly reject him. After all, that used to be her dream job.

Moreover, he really did not think Janice was suitable to be a reporter.

However, since Janice refused so directly, Benjamin did not insist anymore. He just said, "Just give it some thought. If you change your mind, let me know."

Janice did not say anything.

Soon, the dishes were served.

Janice didn’t have an appetite and only took a few bites.

As for Benjamin, he ate even less.

He looked at Janice from time to time. He had missed her so much.

He stared at Janice, knowing how much he wanted to have her again.

"Janice, are you still single now?" Benjamin suddenly asked.

Hearing his words, Janice choked on the water she was drinking and coughed painfully.

Seeing this, Benjamin quickly handed her a napkin.

"Are you okay?"

Janice didn’t take the tissue and just cover her mouth with her hands. She felt so embarrassed.

Seeing this, Benjamin quickly walked behind her, patting her gently.

And such a scene had been recorded by Rob, who was sat at the next table.

...

In the car, Christopher was watching the live broadcast sent by Rob.

When he saw the scene, he was livid.

How dare this man take advantage of Janice?

Christopher couldn’t stand it anymore. Then he got out of the car and rushed in.

At this time, Rob was still broadcasting.

In the camera lens, Benjamin patted Janice on the back and asked, "Are you all right?"

Janice felt embarrassed and was about to avoid him. At this moment, an arm suddenly stretched out to pull her up.

The next second, she was held in a warm embrace.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in the camera. As soon as Rob saw it was Mr.

Bateman, he quickly put away his phone and walked over.

When Janice saw the sudden appearance of Christopher, She asked surprisedly, "Why are you here?"

Christopher didn’t look at her. Instead, he stared at Benjamin who was standing opposite him.

He was already very uncomfortable when he saw Janice eating with a man.

Moreover, the man had taken the credit that belonged to him, which made him even angrier.

And now, he dared to fondle Janice. How could he do that?

Benjamin was also staring at him.

His eyes were fixed on Christopher’s hand, which was holding Janice.

What was the relationship between him and Janice?>

Benjamin was confused.

Christopher said, "Watch your hand!"

His tone was full of warning.

Before Benjamin could react, Janice understood Christopher’s words and she quickly explained, "Christopher, you’ve misunderstood."

But Christopher couldn’t listen to her explanation. After all, he had seen the scene clearly on the camera.

"You said that you helped her yesterday. Tell me how you helped her, please."

He stared at Benjamin and asked.

Benjamin was still wondering about the relationship between the two. When he heard his question, he looked at Janice in confusion.

"Janice, he is..."

But Janice was in no mood to answer Benjamin. She just wanted to take Christopher away immediately. After all, he seemed to be angry.

Janice said, "Well, Mr. Taylor, that’s all for today. I had better leave."

As she spoke, she pulled a reluctant Christopher towards the door.

Before leaving, he glared coldly at Benjamin.

When Benjamin was about to stop them, Rob stopped him.

"Sir, please wait."

Janice pulled Christopher out of the restaurant.

Christopher was unwilling to leave and asked, "Why did you pull me out? Why didn’t you ask him how he helped you?"

Janice let go of his hand.

"Christopher, what’s wrong with you? How could you say something like that?"

Upon hearing Janice’s words, Christopher frowned. "Why can’t I say? Didn’t you feel that he was taking advantage of you just now?"
