Flash Marriage: My Penniless Billionaire Husband

Benjamin was embarrassed as Christopher ignored him.

Seeing this, Janice quickly said, "He doesn’t like to talk much. By the way, where are you going later?"

Benjamin replied, "Please let me down at the intersection ahead."

Christopher kept quiet and stopped the car at the intersection.

Benjamin opened the car door and got out of the car. But before he left, he glanced at Janice intently.

After Benjamin got out of the car, Christopher drove the car away without delay.

Benjamin stared at the leaving car and frowned. Although he didn’t know the relationship between Christopher and Janice, he could feel that Christopher was very hostile to him.

Ever since Benjamin left their company, Christopher remained silent with a cold face.

Janice felt that it was too quiet in the car. Previously, she felt uncomfortable because Benjamin was in the car. But now that Benjamin was gone, it would be awkward if she continued to keep quiet.

So she opened her mouth and say, " Christopher, what do you want to eat for lunch? Let’s go out for lunch, okay?"

Janice wanted to make use of this topic to liven up the atmosphere, but she didn’t expect Christopher to ignore her.

Feeling a little embarrassed, she pursed her lips and said, "Why don’t you tell me what you want to eat? Then I can make a phone call to book the restaurant."

Christopher was still silent even after she finished asking. She was unsure.

"Is he angry because I ignored him?" She thought.

Janice reached out and poked his arm.

Christopher turned his head and glanced at her. But his gaze was unusually cold.

"I don’t want to eat anything."

After she heard what he said, Janice pursed his lips and asked, "Are you angry with me?"

Christopher snorted and thought. "You only realize it now?"

She was exchanging gazes with Benjamin just now. Did she think that he hadn’t spotted them?

Did she realize it now?

"No."

Even if he was angry, he wouldn’t admit it. Christopher turned to look out of the window.

Janice stared at Christopher and did not know what to do.

Even though Christopher denied that he was upset, Janice still felt otherwise.

But she didn’t know why he was being like this.

Was it because of what he had said before, or was it because he thought that the matter today was troublesome?

Janice thought for a moment and added, "Christopher, I was too rash today. I’m sorry. I won’t be so reckless in the future."

Christopher couldn’t help but frown.

That wasn’t the reason why he was unhappy.

"Forget it. Anyway, she wouldn’t understand." He thought. He changed the topic once he thought of this. "Let’s go eat."

After that, they had lunch in a nearby restaurant.

After the meal, Janice went back to the TV station, while Christopher drove back to his own company.

As soon as he arrived at the office, he received a call from James.

Christopher picked it up.

"Chris, didn’t you say that you won’t meddle in this matter? Why did you still get involved?"

From the tone of his voice, James was rather unhappy.

Christopher could tell from James’s voice. He explained, "Let’s just say that I had to do it."

James was full of dissatisfaction, but when he heard Christopher, he could only relent and let it go. After all, Christopher was his best friend.

He relented. "All right, all right. Let’s go for dinner soon. Your treat."

Christopher nodded. After hanging up the phone, he leaned back on the leather chair. He narrowed his eyes once he thought of the conversation between Benjamin and Janice in the car. Then he reached out to call someone in his company.

"Come in."

...

Rob pushed the door open and walked into Christopher’s office.

"Mr. Bateman."

Christopher gazed at Rob. "Find out about Benjamin Taylor. I want to know everything about him."

Rob nodded. "Okay."

He turned around and left the office.

Christopher tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table.

As soon as Janice returned to the TV station, Lucy came over to her workstation. "Janice, what happened? Director Taylor..." Janice glanced at Lucy’s nervous expression.

In fact, she could see that Lucy probably had a crush on Benjamin. Otherwise, other people would have chosen to stand by and do nothing, but she was so anxious for him.

But Janice knew that Benjamin might not be interested in her.

But even if she knew, she wasn’t in the position to say anything. After all, it was none of her business.

She replied, "Everything is alright now. He went home."

"Really? That’s great." Lucy was thrilled. "Then, when will he return to the station?"

Janice shook her head and said, "I don’t know. Maybe he needs a break."

After all, he went through a harrowing experience today.

Surprisingly, as soon as she finished her words, Amy rushed in and announced. "Director Taylor is back."

Everyone looked at her after her announcement.

"Wasn’t he taken away by gang members? How did he manage to return so soon?" Someone in the station asked in confusion. "Maybe his father saved him."

"That’s possible. He’s the guy’s son after all."

They chattered quickly one after another.

Only Janice knew that it had nothing to do with what they were discussing.

"By the way, Janice, did Director Taylor’s father rescue him?"

Lucy also asked in surprise.

Janice replied, "Maybe."

She didn’t want to take the credit. After all, she didn’t do anything.

After a moment of silence, she remembered something.

She thought in her mind, "What did Christopher do in the villa? Why did those men free Benjamin and allow Christopher to save him?"

"Did James change his mind at the last minute?"

But judging from James’s attitude, it was quite impossible.

While she was wondering, her phone rang. It was from Benjamin.

She paused and got up to answer the phone.

"Janice."

Benjamin’s voice could be heard from the other end of the line.

Janice asked, "What’s the matter?"

Benjamin held his phone and replied after a moment of silence, "I still want to thank you for your help today."

It was not the first time Benjamin had expressed his gratitude. Janice felt that it was unnecessary.

She continued, "Director Taylor, I’ll hang up if you have nothing else to say." Just as she was about to hang up, Benjamin suddenly asked. "Janice, what’s your relationship with Mr. Bateman?"

After listening to Benjamin, for some reason, Janice didn’t feel like revealing her relationship with Christopher to him.

She answered, "I’m hanging up now."

Janice was still thinking about this issue by the time she got home that night. Why didn’t she tell Benjamin about her relationship with Christopher? She couldn’t figure it out either.

She was lost in her thoughts when Nino walked towards her, wagging its tail.

Instantly, Janice felt much better when she saw Nino’s chubby face. Then she reached out to pick Nino up from the ground and placed the dog on her lap.

"Are you hungry? I’ll feed you something, okay?"

Janice said as she put Nino down. Then, she walked over and took the dog food. As she was about to fill the basin with dog food, her phone rang. She put the packet down when she saw that the caller was Yvonne.

"Janice, can you help me with my blind date tonight?"

...

Janice took a look at the time. It was still early, and Christopher had not returned yet. She paused and replied, "Okay, send me the address."

Not long after, Yvonne sent the address over. By the time Janice arrived, the other party had yet to join them. Yvonne was the only one sitting there.

Janice sat down beside her and asked, "Yvonne, is it alright for me to keep you company?"

After all, it was a blind date. Would the other party feel uncomfortable with her presence?

Yvonne thought otherwise and said, " What’s wrong with it? After all, I’m forced to be here. Once he’s arrived, we’ll leave in a while."

"Really? Are you sure that it’s ok? It’s a little disrespectful."

"I respect him by gracing him with my presence today. To be honest, if you weren’t here to join me, I wouldn’t have been here."

Janice had no choice but to say, "All right. But be respectful to him. Don’t ignore him."

"I know, you are experienced in dating," Yvonne grumbled.

Janice was speechless. How could she be experienced enough in dating? She went on a blind date once.

The two of them waited in their seats for a while, but the other party was yet to arrive. Yvonne looked at the time on her phone.

"Ha! It’s been more than five minutes and he’s not here yet. Let’s go." Yvonne got up and was about to leave.

Seeing that Yvonne was about to leave, Janice recalled her blind date with Christopher. It was because Christopher waited for her that’s why they managed to meet each other.

If Christopher had left at that time, wouldn’t she have been unable to meet him?

Janice stopped Yvonne when she thought of this. "Why don’t we wait? What if there’s a traffic jam on the way?"

Yvonne disagreed. "Wait? Don’t wait anymore. I won’t like him anyway."

Since she failed to persuade Yvonne, Janice had no choice but to say, "Then you should at least wait for me to go to the washroom."

Yvonne frowned. "Then be quick about it."

"Got it."

Janice answered her as she pulled Yvonne back to her seat before walking towards

the washroom.

However, as soon as she left, a man sat in front of Yvonne.

Janice walked into the washroom and took out her phone. As she stared at her phone, she decided to stay here for five minutes before going back to her seat.

She knew Yvonne. Although she hated blind dates, she did enjoy meeting guys.

In Janice’s opinion, it was not necessarily bad to meet someone on a blind date.

That’s how she met Christopher, after all.

Besides, fate was a wonderful thing. What if Yvonne met her true love now? However, before five minutes were up, she received a call from Yvonne.

Janice saw Yvonne’s call and thought that she must have urged her because her blind date was not here.

Thinking of this, Janice couldn’t help but sigh. "Forget it. If that’s the case, I won’t force her."

When she came out of the washroom, she saw several people surrounding Yvonne from a distance.

People were chattering loudly.

Seeing that something was wrong, Janice quickly ran over.

Yvonne was very agitated.

"Yvonne, what’s wrong?"

Yvonne saw her and said angrily, "Let’s go, Janice. We’ve met a rogue."

"Who are you calling a rogue? You better explain."

Before they could leave, a tall figure suddenly rushed over and blocked their way, as if he were going to start a fight.

When Janice saw the man’s face, she was stunned.

"You?"
