I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 153 Suspend the Cooperation

A project that was progressing smoothly suddenly came to a halt, and there must be a reason behind it.

Frank was anxious. "Mr. Kerr just called me. He didn't mention any specific reasons, just said it was the decision from above."

"From above? Whose decision from above?" she thought.

Harper slightly pressed her lips, her eyes showing a hint of coldness. "I see."

"Harper, is Benjamin doing this to make you reconsider the divorce?" Frank couldn't hold back and eventually asked.

Harper didn't answer but said, "They probably already know over at Summit Realty. Let's see what they have to say first." Frank didn't press further for answers. He murmured, "Harper, don't worry. I'll go find out what's really going on."

"Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Harper tossed it aside and finally got up from bed.

She pulled open the curtains expressionlessly, looking at the bright sunny day outside, yet her heart was shrouded in gloom.

She stood quietly for a long time before finally calming her restless mind.

Half an hour later, Harper left the apartment, but instead of going to the office, she drove straight to the Martin Group.

When she arrived an hour later, she took the elevator to the top-floor CEO's office.

Curtis was the first to notice and hurriedly greeted her. "Mrs. Martin."

"Mr. Yost, is Benjamin available now? I have something to discuss with him." Harper maintained her polite demeanor, but the coldness in her eyes was unmistakable. Curtis naturally understood her purpose for coming, so he responded cautiously, "Mr. Martin is in his office, but he is currently with a client. Would you like to..." "It's fine, I can wait for him." With that, Harper already started walking towards the nearby lounge area.

Harper sat quietly on the sofa in the lounge area. Even though she had insisted that she didn't need any attention, Curtis still poured her a glass of water.

Harper waited silently. Time passed minute by minute, and not even a fly ventured out of that office.

She tightly pressed her lips. Although she didn't look well, she kept her emotions in check as best as she could, holding onto the last shreds of rationality within her. After what seemed like an eternity, Curtis' intercom buzzed.

Benjamin instructed him indifferently, "Get me a cup of coffee."

"Alright." Curtis glanced instinctively at Harper. Since the intercom was on speaker, she would certainly hear it, too, but she showed no signs of reaction.

Curtis quickly poured a cup of coffee and took it into the office for Benjamin. He left the door ajar. Benjamin's cold gaze swept over him, and he said, "Is she still outside?"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Yeah." Curtis nodded.

Benjamin's expression grew even colder, and he smirked faintly. "Ignore her."

In fact, Benjamin had received the news the moment Harper stepped into the Martin Group. He had anticipated that she would come looking for him, but he had no intention of meeting her. The office door was pushed open before Curtis could respond to Benjamin's words.

Harper narrowed her eyes, staring coldly at Benjamin, who was behind the desk.

There were no actual clients in the office, only him and Curtis. The supposed client was just an excuse. He simply didn't want to see her.

Harper's face was tense. After taking a deep breath, she asked, "Benjamin, what do you mean by this?"

Curtis quickly lowered his head and quietly left the office.

Benjamin glanced at her, smiled, and said indifferently, "Am I supposed to know what that means?"

"Did you suspend the cooperation?"

"Yes, I did."

He showed no intention of concealing or denying it. Dropping his pen, he leaned back in his chair, lighting a cigarette nonchalantly. Harper narrowed her eyes. She was slightly stunned.
