I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) -
Chapter 468 Disturbances Arose
Although her answer was low-key, Benjamin could still feel the confidence in her words. He smiled and asked softly, "How sure are you?"
"I don't know. If everything goes smoothly, I think I can enter the finals."
There were ten places in the finals, and Harper felt that she should have the confidence.
Benjamin asked again, "Don't you want to bribe me?"
He started again.
Harper snorted and said, "I'm pregnant. Do you bear to let me do so?"
"I mean, be nice to me. Or what?" he chuckled.
Harper narrowed her eyes slightly, looking speechless.
Did he really think Harper didn't know what he was thinking?
She snorted.
She stopped talking, and Benjamin said, "Shall we have dinner tonight?"
"Outside?"
"Well, Larry invited us to have a meal together."
"Why did he invite us to dinner?" Harper was a little surprised. Strictly speaking, why was she invited?
Benjamin said, "Probably trying to please you."
These words contained a lot of information, and Harper understood it at once.
She thought about it carefully. "No. I don't want to offend Annie because of him."
Benjamin chuckled and asked, "If he really plans to pursue Annie again, will you support him?"
"No, neither support nor deny. It's up to Annie", Harper said and then instructed Benjamin, "but don't use my name to plot against Annie, otherwise I won't forgive you."
"Yes, madam!" He echoed the assurance.
These two words made Harper want to laugh.
As for the meal, of course, it was canceled.
Several consecutive events were directly related to Frank, Harper began to pay attention to him from that day on, especially his every move. However, in order to prevent Frank from arousing suspicion, she had an idea.
When Harper arrived at the company early the next morning, she went directly to Frank's office.
She asked Frank, "Are you available? I want to talk to you."
Of course Frank had time. Looking at her solemn expression, he was worried and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The collapse incident has not yet been resolved, and the competition is about to start. I worried that if it cannot be resolved before then, the netizens and the media may take the opportunity to let this matter ferment again. This will put the Martin Group in trouble, and our company will also be affected."
Harper sat in the chair, her face full of worry and helplessness.
Frank also frowned and said, "This is also why I insist on replacing you as an architect. If anything unexpected happens, your participation in the competition will at least go smoothly, so what are you thinking now?"
Harper felt depressed, with no change on her face.
She said, "Frank, I know what you mean. This may allow me to continue to the competition smoothly, but the speed of doxing is faster than we imagined. Once it is exposed, you will be implicated as well. I don't want this to happen."
Although she was testing Frank, these words were indeed her true thoughts. However, Frank insisted on taking over the title of architect to solve her predicament, which made Harper misgiving.
Frank was also calm. He said, "I see what you mean. Any good ideas now?"
Harper shook her head and said, "I just hope the collapse incident can be resolved before the competition starts."
"Did the Martin Group have the confidence?"
"Probably", she responded without emotion, and looked at Frank subconsciously. The two looked into each other's eyes, and neither of them avoided it. She was silent for a moment and spoke hesitantly, "In fact, he mentioned to me last night that he had found videos related to the collapse incident." "Videos? Is it about the construction site?" Frank looked at Harper with his deep eyes and asked.
