I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Probe

She thought, "Well, he may not be worried about it, but he sure is not taking it seriously."

Lily didn't reply to Benjamin because Harper had just finished her work and was packing her bag. She looked at Lily and asked, "Lily, have you decided what to eat later?"

Lily nodded. "Let's go have steak. We girls need some romance, too."

The phrase "we girls" amused Harper, thinking, "Lily is really with it."

She agreed, "Okay, whatever you say."

Harper left the office holding Lily's hand and told Sophia, "I might not come back this afternoon. If there's anything, look for Mr. Parker."

Sophia nodded in agreement.

As Harper passed by Frank's office, she said to Lily, "Lily, wait for me a moment."

"Sure," Lily replied.

Harper walked to Frank's office and knocked on his door. "Frank, I'm leaving the office. If there's anything, just call me."

"Okay, go ahead, drive safe," Frank smiled. His voice was gentle.

Harper smiled back and then left the company with Lily.

As they rode the elevator downstairs, Lily casually probed. "Harper, is this Frank, your partner?"

Harper nodded without much thought. "I've known him for many years. We're also good friends."

"Oh, I see," Lily murmured.

She wondered, "Benjamin is taking this too lightly. How is he going to compete like this?"

She asked again, "Does he have a girlfriend?"

Harper was stunned, subconsciously looking at Lily. "I don't think so."

"Still single?" she echoed, her gentle expression slightly stiff.

Harper asked, "Lily, is there something you want to say?"

The waiter seemed a bit surprised. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

The waiter nodded and then took the menu away.

Usually, the steak was best served medium-rare or medium. Well-done was quite rare.

Harper took the initiative to explain to Lily, "Lily, my stomach hasn't been feeling great lately, so I need to stick to well-cooked food."

"It's okay, as long as you like it. What suits you best is the most important," Lily said. She didn't mind at all.

As Lily finished speaking, her phone rang.

She picked up her phone, glanced at the name on the screen, and smiled, "Hello? What's the matter?"

Her tone was gentle, with a hint of knowingness.

Not knowing what the other person said, Harper only heard Lily say, "I'm having lunch. What do you want?"
