I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Buried Problems

Benjamin frowned slightly. "I'm the boss and so are you. Can't we leave work early?"

"Mr. Martin, my company is small. I can't be as capricious as you."

"I'm off already. Come down in ten minutes, okay?"

Benjamin didn't give her any chance to hesitate.

Harper just whispered, "Okay." She then asked, "Are you afraid I'm going to worry because of the things happening with the Mitchell family?" "Why don't we meet up first?"

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Harper gripped it tightly before sighing silently. She then turned back towards her desk to pack up her computer and headed out the door with her bag.

She had just come out of her office when she ran into Frank, who was on his way to her. Frank asked, "Are you going out?"

"Yeah, something's up."

"Is it about the Mitchell family?"

Harper nodded. The incident had been ravaged by the media and was well known.

Frank's expression was slightly grave. He said, "What are you going to do about this? Do you want to talk to Benjamin about resuming the partnership? That way, the Mitchell Group can solve its dilemma."

Harper frowned slightly. "Frank, do you also think this can be resolved simply by resuming cooperation with the Martin Group?"Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

"Of course. Isn't that the truth?"

Harper smiled and shook her head. "It's not that simple. If it's true that just cooperating with the Martin Group can solve all the debt problems as well as troubles now, the Martin Group is too important to the Mitchell Group, isn't it? I think a corporation is independent and can't become fragmented just because it loses any of its partners. This is the most critical point for a corporation to avoid."

Perhaps everyone thought that the

Mitchell Group had problems

because it was not supported by the Martin Group's programs and collaborations. However, Harper knew very well that the loss of the Martin Group had only brought out the problems that already existed in the Mitchell Group.

Her voice subconsciously increased as she spoke, and she couldn't help but get a little agitated.

She finished before dropping her eyes and saying faintly, "I'm sorry, Frank. I'm taking this too seriously."

Frank said hastily, "No, you seem to be quite right. My thinking was too simple. I thought it would be more appropriate.to deal with these issues you mentioned after the Martin

Group agreed to continue the

cooperation and the Mitchelnes

Group's immediate difficulties were resolved. Maybe my thinking was simpler. I don't want to see too many troubles and problems arise, so..."

"I understand. Everyone thinks differently, and that's normal.

However, the Mitchell Group's problems can't be solved by a collaboration or a project. After all,

all of its problems now are the result of years of old buried problems."

Harper didn't continue with anything else because the cell phone in her bag rang at that moment.

She took it out and looked at it, then casually pressed the hang-up button.

Harper said to Frank, "I'll leave first."

"Okay. Be careful. If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know. Harper, we're friends. Don't be polite to me, okay?"

"Sure!" Harper smiled, then left the office as Frank watched.

Where she couldn't see it, though, Frank's expression gradually changed until there was only a noticeable layer of darkness left. Harper rode down in the elevator, and Benjamin's car waited at the curb.

She walked over, and Curtis immediately got down and opened the back seat for her to sit in.

In the car, Benjamin whispered, "What took you so long?"

"I had a little chat and got held up."

Harper didn't say much, just a helpless sigh.

She asked Benjamin, "What do you think caused what happened with the Mitchell Group?"
