Chapter 150: I Lied to You
Unfortunately, Martina's mind had been muddled by Benjamin's tricks, and she couldn't quite think clearly. Therefore, she couldn't figure out what was going on.
Simon couldn't help but chuckle from behind, suddenly realizing how adorable Martina was.He couldn't quite figure out why he felt that way.
He had deliberately booked two rooms. The rooms in this area were in high demand and hard to get without prior reservations. Even these two rooms were secured by his fast fingers, and there was absolutely no chance for a third room.
Clearly, Martina needed to stay in the same room as Benjamin. After all, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to share a room with Simon.
Apologetically, Simon said, "Miss Martinez, it wasn't intentional. It's just that these rooms are incredibly hard to book."
How could such coincidences keep happening? When coincidences happened every time, they weren't coincidences at all!
Martina, unwilling to believe it, opened her hotel booking app to check the availability of nearby hotels. But when she checked, she realized that Simon had indeed been telling the truth.
The rooms here had long been fully booked, and there was no chance of getting an additional one at the last minute.
Helpless, Martina had no choice but to accept the situation, but it did change her attitude towards Simon.
"After I praised you, you messed up again. I guess I shouldn't compliment you in the future." Martina teased.
Simon replied with a helpless expression, wondering what he did wrong. However, a while later, he received another text message on his phone, notifying him that 50,000 dollars had been credited to his bank account.
At that moment, all those random thoughts and hesitations disappeared completely. After all, wasn't making money what life was all about? With such a fantastic opportunity to earn, he had no reason to refuse it at all.
As long as it made the boss happy, nothing else mattered.
Once again, Martina and Benjamin were in the same room, but this time, it was a themed room with a suggestive atmosphere. The layout, lighting, and everything else gave off an eerie vibe, making Martina feel quite uncomfortable.
It wasn't genuinely eerie, but rather her strong unease that made everything seem uncomfortable.
Even the bathroom for taking a shower was semi-transparent, though not entirely see-through. Through the frosted glass, one could vaguely make out the contours of the person inside.
Martina and Benjamin were both going to shower later, but faced with this situation, how could they possibly do it? They couldn't just bare it all in front of each other, that would be even harder than killing someone!
The idea of taking a shower in that room disgusted Martina, and she shivered in disgust. Why on earth did Simon have to book this kind of room? Was he not doing it on purpose?
Benjamin nonchalantly took off his coat and noticed Martina's change in mood.
He came over to Martina's side and gently rubbed her head, "What are you thinking? Why do you look like you want to kill someone?"
Although Benjamin didn't bring it up, Martina instantly became temperamental. She held back her anger, considering Benjamin's condition and injury.
"You tell me why. What kind of room did Simon book? And why on earth is there this pink mosquito net by the bed? It looks so tacky and ugly! Are the people here out of their minds?" she complained.
Although Benjamin also didn't like this style, Simon had informed him beforehand that this room was unique in its own way. He took a seat on the bed and patted the space next to him, saying, "Unfortunately, there are no other available rooms at the moment, so we'll have to make do with this one for now."
Though Martina was unhappy, she knew it was the truth. She couldn't possibly spend the night on the streets. So, reluctantly, she sat down beside him, feeling a bit annoyed.
In her annoyance, Martina's hand absentmindedly patted the bed twice. However, the awkward situation happened next.
The bed they were on was originally a large round bed without any legs. When Martina carelessly patted around, she might have accidentally pressed some button, causing the bed to start moving up and down at a high frequency.
To make matters worse, the bed sank downwards suddenly! Martina and Benjamin were both caught off guard and were thrown onto the bed together.
In this moment, they found themselves in a very awkward position, with Martina on top of Benjamin.
Martina's hands accidentally pressed against Benjamin's chest, and she could feel his strong heartbeat.
Feeling his muscular chest, Martina felt flustered and tried to get up. However, at that moment, she heard Benjamin let out a muffled groan.
Startled, Martina quickly looked at Benjamin with concern, "Are you okay? Did you hurt your wound? Get up quickly! What kind of bed is this? Why is it moving like this?"
Despite venting her frustrations, Martina struggled to pull Benjamin up. However, the more she tried to pull him, the deeper they sank. Martina's concern for him led her to once again fall onto Benjamin's body, and this time, their lips accidentally brushed against each other's.
The level of awkwardness was through the roof! Martina couldn't believe that such a thing could happen tonight. It made her wonder if life was playing some kind of cruel joke on her.
From a vantage point unnoticed by Martina, a hint of amusement flashed in Benjamin's eyes. There was no sign of pain on his face, despite his earlier groan.
Still, he pretended to wince, "It hurts..."
With just one word, Martina felt her heart sink, and she became anxious, almost on the verge of tears.
In that moment, she completely forgot about the awkward incident that had just occurred. What did a simple kiss matter now when Benjamin's wound seemed to be getting worse?
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but..." Martina apologized. "how the heck do we turn off this thing?!" This was definitely the first time Martina encountered such a large bed, and it would undoubtedly be the last time in her life!
As Martina grew more anxious, she couldn't break free from the bed's continuous rocking.
Benjamin couldn't bear to keep deceiving her either. Suddenly, he flipped over and pressed Martina down beneath him. From this angle, Benjamin could clearly see every inch of Martina's skin. Both of their hearts were pounding, and Martina was completely taken aback.
"You... Benjamin, you..." Martina exclaimed.
"I'm fine. I was just teasing you earlier," Benjamin chuckled. Being with Martina, he noticed that he laughed much more frequently than before.
"Are you sure?" Martina asked.
Benjamin still hadn't realized why Martina was asking this.
"Yeah, besides a bit of initial discomfort, I'm okay now," he replied with a playful grin. "Then what about you? Did you rush over here because you care about me or because you wanted to take advantage of the situation?"
