Fleeing the Gilded Cage: Don’t Want to be the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 102
Chapter 102: Bestie’s Brother
Today, Elena’s brother’s birthday banquet was held at their own villa.
The villa seemed quite expressive. Although it was slightly inferior compared to
Benjamin’s, it was still impressive enough to leave an impact.
Due to Rodríguez family’s status, many people purposely came over to try to gain some attention. Whether they had received an
invitation or not, they were racking their brains to find a reason to come.
It was likely that only people like Benjamin, who had already received an invitation, had no intention of coming at all. If it weren’t
for Martina’s sudden uprising and arrival here, Benjamin would never have changed his mind.
However, Martina was unaware of Benjamin’s proactive decision to come here. At most, she thought that Benjamin hadn’t
responded to the message and was probably busy.
Anyway, Martina had already made it clear in advance, and she believed that Benjamin wouldn’t find any faults in her. After all,
this was the only invitation and request from her best friend, and she truly had no reason to refuse.
As Elena led Martina up the familiar stairs, many guests were still waiting downstairs. They had no idea that the person who had
been widely discussed earlier was actually the daughter of the Rodríguez family.
At this moment, Elena’s brother, Alejandro, was in his bedroom on the second floor. Perhaps he had never expected that
someone would dare to intrude into his room, so he didn’t bother locking the bedroom door.
It seemed that he was currently choosing a suit. Due to changing into a new suit, his shirt didn’t quite match, so he simply
switched to a new one.
At this critical moment, Elena brought Martina here, who caught a glimpse of a half- naked figure. Martina instinctively closed her
eyes and turned away! Her reaction was so swift that it shocked Alejandro.
Elena was also startled. She never expected to walk in at such an awkward moment. She turned away as well and asked,
Anyway, Elena had to admit that her brother had a really good figure. It seemed like he had been hitting the gym quite a bit
lately!
Unfortunately, Martina, as Elena’s best friend, was currently in a relationship. Otherwise, Elena would have gladly introduced
them to each other. Such great opportunities were rare, so they should be cherished, right?
Luckily, Benjamin was unaware of Elena’s thoughts. Otherwise, Elena wouldn’t be standing here so relaxed.
Alejandro stood frozen for a few seconds, overcome with shock. He never expected someone to barge into his room at this
moment.
He hastily completed his dressing and glanced over his shoulder, a sigh escaping his lips, reflecting his acceptance of the
situation.
Sure enough, he saw his unpredictable sister, who, despite being a girl, always did things that left people puzzled. She looked
almost like a boy, as if she had been assigned the wrong gender at birth.
However, at the same time, Alejandro also noticed Martina by Elena’s side, causing a slight stir in his eyes.
To be able to come in together with his sister and have such a good relationship, besides the Miss Martinez who had been
mentioned before, there probably wouldn’t be a
second person.
Alejandro quickly composed himself, trying his best not to bring up the little mishaps from earlier. “Alright, you can turn around
now.”
Upon hearing Alejandro’s voice, Elena finally turned around and saw that her brother was already dressed neatly, which eased
her worries to some extent. “What are you doing? Are you trying to seduce your sister? Let me tell you, that won’t work with me.
I’m your sister, after all.”
It seemed that the sibling relationship between these two was quite good in private, otherwise Elena wouldn’t have spoken to her
brother in such a manner.
At the same time, Martina was shocked that Elena was really brave to say such things. After all, Alejandro was her brother, and
she had such audacity. How could she not feel a sense of embarrassment or impropriety?
At that precise moment, Alejandro’s gaze locked onto Martina, his eyes revealing a subtle mix of intrigue and interest. And this
kind of interest couldn’t have appeared out of the blue; it seemed to have been hidden for a long time.
“Seems like you never take anything seriously,” Alejandro remarked to Elena. “If I’m correct, this must be the Miss Martina
Martinez you’ve been raving about for ages, am I right?”
Upon hearing this, Elena finally restrained her emotions and said, “Of course, she’s my best friend. We’re as close as sisters.”
And indeed, it was true. The two of them dared to join forces and deceive Benjamin. That’s what true friendship was all about,
right? If it weren’t for that, no one would have the courage to deceive Benjamin, let alone take such a risky path. It would be a
sure way to destruction.
Fortunately, the people in the Rodríguez family were unaware of these things. Otherwise, they would never allow Elena to
embark on such .com fast update a self–destructive path from the beginning, completely disregarding her own safety.
To dare to confront someone like Benjamin, it required not only courage but also
Elena’s reckless nature. Otherwise, how could there be such a fool?
Martina heard her name being called and quickly greeted Alejandro, saying, “Hi, Mr. Rodríguez. I’m Martina.”
Alejandro smiled gently, appearing very kind. He had a striking appearance, distinct from that of Benjamin, but it had to be
acknowledged that he was undeniably attractive.
The tenderness in Alejandro’s eyes couldn’t be hidden. Just a single glance from him could make someone fall into it. On the
other hand, Benjamin was domineering and aloof, emanating an air of indifference that seemed to lack empathy. In short, he was
easily capable of hurting others.
However, Benjamin’s charismatic and enchanting charm was more aggressive. If Martina hadn’t been hurt by him before, she
would definitely have been attracted to his looks.
In fact, including the present moment, she had to admit that she still had some uncontrollable feelings towards Benjamin even if
she didn’t want to.
However, she always managed to restrain herself each time, just to avoid embarrassment.
“Hi. I’m Alejandro Rodríguez,” Alejandro introduced himself. “Since you’re my sister’s friend, that makes you my friend too. I’m
only a few years older than you, so don’t call me ‘Mr. Rodríguez‘. Just call me Alejandro.”
Martina hesitated a bit in her heart, but then she had a thought and nodded under the suggestive gaze of Elena. “Okay, I’ll just
call you Alejandro. I hope you don’t mind.”
Elena chuckled from the side. “Okay, okay, now you guys have finally met,” she said, turning to Alejandro. “Haven’t you always
been curious to meet my best friend? Well, here she is, right in front of you. What do you think? I wasn’t lying, right?”.
