Chapter 156: The First Time Being Asked for Contact Information?
Wow! This was truly an unprecedented event.
Previously, no matter when, because of Benjamin’s strikingly handsome appearance, he would always be the first to catch
people’s attention. But now, his face seemed to have lost its effect??
Instead, it was Simon who immediately caught someone’s eye!
Martina couldn’t help but look at the two of them more closely and noticed that Simon’s complexion seemed a bit unnatural. If
she guessed correctly, he must be experiencing this situation for the first time!
Despite Simon not being very old, he was somewhat conservative in certain aspects.
Especially when he was following Benjamin, he became even more conservative. No wonder his ears turned red the moment a
girl said “hey boy” to him. That was just innocent and pure!
Even Martina was stunned. Who could have imagined that Simon, who usually acted swiftly and decisively, so much like
Benjamin, could have such a different side?!
Simon couldn’t even dare to look at the young girl in the eyes, the contrast with his usual professional demeanor was just too
vast!
“Miss, you don’t have to say that. I was just following orders,” Simon meant that he was simply carrying out his boss’s
instructions and acting on behalf of Miss Martinez.
However, the young girl didn’t understand! In her eyes, Simon had saved her, making him her savior. If it weren’t for him, she
would definitely have faced grave consequences, and not only that, she might even have lost her life! But because of him, she
was given a chance to start anew.
Who said all men were trash? There were good men too, she just met the wrong one before!
The girl gathered all her courage and reached out her hand, placing it in front of Simon,
“Hello, my name is Grace. I’m very glad to meet you. Could you tell me your name?”

Grace’s gaze was sincere, and after wiping away her tears, her eyes still had a hint of redness, like a little rabbit that had been
bullied.
Although she wasn’t gorgeous, she was a very adorable girl. The kind of cuteness that would catch people’s attention even in a
crowd. Her innocent appearance, accentuated by her big almond–shaped eyes, contrasted with Simon’s shrewd personality.
Perhaps, their combination could be an interesting match?
In almost an instant, Martina made a rough comparison of their appearances, personalities, and intelligence. In the end, she
realized that these two were a perfect match!
It was a good thing she didn’t intervene just now. She practically handed Simon the chance to be the hero who saved the beauty,
didn’t she?
“I... I’m Simon. Hello, Miss Grace,” Simon spoke awkwardly, no longer as relaxed and at ease as he usually was in front of
Benjamin.
Grace pouted in dissatisfaction, “Can’t you just call me by my name directly?”
“Simon, Thank you for saving me. Can we exchange contact information?” Grace’s pleading eyes made Simon feel a flutter of
emotion, as if his heart was stirred by her request.
Simon couldn’t bring himself to refuse and turned to Martina for help, “Miss Martinez...”
In situations like this, others couldn’t be of much help. He could only rely on himself to make a decision. Then he looked at
Benjamin, “Boss...”
Maybe it was due to a shift in Benjamin’s mindset, which led to a change in his feelings toward his subordinates. After all, Simon
had been following Benjamin for quite some time, yet he had never been in a romantic relationship.
Simon was already 27 years old now, although not considered too old, if he delayed any longer, he would be approaching thirty.
It wouldn’t be easy to find a wife then. Should he end up like himself, unable to find anyone and regretting it later?
Benjamin chose to ignore everything and didn’t even spare a glance at Simon. Instead, he focused on Martina, gently brushing
away a strand of hair from her face. The coldness in his starry eyes had faded away, replaced by a tender and affectionate gaze,
revealing the softer side of Benjamin..

When he had a genuine dislike for something, it was undeniable, but once he developed a fondness for something, he became

unstoppable.
Sometimes, even Benjamin himself might not have realized that such a situation could happen. He didn’t even know he could
have such an expression on his face.
Simon was utterly helpless. Grace took advantage of the situation, “Simon, just add me, okay? I promise I won’t bother you!”
“Since you saved me today, at least let me take you out for a meal as a way to show my gratitude. Otherwise, I’ll feel guilty for
the rest of my life,” she continued.
As Grace spoke, she somehow pulled out a band–aid from somewhere and got closer to Simon by two steps.
Startled, Simon took several steps backward. He had never encountered such a situation before.
However, the more Simon retreated, the more Grace followed. Soon, Simon found himself backed against a large tree with
nowhere else to go.
Grace smiled genuinely, then suddenly tore open the band–aid and stuck it on Simon’s forehead. Apparently, Simon had
accidentally injured his forehead at some point. Although it was just a two–millimeter cut, it was bleeding. If left unattended, it
might have healed on its own.
Grace stood on her tiptoes and gently blew on Simon’s wound, saying, “This way, it won’t hurt anymore.” Simon couldn’t bring
himself to say anything.
So Grace did all this just to put a band–aid on herself?
It was the first time in Simon’s life that someone treated him like this, and he felt very uncomfortable!
Grace clasped her hands behind her back, her adorable face beaming with a smile, completely different from the way she looked
when she was almost bullied earlier.
“So, can you add me on SnapChat now?” Grace asked. “I’m really grateful to you!”
Simon opened his mouth but suddenly realized that his repertoire of words was surprisingly limited. He couldn’t even muster a
basic sentence.

Luckily, Grace got what she wanted and added Simon on SnapChat.
Seeing Simon looking so stunned, Grace couldn’t help but laugh. “Simon, you seem quite nervous. Is this your first time being
asked for contact information by a girl?”
Simon couldn’t say anything, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t true.
Seeing through Simon’s thoughts, Grace’s heart blossomed with joy. All the things about her recent heartbreak and the almost–
bullying incident were completely forgotten. Instead, she was filled with the image of Simon heroically coming to her rescue, a
scene that lingered in her mind for a long time...
