My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 533: I Am Out In the Ocean

Florence frowned, extremely unhappy, “Taking them again won’t make a difference.”

“If it doesn’t come out good, Clarence would be useless.”

With a flick of his wrist, Benjamin took out the dagger, “Then Clarence is really useless…”

“Okay, I will take them again!”

Florence gritted her teeth and reached her hand out to take the phone back. However, Benjamin avoided her hand.

Florence frowned, “What do you mean by this?”

Benjamin handed the phone to a maid next to him and ordered, “You take the pictures for them.”

Florence didn’t have any complaints. It was really tormenting for her to take a selfie with a smile.

The maid took the phone from him and immediately assumed the posture of a professional photographer.

She said to Clarence and Florence, “You both stand a little closer. Ms. Fraser, put your head on Mr. Jenkin’s shoulder. Yes, look more intimate. Mr. Jenkin, put your arm around her waist…”

“Expressions… look more natural… Ms. Fraser, don’t look so restrained… smile happily as if you are with your lover…”

The maid chattered endlessly.

Florence head was swimming after a while. Look more natural? Behave as if she was with her lover?

She wasn’t an actor!

Florence was annoyed, “Can’t you edit the picture later? Just photoshop it to let it look more affectionate.”

“No. Stanford will definitely check the authenticity of the pictures.”

The maid said resolutely.

Her sharp gaze stunned Florence momentarily. She looked just like a maid on the surface but she was much more than just a maid.

The people Benjamin brought with him this time were not simple, even the maids.

Clarence pursed his lips and said, “People who don’t love each other, no matter how well you shoot them, they won’t be stuck together like lovers. Let’s just take the pictures from behind so that Stanford can see that we are together.”

The main focus of the picture that showed their back and silhouette was not going to be the facial expressions, so it was a trouble-free solution.

The maid’s expressions changed slightly as if she agreed with him. She turned her head to look at Benjamin.

“Mr. Turner, do you think it is feasible?”

Having watched Clarence and Florence stand there cuddling for a long time but still unable to have a useful picture, Benjamin’s patience was running out.

He gestured, “OK.”

Having gotten his permission, the maid immediately began to direct Florence and Clarence, “You guys stand there facing towards the sea and look at each other sideways.”

Florence and Clarence followed suit.

Only their side profiles and back were photographed and their posture looked a little more intimate and the picture looked a lot more real.

Soon, a set of pictures were taken.

Benjamin looked at the pictures in the phone and finally nodded in satisfaction.

Just looking at the two harmonious “lovers” in the pictures, he felt uneasy in his heart.

Clarence’s face, whether it was used by Ernest or by himself, was really irksome to him.

He waves his hand and ordered, “Tie him up for me and bask him in the sun.”

Just as he said that, the two tall bodyguards immediately began to walk towards Clarence in a menacing way.

Clarence’s face changed drastically, “Benjamin, I took the pictures for you. Why do you want me tied up?”

The weather was hot and the sun was bright above the ocean. Clarence’s skin was very delicate and it was bound to get dry and dark after a long time in the sun.

Benjamin was obviously jealous of his looks.

Benjamin replied very arrogantly, “You are not pleasing to my eyes.”

Clarence, “…” I really want to kill him. He said inwardly.

He raised his fist angrily, wanting to punch Benjamin, but the bodyguards got to him faster. They grabbed him from left and right and forcibly dragged him towards the side pillar.

Florence was stunned. She hadn’t expected for Benjamin to become hostile this quickly.

“Let him go!”

However, before Florence could go for Clarence’s aid, two maids walked up to her and stopped her.

Benjamin’s voice resounded from one side, “Flory, you still have things to do.”

On this side, Clarence cursed loudly but he couldn’t struggle to free himself and was tied to the pillar by the two bodyguards.

Florence couldn’t do anything but look at him, wishing to kick Benjamin right into the ocean a thousand times.

“Flory, here.”

As soon as he walked over, he handed the phone to Florence.

Florence saw that it was a video call from Stanford.

Presumably, Benjamin had just sent the picture to Stanford, but Stanford was cautious and wanted to make a video call to verify personally.

Florence frowned, “Aren’t you afraid that I will ask him for help?”

It was a face-to-face video call.

Benjamin smiled brazenly, “I believe you won’t.”

He stood up, his tall body approaching her ambiguously and said, “After all, you are so kind-hearted, you won’t be able to not care about Clarence’s life of death.”

Florence gritted her teeth and looked at Clarence tied up miserably to the pillar.

She wasn’t kind-hearted but she felt a sense of responsibility towards Clarence.

She took the phone but did not answer it immediately and said to Benjamin, “You have tied him up. What if Stanford wants to talk to him?”

Benjamin shrugged, “You can shoot his video from his shoulders and above.”

Florence, “…”

Clarence was in the middle of cursing at Benjamin loudly, “Benjamin, you fucker, you will die like a dog!”

“Shut his mouth.”

Benjamin ordered coldly.

The bodyguard immediately took out a handkerchief from his chest pocket and rudely stuffed it into Clarence’s mouth.

Clarence made an unwilling noise, his eyes red and full of accusations.

Florence’s temples hurt.

Benjamin had spared no efforts in tormenting Clarence. If the trouble continued, Clarence was only going to be tortured more and suffer.

She gritted her teeth, “I will pick it up.”

Florence took a long breath and leaned against the railing of the yacht before accepting the video call.

Stanford’s handsome face appeared immediately on the screen.

He frowned slightly and said, “Your really went on a trip with Clarence?”

Between the words, there was disagreement but more than that there was care for her.

Florence’s nose was itchy. She wanted to tell Stanford that she didn’t, that she was actually kidnapped.

She clenched her fist tightly, immediately stabilizing her emotions and put on a smile on her face.

“Yeah, Clarence and I… wanted to go on romantic trip.”

“If you wanted to go on a romantic trip, then you should have told me before you left.”

Stanford’s tone was dissatisfied as he said stiffly, “I would have made arrangements for you. Was there any inconvenience on the way?”

He couldn’t help but care about her after all.

Florence felt very moved and shook her head.

“It’s all fine, Stanford. Look I am out in the ocean now.”

Florence turned her head slightly so that Stanford could see the sea behind her.

It was endless, blue and vast and there were seagulls flying in the sky.

The scenery was extremely beautiful.

Stanford looked at the screen and said solemnly, “Where are you right now?”

Benjamin’s face sank suddenly.

He stood up abruptly and walked towards Florence.
