CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Ben had prepared an evening gown for Jamie.

It was a strapless champagne-colored dress that fit her perfectly. However, having not worn such formal attire in a long time, Jamie felt a bit awkward, checking herself repeatedly in the mirror. "You look stunning, Miss Lewis. It fits perfectly," the helper said with a smile.

Jamie returned the smile but didn't say much.

"She's right. It suits you perfectly." Ben's voice suddenly cut through the room.

Jamie turned to find him already dressed in a sleek suit, complementing her gown perfectly.

Her discomfort grew, and the helper, sensing the tension, quietly excused herself.

Ben stepped forward and revealed a necklace. "A gown like this needs the right jewelry. I picked out a necklace just for you. Try it on."

Jamie instinctively tried to refuse. "That's not necessary..."

But Ben's calm demeanor left no room for negotiation. Before she could resist further, he clasped the necklace around her neck.

The moment it settled, his sharp eyes lit with a hint of admiration, and a faint smile curled his lips. "As I thought, it's perfect for you."

Jamie felt like she might get lost in his gaze.
