Lucas Corporation appeared to be running as smoothly as ever, showing no signs of turmoil despite the recent rumors. Jamie arrived at the reception desk and asked to see Ben.

The receptionist raised an eyebrow at the mention of Ben's name and smiled slightly. "He's a top-tier lawyer in Birkham now. If you're looking for him, shouldn't you be at his law firm rather than here at Lucas Corporation?" "He's not here? Did he say when he'd be back?" Jamie was momentarily stunned. She had just spoken to him on the phone. Where could he have gone at such a critical time?

The receptionist shook her head apologetically. "I'm sorry, I'm not privy to Mr. Lucas's schedule. If you'd like, you could try calling him directly."

Jamie sighed, unwilling to trouble the receptionist further. She was about to leave when the receptionist called after her.

"Wait a moment. Are you Miss Lewis?"

Caught off guard, Jamie hesitated. "Yes, I am. Why?"

The receptionist looked a bit uncertain, realizing she hadn't asked for Jamie's identity earlier. "Mr. Lucas left instructions that if Miss Lewis came by, she could wait for him in his office." "So, he'll be back soon?"

Jamie thought it over for a moment, then decided to stay and wait. She wanted to check on Ben and see if there was anything she could do to help.
