CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1634

A female employee with dark circles under her eyes spoke up quietly, "Jamie, have you ever been scolded by Mr. Lucas?" Jamie instinctively replied, "No..."

The moment the word left her lips, she regretted it.

As expected, everyone's eyes lit up with curiosity, and they swarmed around her, pestering her for tips on avoiding Ben's wrath. Jamie, clutching her laptop, bolted out of the office like her life depended on it.

"Too dangerous," she thought to herself.

The office was no longer a safe haven for her.

Still holding unfinished reports, Jamie decided to retreat to a quiet lounge to complete her work. But as she entered, she froze.

Ben was already there, sitting with his laptop, his piercing gaze lifting to meet hers.

Jamie instinctively stepped back, "Oh, sorry, wrong room."

"Jamie," Ben called out, his tone firm, "have you been avoiding me?"
