After his shower, Ben stepped out wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist. As he searched the house, it didn't take long for him to guess where Jamie might be. Sure enough, the soft glow of light beneath the study door confirmed it. Pushing the door open, Ben strolled in confidently, his toned body glistening with droplets of water trailing from his hair down to his chest and well-defined abs. He looked like a proud peacock showing off its plumage.

Jamie, however, didn't even glance up. "You should go to bed. I'm still reviewing cases," she said, her eyes glued to the stack of papers in front of her.

"You've already gone through these cases several times," Ben said, standing right in front of her.

"It's still not enough!" Jamie sighed, flipping another page. "What I lack compared to others is practical experience. That's not something you can make up overnight."

Ben leaned closer, his gaze steady. "There're still a few days before the next round. Take a break! You're overworking yourself."

"How could she find legal documents more interesting than me?" he thought to himself.
