CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Ben picked up the project proposal that had been set aside.

Realizing she had misunderstood, Lila felt a flicker of embarrassment but quickly composed herself. Glancing at his actions, she said calmly, "This is the project I want your team to handle. So, can you do it or not?" Jamie couldn't read Ben's thoughts. She only knew she didn't want Lila to get her way. This woman had been looking for trouble from the start, clearly acting with bad intentions. Why give her an opportunity to exploit? But Ben glanced at Jamie, the corners of his lips curving into a gentle smile, almost as if to reassure her. "I think it's doable."

He directed the comment to Jamie, but Lila assumed it was for her. Instantly, her earlier frustration vanished, and she crossed her arms smugly. "Did you hear that, Jamie? Ben is your boss, isn't he? Now that he's given the green light, you don't have anything else to say, do you?"

Her self-satisfied demeanor made it seem as if she had already secured her position as Jamie's client. While technically true, her arrogance was insufferable.

Jamie frowned slightly, her irritation unmistakable.

Just then, Ben spoke again, his tone calm but firm as he looked directly at Lila. "Miss Carson, while I said this project is feasible, that doesn't mean you have the right to act out of line at Lucas Corporation. Show some respect to my secretary. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to have someone escort you out."

Lila's mouth opened, but no words came out. Her expression darkened with embarrassment.
