CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Although Ben appeared to be fully absorbed in the presentation on the screen, his gaze would occasionally and subtly flicker toward her. It was so faint that no one else noticed.

Ben didn't respond, lost in thought.

The meeting was abruptly interrupted midway when Ben's assistant entered with a grave expression after taking a phone call. "Mr. Lucas, there's an urgent matter that requires your attention."

Ben waved a hand, dismissing the project team with instructions to redo the proposal. He also directed the public relations department to handle the ongoing rumors.
