Chapter 1611

Jamie watched as Ben's face darkened the instant he saw the man approaching them. Her suspicions were immediately aroused.

"I'm his personal secretary," Jamie said with a calm smile, deliberately clarifying the relationship. The implication was clear that he shouldn't falsely assume a close relationship.

Noah Lucas raised an eyebrow, a look of mild surprise crossing his face. "Oh? My brother hasn't won you over yet? My apologies! I thought you two were already..."

"This has nothing to do with you," Ben interrupted coldly.

Noah paused, his hands casually shoved into his pockets. The two men locked eyes, exchanging no words, yet the air between them grew thick with tension, brimming with unspoken hostility.
