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.

Noah's smirk dimmed slightly as he leaned back. "I can't compare to you. Dad poured his heart into trying to pull you into the company, but you stuck to your guns and insisted on being a lawyer. That kind of stubbornness? I could never match it." His words feigned admiration, but the provocation in his tone was unmistakable.

Ben's sharp gaze cut through him like ice. "What I choose to do is none of your concern."

With that, he turned on his heel and walked off. Jamie quickly followed.

Noah's voice, lazy yet pointed, trailed after them. "Miss Lewis, I look forward to seeing you again."
