Chapter 1645

The assistant had barely picked up the phone when a strange expression crossed his face. "Mr. Lucas, this call seems to be for you."

The receptionist had called to say that someone was specifically asking to see Ben Lucas.

Ben frowned.

This wasn't the kind of person he would waste his time meeting. If he entertained every random person who claimed they wanted to see him, his days would be endless.

Ben's sharp eyes narrowed as a glimmer of light flickered across them. "Let her up."
