Ben had prepared an evening gown for Jamie.
It was a strapless champagne-colored dress that fit her perfectly. However, having not worn such formal attire in a long time, Jamie felt a bit awkward, checking herself repeatedly in the mirror.
“You look stunning, Miss Lewis. It fits perfectly,” the helper said with a smile.
Jamie returned the smile but didn’t say much.
“She’s right. It suits you perfectly.” Ben’s voice suddenly cut through the room.
Jamie turned to find him already dressed in a sleek suit, complementing her gown perfectly.
Her discomfort grew, and the helper, sensing the tension, quietly excused herself.
Ben stepped forward and revealed a necklace. “A gown like this needs the right jewelry. I picked out a necklace just for you. Try it on.”
Jamie instinctively tried to refuse. “That’s not necessary…”
But Ben’s calm demeanor left no room for negotiation. Before she could resist further, he clasped the necklace around her neck.
The moment it settled, his sharp eyes lit with a hint of admiration, and a faint smile curled his lips. “As I thought, it’s perfect for you.”
Jamie felt like she might get lost in his gaze.
Her eyelashes fluttered as she lowered her head, avoiding his eyes. Yet, no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t stop herself from recalling the gentle smile on his face.
“It’s time to go.” Ben took her hand and led her to the car.
The drive to the venue was smooth, with traffic cleared in advance, making the journey effortless.
When they arrived, the reactions of those outside the venue were mixed.
Many were shocked to see Ben with a female companion.
As they entered, one acquaintance approached to greet him, taking the opportunity to tease, “This young lady is stunning. Mr. Lucas, why haven’t you brought her out before?”
“Because I’m still courting her,” Ben replied, his tone calm and matter-of-fact.
The crowd fell silent, caught off guard by the candid remark.
Even Jamie was stunned. She turned her head sharply to stare at Ben, unable to hide her astonishment. Ben was beside her, dressed impeccably in his tailored suit, showed no sign of hesitation or embarrassment.
