CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1625

Jamie initially thought everything was settled.

That was, until she overheard someone mention that Noah was also taking over the Gem Harbor project.

She frowned. “I thought this project was already assigned to Mr. Lucas? How can one project have two leads?”

The assistant glanced nervously toward the door, then leaned in conspiratorially. “It’s the old chairman’s decision.”

Jamie’s frown deepened, her thoughts flashing back to Ben’s calm demeanor over the past few days.

She hadn’t noticed anything unusual. Was he truly indifferent, or was he hiding his emotions so well that even she couldn’t tell?

She couldn’t make sense of Ben’s father’s intentions anymore.

Her unease lingered, and she decided she couldn’t sit idly by. She went straight to Ben’s office.

The moment she stepped in, Ben’s sharp eyes lifted briefly to meet hers before dropping back down to his work. “You came at the right time. I needed to tell you something. We’re flying to Bay City tomorrow for a two-day business trip. Make sure Charlie is taken care of while we’re gone.”

“Tomorrow? That’s short notice,” Jamie remarked.

“The Gem Harbor project’s partner company is based in Bay City,” Ben replied matter-of-factly.

Jamie knew him well enough to understand that when he said something, it was already decided.

She wasn’t particularly surprised that he wanted to bring her along. If he hadn’t, she would have objected. After all, as his secretary, especially for such a critical project, she should be there.

As for Charlie, that was easy to arrange.

After a moment of thought, she nodded. “I’ll let Mrs. Lucas know and ask her to watch over Charlie for a couple of days.”

But as soon as she said it, her brows furrowed with concern.
