Ben casually handed Jamie the keys, his tone light. “I have no use for it.”
Though it sounded nonchalant, it was true.
Jamie hesitated for a moment before accepting the keys. Having a car of her own wasn’t a bad idea. It would make it easier to get Charlie to and from school without always relying on Ben for transportation.
“Well, since you won, the Gem Harbor project is yours now,” Tim announced unexpectedly.
The surprise left Jamie stunned, while Ben remained composed, as if he had anticipated this outcome. He exchanged a few polite words with Tim and then led Jamie back to the car.
On the drive, Jamie couldn’t help but ask, “Did you know this would happen?”
“Know what? That Tim’s event was a cover for vetting partners? If not for that, do you think he’d bother hosting a party just to play games?” Ben’s calm gaze flicked toward her, his tone matter-of-fact.
His air of confidence made it seem as though everything had unfolded exactly as he planned. Jamie nodded, falling silent as she stared out the window.
Her thoughts wandered. It was clear now why Ben was so adept at navigating these situations. No wonder his father had been so determined to keep him at the company.
The trip, initially scheduled for three days, was wrapped up in just one, leaving Jamie to assume they would be heading home early. But then she learned Ben had reserved the hotel’s private beach for the day.
The hotel manager’s cheerful invitation downstairs left her dumbfounded. “Someone has requested your presence on the beach, Miss Lewis. Mr. Lucas has made all the arrangements and is waiting for you.”
Ben went all out again?
Jamie couldn’t ignore the manager’s knowing smile and felt her face heat up, her discomfort palpable. But she complied, changing into something appropriate before heading down.
