CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1705

Jamie cast a sidelong glance at Lila, her cold expression saying it all.

Even if she weren’t working as a secretary at Lucas Corporation, she was still a college graduate. If she couldn’t even handle creating a PowerPoint, she might as well give up entirely.

Lila paused, momentarily caught off guard. “Am I not allowed to question things?” she retorted defensively.

Jamie let out a dry laugh, ignoring the jab as she set up the projector. The PowerPoint Lila had demanded appeared crisp and professional on the screen.

Jamie turned to her with a composed smile. “Miss Lila, do you have any more concerns now?”

When it came to working with Lila, Jamie had already anticipated all the challenges Lila might throw her way. She had prepared meticulously for every possible scenario.

On top of that, during their encounter at Chroma Club, Ben had held back from taking further action against Lila solely because of Jamie.

Lila understood this now. She also realized that Jamie wasn’t just aiming to complete the project—she was using this collaboration to prove herself.

It was at this moment that Lila fully grasped Jamie’s thoroughness and ability to think ahead. Jamie wasn’t just capable—she was exceptional.

For the first time, Lila found herself conceding defeat.

And in that moment, she finally understood why Ben had chosen Jamie.

“I’ll sign the project,” Lila said finally, her tone more subdued. “And I won’t make things difficult for you again.”

Jamie smiled graciously. “It’s always better to have a friend than an enemy. You’re an incredibly capable person too, Miss Carson.”

Lila, however, felt undeserving of Jamie’s praise. After a brief pause, she lowered her head in a 90-degree bow and said, “Jamie, I owe you an apology for how I’ve behaved.”

This gesture stunned everyone in the room. Lila was a well-known figure in the industry, and no one would have expected her to humble herself like this.
