Jamie froze. Though she didn’t meet his gaze, she could feel Ben’s emotions lingering in the air. Her resolve wavered, but that unspoken thorn in her heart held her back. She stayed silent, even as Ben got up and left. After that, things between them shifted, the atmosphere growing subtly tense.

Jamie glanced at Ben, who was engrossed in a stack of documents, and quickly looked away. “Nothing at all. We’re just focusing on work,” she replied lightly. The assistant didn’t buy it, but lacking proof, he had no choice but to drop the matter. “Do you play golf?” Ben’s voice broke the silence suddenly. Jamie blinked, startled by the question. “A little, but I often miss or send the ball flying,” she admitted honestly. Ben’s lips twitched slightly, suppressing a smile. Sending the ball flying?
