Settling Claudia on the couch, Bennett said, “Cece mentioned her leg was causing her discomfort."

He lied effortlessly.

Bennett fetched a cushion and positioned it behind Claudia's lower back. He then stood and retrieved his phone. “I'll call the driver."

Subsequently, he exited, leaving Claudia and Jace in the living room, sharing a glance.

As he watched Bennett's retreating figure, Jace commented, “Cece my dear, it's sweet of Bennett to pamper you, but you really shouldn't exploit him." ®
