Sitting in the car, Claudia reflected on the recent events, questioning if her brain was in a jumble.

How had she just thrown herself at Bennett?

Her heart inadvertently paced faster at the thought of her tumble into Bennett's arms.

How shameless!

Their relationship was for show, yet her actions suggested a bashful maiden who was a stranger to love.

But the man in question was Bennett!

The most handsome and wealthiest individual in the entire city!

How could she not succumb to his allure?

“What's on your mind?"

His voice unexpectedly punctuated the car’s tranquility.

Startled, Claudia glanced at the man beside her and blurted out unguardedly, "I was thinking about the most handsome and wealthiest individual in the entire city!"

Her declaration made, she noted Bennett's facial expression shift distinctly.

He held her gaze with his obsidian eyes. Claudia blushed, “It's not as it sounds!"

“And how is it then?"

What was she thinking?

Could she disclose her reddened face and quickened pulse whenever she was in his embrace?

The embarrassment of admitting such was unbearable.

«. It's..."

Hesitating, Claudia parted her Lips.

“Enough with the denials."

A rueful smile found its way to Claudia's face. She bowed her head, not bothering with an explanation.

She was somewhat weary.

Regardless of her defense, Bennett would never believe her.

Convincing him further seemed pointless.
