"It's fine. You don't have to feel stressed over it. Just remember to mention it to him," said Aurora.

“I will."

“Alright, since he just got back home, I won't disturb you anymore," Aurora said with a mischievous chuckle.

Before Claudia had the chance to reply, Aurora had already hung up the phone.

Claudia was left wide-eyed and speechless.

What was Aurora even implying anyway?

Aurora ended the call, and her glowing expression caught the attention of her coworkers. One couldn't resist asking, "What's the big news? You seem thrilled."

"It's about the anniversary celebration. Everything's settled. I'm so excited," she answered.

Her colleague appeared slightly taken aback.

“Seriously? Are you in contact with Bennett?"

Keen to avoid people asking for favors in the future once they found out her relationship with Claudia, Bennett's lawful wife, Aurora decided to brush things off lightly.

“Not exactly. I just got lucky!" After a pause, she continued, "I've got to run. I need to arrange for a courier to deliver the invitation."

Thereafter, Aurora exited swiftly, leaving her colleagues in a buzz of speculation.

“Do you think she’s putting on a show? Bennett never goes to events like these. Plus, there's zero collaboration between our companies. How did Aurora get him to come?"

“I don't think she's lying. She Looks so confident."

Meanwhile, Claudia refilled a glass of water and went off to find Marcia in the kitchen. She briefed her on the invitation on the way, asking her to manage it Later, and then headed upstairs with her water

After entering the master bedroom, she found Bennett freshly showered and stepping out of the bathroom.

As she passed through the dressing area, Claudia couldn't help but notice him in his bathrobe.

It hung loosely around him, the belt scarcely fastened and the collar wide open, nearly revealing his stomach.

Feeling her cheeks flush, Claudia quickly Looked away. She lifted the glass to her lips, delicately biting its rim.

Bennett, busy drying his hair, glanced at her reddening ears. A slight smile began to form on his lips.

Claudia discreetly looked up at him again and her cheeks turned even redder upon catching his warm smile.

"Oh, please! Stop staring at me Like that!" she sighed inwardly.

“I didn't even see anything," she said at the back of her mind.
