“Is it going to clash with your usual style?" Claudia asked, blinking her eyes hesitantly.

Given his social standing, would this watch be considered beneath him?

The watch, worth about four hundred thousand, wasn't cheap, but it paled in comparison to the one he usually wore, which Claudia recalled was about a million dollars' worth.

“Why would it clash?" Bennett chuckled,

After another quick glance at him, Claudia concluded that he didn't mind. She hurriedly took the watch and fastened it around his wrist.

Wow, it really was a perfect fit.

His wrist was cool to the touch and smooth in complexion; the dark brown of the watch band seemed to disappear into the black shirt sleeve, lending him an even more elegant air.

Claudia found herself looking at the watch multiple times, finally exclaiming, "It's gorgeous!"

She couldn't help but feel proud of her excellent taste.

Captivated by her, Bennett lowered his gaze and voiced his appreciation.

“It's stunning, Mrs. Dreskin. I love it."

When she heard his heartfelt words, a wave of jubilation and satisfaction washed over Claudia.

“As long as you enjoy it, that's what matters," she said, her smile radiating irrepressible delight.

She made a mental note; next time, she'd find something that would leave him even more spellbound,

Placing his old watch in the box, Bennett set it gently on the table.

He took another moment to admire the watch now adorning his wrist. really do love it," he affirmed.

Her eyes alight, Claudia looked up at him, "Are you sure? You're not just saying that to be kind?"

Was he trying to make her feel better? "Positive," he confirmed with a reassuring smile on his face.

Drawing her closer, he wrapped her waist with his arms and sealed his words with a tender kiss.

As their lips touched, he whispered in a low, heartfelt tone, "I've never been gifted something so precious.

Claudia was smitten by Bennett's words and his kiss, her mind filled only with the word “love” and the warmth of his lips.

The sudden ring of a mobile phone snapped them back to reality. With her face flushed, Claudia said, "I need to use the bathroom."

She turned and bolted into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her.

Looking in the mirror, she saw her face had turned the shade of a boiled shrimp.
