With 14 points and a 4-3-3-3 distribution this could be the perfect hand for a jump to 2NT. But not when the 4-card suit is a Major - you should not skip bidding a Major when you have the opportunity.

So you respond 1. Partner says 1♠. What do you bid?

Partner doesn't have 4 s so you go back to thinking this is an ideal notrump hand.
So ideal that you apply the "She who knows, goes" principle and bid 3NT. Partner smiles and passes.
