Meanwhile, across the road from the research institute, Jayden stood at attention as he watched the two women inside. He had an indifferent look on his face and a homemade lunchbox in his hand. However, it appeared that Camilla no longer had a need for it. Jayden withdrew his gaze and turned around, walking away wordlessly.… Kylie couldn't help but blurted, "Truth be told, Camilla, you're gorgeous. Why did you choose to major in biology? You should have pursued arts instead. You could have become a star in performing arts."Camilla gave her a helpless look. "Do you think anyone can just become a star?"Kylie insisted, "Well, I think you're even more beautiful than those celebrities. You should consider it."Camilla hummed. "Let's eat. I still have a lot of things to do.""Fine, let's eat." Kylie left it at that, and the two of them quickly began their meal. Camilla was indeed hungry. She greedily wolfed down the food Kylie had brought for her."Go and have fun, Kylie. I ne
"I can see why you went out to personally escort her in, Mr. Dashner. She's a beauty," remarked Nikolai, the club owner, as he observed Simon bringing Camilla inside, immediately captivated by her stunning appearance. Simon glanced at him and asked, "Are you jealous?"His question took Nikolai aback. Simon continued, "Don't be. Jealousy just makes you look uglier."Nikolai remained silent as he scolded Simon inwardly, "That cocky bastard!"Nikolai took in Camilla's stunning face. Despite wearing some cheap clothes, her whole demeanor was ethereal and graceful. She was like a beautiful ice sculpture.Something stirred within Nikolai's heart just then. Simon asked Camilla, "Are you hungry?"Camilla nodded hesitantly.Simon led her toward the buffet area with a cigarette in his mouth."Here. You can eat whatever you want." Simon pointed to a table nearby. "I'll be there. You can join me after you're done eating.""Okay." Camilla nodded.Simon turned and left.The buffet ar
A commotion erupted at the entrance, causing everyone in the hall to rise from their seats and gather around the door. The racing club was brimming with the affluent young heirs of Clacton. However, they couldn't hold a candle to the Moore family, one of Clacton's big four.Meeting Jayden here was a golden opportunity for them to establish a good relationship with the Moore family, which might be helpful for their family businesses.Jayden walked into the club wearing a white suit. His gentle and refined face was adorned with a faint smile. His demeanor emanated politeness and elegance. "It's been a while, Mr. Moore.""What brings you here today, Mr. Moore?""Mr. Moore! Here! Let's have a drink!"The crowd gazed at Jayden with an air of reverence and respect. Simon casually leaned back in his seat. He gave Camilla a weird smile. When he saw that her eyes were trained on Jayden, Simon couldn't help but chuckle lowly.Camilla immediately snapped back to her senses. A faint bl
Nikolai immediately approached Jayden. "It starts whenever you want it to, Mr. Moore."Jayden smiled faintly. "There's no need for that. You're the club owner. It's only natural that you call the shots. I'm just here to watch the show."Nikolai quickly nodded. "You're right, Mr. Moore. Then, let us begin now."Upon hearing this, the staff immediately went to prepare.Tonight was the anniversary celebration of the racing club, featuring a variety of exciting programs. A thrilling night race around the mountain was among them, accompanied by a vibrant bonfire party. But the main highlight revolved around showcasing an impressive collection of cars from the past years.As the program commenced, everyone started making their way outside. Soon, a considerable number of people gathered on the spacious grounds.… Camilla finally managed to light the cigarette for Simon. She returned the lighter to him and subconsciously glanced toward Jayden, only to find that he had already left the
Jayden smiled at Camilla. "You're right."Camilla's heart tightened. She had a feeling there was more to his words. However, Jayden had turned and walked away when Camilla gave him a questioning look.Camilla instinctively wanted to chase after him, but Simon grabbed her arm. "Camilla."Camilla let out a shaky breath and uttered, "Let go of me."But Simon's voice remained calm as he said, "You can't go after him. You are my assistant. You're not to leave my side without my permission during work hours."Camilla closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down. She turned back to Simon and said, "Mr. Dashner, I just want to go over and have a few words with him. I'll come back right after."Simon's brows furrowed, and he hissed in a low voice, "Do you have any idea where we are? And you want to go to him in front of all these people? Do you wish to embarrass me that much?"A chill ran down Camilla's spine from the harsh look Simon was giving her. Anger surged within her as she con
Camilla's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to roll down the window and speak to Jayden, but Simon stopped her."What are you doing?" Simon said with a dangerous tone. "It appears that Mr. Moore wants to challenge me. I've heard about your younger brother, Joseph, being a racing expert, but I never knew you could race. I'm learning something new today."Camilla pursed her lips worriedly. She had no knowledge of Jayden being skilled in racing. It was a realization that made her question herself.It wasn't as if she was part of his life. She didn't even know his likes and dislikes, his strengths and weaknesses, or anything substantial about him. The truth was, she knew close to nothing about him. At this thought, a depressed look flashed across Camilla's gaze.Simon smirked at her. "Camilla, I'll show you what racing is all about today!"Nikolai was in no position to provoke either of them. He started hesitantly, "Mr. Moore, Mr. Dashner, why don't you both take a warm-up lap? Be
Jayden's car came to a stop at the finish line, and with a calm and leisurely demeanor, he stepped out of the vehicle. A faint smile graced his face as he watched the approaching car.Camilla stumbled out of the car. She couldn't hold it in any longer and immediately began to vomit, afflicted by terrible motion sickness."Are you okay?" Simon handed a bottle of water to Camilla in concern. Camilla emptied her stomach and felt a little relief from the nausea. She took the water Simon offered and rinsed her mouth with it."I'm fine," she replied.Simon felt guilty. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have forced you into the car."Camilla's face was pale, and she looked more fragile than usual.Jayden walked over, took hold of her wrist, and led her toward the rest area."What are you doing, Jayden?" Camilla was startled and immediately struggled against him.However, she was still dizzy and weak from her motion sickness. She didn't have the strength to break free from his grasp.Simo
Camilla unconsciously got up and prepared to chase after Jayden, but she quickly stopped herself.She was the one who had ended it. And he had agreed. They would have no further involvement, and from today onwards, their relationship would be purely professional. Wasn't this what she wanted? But why did she feel so miserable? She was even finding it hard to breathe!Camilla paled, and she stared blankly ahead. Simon walked over and immediately grabbed her wrist, leading her toward the exit.Camilla didn't argue nor resist, allowing herself to be taken away by Simon.Inside the car, Camilla finally snapped back to reality and coolly asked, "Can I have a day off today, Mr. Dashner?""No, you can't," Simon flatly refused her request.Camilla's eyelashes trembled but she kept quiet. Simon kept a cold expression, looking straight ahead. After a while, he finally spoke, "What do you like about him?"Camilla lowered her gaze. "I've already liked him for a long time now. I'v
