Camille’s mouth dropped open. “Get rid of him?! Mr. Callahan, that’s—”“Oh my. What’s going on inside that head of yours, Miss Parker?” Amusement flickered in Christian’s eyes. “I merely implied getting him fired or framed in order to get him out of the company.”Her lips stretched into a thin line. For some reason, she did not believe his reason one bit.“However,” Christian continued on, “such a thing is impossible at this time since Grady is good at his job. That means it’s up to you to uncover secrets and find out what’s going on under my orders.”Camille was seething on the inside.What in the world was going on? Why did it seem like she was being sent on an espionage mission of some sort? This certainly wasn’t a part of her job description, right? Sure, there had been times when they needed to scope out the competition, but to this extent…“You’re not gonna hurt him or anything, right?” she asked carefully, eyeing him with a wary look.“That depends on your performance. But yes,

Michael leaned back against his chair and closed his eyes.“You’re really sure about this?” he said quietly.Grady, who was standing next to his desk, nodded even though he knew that Michael couldn’t see him do so at the moment. “I am quite sure, Mr. McGregor,” he said. “As you know, my information gathering is always precise.”There was a ghost of a smile on Michael’s lips. “You’re right. You’ve always been reliable when it comes to digging up information about something.”“But of course, I understand why you have a hard time believing it,” Grady said solemnly. “However, I thought it best to inform you nevertheless. I felt that you deserve to know.”“I know,” Michael said. “I understand.”But in his heart, there was a deep turmoil brewing within. An internal conflict that made his rationality and emotions be at odds with each other.How, and why, did Camille become Christian Callahan’s fiancée?It was mind-boggling, to say the least. He had been expecting a lot of secrets on Camille’

Joanna casually entered the office and walked over to Michael’s desk. She was perfectly styled as always; her long brown hair was tied up in an elegant bun, and her brown eyes were narrowed, as if she were slightly displeased about something.Then again, she always did look that way.Meanwhile, Grady tried his best not to flinch visibly. Yes, this was his boss’s older sister, but he knew that the relationship between the two siblings was strained, so the fact that Joanna just walked into the office without even knocking made Grady a little nervous about what might happen next.Contrary to his fears, however, Michael didn’t seem unfazed by her intrusion.“What woman were you two talking about?” she asked indifferently, crossing her arms over her chest. She looked down at his desk and noticed Camille’s photos laid out for her to see. She took one and studied it closely. “And who is this woman?”Grady tensed even more. Joanna seemed pretty nonchalant about all this, which was a bit surpr

“What did you see?” he asked.Joanna was silent for a moment.“You’re in love with a woman who’s already engaged to another man?” she finally asked.Michael stopped moving, and his hand gripping the phone tightened.He already knew about it, but why did it hurt even more when it was said out loud by someone else?He knew that they would announce it one day, but the timing seemed uncanny. It was interesting how Grady managed to find it out before the official news.“When I saw it, I was quite surprised,” Joanna continued on. “I never expected such a timing. Wasn’t she the same girl that you mentioned years back?”Michael blinked. “The same girl?” he repeated. He didn’t recall ever mentioning Hailey’s name to his sister before.“When you asked me at that time to help you learn about the business,” she clarified. “To become capable enough to join the company and start learning the necessary skills. You told me that you were doing it for someone. For your friend.” He could hear the fainte

‘My family, huh?’ Michael thought to himself wryly.He stared at his desk, which was filled with documents and folders related to the company’s latest joint project. There had been a lot of work lately, and it helped keep him occupied.He then looked at his computer, which was currently on and had several tabs of websites open. There were also several folder applications open, displaying various documents neatly organized with their appropriate labels.This was his life.And it was depressing.It felt like he no longer had a goal, like he was just going through the motions like an empty shell.Back then, his goal had been to find Hailey. To make sure that she was okay, and also to get in touch with her.But now that he found her, it seemed that her situation was more complex than he had thought.Also, as he had told Grady, he didn’t want to investigate further on what had really happened to her, because he thought that it would be an invasion of privacy. He didn’t want to do that to h

Michael couldn’t help but feel a twinge of amusement. Straight to the point as always.His sister wasn’t one for small talk, anyway.“Kenny’s birthday is coming up next week, right?” he said. “I can’t be present on that day since I have an important business trip, but I’d like to come by two days early and bring him a present. That is, if it’s all right with you.”There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Michael could almost hear the internal debate that was probably going on right now inside of his sister’s head.Finally, Joanna sighed.“All right. Come by around noon. I’ll have lunch prepared for you.”She then hung up the phone.Michael shook his head as he put his phone inside his pocket.This was going to be difficult.But if he was going to reevaluate his life and try to find his true goal again, he had to patch up things from his past, one by one.And that included family matters, especially his strained relationship with Joanna.He was now in his thirties. Soon they

Joanna’s eyes narrowed slightly. It didn’t seem like she had fully expected this, but she wasn’t very surprised, either.In fact, it seemed as though she had prepared herself for this very day, just in case.“Tense is putting it lightly,” she said coldly. “You were always the golden child, weren’t you? You got all the attention, all the praise. And then, when you got into that accident in order to save me…”Her voice trailed off, and a mixture of guilt and resentment flickered in her eyes.Michael’s features tensed. “It might sound unbelievable to you, but I never blamed you for that,” he said quietly.She looked at him with a scowl playing on her lips. “That is impossible,” she stated as though it were a matter-of-fact. “We humans are not saints. You must’ve had an ounce of anger and regret. You cannot convince me otherwise.”“I chose to save you because you’re my sister,” Michael said calmly. “But I guess you’re right. There was some resentment. To be honest, I wanted to do sports a

“What is it?” Michael asked, puzzled. It was really out of the blue.“You used to pester me all the time even before the accident, right?” Joanna shook her head. “You were so annoying at that time. Like a brat who just wouldn’t stop.”Michael hesitated. “That was…” He raised a hand to rub his temples. He could feel the heat creeping up his neck from embarrassment. “I just wanted your attention. You were always avoiding me and just holed up in your room. Even though Will played with me whenever he was there, I longed for your attention, too. I also wanted to play with you.”She scoffed, but there was a soft look in her eyes that she couldn’t conceal. “Not a chance. Even then, I was not interested in playing with a kid.”“I figured as much after all the yelling you directed at me.”“You deserved it. Annoying little brat.”Michael couldn’t help the small, amused smile that curved his lips.Joanna turned her eyes to him, and now any trace of coldness was gone from her expression. “I remem

“Hear what?” Michael asked, puzzled.When she didn’t reply and started wandering towards a certain direction, he paused and strained to listen.He really didn’t hear anything, but that was probably because he had been too distracted by Camille.Meanwhile, Camille moved towards the source of the noise, hearing it more clearly now. Maybe it was because of her self-defense lessons and her natural attentiveness to her surroundings, but she could usually pick up on small details that no other person would notice unless they were paying close attention.This time there was another sound, and it was like a low, threatening voice, followed by another scream that sounded even more desperate. They gradually faded, though, as if they were slowly receding.Camille couldn’t let them do that.She walked briskly until she spotted something. An alley. Of course. Alleys, especially dark, narrow ones like this, tended to drive people away out of caution and fear. Crime didn’t disappear in a big city li

Fortunately, when they arrived at the burger joint, no one recognized them or anything. Maybe they did a good job of looking and acting normal.They quickly found a booth in the corner, conveniently away from prying eyes.As they sat down, the familiar smell of grilled burgers and fries filled the air, bringing back a flood of memories.“This place has changed a bit, hasn’t it?” Camille said, marveling at the renovation of the building. Back then, it had been smaller and had dull colors for wallpaper.But now, the surroundings were vibrant, and it certainly looked bigger.Michael grinned. “It has. It’s been ages since we were last here.”They eagerly ordered their usual: cheeseburgers with fries and milkshakes. They didn’t usually eat like this, especially on weekdays, so it was like a nice treat after working so hard.Camille was especially excited. She had been upset earlier, especially after what had happened with Christian, but now all that was fading away in the back of her mind.
The Miracle of You Chapter 121
That last part was out of jest, Camille was sure. It made the corners of her lips threaten to tug upwards.She looked down at her clothes. She was still dressed in her business attire — a fitted blouse and a pencil skirt — and she was also wearing a long coat to stave off the cold. Summer was over now, so the nights were usually chilly.She felt around her pockets and touched the hat that she had hidden in one of them. It was a black beanie that she liked to wear whenever she wanted to hang around outside, but rarely had the occasion to do so because she was always so busy.Her thoughts soon wandered into an uncertain territory.Was it a good idea to have dinner with Michael so late?What if someone saw them?What if…While she was still pondering over what choice to make, another message from Michael came in.‘I thought we could go to that burger place that we used to go to back in high school. We could also get some snacks at the nearby food stalls if you want.’Camille blinked, her
The Miracle of You Chapter 120
When Camille ended the call, she leaned back against the bench, feeling the energy drain out of her.Now, all pretenses were gone. She closed her eyes and allowed herself a moment of peace, feeling the sensation of the evening breeze against her exposed skin.It was a cold night, but she didn’t really mind. The day’s events had taken a lot out of her, and she preferred to cool off rather than simmer in the heat of anger any longer.She could act strong, independent, and reliable in front of her brothers like the big sister that she was supposed to be, but once she was alone with nobody to display that mask to, she was a wreck. A mess of emotions. Someone who had developed a limit that grew shorter and shorter through time.Now, she was a woman who could barely control her anger and frustration, completely unlike the calm teenager she used to be. With these negative emotions making her mood fluctuate often, it made her feel like a shadow of who she once was.‘Since when have I become t
The Miracle of You Chapter 119
After shutting down the computer, Camille cast a glance at the closed door of Christian’s office and felt a grimace contort her features.He had gone home earlier before her, but that was only because he needed to get ready to entertain guests at his father’s mansion tonight. Maybe his relatives were coming to pay a visit, or maybe they were very important clients. Camille didn’t really care.At least she didn’t need to face him again later on. The thought of that kiss that he had forced upon her made her feel like gooseflesh were crawling up her skin. Not a pleasant sensation at all.Camille shook her head vehemently, as if that would help force the memory away.She refused to think about that dreadful incident anymore. If she continued to dwell on it, she would only end up tearing her hair out from anger and frustration.She had more important things to do than let herself sink into rage over Christian’s thoughtless actions.So, she packed her things and headed home.Since she worke

Camille didn’t know how she did it, but she managed to return to her desk without collapsing to the ground or stumbling in her steps.When she reached her chair, she immediately sank into it, feeling the hot vestiges of anger running all over her skin. It was as though lava was overflowing through several parts of her body, not yet evaporating into thin air.‘I need to calm down,’ she thought.When she caught a glimpse of her reflection in the mirror on her desk, she was almost startled at what she saw.Her face was flushed, and her eyes were bloodshot. Her hair was also a little tousled in some angles.In short, she was a mess.She quickly turned away, unable to stomach the sight of herself.She felt so exhausted that she was already longing for the comfort of her bed back at home. To be away from all this confusing, chaotic mess. To slowly untangle all the knots in her mind and try to figure out what to do next.So much had happened in such a short time, and she wasn’t physically an
The Miracle of You Chapter 117
At first, Christian hadn’t planned to kiss her.He wasn’t an impulsive man, but in this particular situation, he found that the urge to do something reckless was quite strong.Not exactly a reckless move, per se, but one that came along with his irritation.It was just that, as he watched Camille’s expression and heard the subtle change in tone in her voice when it came to Michael, Christian felt a growing urgency inside of him that he couldn’t bear to ignore.He could feel it, that her heart was drifting towards another man, that her feelings were growing until they became a big part of her.He felt that time was running out and that if he didn’t act now, she might belong to him physically, but not emotionally.And he would never be able to make her heart waver in the slightest.And oddly enough, despite his pride in the fact that he was not the kind of man who would be carried away by his emotions, the thought of Camille never being able to be completely his unsettled him greatly.S
The Miracle of You Chapter 116
Camille gritted her teeth. “Isn’t that a given?! No woman in the world would be able to put up with a snake like you!” she snapped.“Oh, but you’re still with me now even after all these years, aren’t you, Hailey?” he taunted.She bit her lower lip, trying to restrain her rage from overflowing like a dam. “I told you to stop calling me that!”She could never understand why he seemed to take such pleasure in calling her by her former name. He knew how painful it was for her to remember those memories, as well as the regret that lingered inside of her from her impulsive decision to leave the family that loved her.Yet he continued to torment and mock her at every opportunity that he had.Ignoring her words, Christian stepped forward and pinned her against the wall, his expression frosty and intimidating.She flinched slightly, but made sure not to show any fear or discomfort on her face.“But you’re okay with Michael McGregor calling you by that name,” he remarked icily.“Of course,” sh
The Miracle of You Chapter 115
Camille’s breathing quickened slightly, and she could feel her blood slowly turning to ice.To be honest, she already had an inkling in her mind, but she pushed it away, refusing to even acknowledge the possibility.She did not want to believe or accept that it was Christian who had made the effort to get her father on Dr. Colmen’s priority list.If she did, he would think that she owed him for it, and he would definitely hold it over her head for a long time.Camille felt a knot of anxiety tighten in her stomach. It was getting harder and harder to maintain her calm facade.“Hmm… you don’t look so good,” Christian remarked, drinking in her silent reaction. “If it were anyone else but you, I would be offended, but this kind of reaction is within my expectations. Believe it or not, Miss Parker, but I think I’ve grown fond of you.”She scowled at him, but her dark gaze must have been weak, because he only looked more amused.“I’m still waiting for your expression of gratitude, Miss Park
