Cameron took her phone back and looked at the screen. “You can just say it if you want my number. There’s no need to be so secretive.” “What if you rejected me? Wouldn’t it make me look bad?” Waylon replied nonchalantly.Cameron looked at him and replied, “Why should I reject you? It’s just a phone number…”Suddenly, something crossed her head before she could finish her sentence. She raised her eyebrows and chuckled. “Are you not worried that I’ll delete your number?” “There’s nothing I can do if you want to delete my number,” replied Waylon. “But about the cheque…” Cameron’s expression changed, and she turned off her phone as if she was worried that she might accidentally delete his number.“Don’t worry. I won’t delete it.” He narrowed his eyes. “It seems to me that I’m the one getting the short end of the stick in this deal.” Cameron put her phone back into her pocket and replied matter-of-factly, “We’re all in the same boat. There’s no need to make such a clear differe
Cameron crossed her arms in front of her chest and turned her face sideways. “I’ll buy you another shirt.”Waylon squinted and replied, “I’m sure you know that all of my clothes are bespoke suits, right, Ms. Southern?”Cameron was stunned and looked at him in shock. “Are you saying that I need to go to Stoslo to look for the shop?”“Didn’t you say you wanted to buy me a new one?” Waylon lifted his eyebrows. “Since you’re going to buy me new clothes, you have to show some sincerity, don’t you think so?”She took a deep breath, gnashed her teeth, and replied, “Fine! I shouldn’t have promised you anything!”Cameron turned around and stormed back to her room. Waylon looked at her and asked, “Are you not going to buy me a new shirt anymore?”“I don’t have money!” she replied without turning her head back.Even though Cameron acted shamelessly, Waylon did not get angry at her. After all, it was just a shirt, and he did not feel the need to make a big scene out of it. The next day...
Waylon did not defy her claim. “I've been awake from the moment you came in.”Cameron was stumped. “So, you’ve been pretending to be asleep the whole time?”He chuckled. “If I didn’t pretend to be asleep, how would I know what you were trying to do?” Cameron was so angry that the veins on the corner of her forehead bulged. She felt as if she had been toyed with by him. She took a deep breath, placed her hands on her waist, and said, “Initially, I wanted to buy you a new shirt, but since you toyed with me like that, I think I don’t want to buy you any clothes anymore.”He raised his eyebrows. “I didn’t want you to buy me new clothes either. But since you want to…” He got down from the bed and stood in front of her with his arms spread. “Take all the measurements you want.”Cameron was stunned. She turned her head sideways and said, “I don’t want to.”Waylon pulled her hand, and before she could come around to her senses, he had already placed her arms around his waist. She was
Donald turned to look at him. “Isn’t there someone shadowing Fabio?”Chunky lowered his head. “I don’t know if Fabio has found out about our plan. All the people that we’ve sent to keep an eye on him have all gone off the radar.”Donald closed his eyes, and his facial expression stiffened. “He’s fallen so far and gotten so dumb that he plans to work with the Southern Clan.”He then opened his eyes and looked at Chunky. “Since Fabio has chosen not to comply, then there’s no need for us to keep him alive. Getting rid of him is the only way for me to completely take over his faction.”Chunky responded, “Then I’ll get someone to make it happen now.”…Cameron came to The Commune at noon, and the people in The Commune were stunned when they saw her in women’s clothes. After all, it was their first time seeing Cameron in women’s clothes.“Mr— Ms. Southern.”Everyone still had not gotten accustomed to this sudden change in her appellation.Cameron cleared her throat. “You can call me
Fabio grunted. “F*ck!”The men in black surrounded the car with guns. “Fabio Puzo, your time is up.”Seeing that Fabio did not respond, one of them carefully went around the car and came to the rear of the car, where Fabio rushed out from behind abruptly. The man was caught off guard, reacted almost instantly, and a thunderous gunshot pierced through the sky, but the bullet missed.The man in black had his gun snatched, lost his balance as Fabio kicked him violently, and fell to the ground.When the other men saw this, they immediately fired at Fabio.Fabio retreated to the rear of the car to avoid the bullets. The shattered glass cut his arm, and blood spurted through torn flesh. And that was when a man in black suddenly rolled over the car's roof and knocked Fabio down.Just as he was about to shoot Fabio, someone shouted, “Sh*t! Someone’s here!”The man lost focus for a split second and was kicked over by Fabio. The latter picked up the gun and shot him in the head, and blood
Fabio fell into a trance and did not utter a single word for a long time.…At 7:00 p.m., Cameron came back from outside.Sunny sat in the living room drinking tea, raised his gaze, and looked at the person who stepped into the house. “Where did you go all day long?”She stopped in front of the stairs and replied, “I went to The Commune.”Sunny squinted and glanced at her. “Then why did you go into Willy’s room this morning?”“How do you know that?”‘Wayne doesn’t seem to be a loquacious person. One of the servants has most probably seen me.’Sunny chuckled. “You, a full-grown lady, actually went into a man’s room. Tell me the truth, are you plotting against him?”“Don’t you slander me, I didn’t do so.”“Then what did you do in the room?”“I was measuring his size.”Sunny lost his firm grip on the teacup for a split second, and the lid fell onto the table.After a while, he asked in astonishment. “What... exactly what did you measure in there?”Cameron knew her father had
Waylon grabbed his bathrobe off the shelf, put it on slowly, and smiled. “Mr. Southern, this is the second time that you’ve broken into my room.”Cameron lied with an earnest expression, “I knocked on the door, but you didn’t respond.”He fastened his belt. “I might not have responded, but you just broke in?”Cameron thought of something, lifted her head, and met his gaze. “This seems to be my home. Even if I’ve broken into your room, you don’t have the right to say anything about it. Besides, even if I were to see you b*tt naked, you wouldn’t even suffer any losses.“Waylon froze in place for a short moment, lifted his gaze, and chuckled abruptly. “You actually wish to see me b*tt naked?”“No, I don’t.”“You touched me all over earlier this morning, and you now wish to see me b*tt naked. No matter how I look at it, it seems that I’ve suffered a huge deal of losses.”“Stop the nonsense—”“Willy.” Sunny’s voice came from outside the door, and Cameron was so frightened that she f
Cameron was rather smart but could also sometimes be very confused. However, when faced with life-and-death situations, she was always a calm and rational person, but she seemed to lose her cool very easily and often when she was in front of him.Waylon stretched out his hand, tucked the locks and strands of hair that were covering her face behind her auricle with his fingertips, and squinted slightly. “Good for you, getting to sleep so soundly.”…A ray of sunlight beamed into the room through the window, penetrated through the gap in the curtains, and reflected onto the couch. Cameron slowly opened her eyes, recalled something, and sat up abruptly.She removed the blanket covering her, looked around, and suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit to Waylon’s room last night. It was obvious that she had not only fallen asleep in his room but also forgotten what she wanted to talk to him about.Cameron walked up to the door and opened it, and that was when two maids who passed b
