View MoreCade tossed his phone onto the table in frustration when he saw who entered. He pressed his hand against his brow."Leave. You should see Diane for a work uniform.""Are you feeling unwell, Mr. Carter?" Rosalia approached the desk with a glass of milk in hand. "I learned how to give massages. Why don't I…" "Get out."Cade abruptly got to his feet and avoided Rosalia's outstretched hand, causing the milk to spill all over him. He glanced down at his now-stained shirt with a dark expression and pressed his lips tightly together. After a long pause, he asked through clenched teeth, "Did my wife ask you to send this up?" Every syllable was pronounced with the gnashing of teeth.Rosalia froze under his piercing gaze."It really was Mrs. Carter who asked me to bring it to you, sir," she stammered."Leave. From now on, you will not enter my study unless you have permission."Rosalia had come to work as a housekeeper to land herself a wealthy husband. She had even bribed the manager
On the next day, Cameron was discussing the fashion show with Monica when she suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind. "Cammie…" It was Blaire.Although Monica didn't fully know about Cameron's past, she didn't like Blaire at all. What kind of mother wouldn't protect their own child, after all?However, it wasn't appropriate for her to intervene as much even though she was Cameron's close friend. After all, it was Cameron's family matter.Monica stood up with her notebook in hand and said, "Well, I just remembered that there's still a few more invitations to send, so I'll go and take care of that. Let's discuss more about the fashion show later."After saying that, she glanced at Blaire and left without even greeting her.Cameron got up and nodded at Blaire. "Is something the matter?"She thought that her distant attitude last night had made it clear enough that she didn't want any more involvement with the Yorksworth family. She didn't expect that Blaire would come and loo
Cameron pushed the door open. She looked tired as she laid down her bag. As she changed her shoes, she caught sight of the food on the dining table out of the corner of her eye."Diane, didn't I tell you I wasn't coming back for dinner? Why did you make so much food?"Diane glanced upstairs. "It's for Mr. Carter. He hasn't eaten yet."The moment Cade was mentioned, Cameron dropped the topic. She rubbed her sore shoulder as she headed upstairs. "I see.""Madam…" Diane called out hesitantly, looking troubled. "Mr. Carter asked you to call him down for dinner when you got home.""Me? Call him down for dinner?" Cameron stopped in her tracks and turned around in confusion. "Why?""Mr. Carter seems to be upset. Did you two have another fight?""So If he's in a bad mood, I'm supposed to go upstairs and invite him down to eat? Should I also say 'Your meal is ready, my liege!' while I'm at it?" Cameron scoffed. Her sarcastic smirk quickly faded. "He can eat if he wants. If he doesn't,
Cameron replied, "Did I ever say that I was a good person?"She tilted her head slightly as she smiled. Her damp hair gathered to one side.From Cade's perspective, the first thing he noticed was her slender neck and collarbone, with large areas of her fair skin exposed, speckled with a few water droplets from her wet hair.He felt a searing, intense emotion rising in his chest. This was Cameron's room, so it was filled with her scent. Cade subconsciously clenched his fists.The effects of the alcohol finally hit him, overwhelming his senses and making his head feel heavy and muddled.Cameron pulled open the door and gestured in a "see-you-out" motion. "I'm not one to force myself to please others, so we can discuss about our relationship when you decide to get rid of Mirabelle."Cade responded, "Can't it be something else?""Like what?" Cameron's gaze lingered on him as if she was inspecting an item for sale. "Is there anything about you that could spark my interest?"Her wor
Cameron told him the truth. "He's one of my juniors from college."Cade pursed his lips. "He likes you?"The way Richard looked at Cameron was obviously off."Yeah."Cade fell silent. Cameron's straightforward answer left Cade unsure how to respond. He felt a surge of frustration building up in his chest. Only after a while did he finally say, "I didn't know feminine boys were your type."Knowing Cameron, it was difficult to tell whether she liked someone. However, it was clear that she seemed more tolerant of Richard than anyone else.As humiliating as it was to admit, Cade knew that if he acted prideful, Cameron would probably make him feel cheated on without any hesitation.Cameron looked at Cade and said in a serious tone, "He's not feminine, he's just a bit young, so his jawline isn't as sharp as yours. Also, it's not noble to speak ill of others behind their backs, Mr. Carter."The way Cameron uttered "Mr. Carter" carried a mocking tone.Cade smiled coldly. "He's young
The man thought Cameron was upset, seeing that she did not respond. However, he was an outsider, so he wasn't in any place to comfort her.He kept shifting around his seat nervously and said, "If you truly like him, then you should go after him boldly. "Testing him out like this would only drive him further away. Not all men may like this approach, but most men wouldn't be able to resist it. Trust me, I know."Cameron turned around and replied calmly, "Sure. I trust you. Go on now."Cameron wasn't trying to find out whether Cade liked her. She just wanted to confirm whether she could work with the Bark family. But now, it seemed as if that was impossible.Richard Elsing turned his head, one hand gripping the back of his seat as he leaned toward Cameron. Youthful energy radiated from his sharp, confident expression, adding to his undeniable charm."Such a two-timing, indecisive scumbag isn't worth your attention, my lady. Why not give me a chance instead?"He flexed his arm, sho
Monica seemed touched as she stared at Cameron with sparkling eyes. "You've endured so much for our store."She had wondered how Cameron was going to find someone who could make Mr. Benson change his mind in one evening. She worried that time might be too short for any negotiations to take place. But now, she realized that the time was actually meant for Mr. Benson to sober up.Cameron knew Monica had misunderstood, but she couldn't be bothered to correct the mix-up. Just as she was about to drag Monica away, Fabian suddenly came back into the picture."I've checked the room, Mr. Carter. I can guarantee that not a single hair on Madam Cameron's head was harmed."Instantly, the atmosphere grew awkward. Cade shot him a glance, his expression sullen."Do you ever stop talking?""My apologies, Mr. Carter. That was out of line." Fabian quickly admitted to his mistake before asking, "But, have you told Madam Cameron?"Silence was his only answer."You're not going to win any girl's
Cade pursed his lips as he gazed sullenly at her, unmoving.Cameron added nonchalantly, "Don't worry. I won't hit her. We're just going to chat. If you're that concerned, you can stay and watch."Then, she tilted her head to glance inside the room, locking eyes with Mirabelle. "But I'm not sure if your precious sweetheart would want that."Cade frowned in frustration. He didn't like that he was being lumped together with Mirabelle. Also, what did she mean by "precious sweetheart"?With a grim expression, he explained, "It's not that I'm worried you'll hit her…"But the impatience on Cameron's face made it clear she didn't care what he thought. All she cared about was when he would leave. Cade swallowed the rest of his sentence with a bitter gulp.He ground his teeth together in frustration, then turned and left with no hesitation. Fabian, who was happily watching it all go down, hurried to follow."Are you just going to leave, Mr. Carter? What if Madam Cameron gets pushed around
Cameron's arrogant and domineering image was already deeply ingrained into Cade's mind. So, his first reaction upon hearing the words was disbelief. Who was capable of making things difficult for her? It would be a blessing if she didn't make things difficult for everyone else.When Cade didn't respond, Fabian assumed he wasn't planning to intervene. While contemplating the matter, he mumbled to himself, "There was so much alcohol. If she drinks it all, she might have to go to the hospital to get her stomach pumped."Cade's hand, which was reaching for his wine glass, froze midair. He shot Fabian an icy glare. "If you're that worried, feel free to drink in her place."Fabian inwardly felt satisfaction surging through him. Cameron wasn't his wife. Why should he be concerned when he wasn't the one being distracted because of her? Still, he maintained a respectful demeanor."One bottle and I'm out, Mr. Carter. Beer will do me in. But the drinks they ordered for Madam Cameron are har
