"Hello, I'm Violet. It's nice to meet you," said a young woman, petite in stature, as she sat across from Camilla at the elegant mahogany dining table."The pleasure is mine," Camilla responded, returning a warm smile.""Hi, I'm Clara," introduced a woman with short, vibrant red hair."I'm a huge admirer of your work. Your designs have been a constant source of inspiration for me. Your fashion sense and unique style are truly exceptional." She spoke with reverence, her gaze fixed on Camilla with admiration.Before Camilla had a chance to reply, Alexander interjected, clearing his throat to get their attention."Excuse me," he said, directing a look of slight annoyance towards Clara."What's the matter, Alexander? Can't hold your horses for dessert?" Clara teased, turning her attention away from Camilla."Oh, hush already," Alexander replied, rolling his eyes in annoyance."Why must you always be so vulgar?" Clara asked, her expression turning into a frown."Because it's just who I am,

"Fine. I don't understand why I even came here," Violet exclaimed, abruptly standing up from the table. She snatched her coat from the back of the chair and threw it on.With swift strides, she made her way out of the room, leaving the others, except for Harriet, in stunned silence."Sit down and finish your meal, young lady," Harriet commanded firmly, as Clara quickly rose to follow Violet."Don't worry, Grandma. I only want to explain to Violet the impropriety of her question," Clara replied calmly."Take your seat," Harriet commanded, her tone leaving no room for discussion."But..." Clara began."Did I not make myself clear?" Harriet interjected, her gaze becoming more intense.Clara sighed, lowering herself back into her chair, fidgeting with her utensils and avoiding eye contact with her grandmother.Harriet broke the silence, clearing her throat and turning to Camilla. "I apologize for Violet's inappropriate behavior. She still has a lot to learn."Camilla graciously declined t

"I think she'll be a bit late," she said uncertainly.Camilla expressed her disappointmen

"What do you mean, exactly?" she replied, her tone laced with confusion.Despite her best efforts to conceal it, a hint of amusement threatened to play on her lips as she took in their astounded expressions."This is inappropriate, you can't sit on him."

Harriet smiled back. "That's great, sweetie."Just then, a woman dressed in a fancy, bright red dress appeared behind Harriet, her dark curls cascading down her shoulders.She was accompanied by a younger man, who was also dressed in formal attire."Mom!" Isabel cried out as she went over to hug the woman, who patted her on the back."Hey, honey," the woman replied.Harriet gasped as she turned to look at the duo. "Didn't you two say you weren't coming?""We decided to surprise you, grandma," the young man spoke softly beside the woman.Harriet gazed at the new arrivals for a moment before turning back to Camilla and Alexander, who was already staring at the woman with a sheepish grin."Dear," Harriet addressed Camilla. "This is Harvey, Alexander's mother."Camilla smiled slightly and nodded, extending her hand towards Harvey."Oh no, dear," Harvey said, putting her arm around Camilla and pulling her close into a warm embrace.

You provoked him!" Camilla retorted, visibly angry.It was clear she was trying to control herself, not wanting to escalate the already heated situation."Oh, shut up you slut!"

Chapter Twenty-Seven

The car was filled with silence as Camilla drove down the familiar route. She glanced over at Alexander and noticed that his head was down, and his bloodstained knuckles were still clenched tightly."Are you okay?" she asked, her tone filled with concern.Alexander didn't look up at her, simply responding in a cold tone, "I'm fine."His curt answer caused Camilla's brow to furrow. He wasn't sounding like the playful and cocky Alexander she had become accustomed to over the past few weeks. She turned her gaze back to him again."You don't seem to be," she said, her words carrying a great deal of worry in her tone, despite her attempts to hide it with just a natural concern."I'm fine, honestly. Don't worry about me," he replied, finally lifting his head to look her in the eyes.His blue eyes reflected an emotion she couldn't identify, an emotion she so badly wanted to question. But she felt like she shouldn't push him further and sighed softly, "Okay then," she whispered.With convicti

As Camilla relaxed in her office chair, she leisurely spun it back and forth while absentmindedly twirling a pen between her teeth.A sheepish smile lingered on her lips, reflecting her mixed emotions of embarrassment and disbelief about the events with Alexander the previous night.Despite replaying every moment in her head, she was still trying to understand everything.She had long suspected his feelings for her, but his direct confession had taken her by surprise.Suddenly, the door to her office swung open, the click-clack of her PA's shoes interrupting her thoughts.Lauren approached Camilla's desk with a broad smile, "Someone's in a good mood today?" she remarked.Camilla smiled back, "I'm always in a good mood.
