When he got downstairs for breakfast fully dressed, the food was already served on the table. However, Camille was nowhere to be seen.“Where is she?” he asked one of the maids nearby.The maid, Marie, approached him and said politely, “Miss Parker went ahead to the company, Mr. Callahan. She said to inform you that she will go to work early to finalize preparations for the Solar Project.”“I see,” Christian said. Marie quickly excused herself to the kitchen.He watched her leave with a slightly raised eyebrow. He had noticed that she never met his eyes the whole time. In fact, there seemed to be a hint of fear in her demeanor.Had he been unruly last night? He still couldn’t remember much, but if so, that would be humiliating. He had always prided himself on being calm and decisive at all times. If he had behaved like a foolish drunk last night…Christian decided that he would have to confront Camille about this later at the company. He had an inkling as to why she left before him, a

“Good morning, Mr. Huckington,” Camille greeted politely, forcing a smile on her lips. She hoped that it didn’t look too strained.“Good morning, Miss Parker,” Harold said. “A fine morning we’re having so far, isn’t it?”“Ah, yes. Perhaps.”“Hmm? What’s the matter? Are you having a bad day already?”Camille was having a hard time keeping the smile on her face. “Not at all, Mr. Huckington. I just personally think that it’s too early to tell.”She felt a little stumped. Whenever Harold visited the company, Christian was always here to handle him. She had never been left alone with Harold before, and she was starting to get a little nervous.‘No. I can do this without that bastard’s help,’ she thought in determination. ‘Let’s just not give him any ideas.’“Well, as for me, I’m having a rather interesting day, Miss Parker,” Harold said with a grin. “Would you like to know why?”Camille refused to fall for the bait. “Mr. Huckington, if you’re here for Mr. Callahan, he hasn’t arrived yet.

Chapter 73

Harold immediately let go of Camille, but he did not move an inch from his position. In fact, he almost seemed smug.‘How foolish,’ Camille thought in her head, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.“What were you doing just now?” Christian’s voice was icy cold.“Just talking with your little secretary,” Harold had the guts to respond.“Excuse me?”Meanwhile, Camille took a few steps back, dusting off her collar and fixing her blouse in place. She could not keep the disgust off her expression. She would let Christian deal with this now, thank god.That just now was one of the most revolting situations she had ever been placed into. Normally she would pummel touchy men like that into the ground, but seeing as this was one of the more influential men in the city, she could not afford to be too hasty. Reputation mattered in this town, unfortunately.She also did not want to be in the spotlight too much. The Callahans made sure that her new identity was not suspicious at all and pulled a l

The atmosphere in the office instantly changed. The murderous look in Christian’s eyes faded away, replaced by a startling blankness.Startled, Camille wondered what exactly Harold meant by that.‘The truth about Pamela Callahan’s death?’ she thought, shocked. ‘I only heard that Gregory Callahan lost his wife to an illness, but at that time, she had already left him and their kids.’‘Come to think of it, I’m not sure if they got an actual divorce back then…’At that moment, employees started to notice the commotion. Camille stepped back and tried not to seem like she was involved in any of this. Gossip was merciless in a society like this one.Christian knew this as well, so he backed off a bit. Interestingly, he no longer looked furious. Instead, there was this cold, calculative look in his eyes.“We will talk about this tomorrow,” he said icily. “Alone.”Harold looked satisfied at this. “Very well. Like you, I don’t want any trouble, either. I’m glad that we have both come to a mutu

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’

Chapter 77

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

Chapter 80

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
