Chapter 31 Favor

(Lester’s POV)It was a rainy day in my office, and I had a pile of financial reports to take care of when my lawyer, Mr. Wilkins, entered with a grave expression on his face. I arched my brows at him. I don't remember calling him, which means there's a problem.He only comes here when something is up in Nexus that I should be worried about.The air in the room seemed to thicken as I looked up, sensing the weight of my lawyer's presence. He took the vacant chair in front of my desk. I threw him a curious glance. I don't like how his expression is painted.It feels like bad news to me.“Speak,” I briefly said, putting the screen of my laptop down. He looked at me, a hint of seriousness in his face. I began fidgeting my pen in my hands. He’s making me nervous when he’s like that."Lester, I have some troubling news," Mr. Wilkins began, his voice low and serious.My heart skipped a beat as I set down the papers, a sense of foreboding creeping over me. "What is it, Mr. Wilkins? What's wro

Chapter 32 Challenge

(Agnes’s POV)[One week later]My lips carved into a smirk as the soft glow of twinkling fairy lights illuminated my boutique. I scanned my eyes to the people who accepted my invitation to join me in the grand welcoming ceremony for my newly opened shop. I told everyone to wear something fancy, not wanting to ruin the expensive aesthetic of my shop.I was originally aiming to invite famous celebrities in my shop, but I wasn't expecting it to be harder than I thought. The person I bought this boutique from promised me that the celebrities knew this shop’s name.Did I just get scammed? Well, it doesn't matter anymore. I’m enjoying the hint of envy and jealousy in everybody’s eyes.They must be thinking that I’m living their dream lives again.Oh, how much I enjoy making these pitiful creatures jealous of my success. They could never be better than me. I was just lost for a few months after my forced vacation in Spain but I’m back.Richer than ever.The air was filled with a mix of excit

Chapter 33 Sick Leave

(Camilla’s POV)I watched in anticipation from my sleek black car that was parked across the street as Agnes poured her heart out to the designer, pleading for a unique design that could save her from impending defeat.My eyes narrowed as I observed the scene unfolding before me, a twisted smile playing on my lips.Who would have thought that she could turn into something like this? Looks like I have really found her weak spot. All I had to do was use her arrogance against her. It didn't take too much effort.My phone buzzed with an incoming call, and I answered with a cool, collected tone. "Yes, what is it?" I inquired, my voice tinged with a hint of anticipation.The designer's voice came through the line, uncertainty evident in her tone. "Miss Camilla, Agnes is here, begging for a unique design. What should I do?" she asked.A smirk carved into my lips.I have been sending a mailman to leave a flier about this designer outside her apartment. It looks like her rusty memory finally k

Chapter 34 Kiss it

(Camilla’s POV)Today is the day of the competition.I have prepared everything that I will need to defeat Agnes in her own game.I stood backstage, my fingers tracing the intricate patterns on my gown. The soft hum of conversation and the rustle of fabric filled the air as contestants prepared for the fashion designing competition.I glanced at the clock; it was almost time.Suddenly, Agnes burst in, her face glowing with confidence. "Camilla," she said, her voice dripping with mock sweetness, "ready to lose?"I raised an eyebrow, a small smile playing on my lips. "We'll see, Agnes. But I'm more curious about where you got your design,” I said meaningfully.Agnes smirked, waving dismissively. "Oh, wouldn't you like to know? Just wait until you see it. I’m sure you will be impressed.”A murmur went through the room as the tension between us thickened. It’s funny to see her all confident and arrogant with her design. She’s not even aware of the fact that the person who made her design

Chapter 35 Prank

(Camilla’s POV)Kalel and I traveled along the winding road to the province. We’re on our way to Becky’s house. How much I missed the smell of her humble home. I could listen to her 1950’s songs all day.I opened the glass window of the car, sticking out my hand to feel the air in my skin.My lips curved into a smile. I never thought going to the province would feel like a vacation.“You seem happier today,” Kalel remarked, a soft smile tugging at his lips.I didn't realize that Kalel had glanced over my direct and noticed the brightness in my eyes, a stark contrast to the somber mood I often carried.My eyes sparkled mischievously. “Really? I don't think so,” I playfully denied, pulling my back hand inside. “It’s just wonderful weather today. Don't you think so?”Kalel shrugged his shoulders, putting his eyes back in the road.I rolled my eyes, knowing very well that he doesn't believe a thing I say. I guess, I have no choice, but to share the good news.“It’s because Agnes kissed my

Chapter 36 Morning Wood

(Camilla’s POV)Kalel and I stared in silence at the shore, the tension between us palpable. The sky had begun to darken, the first stars appearing like distant pinpricks of light.But my mind is still swirling with confusion and a lingering sense of dread.How did Kalel know about my attempted suicide last year?It’s something I had kept closely guarded, a secret burden I thought no one else knew. I never told anyone about it. Not even Butler Jin.Unless, he’s the guy who saved me.I finally broke the silence, my voice barely above a whisper. “Kalel, how did you know about my attempted suicide before?” I asked, a hint of suspicion in my voice.Kalel’s face remained blank, his expression unreadable. “I was just guessing,” he said quietly. “You seemed very sad about your life.”He’s looking straight into my eyes, not breaking eye contact as he utters those words. But for some reason, I still think that he’s lying.Kalel is hiding something.I’m not satisfied with his answer. I furrowed

Chapter 37 Jealous

(Camilla’s POV)The three of us decided to enjoy a warm breakfast outside where air is filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers from Becky’s garden. We sat around a rustic wooden table, savoring the tranquility of the moment.Becky smiled, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "I can't wait for lunch today. Justin promised to bring me a fresh swordfish."My brows arched from the name she mentioned.Staying here in the province, I learned to buy fresh meat that we can usually get in the wet market conveniently. They are clean and enclosed in a plastic packaging. On the other hand, here in Becky’s village, it is usually delivered fresh from the sea.It’s been dressed though, so it’s not really that inconvenient. But I guess, it’s fresher that way. After all, we don't really know what those meat we bought in the grocery went through before they were put in their packaging.“When is he coming?” I asked, sipping from my smokin hot espresso.As if on cue, a young fisherman appeared at

Chapter 38 Kalel's Past

(Camilla’s POV)I opened the gate to find Justin calling from outside. He stood there, looking slightly nervous, his hands shoved into his pockets."Justin? Why are you back?" I asked, tilting my head in curiosity. "Did you forget something?"He’s still holding his basket that he used to bring the huge swordfish to us earlier. Not washed. I’m guessing that he hasn't come back from his shop either.Justin shifted his weight from one foot to the other, a sheepish smile spreading across his face. "Actually, I was going to ask Becky if she wanted to order some salmon. We just caught a fresh batch this morning,” he said, avoiding eye contact.Oh, salmon? That sounds divine.I glanced back towards the house. "Becky went out for a moment to buy something at the farmer's market. But you can come in and wait if you’d like,” I said, giving him a sweet smile.His eyes widened, looking inside the house like he was checking if Becky wasn't really there. I smiled softly and opened the gate widely.

Chapter 39 Talk to Her

(Camilla’s POV)Kalel and I stood in the 1950’s inspired kitchen, the scent of freshly prepared swordfish filling the air. Becky is humming a cheerful tune, while busying herself with the seasoning. It was literally the only thing that’s making sound in the kitchen right now apart from the radio that's playing on the side.I glanced at Kalel, remembering the conversation I had with Justin about Kalel’s strained relationship with his father.Looking at him, he doesn't really seem the type to hold that kind of dark past. He seemed very well put together. I mean, he can flirt?That doesn't make him timid."Kalel, do you mind if I ask you something?" I asked, trying to keep my tone casual.“You're already asking,” he sarcastically replied.My eyes formed a thin line. I can't really be serious around. He’s such a jerk.“I’m serious,” I said, trying my best not to stab his hand with the fork I’m holding in my hand.His lips curved into a sexy smirk.Kalel, slicing a lemon, didn't look up. "

Chapter 40 New Bodyguard?

(Camilla’s POV)[A week later]“We’re finally back to our real lives!” I chirped, stretching my arms as I prepare myself to leave Kalel’s expensive car.He calmly watched me from the driver’s seat, while I struggled to take my seatbelt off. I rolled my eyes when I realized how long this is taking me. “I’m not acting dumb just like those girls in the movies, so you could take this off of me, okay?” I said defensively.Kalel chuckled sexily, making me smile.“Oh, yeah?” he reacted.This gentleman is kind enough to bring me back to my apartment in one piece. He helped me with my luggages, which was very nice of him.I have to say that I became more comfortable with him after that semi-long vacation we had together.Am I falling for him? No fucking way.“I’ll be catching up with my company. You can always call me when you miss me, okay?” he teased, lingering at the door.I gave him a sarcastic smile.He really thinks I’m going to miss him? I’m so done with his overrated attractiveness.“S
