“I'm certain you did more than just ladies’ business there. You talk, I talk, fair game.” Abraham said, watching her carefully.Sheila sat still almost holding her breath as she tried to match up Abraham's look but she ended up being the one to look away first, no surprise there actually. She snorted, eyeing him. Abraham does not seem like someone who knew anything about fair games or anything related to it, and she wondered if she should trust him. But then that would be playing into his game. “Well, what do you say, my dear?” Abraham said politely but Sheila caught a hint of impatience behind his attempt for a sweet voice. Sheila sighed with resignation, there was no need holding back anymore, was there? She was already sucked into this and the only choice she had now was to keep on trusting the one thing they had in common which was their brewing hatred for Keith Thompson.“Fine, I ran into some woman's trouble in the restroom, but I would not have done that if not because they p
Keith's attention was moved from the file in front of him when he heard a loud squeak. He relaxed a little when he realized that he recognized the voice.“Keith,” Camila squeaked, rushing into Keith's office with a wide smile and an excited look which took Keith's attention off his work completely.“Camila,” he greeted, eyeing her suspiciously. “Please don't tell me you have not gone to the bank yet.”Camila's smile weaned a bit and her eyes widened a fraction more. “Oh shit, I forgot that.”Keith scowled then shook his head with a deep sigh.“Do not shake your head at me and don't you dare sigh too, I already tried throughout yesterday. I need a vacation,” she whined as she slumped onto a seat. “Are you hearing yourself? This is finally the climax of the business we want and now you want a vacation?” Keith said, shaking his head with disappointment.Camila eyed him and there was a moment of silence before she opened her mouth to speak again, “So does that mean I'm not going to be gr
“Are you going to start talking already? You are keeping me waiting, you know.”Keith heaved a sigh, there was really no escaping this.Camila pinned Keith down with narrowed eyes. There has been something bothering Keith for a while now, and she has tried the easy to try to get out of him but he was so insistent on keeping whatever was bothering him to himself, which has been getting her pissed for a long time now but she could not bit down on her tongue much longer and so she lashed out. The time she began angry about his silence was the day of the auction, and while everyone was supposed to be celebrating their victory that had been what she had been expecting from Keith too, he did make the best impression and made the most sales, even got so much recognition afterwards. At first, Keith had been acting right like he was supposed to but then halfway through the party his mood had suddenly changed and it was obvious that he had something that was weighing his mind down during the ev
Camila shook her head, laughing at herself. Keith immediately joined in on her laughter, scanning her face with an incredulous expression.“Seriously, Camila. It would have taken more than a jewelry set to get me bankrupt, you can be rest assured,” Keith said between his laughter.Camila scoffed, “I do not care about your money, I have more than enough to take care of both of us until we are both old and wrinkled.”Keith caressed the back of her hand with his thumb, a smile spreading over his face. “Old and wrinkled huh?” He wiggled his brows mockingly at her although his eyes shone with content. “I believe I have an idea what your dreams of me involve.”Camila blinked, “And what is that?” “Marriage obviously, first you discussed honeymoon and now you mentioned old and wrinkled, I'm sure your dream is filled with wedding bells and white gowns,” Keith said, taking her hand to his mouth so he could kiss it. Camila raised a brow at him and looked nothing like someone who was going to m

Camila frowned as she stared down at get now blackened phone screen, her brows knitted together in confusion and unsure of what to think of the situation on the ground. At first, she had thought it was a mistake but now it was certain that someone was trying to scare her. This had stated the day she was allegedly been angry with Keith which happened to be yesterday, but then someone_ an anonymous, unregistered number has been calling her at random times and sometimes even at auspicious times, like this time for instance. It was barely six in the morning and it had been the call that had interrupted her deep slumber. The annoying part was that the idiot would call and although using different numbers just for her to pick up give radio silence at the other end until she got frustrated and hung up. But that does not stop this idiot from calling again. Today was the most unbearable, she had finally been able to get some sleep after her whole argument with Keith all thanks to their resolvi
“How about the bodyguards? Haven't you seen any of them?” Keith quizzed despite the more rustling sound.“I am not sure I have seen any of them this morning, I wasn't exactly mindful of them,” she replied.“Good, hang on, and tell your driver to drive safe, I'm on my way, and relax please, everything will be fine.” will be fine.”Camila blinked as the phone beeped signifying that Keith had hung up. The person who was imploring her to relax was the one who was truly panicking, more than her, but she tried to understand his reason for panic and her mind flashed back to the revelation Keith had given when he had told her about what Sheila had said to him and the possibility of the deranged ex conniving with Abraham Connor. The way Abraham Connor's eyes fixed on hers that day of the auction flashed into her mind, she could remember vividly his cold and calculating deep brown eyes that refused to leave her face and how it was so reluctant to leave her face on that day. Maybe the reason for
Once Camila was sure that Keith was now calmer she sighed and spoke up again. “Good, because I have something else to talk about, regarding the call I made this morning.”Keith paused his movement to turn to face Camila with his brow raised in question, “What about the call? It was your tech guy you called, or was it not?” “It was, but it is the reason why I had called him this morning that I want to discuss with you actually,” Camila said, looking around the lobby. “We should sit,” she suggested.Keith's eyes widened and he visibly gulped, “Is it that serious that I cannot stand to receive?” “No, it's just the heels I chose to wear today, they are killing my feet,” Camila groaned out and without waiting for his reply she let go of his hand and began heading for the lobby seat reassured that Keith would come after her.“Seat fast and tell me what happened, all this suspense is driving me almost mad,” Keith said, dropping his weight onto the couch nearest to him.“For some days now,
