Elijah: I’m looking forward to it
Camere Even if the cooperation faits, I’ll still treat you to dinner |
Elijah sent a smile emoji. Elijalic (Cameron, what have you been up to these days!]
After the SAT. Elijah found himself suddenly at a loose end and wondered if Camion felt the same restlessness,
Cameron: Just lounging at home mostly. Ivisited the pharmaceutical company today!
She’d rested enough. Starting tomorrow, she’d go to the company on weekdays to help out-idle hands made for a wasted mind.
Elijah said: Cameron, since your company just started, do you need help? I can work for free
Cameron stared at the message, surprised. If Elijah wanted something to do, he could’ve gone to his family’s hospital. There was no need for him to work for her.
She wondered, ‘Does he want to experience the hardships of the real world outside
Cameron: If you’re interested, you’re more than welcome
Elijah: [Doal. I’ll schedule the meeting with my dad first and contact you afterward.]
Cameron: (Thanks.)
In Yarven, a blond teenager in a silver-gray English suit sat elegantly at a luxurious dining table laden with gourmet dishes. As he lunched, a row of servants stood behind him, awaiting his command. Vincent, also in a suit, waited quietly nearby.
Austin wore a faint smile, cutting a fragrant steak while his gaze leisurely scanned the opulent dining room. With his usual air of melancholy and delicate health, he looked like a royal prince exiled to obscurity, his sorrow born from unfulfilled potential
All of these lavish things were his now, and Austin still felt unreal. In truth, he’d never been weak-he’d just feigned vulnerability to avoid conflict with nuel.
This time, Vincent had told Austin that he’d inherited a fortune.
A distant relative of Austin’s mother, extremely wealthy, had perished in an accident, leaving Austin as the sole heir to their vast estate-the castle, hotels, restaurants, dozens of companies, bank accounts, and vaults of gold and jewels.
It had all happened so suddenly. Even aber days, Austin still felt like he was dreaming.
“Vincent.” Austin put down his fork and knife. The next second, a maid stepped forward to hand him a hot towel.
Austin wiped his hands, and the maid swiftly took the towel.
“Mr. Fraser,” Vincent said respectfully, stopping forward. Now, Austin was no longer a nominal heir-he was master here.
Austin smiled and asked, “How much longer must stay here?”
Vincent replied, “As long as you wish, sir.”
“So I could leave now if I wanted? No other obligations?” Austin asked.
Vincent said, “Your assets are managed by professional executives. You need not worry.”
Austin nodded. “Then stay a few more days.” He decided to return after the SAT scores came out.
-Cameron was about to rest when the received a text hom beste.
Austin (Cameren, guess where
Holding her phone, she realized they hadn’t spoken since the SAT
Cameron: Are you at Noble Vists? Did you go looking for me?)
It was past 11 PM. Surely Austin wouldn’t show up there without informing her.
Austin: (No.]
Cameron: Then where 7)
Austin: At my place.
Cameron: At Fraser Villa? it’s so late. Aren’t you going to bed?
Austin [Sorry, Cameron. I forgot about the 8-hour time difference. It’s almost midnight where you are.)
Cameron: Are you abroad?
Austin: [Yes]
Cameron: It’s good to travel after the SAT.]
She knew Austin’s situation in the Fraser family was tough.
Austin:Cameron, I’ll be away for a while. Let’s meet at the graduation ceremony.]
Austin planned to keep his secret for now, wanting to surprise her later.
Cameron: Okay. Have a good time.]
Austin: It’s late. Good night, Cameron.]
Cameron: [Alright. See you soon.
She put down her phone, turned off the light, and fell asleep.
While Cameron slept, someone else tossed and turned in bed, unable to drift off.
Xander irritably climbed out of bed and flopped back down, staring at the ornate crystal chandelier above. He took several deep breaths
It had been days-Cameron hadn’t sent a si
He wondered whether she was mad at him. He regretted being impulsive with the dress. Maybe it had made her uncomfortable
Xander was so regretful and blamed Tyrell endlessly, convinced his friend’s terrible idea had driven her away. Now, Tyrell wouldn’t even answer his calls.
He wished he’d never given her that dress. Now, Cameron ignored him, and he had no excuse to reach out.
In the dead of night, Xander buried his fage in his pillow and groaned, finally waking Logan and Gwen.
Gwen pulled him out from under the pi?ow “Ramiler, what’s wrong! Are you hurt?”
Xander pointed to his chest. “Here”
Owen panicked. “Logan, call the family doctort

Xander said, “Ne
He hadn’t even started dating yel. Cameren’s Indifference proved that it was Xander’s one sided loom for her
Logan and Gwen exchanged a look and were sure that Xander was hiding a romance,
Gwen said gently. “Kander, we know something’s going on. Talk to us, maybe we can help?
“Really?” Xander perked up.
Logan said, “We’ve been around the block more than you.”
Just thinking about Cameron’s rejection made Xander’s chest ache
Gwen said gently, “Tell us.”
Xander stared at the floor. “I like a girl. I took her to dinner and gave her a dress the other day. She refused it, so I threw it in the trash”
Logan and Gwen froze.
Gwen swatted Xander. “You have your father’s stubborn pride.”
Xander looked up. “What do you mean?”
Gwen said, “Your ego is too big. How can you chase someone like that?”
Logan interjected, “Girls don’t need “chasing”
Gwen shot him a look. “Not everyone was like
