Filed to story: That Campus Prince Is a Girl
With her height, the coat looked absolutely amazing on her.
While standing, her hands were casually tucked into her pockets.
She was exactly the kind of girl people on the internet called gorgeous and badass.
Bradley looked at Cameron, and he really did feel like he’d seen her somewhere before.
Cameron stayed silent and even shot him a disdainful look.
Bradley hurriedly explained, “Miss, I’m seriously not trying to flirt or anything. I just really feel like we’ve met before
“Cameron Yates! Oh my god, it really is you! Can I get your autograph?” a girl suddenly recognized Cameron, her voice full of excitement.
Cameron shook her head. “Sorry, you’ve got the wrong person.”
She wasn’t a celebrity, so there was no reason for her to sign anything.
“Oh… Okay,” the girl mumbled, looking disappointed as she walked away.
Only then did Bradley realize who she was.
He must’ve seen Cameron on TV last night.
Thinking of this, Bradley offered a polite apology. “I’m sorry.”
With that, he didn’t stick around and headed straight into the elevator.
Cameron turned around, watching the elevator doors slowly close.
“What is Bradley up to now?” she thought, frowning in confusion.
Seven years ago, after she rejected him, he’d gone so far as to lock her away in that castle.
And now, he was acting like he didn’t even recognize her.
Cameron couldn’t help but sneer.
Later, she took a stroll around the hotel.
But out of nowhere, she just lost all interest in exploring.
So, Cameron headed straight back to her room.
Running into Cameron was just a random encounter for Bradley. Aside from that inexplicable jolt in his chest, he didn’t dwell on it at all.
Right now, all his attention was locked on work.
Before going to sleep, he pulled out his laptop and started reviewing the files for tomorrow afternoon’s court case.
There was a sudden sizzle, and the lights in the room went out all at once.
Bradley frowned, closed his laptop, and was about to call the front desk to see what was up.
Suddenly, the fire alarm blared to life, shrill and urgent.
Bradley sprang into action.
He packed up his laptop in a flash, grabbed his suit jacket and pulled it on, snatched up his phone, then rushed into the bathroom to soak a towel and press it over his mouth. Without a moment’s hesitation, he dashed out of the room.
The alarms outside were blaring, piercing everyone’s ears.
The guests, thrown into a panic by the sudden fire alarm, rushed for the exits in a frenzy.
“Don’t use the elevator! You can’t take the elevator during a fire!” someone shouted.
All at once, everyone started heading for the stairwell.
Bradley kept his cool; he wasn’t freaking out like everyone else, but he didn’t waste a second getting out of there.
“Hello? Is anyone out there? Can anyone hear me?”
As he passed by the elevator, Bradley suddenly heard someone calling for help from inside.
He couldn’t help but frown.
Apparently, someone was trapped in the elevator.
But because of the fire, the elevator had already stopped working.
Without hesitating, Bradley set his things down and called out, “Is anyone in there? Don’t move. Just wait for me, okay?”
He braced himself and forced the elevator doors open with all his strength.
“Get out of there!” Bradley called out before he even saw who was inside.
Cameron didn’t expect to see Bradley.
She just stood there, frozen.
“Quick, get out.” Seeing her frozen in place, Bradley didn’t hesitate. He went in and yanked her out of the elevator.
Once they were out, Bradley let go of her. Only then did he realize it was Cameron he’d just pulled out. “Miss Yates, there’s a fire. We need to take the stairs. Be careful,” he said.
With that, he bent down to pick up his things. But then, he noticed that Cameron hadn’t brought anything with her.
Bradley handed her the wet towel. “If you don’t mind, use this to cover your mouth. IIII help keep the smoke out.
Cameron frowned at Bradley, not taking the towel he handed her.
She had just come back from a walk outside the hotel.
However, the elevator suddenly stopped working halfway up.
Not knowing what was going on, Cameron knocked on the door and called out hesitantly.
To her surprise, someone answered right away.
Seconds later, the elevator doors were pried open.
However, she hadn’t expected it to be Bradley.
He was dressed in a suit, his handsome face taut with effort, but even then, his profile was strikingly attractive.
While Cameron was still in a daze, she felt a sudden tug on her wrist, and Bradley pulled her straight out of the elevator.
It wasn’t until he handed her the towel that Cameron snapped back to reality.
Cameron asked flatly, “Bradley, what is this all about?”
Bradley looked genuinely surprised. “You know me, Miss Yates?”
Cameron sneered. “Your acting is pretty impressive. You could win an award this year.”
Bradley looked at her, confused.
“Acting? Does she think I’m an actor?’ he wondered.
Bradley frowned. “Miss Yates, I think you’re mistaken. I’m a lawyer. My brother, Reginald Saunders, is an actor. It’s dangerous right now, not the time for small talk. Let’s get downstairs, fast.”
With that, Bradley hurried toward the stairwell.
Then, he held the fire door open.
Cameron quickly followed him.
The hotel was a popular choice among the tourists, so it was packed with guests.
At this hour, most people were getting ready for bed.
But now, everyone was scrambling downstairs.
Some people were still in their regular clothes.
Others had just thrown on pajamas or even wrapped themselves in bedsheets.
Everything was a mess.
Bradley was on the 16th floor, and it took him quite a few minutes to race down all those flights of stairs.
