    “Dakota, now that the contract has been signed, do you feel a little


    more rxed?” Cameron asked with a smile as they walked toward


    thepany’s parking lot.


    “Yeah.”


    Dakota nodded slightly, but her facecked the expected joy and instead appeared somewhat downcast.


    “Are you still thinking about what happened earlier?” Cameron


    inquired.


    “Yeah,” Dakota said as she nodded again, her tone filled with guilt.


    “| didn’t expect to see Maddy here. She misunderstood me, but | didn’t


    get a chance to exin. And now it has ended up affecting you as well. I’m really sorry.” She continued, “When | get backter,


    Fil exin


    everything to her clearly.”


    “Do you think she''ll listen?” Cameron said coldly as he shook his


    head. “Have you forgotten how she spoke to you earlier?”N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Cameron knew Madison well. She was not only selfish but also very


    self-centered. Once she had made up her mind about something, she


    wouldn''t listen to exnations from anyone else. Dakota’s attempt to


    reach out to her might just lead to more frustration.


    “Regardless, I''ll give it a try.”


    Dakota let out a sigh. She didn’t want this incident to cause a rift in


    the rtionship between her and Madison, and she certainly didn’t


    want Cameron to suffer because of it.


    Seeing Dakota’s concern over her rtionship with Madison,


    Cameron nodded his head and encouraged her. “If this rtionship is


    really important to you, then you can try to exin things to her. No


    matter what the oue is, Ill stand by your side.”


    His words made Dakota suddenlye to a halt.


    “What''s wrong, Dakota?”


    Cameron also stopped walking and turned to look at Dakota.


    “It''s nothing,” Dakota said, shaking her head. She looked up at


    Cameron, gazing into his deep and starry eyes.


    “Thank you, Cameron!” she said sincerely.


    “There’s no need to be so polite to me,” Cameron said, smiling. Then,


    he waved his hand and continued, “Let''s head back.”


    However, Dakota suddenly thought of something and asked, ”


    Cameron, will Lord ckhearte back after he leaves Yra ?”


    “Do you need his help with something?” Cameron replied, looki


    Dakota.


    “No, | was just asking. I’m worried that Archie will seek revenge


    you...” Dakota said, her gaze flickering slightly.


    Cameron noticed her concern and smiled gently.


    “Don’t worry, someone like Archie can’t do anything to me. Besides,


    Lord ckheart will only be away for a few days. He’s going to take


    care of some important matters for some big shot. He should be


    back soon.”


    “That’s good.” Dakota let out a sigh of relief and continued, “I hope | can clear up the misunderstanding with Maddy soon. Then,


    maybe


    the misunderstanding between you and her can also be resolved.”


    “It''s definitely possible,” Cameron encouraged her.


    Dakota let out a hum of agreement as she nodded firmly.


    Later that evening, after Dakota returned home, she took out her


    phone and sent a message to Madison.


    “Maddy, are you still angry? What happened today was really a


    misunderstanding. | didn’t know that you and Archie were also


    interested in that project. My family isn’t in a great situation right


    now, and | really needed that contract.”


    She continued, “Also, my rtionship with Cameron isn’t what you think. We''re just ordinary friends. Please don’t hate him


    anymore.”


    After she sent the message, Madison quickly replied. Dakota took a deep breath and opened the reply nervously.


    “Dakota, | believe you. | also want to apologize to you for what


    happened this afternoon. | was too emotional at the time and said


    some hurtful things. | hope you won''t take them to heart.”


    Seeing Madison’s reply, Dakota let out a sigh of relief.


    “Thank you, Maddy. Thank you for believing in me, and thank you for understanding me!” Dakota replied happily.


    “There’s no need to thank me. We''re best friends, after all!”


    Madison continued, “By the way, my birthday is the day after


    tomorrow. | n to hold a party at Star Sea Karaoke. You have to be


    there!”


    As Dakota typed those words, she sneered in her heart.


    Dakota, oh Dakota, how should | put it? Should | say that you are


    naive or that you are stupid? You stole my Archie’s project and got involved with my ex-husband. Do you really think that you can


    just say


    it was a misunderstanding and wipe the te clean?
