Chapter 87


    Lost in thought, Dous mulled over Bernard''s words. A supposed weakling capable of executing


    enemies in special ops? Vulnerable and isted within the Killian family?


    Wasn''t he the one who disregarded family ties and intentionally seized control of the family


    business to undermine the Killian family? Yet he said he was forced to go along with Chad''s


    demands?


    "Boss, it''s a real shame you''re not an actor!" Dous thought.


    As he got up, Dous noticed all eyes on him, including Tiramisu''s. What was with Bernard''s death


    stare?


    "I didn''t hear a thing. Carry on, you two," Dous quipped.

    Hera and Bernard were speechless.


    …


    At nightfall, on the top floor of the Luxent Hotel, Camille stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in a


    champagne-colored feathered gown. She gazed out at the city''s night view.


    Behind her, a setup of flowers, fine wine, candlelight, and sses awaited.


    "Camille, congrattions! You finally get to go on a date with your dream guy," Amelia said, handing


    her a ss of champagne.


    "Amy, quit teasing me." Camille smiled gracefully, taking the champagne and clinking sses.


    After they finished their champagne, Amelia handed Camille a card. "Make the most of this date,


    and here''s to bing Mrs. Killian soon."


    Camille nced at the card, realizing it was a room key card. She yfully protested, "Amy!"


    "My dear, you can''t hold back when you want a man. You''ve waited for him for six years. Do you


    want to wait another six? Seize this opportunity." Amelia helped adjust Camille''s hair, revealing her


    cleavage.


    Camille hesitated for a moment but epted the card in the end.


    Camille had been deeply in love with Bernard ever since sheid eyes on him on a cruise ship six


    years ago.


    It took her a long time to discover that he was Bernard from the Killian family, but he had always


    been in the army. By the time Bernard was discharged, she had already gone abroad for further


    studies, and the two lost touch.


    Six years of waiting had led to this moment. Of course, she had to make the most of it. But her


    upbringing taught her to be reserved and maintain the family''s dignity.


    "Okay, it''s about time. I''ll leave you to it. Good luck on your date." Amelia checked the time and left.


    Camille felt hesitant looking at the room key card in her hand. But what outweighed her hesitation


    was the excitement bubbling up from within.


    She kept the room key card and went to touch up her makeup in the bathroom.


    Just then, a waiter came and said, "Mr. Killian has arrived and is on his way up."


    "Okay, thank you." Camille tipped the waiter before letting him leave. She then took the emergency


    exit, descended a level, and took the elevator back up.


    The doors to two elevators opened one after the other.


    The elevator on Camille''s side was slightlyte, and she happened to see Bernard stepping out of


    the adjacent elevator.


    "Mr. Kilian, what a coincidence. I''ve just arrived too." Camille stepped out of the elevator with an


    elegant smile.


    Bernard paused, eyeing her like a stranger.


    "I''m Camille Chime, introduced by Mr. Chad. Please, call me Camille." She extended her hand


    elegantly.


    "Ms. Chime, hello." Bernard politely shook her hand. His formality made Camille feel awkward.


    "Are you here for a blind date or an interview?" At that moment, a cold female voice chimed in.


    A woman in a ck-knitted dress emerged from the elevator behind Bernard. She had delicate


    features, a beautiful face, and a chilly demeanor. Dous followed behind her.


    When did Bernard have a woman by his side?
