Chapter 25


    Cam ended the call and turned to Debora. “I’m sorry, something urgent came up. | need to go. Let me offer you a toast with


    this ss of water. | wish you all the best.” She held up her ss of water toward Debora and drank it.


    Isaac watched Cam gather her purse with a meaningful smirk. He waited for her to stand up and said, “What a coincidence! |


    have something to take care of as well. Why don’t we leave together?”


    Cam paused, her eyes growing wide as saucers.


    For some unknown reason, Isaac was irked that Cam was pretending not to know him.


    He was eager to see how long she could keep up the act.


    As expected, all eyes turned to Cam.


    They were wearing simr expressions of surprise and confusion. What a coincidence, indeed.


    Something urgent had juste up for the both of them at the same time?


    This time, Debora felt a prickle of unease. She was able to brush aside Isaac’sment earlier, but what about now?


    She studied Isaac and Cam closely, trying to spot any tiny detail that might clue her in on what was between them.


    “Is something wrong, Cam?” Debora asked.


    Cam was sorely tempted to tell Debora that she was actually Isaac’s wife. She would like to see how the man would exin


    himself then.


    But the truth of the matter was that she didn’t dare. She couldn''t afford to provoke the man.


    She had already lost the chance to intern at the Military Central Hospital; she couldn’t risk losing anything else, especially her


    job.


    Cam mustered an awkward smile and decided not to mention the so-called coincidence she shared with Isaac.


    “My grandfather wants me toe over. It looks Like something happened at home. I’m sorry, but | should really go.”


    Cam was hoping that they would leave things at that, but Isaac seemed hell-bent on making things difficult for her.


    “Well, how about that?” he eximed. “My grandfather also asked me toe home. Where does your grandfather live? Let me


    drop you off.”


    The smile on Cam’s face almost dropped. If she had been any less disciplined, she would have already smashed her ss on


    Isaac’s stupid face!


    “Please stop joking, Mr. Johnston. I’m sure we''re not headed in the same direction. | don’t want to trouble you. I''ll be going now.


    Enjoy yourselves, everyone.” Cam turned on her heel and hightailed it out of the venue.


    Debora watched her go with a frown before turning to Isaac.


    “Do you know Cam?” she asked pointedly.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    He had reverted to his usual aloof self, as if the one who had joked and teased Cam just now was a different person entirely. “I


    don’t know her,” Isaac bit out in a cold voice.


    Then he abruptly stood up, his chair scraping noisily against the floor.


    Debora allowed herself a sigh of relief. She had invited Isaac tonight for the sole purpose of showing off to her co-workers.
