Chapter 164


    He watched Cam and shed a smile, "No worries, your scream just startled me a bit."


    With a sheepish grin, Cam replied, "Sorry, I was just so scared."


    Connor waved it off, "It''s okay. Let''s hurry up and get out of here before those locusts decide to


    come back." He made a conscious effort to keep his tone calm and natural.


    Cam nodded.

    Connor turned and started walking back to the hotel, with Cam following him. She nced around


    nervously, dreading the return of the locusts.


    Ding—


    The hotel elevator doors opened on Cam''s floor. Hesitating a moment, she spoke up, "Mr.


    Connor, should I iron your shirt?"


    "No need, you go and rest," Connor said.


    "Goodnight, Mr.Connor," Cam said as she handed him back his suit jacket.


    Taking the jacket, Connor looked into Cam''s eyes and gently responded, "Goodnight."


    The elevator doors slowly closed, separating them.


    Back in her room, Cam took out the treasures she had collected that day and admired them once


    again.


    Suddenly, she got a call from ire.


    "Marc came to the shop today," ire said over the phone.


    "I heard he closed down many of his shops, his wife divorced him, took the money, and fled abroad,


    and Scott got detained for drunk driving." A smirk of disdain crossed ire’s face, "Broke and


    desperate, hees crying and begging to recognize you again."


    "Mom, please don''t go soft on him." Cam couldn''t help but caution.


    "Don''t worry. I won''t," ire chuckled.


    "He didn''t make a scene, did he?" Cam still felt a bit anxious.


    "Cole drove him away. It seems he won''t dare toe back," ire said lightly.


    "Cole really takes good care of you," Cam remarked.


    Cam decided to have a serious talk with her mom. She hoped to help her mom resolve her


    emotional barriers, to bravely face her feelings, and to encourage her to find happiness with Cole.


    "Mom, I know you have feelings for Cole, and if you like him, you two should be together."


    Surprised, ire responded, "What are you talking about?"


    "I''m not making this up," Cam firmly said, "I can see how you feel about Cole. And he’s a good


    man. He will treat you well."


    Cam continued, "Seeing you with Cole would make me very happy. I just want you to have a


    happy life."


    There was a pause on the other end of the line. ire sighed, "Alright, I''ll handle it."


    After hanging up, Cam stared out at the sparkling stars, her heart filled withplex emotions.


    She sincerely hoped her mother would pursue her own happiness.


    Should she also be brave and take a step towards Connor?


    In the Presidential Suite, Connor stared at his phone screen, his emotions tangled. He put down his


    phone, lit a cigarette, and sank into deep thought.


    The phone screen was still lit.


    [Connor, saw you trending today, you''re more famous than me now, a real celebrity *LOL*]


    [I''m back in the country. Mypany is throwing a wee party for me on the 10th next month.


    Invitation was sent to your office. Hope to see you there.]
