Chapter 201


    The host, microphone in hand, stood on the ribbon-cutting stage.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, good morning! Today, we gather to witness an exciting


    moment. The grand opening of the Future gship store is an event we have all eagerly awaited!"


    A round of apuse and cheers erupted from the crowd.


    As the ribbon was cut, confetti cannons boomed, showering the air with colorful paper, and the


    atmosphere reached a climax.


    After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the host announced the official opening of the Future gship


    store.


    Suddenly,


    the LED screen diagonally opposite them, lit up with the name "Cam."


    Then, a message started scrolling across it, catching everyone''s eye.


    "I like you. Can you be my girlfriend? - Howard"


    This message scrolled repeatedly, and the entire square saw the deration on the big screen,


    causing a buzz of excitement.


    People nced around, searching for the ''lucky'' heroine of this high-profile love disy.


    "How romantic!"


    "Such a shy disy of romance!"


    A colleague grabbed Cam''s arm excitedly. "Cam, look!"


    Following her colleague''s gaze, Cam frowned deeply.


    Howard approached her slowly with a bouquet of flowers, a confident smile on his face.


    Connor also saw the scrolling message, his eyes darkening as he nced at Howard.


    His gaze was dark, like a bottomless cold pool, hiding turbulent emotions.


    Howard stopped in front of Cam, his eyes gleaming. "Do you like it?"


    Cam looked at Howard, her eyes emotionless, and she smiled slightly. "Mr. Howard, you are


    mistaken. I have a boyfriend."


    Howardughed loudly, presenting the flowers to Cam, his gaze steadfast, "I''ve checked, and it


    seems you''ve broken up."


    "I am her boyfriend." A male voice suddenly interrupted.


    The crowd quickly turned to see a man in casual clothes pushing through the crowd to stand beside


    Cam, facing Howard.


    Cam paused for a few seconds.


    Soon, she recovered, walked over to John''s side, and smiled. "Mr. Howard, this is my boyfriend,


    John."


    Howard''s face darkened, his brows furrowed, a sh of anger in his eyes.


    He stared at Cam, his tone hostile. "What do you mean?"


    Cam calmly met Howard''s gaze. "I already have a boyfriend. I hope you can respect my choice,


    Mr. Howard."


    Howard''s anger began to build. He red at Cam, his tone harsh. "You think I''ll believe that


    excuse?"


    Cam didn’t want to continue the confrontation with Howard. She turned to John, and after


    exchanging a nce, they walked away from the crowd together.


    Connor stood outside the crowd, his gaze fixed on the retreating figures of Cam and John.


    His hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white.


    n couldn''t help but whisper in surprise, "Is that really Cam''s boyfriend?"


    Connor gave him a dark look, impatiently tugging at his cor.


    n immediately mped his mouth shut, silently chiding himself.
