Chapter 43 Are We Friends Now?
Cam took off her coat andid it on the chair. “He’s at school.” Brian replied, “Oh. Was he alright that
day?” Cam took a deep breath. “Not too bad. I thought he was fine until I found out about his bruised
knee after getting home. Some parts were even bleeding. I have no idea what caused the injuries.”
Looking slightly heavy-hearted, Brian asked, “Is that woman your younger sister from a different
mother?”
“Yes,” Cam responded rather reluctantly. No longer wanting to talk about that, Cam intentionally
changed the topic. “How’s your health?” Brian sounded rather perfunctory as well when he said, “It’s
alright.” After that, Cam turned around, took out a metal box from her handbag, and gave it to Brian.
“This is for you.”
This somewhat baffled Brian. “What’s this?”
“These are candies. You should bring some of them with you next time and take one every time you feel
unwell. It has different kinds of vors and this is one of my favorite brands. It reminds me of my
childhood.”
Brian was pleasantly surprised and then naturally let out a smile. “Thanks.”
Cam responded, “Don’t be a stranger. This is nothingpared to this expensive meal that you’re
buying me.” Brian smiled, looking like a graceful gentleman. “I guess my life is still worth something, isn’t
it? How can one meal be sufficient to pay you back for saving my life?”
“It doesn’t work that way. It doesn’t matter how expensive a meal is or how many times you buy me one;
it’s about how you were willing to help me out when I needed it the most. I’ll forever remember your help.
I guess that makes us even.” Brian chuckled andmented, “It sounds like you’re breaking up with
me.” Cam guffawed. “That’s not what I meant. What I’m saying is we don’t have to be so formal with
each other.” Looking at her, Brian appeared to look somewhat shy. “If you don’t let me use this excuse
again, how am I going to ask you out for a meal next time?” This caught Cam off guard. She smiled
and then said, “Why do we need an excuse to have a meal together? We can do this anytime.” Brian
was a little shocked to hear that. “Really? So we’re friends?” Cam nodded and agreed, “Of course. I
saw your restaurant’s sign on the inte the
other day. Personally, I feel that it looks heart-warming and generous.” Smiling, Brian replied, “I don’t
want to have customers like them.” Cam asked, “Will being so picky bring you any problems?” Brian
looked startled. “Problems? It’s my restaurant, so it’s my call.” At this juncture, the server showed up. “I’m
sorry to interrupt, but your food is ready.” Cam quickly put the things on the table away while Brian still
held on to the candy box and asked, “Have you had any of these before?” “Yes. All the time back in the
days.” “You like candies?”
Cam agreed, “Not too bad. I’d have one of them whenever I was in a bad mood. Something sweet can
really brighten your day. Try it. It’s pretty effective. I like the green ones the most-they’re apple-vored.”
Brian opened the candy box and picked up a green candy. “You’re making me want to try it.” Cam
laughed heartily. “Look at you. Let’s eat first.” Brian followed suit andughed. “I’ll save it forter then.”
Cam nodded as if she sensed something, and her gaze inadvertently fell on a couple not far away
from them. The guy there was huge and looked stony-faced whereas thedy was tall and looked
somewhat arrogant. Right now, they were looking in their direction. Cam frowned. Isn’t that Ss and
thedy with the doctorate in medicine? Her name is… Penny.
Then, Cam smiled and greeted them. “What a coincidence!” Ss had a smile on his face and
responded, “You’re right. Penny said she wanted to eat their steak, and she’s making me pay for her.”
Penny frowned and grumbled rather flirtatiously, “Ss, what do you mean by that? You promised me
before.” Ss remained silent. Meanwhile, Cam smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. If she
was the one buying the meal today, she would probably have invited them to join Brian and her.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
