If Rachelle made trouble for her again, she’d explain it clearly. She didn’t want to be a scapegoat anymore. Rachelle could make enemies with many other women than her in terms of competition for love. She refused to be the victim.
She changed into her work suit and cleaned her face with cold water. She’d made full preparations to confront Rachelle. She took two bowls of noodles as she walked toward the private beach
She stepped on the fine sand as the cool wind brushed past her fice.
There were two delicate round tables in the center of the beach
She put the noodles on the table and marveled at the life of the ch
She didn’t see a soul there. She plucked out a small notebook and a pen from her pocket. She left a note under the meal box and turned to leave,
Her toes had yet to heal. They were secured in white bandages. Her toes tingled when she walked on the sand. Before long. she heard footsteps behind her.
She stopped dead in her tracks and was a little scared.
As the sound got closer and closer, she strode forward in fear. Her steps were somewhat hurried.
“Stay there. Don’t move.” She heard a sharp voice coming from behind.
She only heard a buzzing sound in her head. It was much more unbearable than a heat stroke. It was a splitting headache.
She pretended not to hear anything. She walked on. Her heart was pounding, and her face was burning. As she walked on the sand, her toes hurt very badly.
“I told you don’t move,” the man said in a deep voice.
Camille told herself he was not calling her. She told herself she didn’t hear anything
As she walked on, she suddenly started running
The man behind her was clearly faster. When she was about to run, his strong arms grabbed her hands and pulled her backward forcefully.
He grabbed her one hand in the air. She weakly flung her head upward and saw his cold face. She reached out to hit him, but he seized her other hand tightly.
Because they were standing very close, they could feel each other’s breath.
She dared not to breathe. She only gazed numbly at him, not knowing what to do as both her hands were controlled by him. His palm was big and thick and very warm
He looked down at her and asked, “Why are you running away from me? It’s not like I’m gonna eat you alive. Tell me. Do you have a boyfriend? Is it true?”
She felt her wrist was going to shatter when he pinched it. She saw greedy flames flashing in his eyes.
He was probably interested in her, but nobody knew how long his passion would last.
If she were another woman, she’d have the impulse to go out with a man like him. After all, she didn’t want to lock herself in the prison of her heart.

But she was not a brillimt girl. She still had a five–year–old son. That was not all. She didn’t receive higher education. She was once in prison. There was little she could ask for.
“Are you crazy?” Camille looked at his prominent features. She knew she didn’t want him.
He still clutched her hand tightly, watching her slender body sway before his eyes and her hair lifting in the sea breeze. Her white neck looked beautiful. His Adam’s apple rolled, and his voice was husky. “Yes, I’m crazy. I want you like crazy
She lifted her head.
“I want you.” He tightened his grip on her wrist and pulled her in forbidding her to take small, silent steps backward.
She stepped back, and he stepped forward. Are you that afraid of me?”
“Not” she shouted struggling hard.
Luke no longer allowed her to struggle, pulling her into his arms and feeling her slim body in his arms as he fervently embraced her. His lips kissed her hair, forehead, checks, lips….
Over and over again, he seemed to have an intense desire for her
There was no gap between their lips, and the four soft lips were intertwined.
Sensing that she did not struggle, he embraced her stiff body and deepened the kiss, drying the sweet, fresh scent on her lips.
She pushed him away.
Luke felt a hollow in his arms.
He took one step forward, and she took two steps back, “Yes, I have a boyfriend, and I love my boyfriend very much.”
“Who is that child?” he whispered.
He thought if the man was her boyfriend, that would be quite usual. But the child…
Hearing the child mentioned, she suddenly remembered Allen.
What should she say? If she said at this moment that it was her son, he would probably give up.
But she couldn’t. When she was recruited to join the company, Estelle had instructed her that it was being written in the employee handbook that the basic staff had to be unmarried and couldn’t say they had children. Otherwise, she would get dismissed.
“It’s my friend’s baby.” She turned and ran away, not wanting to say for a moment.
He looked at her back as she ran away. There was nothing he wanted that he couldn’t get. He just had never wanted to get a woman. He thought he was at the age where he should be interested in women.
The phone at the table rang. He picked it up. “What is it?”
In the ballroom, Helen looked around. Many guests had arrived, Luke, where are you? Have you forgotten what an important day it is today? Mom took the liberty of asking Rachelle to be your date to accompany you to the party. You don’t mind, do you?
“Whatever.” He hung up.
When Rachelle pushed open the restaurant door, Camille was cleaning the floor. She saw a nice pair of high heels stepping on the mop. She looked up and saw Rachelle staring arrogantly at her.

Kim and Jenna got changed. „Rachelle said, “If it’s okay, why don’t you guys go pick out your dresses with me? It’s always nice to have someone else to help pick them out. All the bags you’re carrying seem to be cheap. I’m in a good mood today. I can give you each a designer bag”
“Really?” Jenna jumped up and down with excitement
“Of course, when have I ever not kept my word?” Rachelle was pleased and said to Camille as she turned around, “You’re going too. It’s an order, and it’s your work as well.
Camille looked at Rachelle, who walked out speechlessly. “How arrogant!”
They exited the restaurant only to see Rachelle sitting in Lake’s
Camille looked away and gave a self–deprecating smile, unable to tell what she was feeling in her heart.
