“Phew, we’re finally out.” Tara breathed a sigh of relief as they stepped outside the hotel.
The memory of Cameron whispering in her ear still touched her heart.
Cameron noticed Tara’s cheeks were slightly flushed, thinking the crowd inside might have overwhelmed her. He chuckled lightly, “Dr. Smith, let’s get in the car and head back.”
Tara hesitated. Suddenly, she felt she wasn’t ready to part ways with Cameron. “Cameron… I’m feeling a bit warm here. How about we walk a bit?” she proposed, quickly adding, “The Global Plaza isn’t far from here. Of course, if you’re busy…”
“Let’s take a walk,” Cameron agreed with a gentle smile, showing no signs of refusal.
He had nothing urgent to attend to anyway.
“Great!” Tara’s eyes sparkled with delight.
“Let’s go,” Cameron said, and they started walking side by side.
“Cameron, did you arrange for Mr. Graham to come?” Tara asked curiously as they walked.
“No, I didn’t even know he was going to show up,” Cameron shook his head.
“Then it must have been just him trying to please you,” Tara murmured as she knew Cameron was now an important client at Andura Bank.
“Still, it ended up being quite satisfying,” Tara clenched her fist with a grin, remembering how Misty and Hayley had looked mortified after they mocked her for her choice of men.
“It seems I passed as your fake boyfriend today,” Cameron observed Tara’s spirited demeanor and smiled.
“Barely,” Tara teased, playfully swatting the air as if to keep his ego in check.
“Then I guess my mission is accomplished,” Cameron said with a light smile.
“Well, not quite,” Tara suddenly interjected with a flicker in her eyes.
“Not quite?” Cameron looked puzzled.
