Chapter 303<\/p>\n
Nolan kept a neutral face as he followed the invitation and stepped inside.<\/p>\n
Torin walked in right behind him.<\/p>\n
As soon as they sat down at the dining table, Camellia turned to Torin and asked, \u201cAnd who are you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Torin said, \u201cI\u2019m Mr. Graves\u2019s assistant. There are no secrets I dont know, so I need to stay here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Camellia\u2019s irritation bubbled under her calm exterior. \u201cMr. Graves, is that true?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nolan nodded. \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Camellia pressed her lips together, pretending to be gracious. \u201cAlright, let\u2019s all sit and enjoy a meal.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSure.\u201d Without hesitation, Torin pulled out a chair and sat down<\/p>\n
An awkward tension filled the air, leaving Camellia unsure of what to do.<\/p>\n
This was her first meeting like this; in her company, assistants didn\u2019t join her for meals.<\/p>\n
Torin had taken it upon himself to sit, and Nolan seemed unfazed, acting like it was completely normal.<\/p>\n
Holding back her feelings, she suggested, \u201cMr. Graves, should we order now?\u201d<\/p>\n
As she started to stand, Nolan gently pulled her back down by her arm.<\/p>\n
The simple touch sent a thrill through Camellia; it had been years since she had shared such close contact with any man.<\/p>\n
Countless scenarios played out in her mind like scenes from a dramatic movie.<\/p>\n
But to Nolan, it was just a normal gesture.<\/p>\n
Not paying attention to Camellia\u2019s inner thoughts, he said, \u201cMs. Hawkins, we don\u2019t need to eat. Let\u2019s talk business instead.\u201d Camellia nodded, trying to seem agreeable. \u201cOh, alright! Orlinth Innovations is very interested in working with Umberdon Enterprises.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nolan said, \u201cI assume Orlinth Innovations shorted GlobalVision Group recently? Is your goal to take it over?\u201d<\/p>\n
Camellia wasn\u2019t surprised by his question; after all, Umberdon Enterprises could easily look into it. \u201cTo be honest, Mr. Graves, that is true.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nolan thought for a moment. \u201cIn that case, I\u2019ll be straightforward: if you succeed in taking over Orlinth Innovations, I would like to buy the GlobalVision Group office building from you, and the price will be up to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
This caught Camellia off guard. \u201cOh? You want to buy the office building. May I ask why?\u201d<\/p>\n
She remembered that Nolan had studied architectural design in Manesia, so he must simply appreciate the building\u2019s style.<\/p>\n
Nolan was clear about his intentions. \u201cI want the building because of its designer; I can\u2019t let her work end up with just anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
At that moment, it clicked for Camellia; the designer of the GlobalVision Group office was Duskson, who was indeed Cherise.<\/p>\n
Realizing this, she clenched her hands tightly by her sides, the fabric of her dress gripping her fingers. So, you admire this<\/p>\n
designer?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nolan looked up, ready to respond.<\/p>\n
But Torin interrupted, \u201cNolan, I have a terrible stomachache! I really need to go home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Torin\u2019s sudden interruption broke Nolan\u2019s train of thought. \u201cOh If you\u2019re not feeling well, then let\u2019s head back. Ms. Hawkins, please think this through.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, he stood up and addressed Torin, \u201cCan you walk by yourself, or do I need to call for an ambulance?*<\/p>\n
Torin jumped up. \u201cI\u2019ll be fine; it just comes in waves. Let\u2019s hurry<\/p>\n
He moved to stand protectively next to Nolan as they prepared to leave the private room.<\/p>\n
Camellia felt like she was being played with, and she fought the urge to let her emotions show.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Graves, I need to say one more thing!\u201d As Nolan was about to step through the door, she called out.<\/p>\n
Both Nolan and Torin stopped, and Nolan asked, \u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope you remember that you are engaged to the Hawkins family!\u201d Camellia\u2019s tone was fierce.<\/p>\n
As soon as she said this, Torin pulled Nolan away, and they quickly left the room.<\/p>\n
Just as the door closed behind them, Camellia flipped over the wine and flowers on the table, creating a mess. \u201cCherise! You are always around me, and I won\u2019t hesitate to be ruthless.\u201d<\/p>\n
She stared ahead, fierce and unyielding.<\/p>\n
Torin shielded Nolan as they made their way to the car.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, Torin, didn\u2019t you say you had a stomachache? Why aren\u2019t you going to the restroom? Why rush me to the car?\u201d Nolan asked, noticing Torin\u2019s urgency.<\/p>\n
Torin glanced back at him. \u201cI can\u2019t stand that Camellia. There\u2019s something eerie about her that scares me. I just couldn\u2019t y there any longer, so I had to get you out!<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s strange since she\u2019s Hannia\u2019s older sister; their vibes are completely different.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nolan looked thoughtfully toward the restaurant. \u201cI didn\u2019t realize Camellia Hawkins was in charge of Orlinth Innovations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-326","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
