Chapter 24
“That man,” the colleague whispered when they had put some distance between
themselves and the couple.
“That's the boss of Paramount Corporation. He is young and successful, and still
holds so much promise. I really envy Dr. Griffith. She's so Lucky to have scored
such a man.”
Camila didn't respond.
The colleague continued to prattle on. “How can someone be so perfect? Not
only is he rich and good at business, he is also handsome and charming-"
“How do you know he’s all that?” Camila finally interrupted. “For all we know, he
might be a pervert.” She thought back to last night, and the way he had strangled
her and thrown the most vile insults at her. The word pervert wouldn't even begin
to cover what he was.
Her colleague burst out Laughing.
It went without saying that Debora had risen among the ranks by virtue of her
association with Isaac. Everyone who worked in the hospital attended her
farewell party, and all the tables in Section B were occupied.
Camila and her colleague entered the function hall. They were about to head
toward the table in the far corner when the hospital director raised his hand and
stopped her. “Camila! Please come and sit with us.”
Camila turned to find Isaac staring straight at her. She fixed a polite smile on her
face and made to decline the director's offer. “I'm sorry, Sir, I-”
“Come on.” The director easily brushed aside her refusal and pulled her to an
empty chair.
She had no choice but to join them in their table, though she made sure to keep
her head down.
The director wasn't done yet, however. He leaned close and nudged Camila with
his elbow.
“You and Debora go all the way back to university, right? Now that she is off to
the Military Central Hospital, you should offer her a toast.”
“She doesn’t drink,” Isaac cut in without warning.
A hush fell over the table as they glanced between Isaac and Camila. How did he
know that she didn’t drink?
Camila herself was taken aback. She finally raised her eyes and met Isaac's
teasing gaze.
Her hands balled into fists under the table.
What was the bastard up to now?
Debora sensed that something was amiss, but she decided to ignore her hunch.
She told herself that she must have misunderstood Isaac's meaning.

Just then, Isaac’s phone rang. He didn't bother excusing himself and just
answered it at the table.
The caller said something, to which he replied that he understood before
promptly hanging up.
