Chapter 25
Camila ended the call and turned to Debora. “I'm sorry, something urgent came
up. I need to go. Let me offer you a toast with this glass of water. I wish you all
the best.” She held up her glass of water toward Debora and drank it.
Isaac watched Camila gather her purse with a meaningful smirk. He waited for
her to stand up and said, “What a coincidence! I have something to take care of
as well. Why don't we leave together?”
Camila paused, her eyes growing wide as saucers.
For some unknown reason, Isaac was irked that Camila was pretending not to
know him.
He was eager to see how long she could keep up the act.
As expected, all eyes turned to Camila.
They were wearing similar expressions of surprise and confusion. What a
coincidence, indeed.
Something urgent had just come up for the both of them at the same time?
This time, Debora felt a prickle of unease. She was able to brush aside Isaac's
comment earlier, but what about now?
She studied Isaac and Camila closely, trying to spot any tiny detail that might clue
her in on what was between them.
“Is something wrong, Camila?” Debora asked.
Camila was sorely tempted to tell Debora that she was actually Isaac's wife. She
would like to see how the man would explain himself then.
But the truth of the matter was that she didn’t dare. She couldn't afford to
provoke the man.
She had already lost the chance to intern at the Military Central Hospital; she
couldn't risk losing anything else, especially her job.
Camila mustered an awkward smile and decided not to mention the so-called
coincidence she shared with Isaac.
“My grandfather wants me to come over. It looks Like something happened at
home. I'm sorry, but I should really go.”
Camila was hoping that they would leave things at that, but Isaac seemed hell-
bent on making things difficult for her.
“Well, how about that?” he exclaimed. “My grandfather also asked me to come
home. Where does your grandfather live? Let me drop you off.”
The smile on Camila’s face almost dropped. If she had been any less disciplined,
she would have already smashed her glass on Isaac's stupid face!

Debora watched her go with a frown before turning to Isaac.
“Do you know Camila?” she asked pointedly.
