Chapter 22 Disservice
Dennis got mad, pounded the table, and stood up.
"Brat, I didn't raise you to be a self-made man but want you to carry forward the family business!"
Harden also got up, widened his eyes, and confronted his father. There wasn't the slightest respect in his eyes. He must have been through something and acted like this...
An anxiety-ridden Camila was dining alone in the cafeteria. A boy with shiny, straight hair, fair cheeks, and deep, bright eyes came up.
"Camila, finally I found you. I just learned you're in the cafeteria."
Arlo, what was he doing here?
Longing no connections with him, she sighed with a sullen face.
"Anything?"
"Nothing, it's been a while. I just want to see you. How were you doing in the past six months? In the mountains..."
Camila cut him short.
"I'm doing fine, don't bother nor come to me again."
"What's the matter? Anything wrong?"
Arlo was confused. It was true that Camila rejected him repeatedly, but he had never seen her so angry. He had no idea what went wrong.
Camila didn't bother to explain and would not let him know because of Victoria's threat earlier. Therefore, she got up and trotted out.
"Camila, Camila, wait!"
What was going on? I didn't do anything. Why was she so mad?
The puzzled man just wanted to stop Camila and figure it out! In big strides, he caught up and pressed insistently.
"Stop running! Tell me about it!"
"If you don't say it, I'll follow you forever."
"Tell me, we can fix it! Is it... Victoria?"
In his view, Camila was embarrassed to face him because of the gossip spread vigorously by Victoria.
As soon as she heard the name, the expressions in her eyes changed uncontrollably, and he confirmed his assumption.
Arlo intercepted her, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists. His eyes were blazing with so much anger as if he was going to tear Victoria apart.
"Okay, I see. Don't worry, I'll teach her a lesson!"
Arlo was such a spoony. There were so many beautiful girls for his choice, but he only had feelings for Camila.
Once this escalated, Camila would suffer. Therefore, she hurriedly waved her hand and explained.
"It's not about her, don't look for her. It's just I don't think we're meant for each other, so don't waste your time on me!"
Her speech was half true.
It was not the first time that she rejected Arlo, but the man was persistent.
He grabbed her arm and spoke affectionately.
"Camila, couldn't you just try to know me? The same excuse doesn't work for me, and I won't give up. One day, you'll know that I'm the best boyfriend for you. I'll protect you."
Camila was lost for words! She didn't have more hurtful remarks to dissuade the man and had to hear him out. Following his speech, Arlo turned away. Given the expression on his face, he was going to find Victoria, and Camila would be hurt again. How should she deal with it this time?
