Chapter 34 - Careful, You May Be The Next

The next day I woke up later than usual, yet I still made it to work at the usual timing. 10 minutes earlier than my time, I walked in grabbing a huge cup of coffee.

In front of my office stood a man whose silhouette was muscled and his hair was long and thick. Was it…

Cameron turned around and flashed me a huge smile.

Of course, it was him, the only person in the entire world who could be earlier than me at work.

"Good morning," he said.

"Morning," I returned the smile. Everyone's gazes were on him, especially the women who looked like they had never seen a man in their lives.

I opened the door in my office and he walked behind me, the door was still opened as he probably forgot to close it. His gaze set on me the whole time making me almost forget how to drink.

I cleared my voice, "so… we have to work together?!" I asked.

He nodded, walking around my office and inspecting every corner of it.

I wondered if offices were a place he allowed in his long list of rules …

He turned around and finally replied to me, "sounds so. Well, it will be fun." He gestured with his hands and then he walked back nearer me and sat in the chair in front of my desk.

I heard a knock on my door and a woman walked in, one of the assistants of my boss.

"Hello, Cameron." She said smiling hugely while her gaze traveled through him as if she was looking at a model.

"Your photos in the papers don't make you justice." She whispered and I couldn't prevent my eyes from rolling at her lack of touch.

"Thank you." He smiled.

"I am Patricia, Simon's assistant, I was very excited at getting to know you. You're such an inspiration and the perfect combination between a charming boy and a successful self-made man."

"I am flattered, thank you," Cameron said and then he darted his gaze back on me. "We shall get to work now."

I nodded, yes we shall. If someone finally would leave the office.

"Maybe I can join you and see you two in action."

She didn't seem much interest in me, but I wouldn't mind making her see me in action in firing her.

Another roll of my eyes, but this time he caught me and almost laughed. "Maybe next time." He replied.

She finally walked away after a nod and a murmur, "alright, see you next time."

After that, he rested his head on his hands and tilted his head to the side, "let's start?"

I didn't know what we were supposed to do together, Simon didn't explain much. He said he would let me know more but he didn't.

"I just know we have to collab together," I said, shrugging and taking the last sips of my cup of coffee.

"We do indeed, well Simon told me we should help each other's in our jobs and then see if the collaboration will increase our monthly results or not."

I nodded, I leaned forward to toss the coffee cup in the trash and when it fell in I smiled proudly.

He laughed widening his eyes, "did I see it right?" He asked puzzled shaking his head.

"What?" I frowned my head not understanding what he meant.

"None other than the miss bossy girl who fired a boy for cheating and makes everything go straight here just tossed a cup?"

He covered his mouth with his hand shocked.

"Stop it!" I complained pushing him gently.

"Should I tell Matthew?" He continued to poke me as I laughed.

"We should work Mr. Collins." I folded my arms and faked an angry expression.

He lifted his hands in a sign of surrender and then took a deep breath.

"I'm at your commands."

Then I tried to explain to him my work, telling him who the most important clients were and showing him our current statistics. I wasn't surprised to learn that he knew most of the clients but I did was surprised that he bever bought a car from us. We were a luxury car company and I was sure he could afford at least hundreds of our best cars.

"You're not interested in cars?" I asked.

"Yes, I am."

Just like I expected, well maybe he went to buy his cars somewhere else. I just wondered if things would have been different if we met earlier.

"I have a tradition which is that whenever I want to buy a new car, I buy it in the country it was produced in." He explained, and my face enlightened up now it all made sense.

"Are you jealous I didn't buy any car here?" He asked hinting at a smirk and raising his eyebrow.

He knew how to tease me very well. I don't know if there was some special connection between us but I was truly enjoying working with someone whereas usually I always preferred to work individually rather than in a couple or group.

"You would attract many more clients," I said, then I took a short brief. "Especially women." I clicked my tongue and we both then laugh.

"Well, I cannot deny that my charm made many women fell." He said shrugging as if he couldn't do anything in that regard.

"Poor them," I replied.

"Careful, you may be the next one.." He smirked and I shook my head in dissent.
