Chapter 85 - Laid Eyes On

I walked to the bathroom in the middle of the event and as I passed by the crowd I overheard few people I had never seen before talking about me.

"That Lily girl is beautiful, do you think Cameron laid his eyes on her?" One of them said as he laughed with the other two. 

They didn't see me so I turned my back on them so that they wouldn't recognize me and hear what they said about me.

"I doubt so, he never combine job and personal affairs." The other one laughed, shrugging.

"Maybe he should start to do so for her. Have you seen her body and the way he hugged her? Maybe he is considering to expand his boundaries." The third one intruded and my blood boiled in my veins. Who were those deplorable people and how dare them talk about me like that?

"I had never seen him with anyone beside that Madison."

"Madison! That was her name! A girl named Madison came to his work few days ago and they left for few hours!"

My heart sank in my chest and I felt it preciping down a empty void as if someone ripped it off my chest and then let it fall down.

"Maybe they're seeing again." The first one spoke again and hearing that I immediately walked away, I wished I didn't stop there to overhear what they were saying because now my mind began to overthink about them.

Maybe Madison was trying to get in our way or maybe he called her to tell her to mind her own business? I hoped so. 

I stopped my overthinking before it could change my mood and as soon as I got in the bathroom I lenead on the wall and took slow long breathes.

There are thousands of reasons why they could have met, I also met Carl only to get him the things he left at my house.

I went out of the bathroom, many of the guests had already left and the men I overheard them talking now was talking with Cameron. 

When his gaze fell on me I smiled and he reached me.

"Who are them? I never saw them in Simon's company." I asked, with the corner of my eyes I spotted they were gazing at us.

"They work for me and Simon." He answered turning around to gaze at them, when his gaze met theirs they both flinched away as if they were gulty.

"Why are you so curious about them?" Cameron asked still glancing at them.

"Because I heard them talking... They were wondering if you laid your eyes on me and someone of them even mentioned seeing you with Madison..." I said it calmy not to let him see through the surface and hear how vulnerable I was.

"Oh they are meddling huh?" He giggled amused, but my face only hinted at a forced smile.

"Well, Madison wanted to see me. She asked me if I am seeing you and..." He rested his hand on my back and began to talk on a corner of the room more private.

"She asked me if I am seeing you and if the rules applied for you too. I guess she is somehow more jealous of you then the other women I had." He shrugged non-challanging as if her jealoudy didn't mean anything to him and probably the idea of me concerned and jealous just like her didn't cross his mind.

His response didn't soften my doubts, instead I got even more worried because I knew that woman would try to get in the middle of our relationship and I didn't want other women to ruin my relationship. Not this time.

"What did you say to her?" I asked, my voice betrayed my effort this time and rang a bit more tensed.

"I told her the truth, that I am following the rules but some rules just came easy to break with you." 

I smiled inconsciously, and he did the same, "don't tell me you're jealous of her too?" He said biting his lip to avoid his smirk to grow.

"I am not." I lied and he probably knew that.

Despite that he nodded, "good, because you shouldn't be." 

I shouldn't be? Why? I opened my mouth to ask but he didn't leave me do so, he walked away with a smirk on his face and I shook my head amused.

That was also part of his charm. 

After about half an hour later the event was over so Joanna and I left to come back home.

As soon as we got in the car she took a deep breath and let out the question that had been pondering in her mind for too long, "what happened in that bathroom and what was Cameron doing with that woman?" 

I smiled, "they were just talking, as soon as I walked him she accused me of tripped her on purpose so Cameron asked if that was true."

"And??" She asked even before I managed to finish my sentence.

"And I told him that I got driven by anger and that I lost the control and apologized."

She looked at me puzzled and perplexed probably not figuring out how my apology would eventually lead to us holding hands in front of hundreds of people. And to be honest, I didn't know either, I was just as surprised as her since everything happened so fast, one second before I was pleading him to forgive me and the second one his lips were pressed on mine. 

"I apologized again and again, I was concerned he was mad at me and then he asked me if I was jealous. Hearing that question I blurted out and admitted to him that I was." 

I smiled as I mentally relived the scene as if I was living that event again and again. 

"And he kissed me. He told that woman that we were seeing and warned her not to tell Simon.." I finally finished describing what happened and Joanna remained puzzled.
