Chapter 126 - Inconveniences

Sometimes we think people can read through our minds and automatically know the right thing to do to make us feel better and make us happy. She surely did her mistakes and treated Evelyn badly by insulting her for no reason. Still, I thought she deserved to be forgiven and given another chance because, at the end of the day, there was no guide to help her to be a good mother, she may have overacted but maybe in time, she will accept our new lives. 

I guessed at some point of your life you get used to a certain "reality" and whenever you see someone you love the change that reality you immediately think your life would change as well.

She just had to understand that we won't change our love for her and that we will always be with her even if our lives would take different directions we will stay the women she grew into. 

I cheered her with a big hug and then left her house. 

I walked to my car and then drove back to my company where the final furniture was set by the restructuring team I hired.

I couldn't wait to spend a weekend with Cameron but before I had to make sure I set everything and did the main things in the company before leaving with him. If not I was sure my mind wouldn't give me peace and would harass me the entire time.

It took me a few hours to set everything in place and finally get an image of what the place may look like in the future. 

I then checked a few emails to see if someone applied for the job applications and then invite the workers I had behind me for some interviews. I would eventually ask them if they were okay with moving to that new company and working with me.

I finally left the place at a very late time of the evening, when it was already 8 pm. Luckily I texted Joanna to inform her I may get late so that she didn't have to wait for me before having dinner.

However, I was glad to have accomplished most of my list of doing in almost a month. So that in case Cameron asked me to leave I could move right away without feeling guilty.

I had always liked restructuring places, giving those a new life and shape. I always felt like it inspired me to do a big change in my life. Indeed, since I began setting that place I also changed my mind about my mother and accepted my sister for who she was.

I locked the door of the company and drove back home, As I took a few turns in the street before reaching the main street my stomach began to complain to express its hunger with loud grumbles. 

"Shut up." I scolded my poor empty stomach when the semaphore changed from green to red right when I was about to pass by it.

I rolled my eyes to the sky and waited for the green to enlight as I tapped impatiently on the steering wheel.

The metaphor finally changed and the red light turned off to enlighten the green one, I pressed the accelerator but the car didn't start. 

What the...

I pressed more strongly as if it could help and then suddenly the car's engine stopped.

Oh no...

My stomach complained again and I felt a cramp of hunger knotting.

I should have checked those two lights on the car instead of pretending I didn't see them, now I regretted not visiting the mechanic more often.

"Damn it!" I complained.

What can I do now? The car stopped exactly in the middle of the street as if the day hadn't already been enough tiring.

I activated the emergency flashers to increase the visibility of my vehicle and at the same time notify the other drivers' something was off.

I went down and walked to the side of the road.

I immediately called Cameron, even if he was probably working, I knew that he would have a solution for that.

"Missing me already?" His sweet voice made me smile unconsciously.

"Yes," I whispered, then I shook my head reminding myself the real reason why I called him in the first place was to him help with the car.

"I need your help. My car stopped." 

"Where are you?" 

"Avenue Street 7." 

"I will send you my driver, I have a meeting. Will ask him to accompany you here and take care of everything."

I nodded, "thank you. Sorry for bothering you during work." 

"It's fine. I will try to close the meeting as soon as I can." 

I hung off and waited for his driver who arrived in about ten minutes. The driver told me he also called a coachbuilder who would soon come to get my car and then offered me to get in his car not to get cold.

"Thank you for coming. I had never been introduced to you earlier, I am Lily Waldorf by the way." I said offering him a shy smile since I felt a little embarrassed to be around Cameron's driver without Cameron there.

He returned the smile, his smile was formal. "Nice to meet you, I had never met any of the women Cameron spends his time with."

Ouch, did he consider me someone Cameron only saw for funny? Or someone he spends time with from time to time whenever he gets bored? That statement kinda hurt but I didn't let him see through my smile. I knew Cameron was a heartbreaker but the driver didn't know I was his girlfriend, not yet.

"Well, I didn't know who else to call. I work in a car company but when it's about engines I am ignorant about it." I attempt at a joke as a chuckle and he nodded.

"Car always stops in the worst place huh?" He said gesturing to the car behind mine where someone was complaining about me stopping there and honking.
