The Miracle of You Chapter 36
The upscale restaurant was bustling with the lunchtime crowd, the clinking of cutlery and low hum of conversation providing a backdrop to the crisp white tablecloth and shining silverware.The place was pretty fancy, Camille had to admit. She had seen her share of fancy restaurants over the years thanks to Christian’s extravagant tastes, but this one had the best interior she had ever seen.It had a cozy and elegant feel, with gold, dark red, and cream shades used for the color scheme. Large, fancy chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and beautiful, eye-catching paintings adorned the walls.The tables were nicely set, and there was plenty of space between them so the guests wouldn’t feel crowded. There was also a pianist at the small podium playing soft music in the background, the soothing melody making the anxiety in her heart ease a little.In the middle of the restaurant, there was a large, fancy wooden bar where they made various drinks. They also had an impressive collection of wi

Time stopped for Camille the moment Michael McGregor walked through those doors.And he looked more handsome than ever, if that was even possible.He stood at an imposing height of six feet, possessing a commanding presence that seemed to fill the room. Suddenly, he no longer seemed like the mischievous, carefree boy that she knew all those years ago.Gone was the dyed hair, replaced with a shade of light-brown that was impeccably styled, framing a chiseled face that could possibly belong to a cover model. The lighting cast shadows on his sharp cheekbones, complementing his well-defined jawline.He was dressed in a tailored charcoal-gray suit that accentuated his broad shoulders and lean physique. Even from afar, his status was quite prominent, and he seemed to exude an air of timeless elegance.Now Camille felt even more estranged from him, like the gap between their worlds had grown much wider. It occurred to her, at this moment, that this was the first time she had seen him dress a

Suddenly, Camille’s head was filled with all sorts of thoughts.Thoughts that were popping out one by one, intrusive and penetrating, each coming with theories so wild that her mind was plunged into blankness for a moment.Her paranoia started acting up as soon as she struggled to keep rational.Could Michael be in communication with her parents? What if he told them that she was back in the city? What if he was meeting up with them right now and planning on what they should do with her?What if this was his response to her pushing him away so coldly that day?No… Michael couldn’t be that callous, right? He wouldn’t do her dirty like that. He wasn’t even close with her parents. Heck, he had never even met them before.‘But wait…’ Camille’s thoughts were running wild. ‘What if they had been doing a few business deals together over the years?’‘No, that doesn’t make sense. He mentioned on our first meeting that he barely even knew my brothers.’‘But they are only my brothers… He never m

“You refuse?” Christian repeated, though his tone didn’t seem to contain any anger. “Why?”“I can handle the workload,” Camille said simply. “I don’t need an assistant.”“Hmm. However, I have the authority and discretion to employ an assistant or additional support staff for you if I believe that the workload is constantly overwhelming,” he said thoughtfully. “It’s not an uncommon occurrence. After all, an assistant can help you manage your tasks and responsibilities. Isn’t it a good deal? Or is it the overtime pay that you’re looking for? If so, I can give you a raise.”Camille shook her head. “I don’t need a raise. I just want to work the way I always do. I don’t need any favors from you.”“Ah, so that’s it.” Christian’s lips curved into a satisfied smile. “You don’t want to be indebted to me in any way.”“I also prefer my environment to remain the same as much as possible,” Camille added calmly. “So I will have to politely refuse your offer.”“Hmm. Smart girl.” Christian shrugged b

Camille stared at the rows of jewelry before her, scowling.What in the world was that just now?Such a close-minded person. It was as though Christian Callahan really believed that all the women he had dated were the same as the rest.He sounded so sure of himself, too.Of course, being materialistic wasn’t always a bad thing. But there was such a thing as a limit and a boundary. The world wasn’t all black and white. There were layers to everything.The population was made up of several billion people. Of course not everyone was the same.Just as the way Christian Callahan was also different from the other male population.‘Like Noah…’ Camille couldn’t help but think, and she could feel her spirits dampening somewhat.It was no use. No matter how much she tried to forget about Michael and not think about him anymore, it didn’t work. Eventually, she would find her thoughts drifting back towards him.It was pitiful in a way. Why did she, a grown woman, keep thinking about a man and wis

As the days approached, nearing the date of the masquerade event, Camille was getting increasingly anxious. The text that she received from Michael a few nights ago didn’t help, either.First off, what did he mean by ‘see you soon’?Was he implying that he knew she was going to attend the masquerade event?Or maybe he was gonna pay her a surprise visit somewhere?It was too vague. She needed answers.She had an internal debate with herself that night whether she should reply to him or not.In the end, she decided not to and abided by her decision.If she was ever going to face him at the social event, then she had to prepare for all possibilities beforehand.‘As long as I avoid him at the party, I’ll be fine,’ Camille assured herself as she stood in front of the dresser mirror, drying off her hair.The days had flown by and now it was time. It was the day Christian planned to introduce her to his ‘friends’ and partners. Thanks to the mask, her identity would be hidden. Although it irr

To be honest, the moment she strode into the room, Christian felt this foreign feeling in his chest.She was beautiful.Not that he hadn’t found her pretty before, but right now, she was especially bewitching.Her eyelids were adorned with shimmering emerald eyeshadow that extended to create a subtle smoky effect, adding to the allure of her expression. Her long, dark lashes were lined with mascara, and a single emerald gem nestled in the corner of her right eye like a distant, shimmering star.With soft, arched eyebrows, she stared at him, her expression unusually vulnerable. She seemed a little nervous, and he couldn’t understand why that struck a chord in him.His eyes dropped to her lips, which were painted a velvety shade of rose-petal pink, a subtle yet seductive choice that balanced the boldness of her robes and mask. Delicate touches of rosy blush adorned her cheeks, complementing her flawlessly pale skin that tempted him to touch it.Before Christian could realize what he was

Camille sent him an unimpressed look.What kind of wording was that just now? Was he trying to make himself seem like an angelic gentleman?‘This devil incarnate is wearing sheep’s clothing but the disguise is just too lousy and obvious,’ she thought with a roll of her eyes.“I can handle myself,” she said coldly.For some reason, her response seemed to please Christian. “Ah, a fiercely independent woman, I see,” he remarked. “Just the way I like it.”Camille scowled.‘So infuriating!’When they finally arrived at the doors, Christian handed their invitations to the security guards. After a thorough check, they were allowed to pass.One of the butlers offered to take Camille’s hat and veil, so she agreed and handed them to him. The man also took both of their coats before gesturing for them to go inside.The moment Camille stepped into the hall, she felt her breath being taken away.The ballroom was huge. The walls were covered with silk tapestries depicting scenes from various eras,
