“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,

‘What the hell is he doing?’ was the sole thought in Camille’s head at this very moment.Christian’s touch was surprisingly gentle. The pad of his thumb rubbed against the corner of her lips, as though wiping something away.“Are you even a lady?” he said with a tone of light disapproval. “You munched away so happily that you never even noticed these crumbs on your face. Have you not learned proper meal etiquette during your younger years?”The words processed inside Camille’s head for a moment before she, very slowly, grabbed his hand and put it down. It was fine when they were alone or at home, but they were at a public event now, so she couldn’t treat him with the same snark she usually did. She had to be careful with her actions from now on.“I apologize,” she gritted out, trying not to show the displeasure in her expression. “I will be more careful next time.”Christian smirked, knowing very well why she was suddenly being passive. “Good girl,” he praised, taking out a handkerchi

After those threatening words, Harold froze in his seat and stared at Christian with a look of disbelief. His mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water, and not a sound escaped his lips.Camille, on the other hand, was clutching her elbow so tightly that her long sleeves were wrinkled excessively. She looked nervously back and forth between Christian’s cold gaze and Harold’s shocked, frightened expression.Perhaps the old man had forgotten, but Christian had more power and influence than he did. Even though they worked well together in business matters, there was a clear line that was not to be crossed.And that was never to offend Christian Callahan no matter what.“I would like to have a few more words with Mr. Huckington here, so please leave us for a while, Miss Parker,” Christian spoke up calmly.He didn’t even spare Camille a glance. Instead, his gaze remained fixed on Harold, who was currently trembling like a leaf.“U—Understood, sir,” Camille stammered before hurrying

Camille wanted to gag.‘Camie’? What the hell kind of nickname was that?She tried hard not to let anything show in her expression and maintained a calm, cool façade. But she did grip his arm tighter than usual, and she felt a twinge of satisfaction at him stiffening for a brief moment.“Your… fiancée?” one of the men repeated in disbelief. The others looked like they were doubting their ears just now.Christian nodded. “Yes. My fiancée. She’s very lovely, isn’t she?” He pulled Camille closer to him until there was no sideways gap between their bodies. “I especially planned on introducing her to you all since I value trust between us. Soon, the two of us will be married, and I would like to invite you all to the private wedding.”“O—Of course! Of course,” one of the men quickly agreed. “This calls for a grand celebration, Mr. Callahan! Are you planning on holding a formal engagement party?”While the others were excitedly discussing, two of the men seemed especially confused.Larry Do
