EpilogueCami's POV"Are you sure you want to do this? You don't have to," Blake said"Yes, I am sure. I know you are worried about me, but I need to do this, Blake," I said. Blake looked at me for a while before replying,"Okay, then let's go inside," Blake said, and they walked into the hospital room. Veronica was lying on the bed, and when she saw Blake, she began to smile, but when her eyes met mine, her smile turned into a frown. "What are you doing here? I know, you are here to brag about winning my man," Veronica said"That is not why I am here," I replied"Oh, please. We both know you came to rub in my face that you won. We both know that Blake would have returned to me if you didn't do this to me," Veronica said, pointing to her legs. After I accidentally shot her, she became paralyzed. I felt terrible for her becoming paralyzed and felt I was partly to blame, but I knew it wasn't my fault. She was trying to kill me, and she would have if I didn't take the gun."I am not hap
Camela's POV "How could you lose your job? What did you do?" My stepfather, Sean, screamed as I walked into the house. "I did nothing. Joe's been losing customers and can't afford to pay me anymore," I replied. I placed my purse on the coffee table and sat on the couch. I didn't want to listen to him screaming at me. I was already upset that Joe's Diner, the place I had been working at for about a year, was going bankrupt. A new diner opened around the corner a month ago called Blaire's Diner. Everyone started going there instead of Joe's because they have more up-to-date games. Joe's had the old arcade games like Pacman, while Blaire's had bowling, laser tag, games with tickets, and go-carts. "Well, I will not take care of you. You are not my responsibility. So you better find another job!" He snarled. I looked over at the kitchen and saw my three-year-old brother Liam crying. He must have gotten scared of all the screaming. "Shut him up," Sean screamed and went to his room.
Camela's POV A knock on the door woke me from my sleep. "Why is someone knocking this early in the morning," I thought, and then I remembered Tiara was supposed to come over early so I could go to the interview. I looked at the clock on my end table and saw it was 7:30 AM. "Shit," I said and hurried to the front door. "It's about time! I have been knocking for about twenty minutes," She said as she walked in. "Sorry! I overslept. I have to get ready for the interview." "Yeah! Hurry. They start in less than thirty minutes," She said, and I rushed to the bathroom. I jumped in the shower and washed quickly. I put my clothes on, brushed my long, black hair into a ponytail, and brushed my teeth. I put lotion on my light brown skin so I wouldn't be ashy and walked out of the bathroom. I grabbed my purse out of my room and walked to the front door. Tiara had just come in the door with a suitcase in her hand. I saw other bags she had brought in while I was in the bathroom. "I wil
Blake's POV "We will call you if you are chosen," I said to the lady sitting across from me. I was definitely not choosing her. She didn't even have any experience being an Administrative Assistant. "Thanks, sir," She said and walked out. How's it going? My cousin James asked as he came into my office. "These people have no idea how to be an assistant. Who thought it would be smart to have open interviews? They should be fired," I said and rubbed my hair with my hands out of frustration. "You have a good time with that girl you brought home last night?" James asked "You know I did, and I didn't bring one girl home; I brought three," I said with a smirk. Being the CEO of Mitchell's Enterprise and owning a lot more businesses made all the girls run to me. Not to mention the fact that I was a Mitchell myself. We were the wealthiest people in Illinois. We had billions of dollars. "Well, good luck with your interviews," James said and opened the door Ciara, one of my front r
Camela's POV"What are you going to wear tomorrow to see Mr. CEO," Tia asked"I was thinking I would wear my blue suit with a white shirt underneath.""You should wear something shorter," She said "Why would I do that?""Because you have a hot CEO that is attracted to you." "No, he's not," I replied shocked that she would think that"He called you personally after you screamed at him in his office. You even declined the job at first. Why would he go through all the trouble if he doesn't have a thing for you?" She asked"He might feel I am the best qualified for the position,""Yeah right! You and I both know that there were a lot of people there that were more qualified. You have never been an Admin Assistant," She said and I knew she was rightWhy would he want me as his Assistant? He had told me he had already found the person that was fit for the job. He didn't even interview me. I was beginning to think it would be a bad idea to show up in the morning."Maybe I shouldn't go," I
"I have a younger brother that I am responsible for. He will come with me if I move because I am all he has left. My best friend lives with us too. She will be the one that babysits him for me when I am at work. I don't know if other people are allowed to move into the homes that the company provides," I said "You are allowed to bring family to the home, and your friend will also be able to come. A daycare is nearby just in case you would like to look into it. Do you accept my offer, Miss. Davis," "Yes," Camela's POV "Great! "Let's go," Mr. Mitchell said. "Where are we going?" I asked, confused. "I want to show you your new house, and you need to get a car," he explained. I got to my feet and followed him out of his office. A woman with blond hair approached him, smiling. She dressed in a short dress that made her look like she was going to a club rather than work. She yanked his tie and leaned her body on his. I could feel myself becoming annoyed by how close she was to h
Camela's POV"This is way too much, Mr. Mitchell," I said, pushing the cartWhile we were on our way to the car lot, Mr. Mitchell decided to stop at Target. Saying that, I needed some stuff for the new house."No, it's not. You and Liam need new things for your new home," He said"Don't you think it is inappropriate for you to be shopping with me?" I asked"No, I don't see how that is inappropriate," He said"Mr. Mitchell," I started but was cut off"There is nothing wrong with me taking you to the store and helping you pick out a few items for your new home. After this, we still have to pick out your car," He said"But you are my boss," He said"Exactly, I am the boss, and what I say goes. So don't worry about anyone else. They won't say anything to disrespect you, or they will have to deal with me," he said. I could tell that he was serious."And the name is Blake,""Excuse me,""My name is Blake. Enough of that, Mr. Mitchell nonsense. You don't ever have to call me that," He saidI
Camela's POV"What would you like to eat, Liam," Blake askedHe had taken us to the fair since it was that time of the year."I'm not hungry. I want to play," Liam said, causing me to smile"Okay, let us go play them. We will be back, ladies," Blake said as he took him over to one of the kiddie rides"You are so lucky," Tiara said"What are you talking about?" I asked "You know what I am talking about, Cami. That hot CEO billionaire has the hots for you," She said"No, he doesn't. He is my boss and is friendly,""You and I both know that is a bunch of bullshit. I think he likes you more than likes you," She said."He hardly knows me. How can he more than like me?" I asked"I don't know, but I am telling you that he does," She said We sat for a while until Blake returned to our table with Liam. He had a big bag of blue cotton candy. "Liam, you are going to be sticky now. Let me see," I said and took the bag away from him."I think your sister is right, little man. You need to eat so
