Chapter 6: Impulsive
[~Song Recommendation: I've Never Been To Me by Charlene~]
"Are you saying you're planning to go back to Duncan? Cammy, think about it. He's cheating on you—you've seen it with your own eyes. I've had this evidence for a while, but I didn't want to be the one to break up your marriage. But now that you've seen the truth yourself, I don't think you should go back," Ric urged, trying to reason with her.
"I understand, Ric, and thank you for showing me this. But I won't be going back to him. Let him believe I died in that plane crash. I need to get my life in order first. I have to find a full-time job so I can support myself and my son. I also need to make sure my father doesn't hear about the crash—he might have a heart attack if he thinks I'm gone. My priority right now is to focus on these things, one step at a time."
Felicity offered, "I can contact my niece at the hospital and have her explain the situation to your father and mother."
"No, Felicity," Cammy quickly responded, "I don't want my mother to know I'm alive—just my dad. My mother adores Duncan; she loves him more than she loves me. If she finds out I survived, she'll definitely tell him. Let her believe we are dead."
"How about Dylan's school? You can't keep that from Duncan," Ellie pointed out.
"He doesn't know Dylan won the contest and that the prize was the scholarship. I was planning to tell him when he gets back, but now he'll never find out. I've already submitted all the necessary documents for his admission, so the only thing left is for him to do is start attending classes when school begins."
"That's a relief, then. By the way, my husband mentioned there's a job opening at their mother company. You might want to check it out." Ellie pulled out her wallet, took out a card, and handed it to Cammy. "Here's his business card. Visit the website to submit your application."
"Cross Tech Group of Companies... Why does that name sound familiar?" Cammy murmured.
