Chapter 42: Admirer
Cammy stepped back when the man extended the bouquet of white roses and asked, "And who exactly are you? How did you find my address?"
"I’m Mr. Cross’ driver. I guess he got your address from your employee profile? He sent me because Atty. Perez said you shouldn’t be seen in public. Please, Ma’am, take these flowers—they’re for you," the driver explained.
Cammy frowned, still refusing to accept the roses, and pressed further. "Why give me flowers? There’s no need for all this, and no need to pick me up. I can just wear a hat and sunglasses to work if they are all worried about my identity."
The driver scratched his head, offering an awkward smile. "Mr. Cross said the flowers are for peace offering for last night. Ma’am, I’ll get in trouble if you don’t take the flowers or ride in the car. My boss was very clear—no more public transport for you. He even had these roses delivered to the mansion early this morning and paid triple for them."
"You’ve done your job, so it’s not on you. I’m the one refusing the flowers and the car ride," Cammy said firmly.
"I might lose my job, Ma’am..." the driver mumbled, lowering his head.
Cammy sighed, rolling her eyes as she glanced at the driver, feeling a pang of pity. "Fine. I’ll take the flowers and ride with you, but just for today. Let your boss know that if he bothers me again tomorrow, I’ll quit my job myself!"
"Yes, Ma’am!" The driver quickly handed her the roses with a smile and opened the backseat door as soon as she took them.
Cammy set the roses on the seat beside her and pulled out her phone to text Dylan. [Good morning, my love! I miss you, call me later when it’s your call time. Love you!]
After sending the message, she skimmed through the texts she’d ignored last night and earlier that morning.
Both Felicity and Ellie had informed her about Felicity’s departure planned for the upcoming weekend and replied to them before checking the rest. Another message, however, made her smile.
