Chapter 43: Greg’s Frustration
"You can’t miss it, Cammy!" Chiqui said assertively.
"I know, but my meeting at lunch is about my case. I’m getting some evidence from a friend, so it’s pretty important."
"Oh, I see... I guess you’re right, that’s more important than a team lunch since it is also regarding your stay in the company. Go ahead and meet your friend. I’ll explain to the CEO if he asks why someone from the team is missing. I’m sure he’ll understand, especially since it’s a legal matter that affects your employment here," Chiqui said with a reassuring smile.
"Thank you so much! I owe you big time. I must have done something good in a past life to get such a kind manager like you!"
"Oh, stop flattering me! I’ve already approved you leaving—you don’t need to butter me up," she teased, making them both laugh.

When Cammy went down to the lobby, she immediately spotted Ric standing in front of the glass walls, gazing out the window. His striking appearance made him stand out from the crowd.
As she approached him, she carefully made sure her shoes were silent. Once she was right behind him, she playfully said, "Hello, handsome! Can I get your number?" She couldn’t help but laugh before Ric even turned around.
Ric chuckled and welcomed her with a hug. "How are you?"
"I’m doing well, everything’s okay. Ethan helped me find a good lawyer and a way to afford her fees. I’ll fill you in on the details later, but I can’t be seen in public for long. Ready to go?"
Ric nodded and guided Cammy to where he had parked his car.
