Chapter 47: Mess With Me
Friday arrived, and it was time for Chiqui and Cammy to present the draft design layout for Crossmart.
When Cammy handed her designs to Chiqui the day before, she was relieved to find that no major adjustments were needed—Chiqui loved all of them. As a practice run before the CEO meeting, Chiqui had her present the designs to Ethan in the afternoon.
Thankfully, Ethan was just as impressed as Chiqui and approved her work. Now, the only thing left was to hear the CEO’s feedback and decide which layout would be chosen for the website and app.
"Cammy, are you ready?" Chiqui called out as she stood up, preparing to head to the CEO’s office.
Cammy took a deep breath, nodded, and walked over to Chiqui’s desk, clutching her tablet. She couldn’t deny the nervousness gnawing at her—facing Greg always rattled her more than she liked to admit.
Though he constantly irritated her and stirred emotions she’d rather keep buried, he was still her boss, and deep down, she wanted to impress him. Cammy was determined to show him that she wasn’t like the other women from his past. She was more than that—capable, skilled, and far above the rest.
Cammy quietly followed Chiqui to the elevator, where they met Ethan, who was waiting just outside.
"Nervous?" Ethan asked as they stepped inside.
"A little," she replied, keeping it brief.
Chiqui gave her a reassuring pat on the back and smiled. "Don’t worry, it’s just going to be the four of us, and it’s not a formal presentation. Relax. You did great yesterday, so I’m sure the big boss will love it."
"She’s right, Cammy. Once the design is finalized, I’ll be the one to present it formally and not you, so don’t be nervous," Ethan backed up what Chiqui said.
