Chapter 54: Trust me
"I didn’t consider applying to your company because, like Cammy, I have a kid," Eve said casually. "She gets sick often, and I need to keep a close eye on her. Freelancing works best for me right now."
"I understand," Greg responded sincerely. "If you ever change your mind, let me know, and I’ll see if there’s an open position available." Eve nodded in acknowledgment.
Cammy, clearly surprised, couldn’t hold back her curiosity. "This is the first time I’ve heard about this. What’s causing her to get sick?"
"My daughter, Cassey, has bronchial asthma," Eve explained. "It flares up when the seasons change or if she’s exposed to allergens she’s sensitive to."
"Same with Dylan," Greg remarked casually as he continued eating.
His comment caught the two women off guard, prompting them to pause and look at him in surprise.
"You two seem closer than I realized. He even knows about your son’s condition," Eve said to Cammy.
"It’s a long story," Cammy replied with a small smile. "He actually met Dylan by chance before I even met him. I’ll tell you about it some other time."
"What about your husband? Does he work in IT too?" Greg asked suddenly, catching the two women off guard once again.
"Greg! That’s not a proper question to ask," Cammy chided him.
Greg frowned, clearly puzzled. "What did I do? I was just thinking that if he’s in IT, my company might have opportunities if he’s interested in applying."
