Chapter 81: Enjoy The Show
It was nearing evening when Cammy, Dylan, and Greg finally arrived at the new apartment after spending the entire afternoon shopping for groceries and modern appliances—many of which Greg insisted on getting for Cammy.
To ease the atmosphere, Cammy invited Eve, her daughter Cassey, and her landlords over for dinner, especially since Ric would also be joining them.
"Girl, thank goodness Mr. and Mrs. Moore came home early. I don’t know how I’d handle the tension between those two otherwise," Eve whispered to Cammy while helping her unpack the groceries.
"I know, but what can I do? Greg practically invited himself, and I can’t deal with another argument between them," Cammy replied.
"You need to fill me in on everything going on in your life—every single detail. Don’t even think about skipping anything, got it?" Eve teased, making Cammy laugh.
"You two seem to be having a good time," Ric remarked as he joined them at the kitchen island. "Need a hand? You know the kitchen is my specialty," he added with a playful grin.
"We know, Chef, but tonight, you’re my guest. I decide who gets to help, and right now, your job is to relax—just like Mr. and Mrs. Moore," Cammy replied, her tone light but firm.
"Alright, you’re the boss," Ric said with a wink. "But don’t hesitate to call me if you need backup." His playful gesture earned a smile and a shake of the head from Cammy.
"I still like him better than your boss," Eve whispered boldly once more.
Cammy chuckled softly, her eyes unknowingly drifting toward Greg, who was laughing and playing with Dylan and Cassey. "I know," she admitted. "I like him better than my boss too. But sometimes, no matter how much you like someone, your heart just doesn’t align with your mind. It has its own way of choosing."
Eve followed Cammy’s gaze, her brow furrowing slightly before realization struck. Her eyes darted between Cammy and Greg, watching the subtle warmth in Cammy’s expression as she observed him.
