Chapter 154: Liar and Spy
Cammy and Eve had agreed to meet early at the café near the office, hoping to steal a few quiet moments over breakfast before the workday began.
Eve arrived first, but she wasn’t exactly at ease. From the street, Cammy spotted her through the window—fidgeting, glancing around anxiously, her fingers wrapped tightly around her coffee cup as if it were the only thing grounding her.
As Cammy stepped inside, the scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air. She grinned as she approached the table. "Eve! You’re early!" she exclaimed, making Eve flinch. Cammy frowned. "Woah, are you okay? I swear, your coffee must be too strong—it’s turning you into a nervous wreck." She chuckled, sliding into the seat across from her.
Eve let out a shaky breath. "Cammy, something happened—"
But before she could get another word out, Cammy’s phone buzzed loudly on the table.
She glanced at the screen. "Hold that thought, it’s Attorney Perez," she said, quickly answering the call before stepping back outside.
Eve watched her through the glass, her eyes narrowing as she observed Cammy’s changing expressions. Her friend was frowning now, her jaw tight, her free hand gesturing in frustration. Whatever she was hearing wasn’t good.
Eve bit her lip, trying to read her lips through the window. "Dun...can... court? No..." she whispered to herself, her unease growing with every passing second.
"So, not only are you a liar, but you’re also a spy?"
The sharp accusation made Eve’s head snap up, her eyes locking onto the man who had dared to say such words.
Her curiosity twisted into fury in an instant. Brow arching, she glared at him. "Did you just call me a liar and a spy? How dare you!"
