Chapter 156: Picture Frame
Grace and Cammy decided to meet at Cross Tech to save in travel time since Grace had a lot to discuss.
Cammy arrived at Greg’s office a full thirty minutes before lunch, not wanting to waste a second. She walked straight in after receiving a nod of approval from his secretary, only to find Greg packing up his things, looking completely ready to leave.
"You’re heading out already? The others won’t be free until noon," Cammy remarked, puzzled by his early departure.
Greg zipped up his bag and turned to her. "I was actually on my way to find you. Grace called and asked if you two could use the boardroom for your meeting, so I figured you could just use my office instead. I won’t be here anyway—I have to meet my father, so I already told Harry and Ethan I won’t be joining them for lunch."
Cammy frowned. "Wait, I thought you were supposed to meet him this afternoon?"
"That was the plan," Greg admitted, sighing. "But he asked me to have lunch with him instead, and I didn’t want to say no. I need to be on his good side today." He stepped closer, rubbing her arms gently, as if trying to reassure himself as much as her.
"How much longer do you need to train Eve?" he asked, changing the subject.
"Probably just until tomorrow. She already knows most of the tools we use for web development, so there isn’t much left to teach her," Cammy replied.
"Good. I need you here. Once you’re done with Eve, Harry will pass on the tasks you need to handle," Greg said before leaning in to kiss her forehead.
"I have to go. Stay as long as you need, but I might not be back for the rest of the day. I have no idea how this conversation with my father is going to go." He gave her one last lingering look. "I’ll see you at home."
And with that, he turned and walked out, leaving Cammy standing there, her thoughts spinning faster than she could process.
