A Love Rekindled

Chapter 92

As Bruce came closer, I got a clearer view of the agitation in his eyes.

That was an emotion that I had never seen in him before.

And perhaps because I was in a daze from being intoxicated, I also saw an inexplicable hint of grievance in him at that moment.

But he had just celebrated his three-month dating anniversary with Cindy.

What was he curious about?

It looked so ridiculous for him to have his curiosity piqued at this time, even if he was only slightly curious.

Douglas was a kind man, and he didn't deserve to receive any unnecessary hatred.

If it wasn't for his sake, I wouldn't have had any reason to explain myself to Bruce.

"We're just friends," I honestly said. "But I appreciate your concern, Mr. Harold.”

Bruce took another step closer to me. "Why do you have to explain yourself?" he asked in an overbearing manner.

"Now that it has come to this, did you think that there was anything that I was still curious about?" he continued in an arrogant voice beside my ear. I lifted my head and met his dark eyes, and to my surprise, he looked discontented

I thought to myself that it was probably my own delusion, a misjudgment due to having too much alcohol. Immediately, I looked away and casually responded, "Weren't you the one who asked about it first. Mr. Harold?" Under the dim lighting, I saw Bruce twirl the cigarette in his fingers before saying, "You really like to brag, Nancy." He stepped back.

Then, he coldly clicked his tongue and turned around to leave.

I watched as he walked away.

Then, I gradually uncurled my fingers and breathed a sigh of relief.

Initially, I thought that we'd achieved a perfect outcome that night.

However, I received Anika's resignation letter the next morning.

"I caused so much trouble for you and Caroline. I'm too embarrassed to remain here."

It was as if Anika had matured overnight. The look in her eyes was less reckless than before.

She apologetically continued, N "Moreover, as you know, I only joined this team in the first place because I likedthis job. But I really can ‘htake it anymore now.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

She said that she couldn't take it anymore, and it was obvious that she still held a grudge about what had happened before. If I forced her to stay on, she would still have to work together with Cindy. And I knew that would still be a form of torture for her.

But the issue was that the project had already progressed to its current stage and Anika’s departure would cause a sudden disruption in the art designs.

That would be as good as not having plating for a dish that was being served

Naturally, the progress of the project would then be halted, and it would make things extremely tricky. At the same time, there hadn't been any progress with Camille either.

We hadn't heard back from Nikolai ever since we filled in the form, so chances were really slim.

In an instant, we ended up being on the reactive side.

After negotiating, Anika agreed to work with us until the end of the month, albeit reluctantly.

However, Caroline and I were well aware that it was impossible to keep someone once they no longer wished to be with the company.

So, this only meant that we had to lock down the collaboration with Camille before Anika's departure

It was indeed a tall order.

Caroline supperted her forehead with her pales-and sighed, "You were too understanding. Let's say that ~ we're ludky enough to invite Camille to joins. We would still need a> couple of months to adapt tovone anather. Then, Cindy's thesis ‘might b@ affected. Content be anys to

"If so, we would be breaking the agreement, and I'm afraid that Bruce will make sure that we feel sorry for it.” Caroline's words made me feel burdened, and in the blink of an eye. I started to feel pressured. Camille's fan meeting was happening in the afternoon, so we put our hope in that event.

"Based on his past practice, there's no way that Camille wouldn't show up.” Caroline carefully came up with an analysis.

"When I went fer drinks the other day, I was informed that he likes to blend in with the crowd. He likes ha hide among his fans to watch people's. reactions. So, he'll surely be witht the crowd of fans this” affétnoon, Nancy."

With that said, there would still be a total of 50 people at the fan meeting.

It wouldn't be easy to spot Camille within such a crowd.
