Chapter 98
Half an hour later, Claire stood at the entrance of Cedarhill Estate, holding Camila’s hand in disbelief. “You live here?”
Camila nodded, leading her mother into the neighborhood as the security guard at the gate smiled and nodded politely. “Ms. Camila, you’re back.”
Camila smiled in response.
Only then did Claire truly believe that her daughter lived in such an upscale community, feeling a touch of unease. “What does your company do? How can they afford to provide such nice accommodations for employees?”
Camila explained, “This apartment belongs to my boss. He doesn’t use it, so he let me stay here as company housing.”
Once inside, Claire seemed a bit uneasy and restless. The lavish decor and the sprawling apartment made it hard to believe it was just employee housing. “How many people live here?”
“Just me.” Camila handed her mother a pair of new slippers.
“Just you?” Claire’s heart raced, unable to avoid thoughts of hidden motives. She trusted her daughter’s character, but her mind couldn’t help but wander.
She opened the shoe cabinet, checking for any men’s shoes. Finding none, she felt somewhat relieved.
“Yes, come in and have a look around.” Camila was oblivious to her mother’s concerns.
“How much would rent be for a place like this?” Claire asked.
“A few thousand, I guess. I’m not really sure.” Camila led her mother to see the bedrooms. “I sleep in this one. The master bedroom is over there. I don’t use it since it’s someone else’s property.”
Claire checked every bedroom for any signs of male belongings and finally relaxed a bit. “Cami, your boss doesn’t have any other intentions, right?”
“Of course not!” Camila chuckled, “My old place was too far from work. I have to be there by seven or eight in the morning, and I often work late. So, my boss lent me this apartment.”
“How old is your boss?”
