Tara's heart stirred. She hadn't expected Cameron to say that. She pressed her lips gently together as she looked at Cameron. "Thank you, Cameron."
Cameron smiled warmly. Then, suddenly remembering something, he asked, "By the way, Dr. Smith, you mentioned before that if you accompanied me to the class reunion, you'd tell me a secret about Colonel Bailey and me. What is it?"
"Uh..." Tara was caught off guard by Cameron's recollection of the matter and hesitated. She was unable to respond immediately.
"That... I'll tell you after the class reunion," Tara said, waving her hand somewhat guiltily.
"You're not tricking me, are you?" Cameron raised an eyebrow at Tara's reaction.
"How could I! Am I that kind of person?" Tara's eyes danced.
"Oh?" Cameron remained skeptical.
"Why are you looking at me like that? If I said there is one, then there definitely is!" Tara glared at Cameron as she tried to mask her nervousness.
Cameron laughed and decided not to press further.
"Hey, what's with that look? I really didn't lie to you!"
"We've arrived at the restaurant, Dr. Smith," Cameron said.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up in front of the Lunar Crest Restaurant. Tara collected herself as they both exited the car.
They took the elevator to private room number 3008. Inside, about thirty people were gathered around a large round table, lavishing praise on Danny Shaw, who sat at the front.
"Danny, it's been a few years. Now you're finally a boss! Your real estate business must be booming, right?" one of them said.
"Hehe, it's okay, just a profit of two or three million dollars a year," Danny replied as he feigned modesty.
He wore a designer suit, carried a black Hermes briefcase and wore a Rolex gold watch. Every detail of his attire screamed success.
"Two or three million dollars! That's our Danny!" another exclaimed.
