Divorced the Cheat Married the Fleet (Camilla and Lance) novel Chapter 323

After work, people were packing up and getting ready to go when a sudden uproar exploded by the entrance. The whole crowd was stopped dead at the door.

A bunch of big men and women, sleeves pushed up and arms crossed, were blocking the exit. No one was getting past them.

Some of the girls who got done early looked scared out of their minds, faces drained of color. “Who are you guys? What are you doing here?”

It was the kind of thing they’d only seen on TV, like those groups of migrant workers demanding their wages during the holidays. But this was a high-end jewelry company, not some shady place that skipped out on paychecks. No one could figure out what this group was after.

“Your boss is Camilla, right?”

“Where is she? Tell her to get out here!”

“She’s already divorced and she still has the nerve to steal someone else’s husband? Today, we want to see for ourselves just how shameless she can be!”

The crowd hurled accusations before Camilla had even shown her face.

The young receptionist frowned. “I think you’ve got the wrong idea. Camilla would never steal someone’s husband. That’s just not who she is.”

“You’re not her so why are you talking? You think with this many people here we could all be wrong?”

“Exactly. Like she’d actually tell you if she was messing around with someone else’s man?”

“Just get your boss out here. If she doesn’t come out, none of you are leaving tonight.”

The group sounded more and more confident, and some of the staff inside started to feel unsure.

Bonnie came out just in time to see the mess. She shot the group a cold look. “Don’t come in here trying to stir up trouble. As far as I know, Camilla’s boyfriend is single. How could she be stealing anyone’s husband?”

“What do you know? We’re not talking to you. Get your boss out here or no one’s leaving.” That came from Davina’s aunt, the loudest of the bunch, and she wasn’t interested in listening to anyone.

These were farm people, strong and stubborn, way tougher than office workers. When they started pushing in, the security guards at the door were completely outmatched.

Davina’s aunt snapped back, “Just listen to her. Wrecks someone else’s marriage and she’s still so arrogant. Don’t you have any shame or manners?”

When the shouting got really nasty, Lance instinctively covered Jasper’s ears. His hand was shaking, his eyes growing cold, but Camilla pulled him to stand behind her and said, “If we’re going to talk about ruining marriages, Davina’s the expert on that. Maybe you should save those words for her.

“My staff needs to get home and I’m not about to waste any more time on this. Move them over there and wait for the police.”

The Blairs might have been strong compared to regular folks, but up against real bodyguards, they stood no chance. They were dragged over to the wall.

By now the employees had caught on. It was all about Barnard. Some rolled their eyes, others just laughed. Someone even called out, “So you’re here for Barnard? That’s rich. Camilla threw that jerk out ages ago. You all might want to check your facts.”

The Blairs glared and kept shouting ugly things, but Camilla calmly encouraged her staff to head home.

The lobby soon cleared out, leaving only Davina’s family and Camilla’s group behind.
