Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 12

She strode away, her back straight and unwavering, ignoring the assistant's words as if they were nothing more than a breeze.

Matt was baffled by the suitcase and credit card she thrust at him. He couldn't help but ask, "Ma'am, what's all this?"

Nellie struggled to keep her voice cool and detached, "I don't need the rest. Toss it all."

Matt was taken aback. He understood she could buy new clothes abroad, but what about the credit card? How was she supposed to manage without it?

"Ma'am, you really should hold onto the credit card," he urged.

With a reluctant nod, Nellie took the card back, clearly not thrilled about it.

Matt let out a sigh of relief. Seriously, who says no to money?

He walked with Nellie to the international airport's security checkpoint. "Ma'am, this is as far as I can go. Please take care of yourself over there," he said.

But Nellie paid his words no mind and headed towards the checkpoint with not an ounce of hesitation.

Watching her leave, he felt a swirl of emotions. He noticed how her steps seemed almost weightless, yet she moved with such purpose. It was like she couldn't get away fast enough.

Just as she was about to vanish from sight, Nellie did something that left him utterly shocked—she tossed Cameron's credit card right into a trash bin.

Matt was floored.

It hit him then—was this her way of drawing a line with Cameron? Had she finally reached her limit, realizing her standing in his life, and decided to walk away for good?
