Cameron's face went through a whole spectrum of colors, from ghostly pale to a deep flush in no time. Nathalie couldn't help but feel a smug sense of satisfaction at the sight of his deflated expression.
As he touched his burning cheek, the sharp sting jolted Cameron back to reality, making him realize just how harsh he'd been with Nathalie. Regret tugged at him. "I'm sorry."
Nathalie shot back with a sarcastic grin, "Cameron, are you having a split personality moment or what? One second, you're throwing insults; the next, you're apologizing. With mood swings like that, maybe you should check yourself into a mental health clinic."
Cameron was taken aback; he'd never seen Nathalie look at him with such disdain or use such cutting words. Had things between them really gone beyond repair?
"Nathalie, just take it easy. I'll come by another time." Cameron couldn't bear to be in the same room with her anymore. Her words pierced him with shame.
He wanted to bolt, but Nathalie wasn’t about to let him off easy. "Cameron, I didn’t expect you to still have the nerve to stand here."
Cameron stiffened, his expression darkening as he looked at her. "Nathalie, are you clinging to Nathan just to get back at me? You're underestimating me and overestimating him. That kid's no match for me."
Nathalie chuckled, "Cameron, having confidence is great, but don't fool yourself. You're only standing tall in the Capital once again because of your mom's retirement fund."
Cameron's face went ashen. "Nathalie, don’t get too smug. In the end, it's the winner who laughs last."
"I'll be watching."
