Cameron knew Nathalie well, but Lincoln was still a bit of a mystery to him. Suddenly, he felt a twinge of worry, maybe even a touch of sympathy for Nathalie. If the fatherly love she'd been longing for ended up betraying her, that would be just too harsh. Way too harsh.
Greta was eager to get Cameron on her side, so she started painting him a picture of success, with just the right mix of charm and negotiation. “Cameron, you shouldn’t be so negative. I’m Mr. Lincoln’s personal assistant, after all; if anyone’s going to benefit, it’s you. Trust me, I’ll make sure Dawson International gets the best deal possible.”
But Cameron wasn’t buying it. “If Lincoln really trusts you, then why hasn’t Dawson International gotten a fast pass into the new shopping center in town?”
Greta shrugged it off, “Oh, that project was Nathalie’s baby. She blames us for Nathan’s death, so of course, she wouldn’t let Dawson International in easily. But don’t stress, I’ve managed to get Nathalie sent home. She won’t be at the office for a while. The project will be handed off to someone else, and I’ll make sure Dawson International gets a sweet deal.”
Cameron raised an eyebrow, “Does Lincoln really value your opinion so much that he’d sideline Nathalie?”
Greta beamed with pride, “I told you, but you didn’t believe me. My uncle values me way more than Nathalie.”
Cameron replied, “I’ll believe it when you actually deliver for Dawson International.”
Greta clenched her jaw, “Just you watch. I’ll prove it.”
The negotiation ended with a bit of tension in the air.
Upstairs, a small figure stood quietly at the top of the stairs. The child’s face, cloaked in the night, had a pair of deep, mysterious eyes that glinted coldly at Greta.
The next morning.
At the usual morning meeting of Stewart Enterprises, representing the second family was Lincoln.
Regan’s eyes widened in surprise when he saw his nephew. “Lincoln, your health isn’t great. Why don’t you take more time off? What’s the rush to get back to work?”
