"What's with that face?" Sherlyn snapped when she saw Nina was frowning, "Which article are you reading?"
Nina pointed at her computer screen with her pale finger and said weakly, "The first one."
Sherlyn was speechless.
Nina explained, "I have to attend a brand activity in Hazelton in a few days. I said I would meet him there."
Sherlyn almost exploded in exasperation.
She snapped her laptop shut and turned to Nina. "Oh, you guys just can't get enough of each other, can you? Then the list is useless.
Come on, tell me. What's your plan?"
Nina coughed. "I don't have one. I'm the passive one."
Nina was indeed the passive one in her relationship with Cameron. It was Cameron who made her get the marriage license with him. Cameron certainly wouldn't agree to avoid meeting each other for the time being.
Nina finally realized that Cameron always got what he wanted.
In Sherlyn's mind, Nina was a tough and self-assured woman. The fact that Nina was the passive one in the relationship came as a surprise to her. And because of that, all the rules she listed had become strings of meaningless words.
Nina and Cameron definitely wouldn't stick to the plan. Sherlyn had to make compromises.
Sherlyn heaved a long sigh. "I can't help you then."
The only person who might be able to turn things around was Cameron himself.
Nina grabbed Sherlyn's hand and said, "Please help. I'll do whatever you tell me to do. Just tell me about your plan."
Sherlyn waved her hands. "No, don't do that. Cameron will kill me."
Before she knew that Cameron was the mysterious founder of Camcien Lifetech, Sherlyn thought she could manipulate him easily. Now that his true identity was out in the open, she had to tread carefully.
She couldn't afford to mess with him.
Nina fell silent, staring at Sherlyn hopelessly.
Who could say no to that gorgeous face?
Sherlyn's heart softened. "Fine. You can meet him at the event. But be careful. You can't let anyone find out. Also, make sure you tell him about the plan. Try not to meet up for the time being. Can you do that?"
Nina sighed. "Okay, I'll try my best."
She was not sure that she could convince Cameron.
Sherlyn added, "Your agenda has been posted online. Paparazzi will be everywhere. If you two got caught on camera at your hotel, your career will be over."
Nina said, "But Cameron is not famous or anything. Paparazzi don't really care about him, right?"
"Have you seen the news?" Sherlyn rolled her eyes. Was Nina really unaware of how rich and handsome Cameron was? Was she playing dumb?"
Sherlyn continued, "Your past relationship has made headline. Now, everyone knows Cameron is you rex-boyfriend. If you two are seen staying in the same hotel, people will suspect that you have gotten back together."
"Then, should I tell him to be more discreet when he is out?" Nina felt that she was conducting some sort of espionage mission.
