Chapter 113

"What does this woman want?" Cameron's heart tightened.

Dakota grew nervous again at the question. She suspected Laura's sudden inquiry stemmed from Madison's recent comments. She hurriedly explained, "Ms. Jones, Cameron and I are just friends. We're not what Madison said. Please don't misunderstand."

Laura smiled gently, looking at the nervous Dakota. "Don't worry, I didn't misunderstand. Before choosing you as a partner, I thoroughly investigated both of you. Working with you means I trust you. I was simply curious. If you don't wish to explain, there's no need."

Dakota breathed a sigh of relief. Laura was merely curious about her relationship with Cameron. Relaxing, she said, "Ms. Jones, thank you for trusting me. Cameron and I are just friends."

Laura smiled slightly. "Well, you must be very good friends, then. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned about you and accompany you here, would he?"

Dakota's face flushed slightly, though she quickly recovered. Laura, however, noticed. She sensed Dakota had feelings for Cameron.

"Ms. Jones, we have a good relationship, and he takes care of me a lot," Dakota said, lightly biting her lip.

Could Laura have noticed something?

"Is that so? That's good." Laura then asked, "How did you two meet?"

"We"

Cameron interrupted, his voice subdued. "Ms. Jones, is it really appropriate to inquire about other people's private matters like this?"

Dakota's heart stirred as she looked at him. What happened to him all of a sudden? Laura hadn't asked anything overly intrusive.

Laura's eyes flickered. Looking at Cameron, she sensed caution directed at her and concern for Dakota in his gaze. He feared she might damage his relationship with Dakota.

Laura sighed inwardly, feeling a mix of melancholy and relief. She was relieved that Dakota was genuinely gentle and kind. The thought of such a companion by Cameron's side in the coming days reassured her.

Chapter 115

"You must be Cameron, right? Ms. Jennings is a very nice person. You should cherish her and not let her slip away," Laura said with a smile, pretending not to recognize him and choosing to push things forward.

Cameron's eye twitched. What was this woman up to? Was she trying to make things worse?

Laura knew he misunderstood her, and bitterness welled up inside her. It was partly her fault; since that incident, Cameron had completely lost trust in her. She understood his feelings.

Peggy ground her teeth, glaring at Cameron with barely concealed animosity. What was the relationship between this bastard and Laura? Why was Laura always bending over backward for him?

Dakota sensed something was amiss. She looked from Cameron to Laura and Peggy, her brows furrowing slightly.

At that moment, she inexplicably felt Laura and Cameron's relationship was more than ordinary; they seemed to have known each other previously. This should be a good thing, but why did Cameron pretend not to recognize Laura?
