Chapter 116
"Cameron, you must have seen the photo that fell out of Ms. Jones's bag earlier, right?" Dakota said as they rode the elevator downstairs.
Cameron nodded.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed Ms. Jones had been in love. And judging by her appearance, it's obvious she was head over heels, like any other young girl!" Dakota exclaimed, launching into gossip. "Cameron, who do you think the man in the photo is?"
Cameron smirked. "I'm not sure. Probably someone from a prominent family."
"I don't think so," Dakota shook her head.
"Hmm?" Cameron raised an eyebrow. "How did you figure that out?"
"It's simple—his attire. Those scions from Leving don't dress so modestly," Dakota said. She was even more curious. What kind of guy could have caught Laura's eye?
"Heh, well, I'm not sure about that," Cameron shook his head.
"Cameron, do you think Ms. Jones is still in contact with that guy?" Dakota continued, oblivious to Cameron's stiff expression.
"Um… I don't think so," Cameron replied.
"Indeed, but I'm guessing that person must be Ms. Jones's first love, and she still can't forget him," Dakota said, her tone tinged with regret. It was a seemingly offhand remark, but it shook Cameron's heart. He asked, "How did you figure that out?"
"It's simple. Ms. Jones is still keeping the photo; it's a memento of their memories. That's the best proof."
"But didn't you hear Laura say she's keeping the photo because she thinks she looks good in it?" Cameron furrowed his brows slightly.
"Well, you men are really clueless. You don't understand a woman's heart at all," Dakota sighed and shook her head. "What Ms. Jones said was obviously just an excuse. She didn't want us to overthink after seeing the photo. If a woman doesn't have feelings for someone, it's absolutely impossible for her to keep a photo of them together—let alone carry it with her. This shows how important he is to her."

"What?" Cameron's heart trembled.
"So, now you understand, right? The man in the photo is definitely significant to Ms. Jones," Dakota said, patting her hands together, proud of her analysis.
"Are you sure?" Cameron looked at Dakota with trembling pupils.
"Of course," Dakota replied.
"Are there any other possibilities?" Cameron paused before asking.
"There are, but they're unlikely," Dakota thought for a moment and answered.
"What are they?" Cameron pressed.
"Cameron, why do I feel like you're acting strangely?" Dakota suddenly frowned and scrutinized him.
"Huh? Am I?" Cameron's gaze shifted.
"Yeah!" Dakota nodded heavily. Her eyes narrowed as she considered Cameron's unusual questions. She suddenly stared at him with suspicion. "Cameron, could it be that the man in the photo is you?"
Cameron's heart pounded violently. Did Dakota see through him?
