~Camila’s POV~

“Good day, ma’am. We did some research on the Coopers as per your request and uncovered some interesting information about them. And our findings are shocking. I have everything compiled into an email that will be sent to you, including the clips and the information. As per your suspicions, there was more to this than met the eye. It was nice doing business with you.”

I was so terrified that I couldn’t even muster the nerve to respond. I put the phone down and immediately started going through my emails. However, just as I was about to start reading the information, there was a knock at the door. I looked up and ordered the person to come in.

The door was opened by Mark Cooper, who was carrying a bouquet of flowers. I flashed him a grin before speedily closing my laptop and moving closer to him in order to shake his hand.

“Hello, Mark, and thank you very much for coming. I’m curious. To what do I owe this visit?” He flashed me a grin before handing me the flowers.

“Camila.” He breathed out rather very seductively for a business visit. I pushed the idea out of my mind.

“Please have a seat,” I said to him while making a seating motion with my hand to invite him to take a seat.

“Actually, after everything that went down between you and my friend, I didn’t want to show you pity, because I knew that was the last thing you needed. But not all men are like Chris. I’m here to take you out for lunch. Please don’t say no, because I really need to do this for you.” My brows knitted together in concentration as I looked at him.

“You do realize you don’t have to do this to make me feel better, do you?”

“A woman like you doesn’t need pity, Camila. Now come on.”

“Okay.” I picked up my stuff. This morning, I had every intention of getting out of the office as soon as possible. Mark and I went out to the parking lot. Mark stepped in front of me just as I was about to get into my car.

looked at him and then back at my car, letting him know I couldn’t leave it there. “Well, this is a secured underground parking lot, and besides, you own this place, so no one would steal your car.” He had a point, so I followed him to his car; he opened the passenger door for me, and I slid in while he got behind the wheel and drove to the restaurant. We arrived at the restaurant, and he had already booked a table for us. I ordered a drink for myself, and Mark did the same. He gave me a genuine smile as he looked at me.
