Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 88

"If you're just friends, keep an eye on your boundaries and timing. We don't need any unnecessary drama."

When a thought crossed her mind, Nellie suddenly stopped, and slowly turned around. Her eyes were steady and calm, almost eerily so. "Cameron, who's been dragging my name through the mud?" A flicker of guilt flashed in Cameron's eyes. He knew Nellie and Miranda were like oil and water, but he hadn't stopped Miranda from stirring the pot today, letting her gossip hurt Nellie. "Cameron, I'm grateful you once pulled me out of a tough spot. But now, you've tossed me back into the flames. Your favor with me has taken another hit." Nellie's voice was emotionless. Cameron felt a wave of panic wash over him. He'd dipped into his bank of goodwill with Nellie more than once. What would their relationship look like when he'd used it all up?

"This was just a mix-up..." He wanted to explain, but the words just wouldn't come.

Nellie gave him a long look. "My trust in you is hanging by a thread. Cherish what's left."

Cameron's face turned ashen.

The next morning, Nellie was still dreaming when a maid from the Dawson family gently shook her awake. "Ma'am."

Nellie opened her eyes, not hiding her annoyance. "What's up?"
