The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 137 Cameron's Misunderstanding

Allison got to school early the next morning. With Alexander out on a business trip, he had a bodyguard take her to school.

Thanks to the whole Cameron situation, Allison always had a bodyguard with her when she was out. She didn't mind, though it was for her safety. As she walked into the classroom and set her backpack down, she noticed Mia dragging herself in, looking completely wiped out.
