As soon as Serena entered the store, Camryn heard her footsteps. She turned to face Serena with a smile.
“You have really good ears.”
Serena put a box of pastries in front of Camryn and said, “I passed by a bakery and bought several boxes of freshly baked pastries. I tasted them and thought that they were delicious, so I got you a box.”
Camryn did not refuse and thanked her with a smile.
She also liked to eat desserts, as they were the key to a woman’s heart.
“Camryn, I’m here to get the bouquet I ordered.”
Camryn smiled and said, “It’s ready for you.”
She got up to fetch the bouquet that had been wrapped long ago and handed it to Serena.
Serena took the bouquet. “Thanks.”
“I should be the one to say thank you. You always support my business.”
Serena looked at her and felt that Camryn seemed to be a little thinner. She asked, “Camryn, have your not been eating properly recently? I think you’ve lost some weight. Are your aunts still bothering you?”
“They won’t give up, but they can’t gain anything from me either.”
It had been two months since Camryn’s mother went to jail. Camryn had already asked Dalton to take over Newman Enterprise.
“Yesterday, I just fired my aunts‘ sons. They gathered some people in the office and made a fuss. It had a negative impact on the company.”
Camryn’s cousins relied on their relationship with their uncle to dominate Newman Enterprise. For the sake of his two sisters, Mr. Newman often turned a blind eye.
Camryn would not spoil them.
They wanted a share of Newman Enterprise, so Camryn would not keep them. Thus, she seized the opportunity to fire all her cousins from Newman Enterprise.
If her guess was correct, her two aunts would soon come to trouble her again.
However, Camryn was not afraid of them.
“Just fire them if they’re incompetent. There’s no need to consider blood relationships. They weren’t nice to you in the first place.
Serena knew all about what Camryn’s aunts did to Camryn.
Amy and Brenda could not stand the sight of Camryn doing well.
Camryn had already taken control of Newman Enterprise. Serena was aware of that because Zack told her about it.
Camryn knew that her little tricks were obvious to the eyes of the Yorks. She did not hide anything deliberately when she talked to Serena.
She said, “No one can snatch the things that belong to my brother and I.”
Camryn would not take everything from the Newman family. She would pass her brother’s share to him after he was old enough to manage it.
As for Carrie, Camryn never thought of her.
“Let us know if you need help. We’ll help however we can.”
“Thank you. I can still manage for now. Dal is helping me out too.” There was Callum too.
Camryn wanted to free herself from Callum desperately. She did not want to owe him a favor, but she had to admit that she would have more trouble if she did not have him backing her. In the end, she still owed him a big favor.
That guy was becoming a bigger bully. He was keeping her on a tight leash.
Camryn felt powerless against him.
“Callum can help you too.”
Camryn did not say a word.
Speak of the devil.
Callum arrived at the florist.
He was holding a bouquet, but it was not real flowers. It was a bouquet made of hundred–dollar bills.
Seeing that her brother–in–law had come, Serena said to Camryn, “Camryn, I have to deliver my flowers. Let’s talk again another day.”
“Okay.”
Camryn had heard the familiar sounds of Callum’s footsteps too. She forced herself to see Serena off calmly.
“Serena,” Callum called out.
“Hey, your brother’s still at the office, right?”
Callum replied, “Yes, he is. I got off work early.”
Serena smiled She told Camryn that she did not have to see her off. She got into her car and left.
Callum only handed the money bouquet into Camryn’s arms after his sister–in–law left.
“This is for you.”
“I have lots of flowers in my shop. I don’t need you to give me flowers.”
Camryn was about to return the money flowers to Callum.
“Give it a touch. My bouquet is different from the flowers in your shop.”
Camryn instinctively touched the flowers. After feeling it, she was even more determined to refuse the bouquet.
She did not lack money anymore.
He did not have to give her money in the name of giving her a bouquet of dollar bills.
“If you refuse, I’ll throw it into the trash can.”
Camryn was speechless.
“If you refuse the flowers, it means that you think my bouquet isn’t big enough. I’ll prepare a bigger one for you until you’re willing to accept it.”
Camryn’s expression darkened. “Callum, you’re so shameless.”
“I’m shameless, and I’ve decided to cling to you. What can you do about this?”
Camryn had no words..
If she were not blind, she would definitely have kicked him.
What a bully.
“You’ve always been described as gentle and cultured, Mr. Callum.”
“That’s what other people think. How many people involved in the business world are truly well- mannered? They’re all cruel and heartless. Moreover…”
Callum approached Camryn. He was about to kiss her pretty lips. He said hoarsely, “Being shameless is the only effective way to handle you.”
Camryn was so angry that she wanted to beat him up.
“Camryn.”
Callum’s gaze on her red lips was getting more passionate.
Camryn could not see, but she could feel the changes in him.
His voice became raspier when he called her name.
He was thinking of taking advantage of her again,
Upon realizing that, Camryn quickly stepped back.
She had the huge bouquet of money flowers the bully forcefully gave her.
She moved further backward hastily, and she knocked into a flower pot.
When Camryn was about to fall, a pair of strong, huge hands rescued her.
Callum quickly encircled her waist and pulled her back into his embrace.
It felt good when his empty arms surrounded a soft, warm body.
Upon regaining her composure. Camryn started resisting. She exclaimed softly, “Let me go, Callum.”
There were still employees in her store.
The two store assistants and two bodyguards were all watching the street. They did not see what Mr.York had done.
