Chapter 991: Chapter 991: Learning of the Illness Chapter 991: Chapter 991: Learning of the Illness However, upon arriving at the office entrance, Camila’s assistant inford him that their general manager had not co to work today.
This left him slightly puzzled.
At this mont, a familiar voice rang out from behind him.
“Clayton Howard?”
Seeing him, Emily Walker, who was actually on her way to the general manager’s office to fetch docunts, was also sowhat surprised.
Clayton turned around, and when he saw her, he still bowed respectfully, “Young Madam.”
Emily smiled, well aware that he and Camila were now dating.
“You should stop calling ‘Young Madam’ from now on, just like Camila does, call Emily,” she said. After all, he was a few years older than her.
Clayton paused slightly; clearly, the Young Madam knew sothing, otherwise she wouldn’t suddenly let him call her by her first na.
He smiled faintly, “The Young Madam jests.”
“Where do I seem to be jesting? You may have to respectfully address Baron Stuart as ‘Young Master’ in front of him, but not in front of !” Emily said with a laugh. On the surface, although Clayton was Baron Stuart’s subordinate, having known him for so many years, they could actually be considered friends. Now, with his relationship with Camila, who knows, perhaps they might even beco relatives in the future!
“By the way, what brings you here?” It was working hours now, shouldn’t he be by Baron Stuart’s side at this ti? Why would he co to the Walker Group?
Could it be that he was here to see Camila?
But she is sick today, does he not know that?
Clayton pressed his lips together for a mont; if the Young Madam was aware of his relationship with Camila, then he naturally had no need to hide it.
Because he knew the Young Madam’s character well.
“Linda had an accident and is currently in the hospital; I ca here to apply for her sick leave,” he explained.
Hearing that Linda was hospitalized, Emily was sowhat surprised. However, her thoughts were not on this matter. She spoke with a teasing tone, “Applying for Linda’s leave isn’t done here, you know. This floor is Camila’s office floor!”
Detecting the teasing in her voice, Clayton couldn’t help but clear his throat, feeling shy in public for the first ti, “I heard she didn’t co to the company today.”
Emily raised her eyes, looking at him with a slightly surprised expression, she asked back, “Camila is sick with a high fever, didn’t you know?”
Upon hearing this, Clayton felt a jolt in his heart, “Sick?”
“Yes, she didn’t co to the company today. I called ho and my mother told .”
As soon as he learned that she was ill, sothing in Clayton’s chest seed to twist tightly, but on the surface, he still pretended to be nonchalant and simply nodded to Emily, “Young Madam, please excuse .”
Watching his retreating figure, Emily curved her lips into a faint smile.
She wondered if Clayton would take this opportunity to visit her ho and formally reveal his and Camila’s relationship to her parents!
.
In front of the Walker Family’s gate, Clayton sat in the driver’s seat, staring at the luxury villa towering outside the car window, unsure whether he should get out at this mont and ring the front doorbell.
He hadn’t seen her all day long; his thoughts and heart were filled with her. Now that he knew she was sick, he was even more restless and wished he could rush up to her room on the second floor!
But, given his current status and position, how was he to ring that doorbell, how to notify her parents, how to make their relationship public?
Sitting in the car for a very long ti, until the cigarette between his fingers had entirely burned out, ultimately, he started the car, preparing to leave the Walker villa…
