《Hiding Places ✅》20
Advertisement
I leave the tower and threaten John not to follow me, my threat included a punch to the face one I would have much rather given Cameron. I'll apologise to John later. I catch a cab home. On the cab ride I actually rang Connor Cunningham to ask for job at the London office. He simply tells me to take sometime to calm down and call back next week if I still felt the same. Thank god Bas isn't there when I got home because I couldn't have handled his questioning. I'm sitting on the couch watching Once Upon A Time when I get a text from Caleb.
Lunch with Carter had slipped my mind.
Carter. He would be a stable boyfriend.
You weren't attracted to him!
Maybe stable is better.
Argh! Shut up brain!
I'm falling for Cameron and at times it seems like he feels the same. Then he turns around and is a pompous arse.
Having plenty of time I lounge around the apartment snacking on pop tarts and lollies. At eleven I take a shower and change my outfit for lunch before realising Bas has my car.
It isn't long before Carter replies.
Shoving my phone in my bag I make my way down the stairs and outside to wait for Carter. It isn't long before a pick up with 'Wells Construction' on the side appears at the curb.
"You're chariot m'lady" Carter says leaning across to open the passenger door. I hop in and thank him for the ride. He smiles starts the truck and declares, "to the China Garden"
The two of us drive in comfortable silence which is something I liked about spending time with Carter. Five minutes into the drive Carter asks the obvious question.
"So why are you working from home today? Problems with the boss?" I notice he hides a smirk as he talks.

"You could say that. I need time to myself. I do find myself working from home a lot though" Carter looks at me sympathetically and a wave of guilt sweeps over me, "I'm sorry Carter. It is insensitive for me to talk to you about my relationship with Cameron"
"Honey, you can talk to me about whatever. We are friends. I do wish you had chosen me over him but I respect your choice and judgment. However that doesn't mean I don't want to punch him for hurting you and for that time he punched me."
Carter laughs at his words and I find myself laughing with him as we pull up at the China Garden. "Thank you Carter. Since we are a little early do you mind if I check in with my assistant? I can meet you at the bar"
"Sounds perfect I'll see you inside Honey"
I watch Carter walk inside thinking what a nice guy he is. Wow I'm a jerk. I take my phone out of my bag and find my office contact. As I press the phone to my ear I notice a familiar motorbike pass but shake the thought out of my head.
"Miss Genevieve Reynolds' office, Caleb speaking"
"Hi Caleb it is Honey. Anything eventful happen today?"
"Well..."
"What are the assistants gossiping about? Just tell me"
"You storming out of here is still number one on the list but close second would be Mr Cunningham firing his assistant after only three hours on the job"
"He what?"
"Technically he did nothing. He made me deliver the news after you left. Are you ok Honey? Is there anything I can do?"
I decide against probing Caleb for more information about Cameron. Did he fire her for me? Why did he hire her in the first place? God that man is a mystery to me!

"Honey are you there?"
"Sorry Caleb lost in thought. I just arrived at the China Garden with Carter. I think I have everything with me but are you able to email me my notes"
"I'll do it now. You are there early. Has Mr Cunningham arrived?"
"Why would Cameron be here Caleb?"
"He requested the details. He left the tower about twenty minutes ago"
"Genevieve" a voice breathes out from behind me. It was as though Caleb introduced him.
"Caleb I have to go. See you Monday. Take the afternoon off"
"Thanks Honey. You're the best! Say hi to Carter for me"
As I hang up my phone and shove it back in my bag I turn around and meet his gorgeous green orbs.
"How...Why are you here Cameron?"
He looks sad. "You can't hide from me Genevieve. I couldn't stand the idea of you alone with him" he gestures his head towards the door of the restaurant referring to Carter.
"I heard you fired you assistant" I say bluntly.
"She served her purpose" he shrugs his shoulders.
"Which was?"
Cameron looks down submissively. Is he embarrassed at his reasoning? "I wanted to make you jealous" he murmurs still not making eye contact.
"What?" His eyes lock with mine as my voice startles him, "are you kidding me Cameron? Of course I was jealous. Is you head stuck too far up your arse to realise that I like you? I like you Cameron! I thought I made that clear by sleeping with you. I don't sleep with just anyone."
"Genevieve..." he reaches for my hand but I pull it away from him. His hands drop to his sides but he continues. "I have never felt this way about a woman. You challenge me Genevieve. I hate the idea of being away from you for a second. You are mine now. I -"
"Honey. You were taking a while so I thought..." Carter walks out of the restaurant and his eyes rest on Cameron, he looks back and forth between the two of us and I notice him ball his hands into fists. I immediately grab his arm.
"Carter please. It is fine" I say gently stroking his arm. Cameron looks between us with hurt in his eyes. Don't give me the puppy dog eyes I just saved your nose.
"Our table is ready Honey." Carter says turning his attention to me. He looks back at Cameron. "Are you done here?"
Before I have a chance to speak Cameron grabs my hand from Carter's arm. "Genevieve just a few minutes more..." he pleads with me.
"Go back to the office Cameron. I... I will call you" I turn my back on him and follow Carter into the restaurant. This is my job. Cameron played me to make me jealous well two can play it that way.
