As Cami held on to Lucius'' arm, the reporters shouted over each other to get a statement from her.
Of course, they all wanted to know, why did one of Cedric Reyes'' most loyal soldiers go over someone else''s side???
It was no secret that Lucius Ting and his Arch Group were apetitor of Mor Co., which Cami was in charge of. So it was huge news to see her on his arm while Cedric was at the other end of town weing theirtest partners.
Despite all the questions that the reporters were shouting, Cami tuned them out and simply focused on walking up to the bar with Lucius.
"He will fire you from Mor Co. for sure after this." Lucius whispered as they entered the bar.
"He isn''t that petty, plus he has a reputation he needs to protect. As long as I do well in Mor Co. then he won''t fire me." Cami said with a shrug as the doors closed behind them.
"You haven''t gone to the office in months." Lucius pointed out with a raised eyebrow.
"You''ve been spying on me?" Cami asked.
"You didn''t know?" Lucius asked her back, making Camiugh.
"Of course I knew." Cami scoffed as she let Lucius lead them to the VIP section of the bar. "I''ve been working remotely. Cedric allows me as long as I bring in the money." She exined.
"And here I was expecting he would be an extremely traditional businessman." Lucius Tingmented as heughed at his own ignorance.
"If he were a traditional businessman, using traditional practices, the Reyes Group would have long sumbed to newer, more innovativepanies." Cami said with augh. "He is very smart and not easy to defeat."
"Are you telling me I can''t take him down?" Lucius asked his girlfriend with a smirk.
"No." Cami said, shaking her head as she felt Lucius'' arm wrap around her waist. She was so tempted to p his hand away but she resisted the urge. She had to keep up appearances.
"You are being very confusing, Cami." Lucius said in a stern tone as he pulled her closer to him.
"You need to think outside of the box to beat Cedric, and sometimes even those that think outside the box like my brother still don''t make it." Cami said with a frown as she tried to act the part of the broken hearted sister.
"I''m sorry, my question reminded you about Aiden." Lucius said as he lifted her chin and looked her in the eyes.
"It''s alright." Cami said as she pretended to stop the tears from falling.
"I swear to you Cami, I avenge your brother." Lucius said as he gently stroked her cheek.
Cami closed her eyes and leaned on to Lucius'' hand. They stood like that for a moment as she tried to sell how hurt she was in terms of Aiden''s death.
"Sir, your guests are waiting for you." Called out a voice that Cami recognized to be one of Lucius'' staff members.
"Sorry." Cami said in a sad tone as she tried to seem apologetic for dying him.
"Nothing is more important than you now." Lucius said as he nted a kiss on Cami''s lips.
When they pulled away Cami smiled up at Lucius who smiled back down at her.
"Is my brother there already?" Cami asked Lucius'' employee.
"Yes Miss." The staff member said. "He arrived a few minutes before you, he is waiting at your table."
"Thank you, you may go." Lucius said.
Lucius took Cami''s hand in his as he quickly walked towards their table.
"What''s the rush?" Cami asked as she tried to catch up with him while she was in heels.
"There is someone I am excited for you to meet." Lucius told her as they finally reached his table.
Cami saw her brother ring at a very pretty young woman. Benedict frowned as he looked at her, it was clearer that Benedict knew this person and was not happy to see her there.
"You know each other?" Lucius asked Benedict and the woman.
"Our paths have crossed in the past." Benedict said as he continued to re at the woman across him.
"Great, so I don''t need to introduce you." Lucius said with a smile as he pulled Cami closer to his side.
"Who is this?" The woman asked in a disguised tone.
"Someone ten times your worth." Benedict interrupted.
Cami gave her brother a confused look as he continued to re daggers at the woman.
"I''ll exin at home." Benedict told her as he kept his eyes on the woman.
"So is this your new y thing, Lucius?" The woman asked as she eyed Cami from head to toe, judging every inch of her.
"She isn''t, I''m serious about her." Lucius said as he wrapped a protective arm around Cami''s shoulder.
"Lucius, it''s fine." Cami said with a frown, pretending that the woman had offended her. She pushed Lucius''s arm off and walked over to sit next to her brother.
"Cami, please, no it''s not like that." Lucius said, practically begging Cami not to misunderstand the situation.
"She''s clearly someone important to you, Lucius." Cami said as she looked at the woman. "You were so excited to introduce us and yet the moment sheys eyes on me she assumes I''m just one of your ythings? How many ythings do you even have Lucius?" Cami questioned.
"Oh shit, this is her?" The woman said with a gasp as she suddenly realized that Cami wasn''t just some eye candy that Lucius had brought along to the party.
Benedictughed at the woman''s expression as hir face paled.
"I warned you." Benedict said as he continued tough.
"Shut up, how do you even know her, you worthless piece of shit." The woman cussed.
"Benedict is Cami''s brother." Lucius said.
"Yeah, nice one, his sister is dead." The woman said as she rolled her eyes at Lucius.
Clearly this woman had been quite close with Benedict, confusing Cami even further.
"Nope, she''s alive." Benedict said, shaking his head. "And this is her."
"Cami, meet Louisse, my strategist and sister." Lucius quickly said before Benedict could say anything to make things worse.
"Oh." Cami said as she looked at Louisse. "I didn''t know you had a sister."
"My parents had a daughter after they adopted me, she''s even younger than you." Lucius said with a shrug.
Cami looked at Benedict as he shook his head.
"Don''t look at me, I didn''t know she had a brother." Benedict confessed to Cami.
Cami cursed in her head, this did not show up in any of their investigations, how could Lucius have a secret sister that did not show up in any documents?
