Laura reverted to her cold demeanor Acting as though she just remembered something, she said, Me konings, about the photo you just saw, I hope you can keep it a secret for me. It’s the only photo of myself that I think was taken relatively well, so I’ve been keeping it all these years.”
pan’t worry, Als Jones I won’t tell anyone,” Dakota assured her.
“treal “Laura nodded.
However, Cameron’s eyes held a hint of self–mockery. Was it just because this photo captured her well that she had been keeping it all this time?
Laura looked at Cameron’s somewhat self–mocking gaze, and her heart fluttered slightly.
She knew Cameron misunderstood her.
She wanted to tell Cameron what was on her mind, but….
“What photo, Ms. Jones?” Peggy asked. She was standing behind Laura and didn’t see anything.
“Nothing “Laura then turned to Dakota. “Ms. Jennings, t
the contract back and have a look. If there are no issues, you can contact me by phone. My assistant will then arrange to meet you to finalize the last step of the contract.”

in no mood to continue the conversation after being interrupted by the unexpected turn of events. She just wanted to end it as soon as possible.
“Okay, Ms. Jones,” Dakota said, noticing that Laura’s mind was elsewhere. It must be because of the
photo.
It was clear that Laura didn’t want anyone to know about her past romantic experiences. But who was the man in the photo who had managed to capture Laura’s heart?
Well, never mind. She didn’t know him anyway.
Dakota smiled at Cameron after securing the contract. “Cameron, let’s go.”
“Okay.” Cameron nodded, his face clearly showing some preoccupation.
Dakota was slightly surprised but didn’t dwell on it. She assumed that Cameron was also thinking about the photo.
She left the room after saying goodbye to Laura and Peggy.
Cameron followed Dakota out.
His gaze was cold when he passed by Laura.
He didn’t even greet her.
Cameron’s attitude triggered Peggy. She muttered, “What a despicable gry! How rude! He’s really lucky to have met such a knowledgeable and reasonable woman like Ms. Jennings!”
Peggy had an excellent impression of Dakota and felt Cameron was totally unworthy of her!
That cowardly and impolite guy!
“Ms. Jones, did you choose to cooperate with Ms. Jennings this time because of him?” Peggy asked.
“Mmm.” Laura didn’t deny it.
“Ms. Jones, why are you helping him like this? That guy doesn’t appreciate your kindness at all. Honestly, I can’t see what’s so good about him!” Peggy said with a face full of resentment.
Even though she knew Laura might reprimand her, she had to speak her mind.
“There are some things you don’t understand,” Laura responded. “Anyway, it’s something I owe him.
Peggy was taken aback. This guy actually made Laura say such things!
But she really couldn’t see what was outstanding about him!
Peggy walked to the window to see if that damn guy had left the hotel.
As she gazed out, she saw a military green pickup truck parked at the hotel entrance.
It seemed to be Lena’s.
Peggy’s eyes lit up. “Ms. Jones, it looks like Colonel Bailey’s car is parked downstairs.”
“Lena?” Laura furrowed her eyebrows and looked down.
Sure enough, she saw a military green pickup truck, which should be Lena’s.
Didn’t Otis already inform Lena? Why was she still looking for Cameron?
“Let’s go and see,” Laura said as she turned to leave, concern for Cameron evident on her face.
