Chapter 28
“Dakota, now that the contract has been signed, do you feel a little
more relaxed?” Cameron asked with a smile as they walked toward
the company’s parking lot.
“Yeah.”
Dakota nodded slightly, but her face lacked the expected joy and instead appeared somewhat downcast.
“Are you still thinking about what happened earlier?” Cameron
inquired.
“Yeah,” Dakota said as she nodded again, her tone filled with guilt.
“I didn’t expect to see Maddy here. She misunderstood me, but I didn’t
get a chance to explain. And now it has ended up affecting you as well. I’m really sorry.” She continued, “When I get back later, I’ll explain
everything to her clearly.”
“Do you think she’ll listen?” Cameron said coldly as he shook his
head. “Have you forgotten how she spoke to you earlier?”
Cameron knew Madison well. She was not only selfish but also very
self-centered. Once she had made up her mind about something, she
wouldn’t listen to explanations from anyone else. Dakota’s attempt to
reach out to her might just lead to more frustration.
“Regardless, I’ll give it a try.”
Dakota let out a sigh. She didn’t want this incident to cause a rift in
the relationship between her and Madison, and she certainly didn’t
want Cameron to suffer because of it.
Seeing Dakota’s concern over her relationship with Madison,
Cameron nodded his head and encouraged her. “If this relationship is
really important to you, then you can try to explain things to her. No
matter what the outcome is, I’ll stand by your side.”
His words made Dakota suddenly come to a halt.
“What’s wrong, Dakota?”
Cameron also stopped walking and turned to look at Dakota.
“It’s nothing,” Dakota said, shaking her head. She looked up at
Cameron, gazing into his deep and starry eyes.
“Thank you, Cameron!” she said sincerely.
“There’s no need to be so polite to me,” Cameron said, smiling. Then,
he waved his hand and continued, “Let’s head back.”
However, Dakota suddenly thought of something and asked, ”
Cameron, will Lord Blackheart come back after he leaves Yra ?”
“Do you need his help with something?” Cameron replied, looki
Dakota.
“No, I was just asking. I’m worried that Archie will seek revenge
you…” Dakota said, her gaze flickering slightly.
Cameron noticed her concern and smiled gently.
“Don’t worry, someone like Archie can’t do anything to me. Besides,
Lord Blackheart will only be away for a few days. He’s going to take
care of some important matters for some big shot. He should be
back soon.”
“That’s good.” Dakota let out a sigh of relief and continued, “I hope I can clear up the misunderstanding with Maddy soon. Then, maybe
the misunderstanding between you and her can also be resolved.”
“It’s definitely possible,” Cameron encouraged her.
Dakota let out a hum of agreement as she nodded firmly.
Later that evening, after Dakota returned home, she took out her
phone and sent a message to Madison.
“Maddy, are you still angry? What happened today was really a
misunderstanding. I didn’t know that you and Archie were also
interested in that project. My family isn’t in a great situation right
now, and I really needed that contract.”
She continued, “Also, my relationship with Cameron isn’t what you think. We’re just ordinary friends. Please don’t hate him anymore.”
After she sent the message, Madison quickly replied. Dakota took a deep breath and opened the reply nervously.
“Dakota, I believe you. I also want to apologize to you for what
happened this afternoon. I was too emotional at the time and said
some hurtful things. I hope you won’t take them to heart.”
Seeing Madison’s reply, Dakota let out a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, Maddy. Thank you for believing in me, and thank you for understanding me!” Dakota replied happily.
“There’s no need to thank me. We’re best friends, after all!”
Madison continued, “By the way, my birthday is the day after
tomorrow. I plan to hold a party at Star Sea Karaoke. You have to be
there!”
As Dakota typed those words, she sneered in her heart.
Dakota, oh Dakota, how should I put it? Should I say that you are
naive or that you are stupid? You stole my Archie’s project and got involved with my ex-husband. Do you really think that you can just say
it was a misunderstanding and wipe the slate clean?
