“So, what's the deal?” Cameron stopped in his tracks and looked at Tara.
He knew she was hiding something from him.
“Kelvin has been buggingto be his girlfriend. I've rejected him overtly and covertly, but he just won't let go.
He organized this party specifically for me, so...” Tara explained.
“So you wantto pretend to be your boyfriend to help you get rid of him?” Cameron asked.
“Yeah.”
Tara nodded.
“Why don’t you just refuse to go then?” Cameron suggested.
“I wish | could, but Kelvin has made it clear that the party is specifically forand has invitedmultiple
times. If | don’t go, it’s like I'm disrespecting him.
“You know of the Zimmer family’s influence in the capital. I'm just a weak and powerless woman, while Kelvin is
arrogant and overbearing,” Tara explained, looking worried.
“I'm afraid my family will be affected because of me.”
“I see.”
Cameron nodded, smiling as he said, “Dr. Smith, you could have toldthis earlier.”
“I was afraid you would refuse.”
Tara bit her lip.

“So you're not afraid I'll just bail out later?”
Cameron raised an eyebrow.
“You won't.”
Tara shook her head.
“You trustthat much?”
Cameron was surprised.
“Yes.”
Tara nodded.
“Well, | can’t let you down now, can I?”
Cameron chuckled.
“So, you agree?”

Tara's eyes lit up.
“Helping you out isn’t impossible, but you'll have to givesomething in return, right?”
Cameron grinned, teasing her a bit.
After all, she had always teased him, especially when she accidentally caused his wound to reopen in the
hospital.
Now, it was his chance for payback.
“What do you want in return?” Tara bit her lip.
“What do you think, Dr. Smith?”
Cameron rubbed his chin, pretending to be mischievous as he scanned Tara's figure.
Tara blushed.
She had a vague idea of what Cameron was implying but still agreed.
“Fine, | agree.”
“You haven't even heard what | want, yet you've agreed?” Cameron was surprised.
“Don’t all you men have that on your minds?” Tara said indifferently.
“So, you agree?”
Cameron raised an eyebrow.
He was surprised at how readily Tara accepted his condition.
“Better to give in to you than to let that jerk Kelvin have his way in the end,” Tara said, her tone
devoid of emotion.
“You hate him that much?” Cameron asked.
“Absolutely. That scumbag has forced so many girls into his bed over the years, and seven ended up getting
abortions because of him. If it weren't for my lack of ability, I'd want to kill him with a pair of scissors!”
Tara gritted her teeth.
“I never thought that he could be so despicable.”

Cameron's gaze turned cold as he said, “In that case, | won't ask for anything in return this time. Let's just
consider it an act of kindness.”
“Really?”
“Of course. Do you think I'm a flirt like you?”
Cameron smiled.

“You're the flirt here,” Tara retorted, her cheeks blushing slightly.
“Givethe tand place,” Cameron said solemnly.
Tara's heart skipped a beat. It seemed she misunderstood Cameron earlier.
“Tomorrow, 8:00 pm, at Platinum Duke Hotel. I'll cto pick you up then.”
Tara's tone softened again.
“Alright, | got it. See you tomorrow.”
Cameron waved his hand and turned to leave.
“Do you needto send you back?” Tara asked.
“No need. | have sother things to take care of. You should go back and look after your grandpa,” Cameron
replied.
“Okay, take care on your way home. See you tomorrow.
Tara waved goodbye.
Tears threatened to pool in her eyes as she watched Cameron walk away.
