Chapter 1009

Hearing Cameron's suggestion, Emily turned to him and growled, "Cameron, you do this every time. The moment I give in a little, you push for more. You keep raising the stakes. You're making me afraid of you. What was wrong with how simple things were before?" Cameron couldn't help but feel helpless. Before he'd met Emily, he'd never taken a woman home. If he had, they probably would've been overjoyed and even lost sleep over how to please him. Emily, on the other hand, was different. She pulled away every time he tried to get closer and deepen their relationship. Yet, the more she resisted, the more he cherished her. Gently squeezing her hand, he replied calmly, "You've been avoiding me for days. Is it too much to ask for you to spend a little time with me?" He hadn't even mentioned that he knew she was looking for a new job behind his back. He hadn't made a fuss. Hearing him say she'd been avoiding him, Emily felt a bit guilty. She'd been dodging him and secretly finding a job.
