However, upon arriving at the office entrance, Camila’s assistant informed him that their general manager had not come to work today.

This left him slightly puzzled.

At this moment, a familiar voice rang out from behind him.

“Clayton Howard?”

Seeing him, Emily Walker, who was actually on her way to the general manager’s office to fetch documents, was also somewhat surprised.

Clayton turned around, and when he saw her, he still bowed respectfully, “Young Madam.”

Emily smiled, well aware that he and Camila were now dating.

“You should stop calling me ‘Young Madam’ from now on, just like Camila does, call me Emily,” she said. After all, he was a few years older than her.

Clayton paused slightly; clearly, the Young Madam knew something, otherwise she wouldn’t suddenly let him call her by her first name.

He smiled faintly, “The Young Madam jests.”

“Where do I seem to be jesting? You may have to respectfully address Baron Stuart as ‘Young Master’ in front of him, but not in front of me!” Emily said with a laugh. On the surface, although Clayton was Baron Stuart’s subordinate, having known him for so many years, they could actually be considered friends. Now, with his relationship with Camila, who knows, perhaps they might even become relatives in the future!

“By the way, what brings you here?” It was working hours now, shouldn’t he be by Baron Stuart’s side at this time? Why would he come to the Walker Group?

Could it be that he was here to see Camila?

But she is sick today, does he not know that?

Clayton pressed his lips together for a moment; if the Young Madam was aware of his relationship with Camila, then he naturally had no need to hide it.

Because he knew the Young Madam’s character well.

“Linda had an accident and is currently in the hospital; I came here to apply for her sick leave,” he explained.

Hearing that Linda was hospitalized, Emily was somewhat surprised. However, her thoughts were not on this matter. She spoke with a teasing tone, “Applying for Linda’s leave isn’t done here, you know. This floor is Camila’s office floor!”

Detecting the teasing in her voice, Clayton couldn’t help but clear his throat, feeling shy in public for the first time, “I heard she didn’t come to the company today.”

Emily raised her eyes, looking at him with a slightly surprised expression, she asked back, “Camila is sick with a high fever, didn’t you know?”

Upon hearing this, Clayton felt a jolt in his heart, “Sick?”

“Yes, she didn’t come to the company today. I called home and my mother told me.”

As soon as he learned that she was ill, something in Clayton’s chest seemed to twist tightly, but on the surface, he still pretended to be nonchalant and simply nodded to Emily, “Young Madam, please excuse me.”

Watching his retreating figure, Emily curved her lips into a faint smile.

She wondered if Clayton would take this opportunity to visit her home and formally reveal his and Camila’s relationship to her parents!

.

In front of the Walker Family’s gate, Clayton sat in the driver’s seat, staring at the luxury villa towering outside the car window, unsure whether he should get out at this moment and ring the front doorbell.

He hadn’t seen her all day long; his thoughts and heart were filled with her. Now that he knew she was sick, he was even more restless and wished he could rush up to her room on the second floor!

But, given his current status and position, how was he to ring that doorbell, how to notify her parents, how to make their relationship public?

Sitting in the car for a very long time, until the cigarette between his fingers had entirely burned out, ultimately, he started the car, preparing to leave the Walker villa…
