218 Genius 218: Sobbing Camille

Genius 218:

At the Su Villa… 

After Kirby parked the car, Evan didn't move. He stayed sitting at the backseat while his eyes were staring at the main door ahead blankly. 

He let out a few sighed. Before, he always left his office early so he could go home but now, he needed to wait until dinner to come home. 

Just the thought of going home without Daniella was too much for him to handle. He missed her so much, but he will have to wait, wait until she fulfilled what she should fulfil. 

He looked at his phone who still had Daniella's photo with Selena. His niece and cousin didn't know the situation yet and he was certain that the girl will be heartbroken. 

Leaning his head against the soft seat of the car, Evan closed his eyes. 

He was frightened by his own decision. A lot of things can happen but this was the best thing he could do for her. 

A knock on the windshield made his eyes open. Evan looked aside and darkness overtook his feature to see Camille smiling widely at him. 

He knew that Camille was attracted to him. Before meeting Daniella, he was certain that he will end up with her but everything changed. A lot of things changed after meeting her. 

He stayed staring at her with a flat face, he didn't want to open the door, a heavy feeling was turning him into a statue. 

Then the door opened, and Camille got in without an invitation. 

She wrapped a hand around his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. 

Hm… She sniffed his scent and felt satisfied. This was the Evan she fell in love with. He always had this frown which made him look mature.  

Her eyes gloomed for a moment. When Daniella was around, she didn't see the Evan that she grew up with. He was so different, he had a vibe of Glen, so light and so free. 

\"Camille.\" 

When he called her name with his baritone voice, Camille smiled. Instead of responding, she buried her face deeper on his shoulder. 

Evan moved aside and placed a hand on her forehead pushing her away. 

\"I made a deal with your father. I will marry you and  in exchange, he will sell me his shares.\" 

Camille's smile remained on her lips. She knew the truth and she didn't mind it at all. 

\"It's alright. Once we are married and have kids, you will learn to love me again.\" 

Evan's eyebrows creased, \"there's no again Camille because I have never loved you. We were intimate but I made it clear that I don't have feelings for you.\" 

Camille felt as if cold water was splashed on her body, her smile froze and it slowly cracked, shifting her expression into a frown. 

\"What-\" she stuttered and had a hard time finding the next word to say. She was simply speechless. All the years she spent fantasizing him, and all the effort she did to get his affection was all wasted. 

She clenched the hems of her shirt. She spent hours in front of the mirror perfecting her face, she knew that she was beautiful but every time she thought of Daniella's face, she will immediately remove her makeup and reapply it. 

\"I will never love you. I won't even try and I want you to know that.\" 

Evan opened the door in his side and got off of the car. He knew that he hurt her with his words but he preferred to tell her now than to give her false hope. 

Camille remained in the car shocked by Evan's confession. Her eyebrows waggled with confusion while her eyes became hot. Soon, beads of tears fell from her glossy eyes, faint sobs left her parted lips, heart shattered into tiny pieces. 

Her sobs became louder by the time passed, she felt as if a huge palm was crushing her heart, she couldn't breathe. 

She blew out a loud breath and her chest rose and fell with the rapid breath, she tried to calm her nerves but every time Evan's words played in her mind, she couldn't help but cry even more. 

The sound of a woman crying in the car has made Kirby who was sitting in the driver seat bit his lips. He wanted to open the door and leave the car but he was afraid to make a sound. 

He gulped repeatedly, the car was cold but big pieces of sweat were on his forehead. He really wanted to escape the place, if he was a bubble he would probably poke himself so he can disappear. 

Camille sniffed and buried her face onto her palm, her sobs went louder as she thought of her future with Evan. 

How can she make him fall for her again if he never loved her before, there won't be a second chance if there was no first. It was just her all the time, dreaming about her future with him.  

How can she make him fall for her if he said it clearly that he will never and won't even try? 

Her shoulders shook as she cried louder. It was so painful, too much pain. 

When Kirby saw Camille covering her face, he immediately opened the door but before his feet could even step outside his phone suddenly buzzed. 

He froze, and then looked down at the phone next to the gear stick where he placed it earlier. 

He blinked repeatedly. As he looked at the rearview mirror, he found Camille glaring at him. 

\"GET OUT OF HERE!\" Camille shouted at him. 

Kirby immediately picked up his phone and decided to leave but before he could get up from his seat, he felt something car on his head. 

His eyes twitched in pain, he looked down at his lap to check what hit him and to his surprise, it was a woman shoe. Seemed like Camille threw a shoe at him. 

He was about to complain when Camille slammed the door open and stormed out of the car. 

Shocked, all Kirby could do was to scratch his head. 

\"Aish! I miss Ms Daniella. She's prettier and well-mannered compare to Ms Male.\" 

-- 

At the warehouse.  

Robert rose a brow as he and the others exited the warehouse. Daniella decided to stay inside while waiting for the ambulance she called herself. Seemed like she's really back to being herself. She didn't want them to die, that's why she called the ambulance to pick them up. 

Scott placed a hand on Robert's shoulder and pointed at the SUV parked a few meters away from them. 

\"Should we use that car?\" Scott asked. They believed it was owned by Roman Lee. 

Robert nodded his head. 

\"Yes, Daniella said we can sell the parts of this car later.\" 

Scott's lips curled upward by that response. Indeed the old Daniella was back and he can't wait to work with her again. He just realized how boring his life was without her. 

\"well, I guess we should go. The ladies injuries need to be treated.\" 

Scott walked past Robert but he stopped when the latter called out his name. 

\"Go first Scott, I need to deal with Evan.\" 

Worried rushed over Scott's face upon hearing it. Daniella clearly said not to touch Evan but seemed like Robert was ready to defy her. 

\"We can do it later. Daniella is pretty pissed right now. I don't think we should do it.\" 

Robert narrowed his eyes and frowned at him. 

\"I am not asking you to come with me, Scott. I will go there alone.\" 

Scott blew out a sigh, Robert can be sometimes stubborn. 

\"I will come with you. I also want to hit that assh*le.\" 

A faint smile flashed on Robert's lips. Scott was indeed his friend. 

\"Irene-\" Robert was about to speak and instruct Irene to bring the two ladies to the hospital when the three women raised their hands in the air asking him to shut up  

\"We are coming. I don't care how injured we are, we will smash the face of the jerk until he regrets breaking my Daniella's heart,\" Jenna fiercely stated. 

\"yeah right,\" Irene agreed, she took a step forward and continued, \"if he didn't show up to her life, Daniella would have been my girlfriend now.\" 

Robert and Scott rose a brow by Irene's remarks. They just shook their heads and headed towards the car. 

As they walked, Claire wrapped each hand around Scott and Robert's arm. Determination on her face, she led the way and said, \"I feel like we are smurf and Evan is the evil Gargamel,\" she giggled playfully while the two men gave her an awkward smile.
