Chapter 115 Abandonment
Cameron opened WhatsApp.
Bradley: [We agreed yesterday to handle the paperwork today at lunch. Did you forget?
They should have just enough time if they left right after eating. Bradley had already prepared all the necessary documents.
Cameron blinked. She had actually forgotten. This was important. She had no time to worry about Elijah’s feelings now.
She replied to Bradley with a simple OK emoji. Then she looked toward the two still bickering across the table and cut in, “Elijah, how about you help Xander with math today? I’ve got something to take care of.”
“What is it?” Elijah and Xander asked in unison.
“It’s something important,” Cameron answered.
Both of them froze for a second.
Xander leaned toward her, wiggling his eyebrows. “What kind of important thing? Come on, give me a hint.”
“Nope,” Cameron said flatly. She had no intention of sharing. The only reason Bradley knew about this was a fluke. If she had a choice, she would not have told anyone.
Xander scowled at her, clearly annoyed. Cameron ignored him.
Elijah was curious too, but when he saw she did not want to talk about it, he dropped it.
Xander narrowed his eyes at Bradley. “What are you smirking about?”
Bradley casually touched his chin, his smile fading just a bit. “Was I?”
Xander nudged Elijah. “You saw that, right?”
Elijah said, “Brad always looks like he’s smiling.”
Xander groaned. “Talking to you is pointless. Your observation skills suck.”
Elijah paused, slightly stunned. Cameron and Bradley both chuckled at the exchange.
‘Elijah’s always calm and distant, Xander’s loud and restless. Watching them interact is kind of entertaining, they both thought.
Soon, their food arrived. One dish after another was placed on the table, and the four of them finished every last bit of the six dishes and one soup.
Xander set down his fork. “Cameron, told you it wasn’t enough.” Successfully unlocked! and order.”
Cameron simply replied, “If you want more, yo
Elijah put down his fork. “I’m full.”
Bradley added, “Same here.”

Chapter 115 Abandonment
Elijah and Bradley stood up, and Cameron got up with them to settle the bill.
Xander froze for a second, then stood with a scowl. “Fine. Starting today, I’m learning how to be frugal from you.”
They stepped out of the private room. The dining hall had mostly cleared out by then. But two figures were standing by the entrance, clearly waiting for them.
It was none other than Amelia and her close friend, Skyler.
Xander glanced at Cameron and said, “They’re probably here for you.”
Cameron’s expression didn’t change. “I’ve got nothing to do with her anymore. What would they want with me?”
Xander said, “Oh, right. You guys called off the engagement. Poor thing, got dumped.”
Elijah asked, “How do you know Amelia dumped Cameron?”
Xander rolled his eyes. “Isn’t it obvious?”
Bradley said nothing.
The four of them walked toward Amelia and Skyler. Cameron didn’t even glance in their direction and walked straight past them.
Amelia’s eyes briefly landed on Bradley before quickly looking away.
Skyler’s gaze locked on Elijah, her expression dreamy. “Hi, Elijah.”
“Do you need something?” Elijah replied coolly.
Skyler froze. ‘No, I’m just standing here so I can catch a glimpse of you,‘ she thought.
After a moment of thinking, Skyler said, “Yeah. Amy has something she wants to tell you.”
‘If Amelia talks to Elijah for a bit, I’ll get to stare at him a little longer,‘ she thought.
Amelia was momentarily caught off guard.
