Chapter 54 Share A Secret With You
Elijah stood by the door and stared at Cameron lying on the carpet, his frown deepening
He thought, ‘Is that okay to leave Cameron alone here? What if something happens?
The image of Cameron sitting on the edge of the rooftop flashed in Elijah’s mind. He thought, He must’ve gone through something. Otherwise, why would he get so drunk? What if I leave and she jumps down the building again??
A hint of concern crossed Elijah’s usually indifferent face. After thinking it over for while, he finally turned around, pickin Cameron up and getting her back onto the bed
After washing up in the bathroom, he grabbed an extra blanket from the wardrobe, laid it on the couch, and decided to make do with the night there.

The next morning, the first light of dawn broke through, and the blinding sunlight flooded the room from the gap in the curtains.
Cameron’s long lashes fluttered, and she slowly woke up, her eyes still blurry. She blinked at the unfamiliar surroundings, thinking, ‘Wait, how did I end up in a hotel room?
Then, her gaze landed on Elijah, who was asleep on the couch. He was tall, and even though the couch was pretty big, lying on it was cramped. His legs hung from the side, and his feet even touched the carpet. It didn’t seem like he was sleeping too comfortably.
Cameron thought, ‘Guess this is probably the first time this big shot has ever slept on a couch.
Cameron sat up and rubbed her temples. Despite the hangover, she didn’t feel too bad. Actually, she had a pretty good tolerance for alcohol, so she hadn’t expected to get so drunk.
It turned out when one got stuff on their minds, drinking wasn’t the best idea.
Cameron got up and tiptoed to wash her face, but Elijah stirred and woke up.
“Oh, you’re awake?” he asked, his voice still a bit groggy, not as cold as usual, and his eyes were still half–closed.
Brushing her teeth, Cameron nodded and replied, “Thanks for getting me here last night. Why didn’t you go home?”
Elijah didn’t mention he was worried Cameron might commit suicide. Instead, he said, “It was late, and I didn’t feel like explaining to my family.”
Cameron raised her eyebrows and asked, “Why not just book another room?”
Elijah straightened up, his usual cool demeanor returning. He patted down his clothes and smoothed out the wrinkles from sleeping.
“Are you done? I wanna use the bathroom,” he said, changing the subject.
“Wait a minute,” she replied.
Elijah didn’t say anything, but Cameron could guess what he was thinking. She mused, ‘He’s probably worried I’ll do something stupid. He looks all distant, but he’s actually a softie underneath.‘
Ten minutes later, they both showed up at the hotel’s restaurant on the second floor to have a buffet breakfast.
Cameron only took a bowl of porridge, an egg, and a few slices of bacon.
Elijah raised his eyebrows, looking surprised. “You only eat so little?” He remembered how much she had eaten last night.
Cameron shrugged and casually replied, “Not really hungry.”
Elijah didn’t press it. He sipped his coffee, looking elegant as always. “You can go home after this. I’ll take care of the bill.” Cameron was a little surprised, and she thought, ‘Didn’t expect Elijah to be this much of a gentleman. He paid for the hotel room last night too. Guess this is what they say about rich people’s generosity.‘
As Cameron thought about how Elijah had kept looking for her, she started feeling a bit guilty.
She slowly finished her porridge and looked up at Elijah’s cold, handsome face, her expression serious. “Hey, I’ve got a secret to share with you.”
Elijah put his coffee cup down and met her gaze, his expression attentive. “Go ahead.”
He moved with such poise, and every action ex
Cameron said, “I know the person you’ve been. actually me.”
