Chapter 57 The Most Adorable Guy
Bradley gave Cameron a light pat on the shoulder and said, “Come in”
Normally, Cameron didn’t like being touched, but when it was Bradley, the dont seat contrae aa
They stepped into the dorm. Bradley pulled a small black velvet box from his backpack and handed over to Camer Here, it’s for you.”
Cameron didn’t take it right away but asked, “What is it?”
Bradley flipped open the box, revealing a sleek obsidian stud earring inside.
“My third brother’s a hell of a designer, Bradley explained, “Our place is always full of this kind of stuff I remembered you like wearing studs, so I brought one for you.”
He nudged the box closer toward Cameron and asked, “Do you like it?
Cameron was caught off guard. They hadn’t even known each other that long. Bradley had already helped her more than once, and now, he even gave her a gift. Cameron felt like she shouldn’t take his gift
She glanced down at the logo on the box and recognized it instantly–one of those high–end designer brands. Even a single stud like this would cost a fortune.
Cameron shook her head and said, “Thanks, Brad, but I really can’t take it.”
“Why not?” Bradley’s smile faded a bit
When he first saw the stud, he instantly thought of Cameron. He figured it’d look great on Cameron. He didn’t expect to get turned down.
“No work, no reward, Cameron said in a firm tone.
Bradley frowned slightly and thought to himself, No work, no reward? Seriously? It’s just a small thing, barely worth a few grand
Bradley pushed the box into Cameron’s hand and insisted, “It’s just a little thing. If you like it, keep it. If not, toss it.” There was a kind of gentle stubbornness in the way he said it–soft, but not up for debate.
Cameron could tell he was a bit upset. Now that the earring was in her hand, she didn’t know what to do with it. Keeping it felt awkward, but tossing it felt rude. So she gave in and accepted it.
Fine, I’ll accept it for now When I make enough money, I’ll return the favor, she thought.
She looked up and said, “Alright then, I’ll take it. Thanks, Brad”
“You’re welcome.” A small smile tugged at Bradley’s lips. He lifted a hand and gently ruffled Cameron’s hair.
Cameron didn’t move but just stood there, looking a little stunned.
Bradley raised his eyebrows and asked, “Not gonna try it on?”
Cameron looked down at the stud in the box and praised, “It’s really pretty. Probably looks good too.”
Bradley asked, “Wanna try it?”
“Sure.” Cameron nodded.
She reached up to remove the diamond stud she’d been wearing. Just as she was about to take the obsidian one out of the box, a hand beat her to it.
“Let me help you,” Bradley said, already stepping closer.
Cameron instinctively took a step back and replied, “It’s alright. I’ll do it myself.”
Bradley caught the wary look on her face and gave a soft laugh. “Alright
He placed the little stud gently into Cameron’s palm, and Cameron clipped it into her ear.
Her skin was smooth, and the deep black obsidian made the soft pink of her earlobe pop.
Bradley crossed his arms and studied Cameron, sighing, “Tsk, you’ve got smoother skin than most girls I know.”
Cameron touched her ear and replied, “I don’t go out in the sun much.”
She’d never been into sports. Staying out of the

out?” And asked, “Weren’t you about to go out?
Bradley chuckled. Seeing Cameron stand there. “Oh, yeah.” Cameron then grabbed her books and ducked out of the room.
A soft chuckle escaped Bradley’s lips as the door clicked shut. He thought to himself, That’s cute. Cameron might just be
the most adorable guy I’ve ever met.
