Chapter 80 Send Her The Pictures
Xander glared at her and deliberately changed the subject. “Didn’t you say you don’t have a younger sister?”
Cameron didn’t respond. She walked back to her desk, pulled out a fresh sheet of drawing paper, and opened Noir Éclat’s official website. Their new spring collection was already up. With a few quick strokes, she sketched a design straight from the page.
“What are you doing? I’m talking to you!” Xander frowned and followed her.
Twirling the pen in her hand, Cameron said, “Didn’t you want to take a picture? Go ahead. Take the picture and send it to Milena.”
“Why?” Xander asked with a puzzled look. He thought, ‘Didn’t he object to taking pictures? Why the sudden change of heart? Cameron looked at him with an expressionless face. “Didn’t you just say Milena was curious? She’s my sister. Since she wants pictures of me, just take some for her.”
“You sound like a good brother now.” Xander happily patted Cameron on the shoulder.
Cameron looked down at his hand. “Take your hand off me.”
Xander was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
“Go on, take the picture,” Cameron urged.
“Okay,” replied Xander. With a soft click, he snapped a photo of Cameron’s desk.
Cameron stood up. “Take another one–get closer to the sketch. Make sure it’s clear.”
“Got it,” Xander said. He then sent the photos to Milena.
Milena immediately replied: [Huh? What’s my brother doing now?]
Cameron said, “Tell her I’ve decided to participate in Noir Éclat’s fashion design competition.”
Xander was surprised. “You? A fashion design competition?”
“Just send it,” Cameron said impatiently.
“Oh, okay.” Xander obediently sent the message.
Then Cameron added, “And remember, you took those pictures secretly. I didn’t even know it was happening.”
Xander was confused. “Why?”
Cameron kept a straight face. “Do I look like a walking encyclopedia? If you have any questions, ask the top student.”
Xander rolled his eyes at Elijah, who was reading. ‘No way I’m asking the nerd,’ he thought.
Cameron put her sketches away and warned Xander, “Don’t touch my stuff. Especially don’t take pictures and send them to others–Milena included. Or else… you’ll regret it.”
Xander could tell she was serious. He pouted but decided he wouldn’t touch Cameron’s things again. He had just acted on impulse earlier.
Cameron walked over to Elijah. “Thanks for the help just now.”
It proved once again that Elijah might look cold and emotionally unavailable, but deep down, he was pretty kind.
Elijah looked up at Cameron and shook his head. He still remembered that day at his family’s gender surgery center when he ran into Cameron trying to jump off the building.
He had no idea what she’d been through. But he had a feeling she wasn’t as tough as she made herself out to be and that there was a vulnerable side to her.
And maybe that was why he had spoken up for her earlier without even thinking.
Cameron nodded and went into the bathroom to take a shower. Xander sat in his chair, texting Milena.
Milena texted: [My brother’s entering a competition? That’s rare. It’s getting late, Mr. Murphy. I’m going to bed. You should get some rest too. Good night.]
Without even waiting for Xander’s reply, she searched for the fashion design competition online. Then she went back to her chat with Xander and carefully examined the design sketches Cameron had created.
“They are so pretty,” she murmured, clearly imp Successfully unlocked! drawings were beautiful.
about design, but she could tell Cameron’s
Of course, they were pretty. They had been created by none other than Eric himself, the founder and chairman of Noir Éclat.
And those were just rough sketches.
A small smile tugged at Milena’s lips.
