Chapter 78 In Hot Water
While Camila could see what was happening over there, she couldn't hear what was being said.
However, she was still rather surprised. Why didnât Aleena stay longer with Silas? âCamila, you
should go and greet Silas as well. After all, it's somewhat impolite to not greet him since you've
seen him. As my face is now bruised, however, I won't be accompanying you over,â Kate remarked.
Glancing at Silas, Camila noticed that he was still surrounded by a crowd, so she replied, âNever
mind, I'll wait for you before going over.â âWhy would you wait for me? How am I to go over with
such a face?â Camila shot her a glare. âExcuses! With such simple thinking, I worry about the future
of your magazine.â Being an astute person herself, a moment of clarity instantly came upon Kate as
a light bulb went off in her head at Camilaâs reminder. Silas Nolan's influence is even greater than
any celebrity or big shot! Pursing her lips, she smirked. âIs this appropriate?â
Camila shot daggers at her. âWe're just going over to greet him, not doing anything grievous.
What's inappropriate about that?â As she said that, she raised Kate's chin. âLet me have a look.
Hmm, it's much better now. Just go and touch up your makeup for a bit!"
It made sense to Kate, so she got up and went to the washroom with Camila to touch up her
makeup. When she came out, her makeup was exquisite, and her bruising wasn't at all visible unless
one truly scrutinized her face.
At this time, there was still a crowd around Silas, including those few women who spoke up on
Luca's behalf earlier. Perhaps it was because it was too abrupt that they were heading right at Silas
or their fuss earlier had attracted attention, but everyone was looking at them at this moment. While
Camila wasn't afraid of the scrutiny, she was rather unused to such attention. Leading Kate, she
moved through the crowd and came to the lounge in the lobby. Then, she courteously greeted the
man who was sitting in the middle of the sofa and radiating a strong aura, âMr. Nolan.â Everyone
was a touch startled upon hearing this, the look in the women's eyes brimming with contempt.
These two people wish to make friends with Silas Nolan as well despite having no popularity,
background, or repute? He has already crushed Miss Jones earlier, so these two ladies are just thick-
skinned. A glimmer of surprise and even delight flitted across Silas's eyes. I never thought I'd meet
her here. âMiss Brooklyn!"
Kate was a tad more nervous compared to Camila, and she dipped her head a fraction at Silas. âMr.
Nolan.â Silas politely inclined his head at her in response. Everyone was dumbfounded. What's
happening here? They're actually acquainted? âCome and sit over here!â Silas beckoned the two of
them. Sit? Where are we supposed to sit? Naturally, they were to sit beside him, so Logan again
stood up perceptively, but Silas didnât protest this time. Thus, everyone promptly got up like a chain
reaction and emptied two spots beside him. Camila inclined her head slightly at the crowd and was
just a moment away from sitting down while tugging on Kate's hand when a woman's forceful voice
rang out at this time. âWho hit my brother?â At this, everyone looked over in the direction of the
voice. A wealthy-looking woman in a branded dress who appeared to be in her 40s was striding in
their direction, her aura fierce and intimidating. Meanwhile, the man trailing behind her was none
other than Luca who'd been kicked to the ground by Camila earlier. Camilaâs brows furrowed
slightly. Never have I thought this man would actually ask a woman to come and avenge him.
Damn, heâs not a man at all! The disdain within her showed on her face. Instead of sitting down on
the sofa, she remained standing as she stared at the fast-approaching woman. Kate whispered, âThis
woman is the president of Grant Group, Harriet Grant. She's a career woman who's been single ever
since her divorce. We're in hot water this time, for this woman is so tough that even most men don't
dare provoke her.â Camila nodded imperceptibly. Silas didnât move, but his brows creased slightly as
he kept his eyes on Camilaâs situation.
