Cameron hadn't got a good night's sleep like this for a long time. He had dreamed a girl was calling out his name with a charming smile while he was touching her soft body.
Combined with the jet lag, he slept until noon.
When he woke up, he was stunned at the sight of the exquisite white chandelier hanging from the ceiling, which was obviously the women's style. He could tell it was not the incandescent lamp in his apartment. Because he had counted the lines on the lamp cap countless times on those sleepless nights.
Surely, he was not in his apartment.
Cameron took a few minutes to realize that he had returned to his home country and spent one night with the girl who always appeared in his dream. That was why he was at her house.
Recalling what happened last night, Cameron held his forehead and couldn't help but laugh.
She was still as tough as ever and would only become meek after an intense sex.
However, Cameron felt a little strange at this moment.
He turned around only to find that the girl had long since disappeared.
He immediately sat up and frowned. "Nina?"
His voice was as deep and pleasant as the sound of a cello.
There was no response in the empty room. A bad feeling swept Cameron.
He got up in the towel and went downstairs to look for Nina while constantly thinking about how to start the conversation with her. There wasn't a single person in the huge villa. Cameron finally saw his two suitcases lying on the floor in the doorway.
He remembered that he had put them near the wall when he came in last night. Obviously, someone had kicked them over.
Thinking of the image that Nina was pissed off, he couldn't stop grinning.
She was a sassy and straightforward person, and this was something she definitely would do.
Then, he saw a large piece of white paper stuck on one of the suitcases. He walked over and picked it up, finding it was a note that Nina had left for him.
The message was written by a thick black marker, and it said, "Mr. Dauster, it was just a one-night stand between adults. If you want compensation, please contact my agent, Sherlyn Lansdale. Just tell her how much you want.
"PS: Please leave my house immediately after you wake up. Close the door and better leave at night to avoid being caught on camera by the paparazzi."
Cameron tore up the note and threw it into the trash can, pretending never to see it.
She could do anything she wanted, but he still had his own purpose.
Cameron opened his suitcase, took out a change of clothes, went upstairs, and took a shower to refresh himself. He made two assumptions about Nina's leaving before he woke up.
Firstly, she couldn't face what happened last night, so she chose to escape.
Secondly, she hated him, so she tried to get back at him in this way.
As for his suitcases, Cameron thought for a moment and decided to take them away temporarily.
He had planned to live here, but hadn't expected that Nina would directly leave. Now he didn't have a key and could only wait till she returned.
Twenty minutes later, Lucien saw Cameron walking out of the villas with two suitcases. He took off his sunglasses and looked around. Then he asked in confusion, "Whose house did you stay at last night?"
Lucien knew where Cameron lived, for he had helped with buying and decorating Cameron's house, so he could tell that this house neither belonged to Cameron's or Cameron's parents.
Cameron simply said, "A friend's house."
Cameron hadn't spoken with Lucien about his story with Nina for two reasons. First, Lucien was very active in the business circle and could meet Nina on many occasions. Cameron was afraid that Lucien would spill the beans to Nina if he knew.
Secondly, Cameron didn't know how to explain how he had been tangling with Nina for so many years. Therefore, he had never talked about it with Lucien. Since he had returned from abroad now, he decided to tell Lucien the whole story, but not now while they were standing on the street.
Lucien walked around Cameron several times, looking him up and down for a long time, then he leaned closer to him, sniffed, and said meaningfully, "I can smell the fragrance of women all over you. You must have stayed in a woman's house last night."
"No sooner had you returned from abroad than you spent a night with a woman! It overturned your cool and unapproachable image in my heart!" Lucien was really a bit sharp-tongued.
Cameron wanted to kick him away. The shampoo and shower gel he used were all Nina's, so he was full of women's fragrances.
On the other hand, Lucien leaned so close to him and sniffed, causing the security guards at the gate to keep looking at them curiously, as if they were a couple.
"Stay away from me." At the thought of this, Cameron pushed Lucien to the side, then put one of his suitcases into the trunk.
