Chapter 569
“Mr. Wallace, you finally called me back.” David blurted as soon as the call connected.
Cameron asked, “Mr. Tucker, what’s up?”
David said, “Sc, Austin, the CEO of Fraser Group who tried to buy us out had someone deliver 9,999 red roses to the office this morning for you.”
Cameron was stunned, thinking, ‘Austin sent me red roses? Has he lost his mind? Wait a second. Is this why he sent me the text, asking me if I liked it?”
Cameron had just been completely baffled. Now, she finally got what Austin meant.
Getting no response from Cameron, David asked, “Mr. Wallace, are you still there?”
Cameron replied, “I’m listening.”
David asked, “So, what should I do with all these roses?”
Cameron said, “Take them out to the street and sell them. Three stalks of roses for three dollars.”
David was taken aback.
Cameron added, “That’s it. Just handle it the way I said.”
David said, “Alright.”
With that, Cameron ended the call. Bradley and Elijah replied to her texts earlier, but she didn’t check them immediately. Instead, she went straight to a video call with Austin.
She let her parents know she needed a minute, then slipped away to a quiet spot.
Meanwhile, Austin had been a nervous wreck since sending those roses.
He’d only sent Cameron one message and didn’t dare follow up. He hadn’t expected a call back, especially not a video call. He was so startled when his phone rang that he dropped it.
“Mr. Fraser.” Vincent immediately bent down and picked it up for him.
Austin took the phone, waved Vincent and the others out, and only then answered the call with a racing heart.
“Cam-“Austin almost used the same tone as when he spoke to a guy, but he stopped himself. He couldn’t talk to Cameron that way anymore because she was a girl.
However, he didn’t want to be too cozy with her either, afraid she might see him as a brother figure.
His smile wavered slightly as he struggled to figure out what to call her.
“You sent me red roses?” Cameron stared at her phone without any expression.
Austin hadn’t expected her to be so blunt. Judging by her expression, she didn’t look happy at all.
Even though he was nervous, Austin kept a big smile on his face. “Yeah. Are you surprised?”
Cameron frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Austin’s smile grew wider. “What do you think it means? Cameron, isn’t it obvious? Red roses symbolize love.”
“Love?” Cameron smirked. “You stab me in the back, and now you want to talk about love?”

Austin hadn’t expected her to still be hung up on what happened days ago.
