Chapter 19
Camila’s fingers trembled slightly. She didn’t reply and just blocked Luke on WhatsApp without hesitation. Then, one by one, she found the rest of Noel’s friends in her contacts and blocked every last one of them.
She figured since she’d broken up with Norl, it should be clean–no loose ends, no room left for anything else.
Caly after blocking the final contact did she finally let out a breath. Just as she turned to find her hairdryer, a message came in from Johnathon 11 was a detailed treatment schedule and follow–up care instructions he’d sent her.
Camila couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Johnathon really is a dedicated doctor. So attentive, so thorough
She then sent a quick thank you. But Johnathon just replied simply: [No need
Camila texted hack [171 he on time for the next session. I promise.]
Johnathon responded almost immediately. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out
Camila thought for a moment, then sent another message: [Dr. Hemming, are you always this thorough with your patients? You seriously deserve a medal or something.
She saw the typing bubble appear, Curious, she waited to see what he’d say. But a few seconds baser, the typing hubble vanished and there was no
message
Camila blinked and sent a question mark
Johnathon, water glass in hand, was about to take a sip when his eyes landed on the question mark. He stared at it for a few seconds, then his elegant fingers tapped out a text (When are you bringing me that medal! [‘ll be waiting |
didn’t know what to say now. She hadn’t meant it literally–just a throwaway compliment. But he actually took it seriously,
After a moment of thought, she scrolled through the emojis and sent over a gold medal emoji.
Johnathon stared at it, utterly speechless.
- Camala followed up with another text; Want more? I’ve got a whole series of memes ready to go.j
Julinaison replied: Thanks, I’m good]
ng his head through the screen.
Camila sent a couple of laughing emojis. She could practically picture Johnathon shaking
Thinking the conversation was over, she didn’t expect another message a few minutes later, Johnathon: You’re looking for an apartment?]
She had just posted about apartment hunting on Twitter carlier. She figured he mu ve seen it.
Camila: [Yeah, I’m still looking!
Johnathon [Any specific requirements!)
Camila wondered, reading his message, ‘Is he offering to help me apartment–hunt? She then found out what she was looking for.
There was a pause. Then came his reply: I know a place that might be perfect for you.||
Camila instantly perked up and typed: [Where is it!]
Johnathon sent over the name of a residemial complex.
Canula stared at the name for a few seconds, stunned, Camila [That’s a luxury neighborhood. Pretty sure it’s way out of my budget)
Johnathon responded right away! The owner’s leaving the country and just wants someone to take care of the place. Money’s not the issue. You can probably negotiate.||
Camila thought, Wait, deals like this actually exist? Her eyes lit up as she texted: [Can you ask for me?]
Johnathon: (Sure |
Camila could hardly contain her excitement. She’d spent the whole evening scrolling through listings online and hadn’t found a single place she liked Johnathon’s message was a gift from the universe
OKO
Chapter 19
Meanwhile, after dropping Shirley off, Noel turned to Luke with a dark, unreadable stare. “Who’d you send that photo to!”
Luke’s heart skipped a beat. “What photo,”
“You tell me.” Noel might’ve been drunk, but he wasn’t blind and he sure as hell hadn’t let his guard down. He’d caught Luke snapping that picture out of the corner of his eye when he kissed Shirley.
Luke gave a sheepish grin, scratching his nose “Obviously, I sent it to Camila”
Noel raised an eyebrow, saying nothing, clearly waiting for more,
Sure enough, Luke added, “I just wanted to make sure she stops acting up and remind her you’re not exactly hung up on her. It’s not like you can’t live without her.”
Noel’s eyes darkened, a cold laugh slipping out “You think I care what she think?”
“Of course not. I was just standing up for you, mant
“Whatever’s going on between me and her, stay out of it”
Fine by me. After tonight, even if you beg me to get involved I won’t
