Chapter 14 Does Keira Come to Apologize?
Feeling down, but with a rare break, Keira went back to the Vaughan residence to visit the elders. Kamden noticed that she was not in a good mood, so he took a whole day off to keep her
company.
Keira tried not to feel awkward, treating that night like a dream.
But lately, she asked around and watched closely. Yet, she didn’t see any signs of Kamden in a
romance.
She didn’t expect he could keep things hidden so well.
“It seems that you’ve been pretty interested in me lately.” Kamden slowly put down the document he was holding.
He had been the CEO of the Vaughan Group for years. He was always serious and rarely smiled. On weekdays, he would always wear a sharp suit, standing tall with a stern look on his face. Today at home, Kamden just wore a casual long–sleeved shirt, softening his aura. When he looked at Keira, a faint smile graced his clear, elegant face.
Keira’s eyes locked with his. Caught red–handed, she quickly looked away, but her tone was all business.“I’m just looking out for you. Trying to get to know you better. Got it? Kamden lowered his gaze, and a murky, inscrutable look emerged from the depths of his eyes. When Keira saw a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, she knew that she had gotten away with
- it.
She plopped down on the sofa casually.
She was like a little kitten, not elegant like a rich lady, but lively and agile like a young girl Keira looked at the ceiling, lost in thought.
She was wondering if Andres would really announce their relationship publicly when she got a call from Everett.
After hearing what Everett said, she jumped up from the sofa in surprise. “Mr. Watkins, is it true?” Keira sounded cheerful, her voice filled with uncontrollable excitement She was grinning from ear to ear, her eyes sparkling. There wasn’t a trace of worry left. Kamden looked up at her from across. The short–sleeve T–shirt was way too big on her, and her long legs under the shorts were straight and slender. Her skin had a faint pink glow. He couldn’t tear his eyes away from her.
Kamden’s Adam’s apple bobbed and he seemed to unintentionally pull his
gaze
back.
They said a few more words, and then the phone hung up.
Keira exclaimed happily, like a little groundhog.
She hugged Kamden excitedly.“Kamden, you know what? Mr. Watkins actually recommended me to be the assistant director!”
Kamden suddenly smelled her fragrance. His usually calm emotions were now like wild sea waves, threatening to drown him.

His Adam’s apple bobbed a bit. Feeling the softness in his arms, Kamden almost couldn’t stop himself from pulling Keira into his embrace.
But in the end, he just raised his hand and patted Keira’s soft waist. He lowered his gaze and smiled, “Not bad. You’ve taken another step toward your dream.”
His clear, seductive voice snapped Keira out of it, her ears turning bright red. Keira let go of Kamden, a bit embarrassed, and said, “Kamden, I was just too excited. Please “forgive me.”
She retreated and created distance.
The softness in his arms and the scent on his nose faded away, and Kamden’s heart felt empty for
a moment.
In just an instant, he adjusted his emotions.
Kamden spoke with a deep and gentle voice, “When are you going?”
“The day after tomorrow. Mr. Watkins said that everything had already been discussed. They’ll start casting in the next couple of days. He contacted me a bit late, so it’s a bit rushed for me,” she said, but she didn’t seem worried about starting work right away.
Her eyes were still sparkling with joy.
“Okay. Then pack your stuff tomorrow. I’ll take you there the day after,” said Kamden. Keira nodded. Then she immediately thought of the half–month vacation Ronin had mentioned, which was coming up.
This was a bit troublesome.
She
thought, “How about
giving those two newbies a simple job first?”
With this thought, she called a colleague she got along well with.
“Sorry, Kiki, I am not available. You’ll have to figure it out yourself” Keira didn’t doubt it, and she contacted another one.
“Sorry, Ms. Hardin. My task has already been assigned to someone else by the company.” She felt something was off. She tried a few more times in a row, all of which were rejected. Keira approached a few friends in other companies, but she was still rejęzied. She looked at her phone and suddenly burst into laughter.
Andres hadn’t made it public yet, but he had left her no way out.
He thought she would have to rely on him obediently if she had no other choice.
Keira’s lips curved into a playful smile.
She wouldn’t do as Andres wished!
She was set on making it.
The next day, Keira briefly told Ronin about the plan to go film a movie. With Everett’s help, Keira didn’t take up any company resources. Besides, he could still give Andres an explanation.
Ronin was all for it. He agreed without any hesitation.

The only regret was that the two newcomers arranged for Keira were about to join the crew Otherwise, they could have given this movie a shot.
Ronin touched his slightly chubby chin, feeling a bit strange.
He wondered, “Andres made it clear yesterday that everything related to Keira should be handled strictly according to the rules, with no special treatment or favors given to her.” “Why did Andres let Keira get involved with Everett?
“I don’t quite understand their tricks!”
The next morning, Keira went to the film crew. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, she ran into an acquaintance.
Andres’s assistant glanced behind her, and there was Kamden’s black Maybach, just making a U–turn at the front.
He saw clearly that Keira got out of this luxury car.
“Hey, Keira, what brings you here? Are you looking for Andres?” he greeted, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Keira frowned. If he was there, Andres must be there too.
She wondered if it was a coincidence or if Everett had some serious connections. She frowned, looking puzzled.
Keira figured her stance was crystal clear when she met Everett and Kaitlyn that day. She didn’t know why Everett would still put them on the same crew.
She figured that when Andres saw them that day, Kaitlyn would have already made her stance clear to him.
She nodded indifferently.“I’m here to work. They are waiting for me over there. See you around. The assistant didn’t give it too much thought and rushed off to find Andres.“Andres, Andres!” Andres looked up, with an unfriendly expression.
The assistant quickly suppressed his emotions and said, “I saw Keira just now. She has also come to the film crew.”
Andres glanced sideways.
He thought, “Did she chase me here?
“It looks like Keira realizes she messed up and has
come to say sorry. “Why didn’t she come?” His face eased a bit, but his brows stayed tight, and he sounded ready to confront Keira.
“Keira said she was here to work, but I didn’t get a chance to ask more. Still, I spotted her stepping out of a fancy car. Wasn’t she an orphan? She shouldn’t be able to afford that, should she? Plus, it was a commercial Maybach. What’s going on?”
He rambled on, not noticing that Andres’s face, which had lightened up, was now sour again. “Got nothing better to do?” asked Andres.
The assistant immediately fell silent.

When Andres stood up and walked out, he was consumed by anger.

He appeared
38 if he was going to go and settle a score with someone. Everett got Keira brought over as soon as he found out she was there. Today, Keira sported a beige cotton shirt with a bamboo leaf design, matched with light blue wide–leg pants for a neat and elegant vibe.

“Keira, come over. I want you to meet some senior folks.” Everett was looking sharp in a dark suit, which, with his naturally round face, made him seem more friendly.
