MENDING HIS BROKEN HEART : CHAPTER 71 – 90
She covered her face, stood up and ran out of the office.
“What’s with her?” Camille asked and hissed.
Gray continued looking, what was wrong with her? Why is he worried anyway?
“Camille, leave my office, immediately.” He ordered.
“Gray, I_”
“Please! Just leave!” He snapped and she flinched.
“Okay, okay, sheesh!” She stood up with the baby and left.
Gray sighed and continued looking at the door, expecting her to be back but she didn’t walk in.
“I hope she’s fine.” He muttered.

Noel entered the ladies bathroom and locked herself in. She removed the mask and cried.
“He has a baby with Camille! He has a fking baby with Camille!” She yelled angrily.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she cried again.
“Gray why? Why did you do this to me? I waited for you after a year of being in coma. I wanted you back, my heart still wants you, why did you break it?” She asked.
Suddenly she remembered what has been happening since she and Gray met. She remembered how he told her that, that seat was for someone very important to him , she also remembered how he rushed out of the car when he saw her. Also, how he yelled and talked to Camille in a harsh tone.
“If he doesn’t like her, then how did she get pregnant and bore a baby for him? Something isn’t right. What is wrong with me? Why did I allow my emotions get the best of me? This is a time to be strong. Now, what am I gonna tell him if he asks why I ran out of the office?” She sighed. “Be strong Noel,” She put on her mask. “Be strong Elena.”
Checking herself out in the mirror one more time, she breathe in then out before unlocking the door and stepping out.
She came to the reception and Raymond called her.
“Excuse me, lady.” He said.
She stopped and faced him.
“What is it?” She asked with a frown, she knew what he was going to ask so she wasn’t going to smile for him to be friends with her.
“Nothing, you can go.” He said.
She didn’t say anything and entered the office.
“She’s scary, she can’t be Noel. Noel is nicer and friendlier.” Raymond said.
“I told you so but you wouldn’t listen.” Reina laughed.
Elena entered the office and went straight to her seat.
“What happened earlier?” Gray found himself asking.
“It’s something personal.” She answered.
“Care to share?” He asked.
“Well, I wasn’t feeling too well so I went to throw up. How does that sound?” She asked, looking at him.
“Rude?” He answered. She nodded and returned to her work. “By the way, have you and Camille met before? She doesn’t like you from what I’ve seen and witnessed.” He said
“Who is Camille?” Elena asked.
“The lady I was with few minutes ago.” He answered.
“Oh! Your wife.” She said.
“She isn’t my wife.” Gray’s mood darkened immediately.
“Sorry, the mother of your child.” Elena said. Gray sighed sadly, she didn’t fail to notice that. She was going to get to the bottom of this. “You know Mr Gray, you’re quite naughty. How can you impregnate a lady before marriage huh?”
“It wasn’t intentional, it was a fr..eaking mistake! Mind your business.” He snapped.
“Hey, I only asked a question. Stop being rude all of a sudden, it doesn’t suit you.” She said.
“Just let me be, don’t talk to me for the rest of the day.” He said.
“But, what if I’m done with what you gave me?” She asked.
“Just drop it and say nothing to me.” He answered.
“What if I want to go out for lunch?”
“Go and don’t bother telling me.” He answered.
“What jf_”
“Elena please, stop frustrating me.” He snapped at her.
“Okay sir.” She smiled and faced her work.
Gray looked at her and sighed. There is no difference between her character and that of Noel’s except that she is a bit rude sometimes while Noel was always bubbly.
Elena looked up and caught Gray staring at her.
“Why are you staring at me like that?” She asked.
“I told you not to talk to me.” Gray said and looked away.
She chuckled slightly.

CAMILLE’S APARTMENT
“Zara!” She called after entering the house.
“Yes!” Zara answered from the kitchen and came to meet Camille.
“Take the baby away from my sight.” She said.
“Okay.” Zara collected the baby and left.
“Levi!” Camille called.
“Yes ma!” He answered and stood before her.
“I have a job for you.” She said.
“I’m listening.”
“There’s a lady I need you to do a background check on. She is working as Gray’s new assistant now, she dyed the elm of her hair red. Trail, stalk and tell me everything about her.” She ordered.
“Okay. You’re aware that the directors of the company you applied for is coming to Food Palace this afternoon and you’re invited for lunch with them?” He asked.
“Is it lunch or interview?” Camille asked.
“Both.” Levi answered.
“Alright, let me go and get ready.” She stood up and headed for her room.
MENDING HIS BROKEN HEART : CHAPTER 71 – 90
FOOD PALACE
The directors were already seated and waiting for her. She rushed in and bowed.
“I’m sorry sir coming late, I had something to take care of at home.” She said.
“No problem, have a seat.” One of them said and she obeyed.
“We’ve gone through your credentials and it is satisfying. We’d like to know more about you before giving you this job.” Another said.
“Sure,” She looked up and saw Julie at the entrance to the restaurant and gasped.
“Are you okay?” Mr Mike, who spoke first asked.
She looked at him then back at the door but Julie was no longer there.
“Y… yes, I’m fine. Um, my name is Camille Evans, I’m 24 years old. I’ve worked as a model in Seoul, Korea and as a manager for my dad’s company here in San Diego, California. I have the best qualifications for the post of Sales Representative in your company, sirs.” She said with her eyes fixed on the door.
“Have you worked as a sales representative before?” Mr Brown, the second director asked.
“No but I’ve learnt a bit of the field.” She answered.
“Give us a minute.” Mr Mike said and they started discussing amongst themselves.
Camille’s gaze remained on the door, she thought that she was hallucinating or it was just an illusion and took her face away.
Maureen was approaching them with glasses of juice and Camille bumped into her mistakenly, spilling the juice all over the men and herself.
“I’m so sorry, sirs.” Maureen bowed apologetically.
“You! Are you blind? Can’t you watch where you were going?” Camille asked.
“I’m sorry but you bumped into me.” Maureen answered.
“So? Can’t you hold the tray firmly? Why are you so brainless?” Camille snapped.
“Miss Evans!” Mr Mike called abruptly and she turned to face them, remembering that she was actually here for an interview and just showed them her outburst.
“Sirs, I_”
“That was so rude and inappropriate. If we give you this job, is this how you’re gonna talk to our customers and workers?” Mr Brown asked,anger evident in his tone.
“I’m sorry_”
“We can’t hire someone like you, you’re incompetent for this job. Let’s get out of here.” Mr Mike said.
They all stood up and left the restaurant paying deaf ears to Camille’s pleas.
“Shit!” Camille hit the table and faced Maureen angrily. “It was all your fault!” She snapped.
“My fault? Oh please! Stop acting childish and admit your mistake instead of shifting the blame to others. You bumped into me and insulted me, now you’ve lost a job opportunity because of your running mouth and impudent attitude. Serves you right anyway.” Maureen said.
“What? Are you talking to me?” Camille asked and wanted to slap her when she saw Julie again. She gasped and fear struck her. “Are you seeing that?” She pointed to the window.
Maureen turned and saw nothing.
“There’s nothing there.” Maureen said.
Camille looked again and saw nothing. She hurriedly left the restaurant while Maureen stood there, trying to figure out what was going on.

Camille stepped outside and looked around the restaurant but saw nothing.
“Geez! I’m going ¢razy.” She lamented and entered her car before driving off.
“What next?” Silvia asked Julie.
“We follow her.” Julie answered.
Silvia started the car and followed that of Camille’s.
“Where do you think she’s going to?” Silvia asked.
“A bar. For as long as I’ve known her, whenever she’s feeling angry, she goes to drink herself to stupor.” Julie said.
“Wow!” Silvia exclaimed as they followed Camille’s car.

GRAY’S OFFICE
Elena was finally done with what Gray gave her. She wanted to call him but remembered that he said she shouldn’t talk to him for the rest of the day.
Now, how is she going to inform him that she was done for the day and needed to head home? She stared at him while he worked. The way his hands worked on the laptop and his work posture made her drool over him all over again.
Gray looked up and caught her staring.
“What is it?” He asked but she didn’t answer. “I’m asking you a question, Elena.”
“I can’t answer that question.” She answered, trying to act cool and innocent so he wouldn’t say that she was drooling over him.
“Why?” He asked.
“Because, you said that I shouldn’t talk to you for the rest of today.” She answered.
“But you’re talking to me now.” Gray said.
“Because, you talked to me first.” She replied.
“What is it then?” He asked.
“I wanted to let you know that I’m done for today and want to go home.” She answered.
Gray checked his wristwatch. “Alright, you can go.” He said.
“Just like that?” She asked and he looked at her.
“What else do you want me to say?”
“There are other ways to bid your worker goodbye. Are you sure that you’re the CEO of this company? Are your even a CEO?” She asked.
Gray puts his hand on his forehead. “Elena, can you stop disturbing my life?” He asked.
“No,” She answered, stood up and carried her bag. “Goodnight, Mr Gray. See you tomorrow.” She smiled and left.
Gray watched her till she was out of sight. He shook his head and continued with what he was doing.

THE BAR
Camille took the third bottle of alcohol and gulped it down. She was trying to get drunk and just forget about what happened minutes ago but it seemed like it wasn’t working.
“I klled you, Julie. Why am I still seeing you?” She asked.
She belched and discovered that she was pressed and needed to use the restroom. She left the counter and managed to locate the only restroom in the bar. Luckily, no one was there. She entered and eased herself, flushed the watched her hand. The moment she looked into the mirror, she saw Julie holding a gvn and pointing it at her.
She gasped and turned, behold! Julie was right in front of her, pointing a gvn at her forehead.
“Hey bçh!”
