Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Camila Walker Comes to Pick Up
Would he have time tonight?
In the blink of an eye, it was five-thirty. In the office, people could hardly wait to pack their stuff, each looking forward to tonight’s Christmas Eve party!
The atmosphere was always infectious. As Emily Walker watched everyone leave work, she began to anticipate Christmas Eve and started packing her things.
However, expectations are always beautiful, but reality often lets people down.
Just as Emily Walker stepped out of the office, Baron Stuart’s incoming call rang.
Looking at the familiar incoming call, she could hardly imagine that Baron Stuart would wish her a Merry Christmas Eve.
“I have a social engagement today and may be back late.”
“…” Emily Walker’s originally expectant face became stiff at these words and fell into a daze.
He has an engagement tonight? Won’t he be accompanying her for Christmas Eve?
“Oh.” she replied, sounding somewhat disappointed.
Hearing her deflated tone, Baron Stuart slightly knitted his eyebrows, “What’s wrong?”
In the past, when he said he would be late, she had never reacted . Baron Stuart couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.
“No, nothing, just…” she lowered her head and glanced at the gift and peaceful fruit in her hand, “come home early!”
She struggled to utter these few words.
“Hmm.” Baron Stuart replied absent-mindedly and hung up the phone without giving it much thought.
Looking at the gift in her hand and the hung-up phone, Emily Walker sighed helplessly.
The highly-anticipated Christmas Eve had arrived, and she had also collected her gifts, only to find herself alone…
Cradling the gifts, Emily Walker prepared to grab a cab home, but as she stepped down from the entrance of her company, she noticed a red Maserati.
She recognized the car, and an image sprung to her mind very quickly – Camila Walker!
Indeed, as she approached the Red Maserati, the car window opened slowly. Although dusk had fallen, Emily Walker immediately recognized Camila Walker in the driver’s seat.
Seeing her holding a box and a peaceful fruit, Camila Walker gave her a cold glance and quickly averted her gaze, “Get in the car.”
Emily Walker was stunned. Perhaps it was because Camila Walker had helped her last time that she didn’t perceive any hostility in her now.
However, even though she couldn’t sense any hostility, it definitely wasn’t kindness either.
“What do you mean?” She frowned, looking at Camila Walker inside the car, and felt that she has truly changed.
Camila Walker tossed her wavy hair to the side, quickly turned her gaze back to Emily Walker outside the car, her expression still extremely indifferent.
However, compared to before, Emily Walker didn’t sense any hostility from her tone.
“It’s Christmas Eve today. Our parents have asked me to pick you up to celebrate.” Camila Walker said indifferently. After finishing, she shifted her gaze to the front, seemingly not wanting to spare Emily Walker an extra look.
Emily Walker was taken aback.
Their parents were picking her up to celebrate Christmas Eve?
Before she could ponder any further, her phone rang again.
She took out her phone with one hand and saw that it was from her mother, Angela Reid.
“Hello, Emily. Did you see Camila? I told her to pick you up so we can celebrate Christmas Eve together.” Angela Reid’s gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. It was obvious she was looking forward to it.
Emily Walker was stunned. She glanced at Camila Walker in front of her, feeling a sudden warmth in her heart.
“Okay.” She smiled and then hung up the phone.
Emily Walker stepped forward, opened the door of the Red Maserati, and sat in the passenger seat without any hesitation.
