Look For Camilla

Until now, I still could not fathom why I was in this situation. I don't know whether I should laugh or cry—feel happy or mortified.

Well, I'm definitely embarrassed.

Every person we met in the mall looked at us curiously. After they scanned me from my head down to my flat shoes, their attention shifted to the three gorgeous beings I was with.

Why would they not?

Stella looked like a goddess in her designer floral dress, a Chanel bag, and Chanel ballerina shoes. She is lovely and bright.

While Crazy George wore black pants, a black shirt, and brown boots. And as for Rowan, he wore blue jeans, a white shirt, and white Canvas Sneakers.

The brothers were completely opposite to each other. Crazy George always wore formal clothes that exuded superiority, while Rowan chose casual attire that gave off a friendly aura. I felt comfortable around him.

Even though I didn't know about High Society that much, in just one glance, I could tell the three wore one of the most expensive brands in the world.

And how about me? Nothing to describe much.

I'm just wearing jeans, a casual striped blouse, and white flat shoes, which I bought from a local brand. So, there is nothing to boast about; instead, I look more like Stella's nanny. All I could do was heave a sigh to shake off my discomfort.

Watching Stella walking ahead of me, I noticed Crazy George was too attentive to her. It gives me the idea that Crazy George likes Stella.

I mean, not just because they were family. Crazy George must be harboring a feeling for Stella even though her husband is his cousin. If my assumption was correct, then the former only hid his feelings.

Somehow, I felt pity for Crazy George—the woman he loved was madly in love with his cousin. So it was a sin for him to covet Stella's heart. Therefore, all he has is unrequited love.

Now I understand why Crazy George has a hidden resentment toward Florian. The latter did not put importance on his wife. Instead, he has an affair with my best friend.

And I was the one who felt guilty on behalf of Camilla, the reason I could not distance myself from Stella. It was like I wanted to make it up to her somehow.

It is why I let Stella drag me to stroll around the mall. I don't know when Stella will catch Florian in the act, nor will the latter be honest with his wife. Like today, I wondered if Florian was with his business partners. I have a strong hunch that he is with Camilla.

I'm glad Crazy George did not allow me to board his car, so I rode the Maybach the hotel provided. With our setup, I could talk to Jerry and ask him a favor.

A little while ago…

After I changed my clothes, I met Stella and the Graham brothers in the parking lot.

"Krishna, you can join me in the backseat." Stella invited me when I approached them; however, Crazy George immediately opposed it.

"There is no space in the car. She could take a taxi."

"George!" Stella and Rowan protested, and it touched me when they took my side and tried to defend me from Crazy George's mistreatment.

In fact, Rowan persuades his brother.

"I can drive the car, and you can take the front seat while Stella and Krishna are in the backseat. How about that?"

"I hired a driver to drive for us. You will be in the front seat, and I will sit in the backseat with Stella." Crazy George shot a glare at Rowan.

Rowan wanted to reason out with his brother, but Crazy George did not give him a chance to speak further. "Get in the car, Rowan."

"Go ahead, Rowan. You don't have to worry about my transport. I have my car serviced. See you in the mall, Stella."

Before things became ugly, I declined Stella's invitation and entered the Maybach when Jerry pulled over five meters away.

I took long strides before any of them could say a word. But then, I heard Stella question Crazy George.

"Why did you treat her like that, George? You should be nice to your girlfriend."

"She's not my girlfriend! I've told you that already, Stella."

I closed my eyes after George enunciated that. Well, I am happy he kept denying the wrong assumptions of others; however, it annoys me that his tone was full of disgust. I should be the one who feels displeased with being linked to him.

A person like him, I would never desire to be my boyfriend. Why would I? He has a terrible temper and is such a cynical man. I will instead choose to stay single if the only man left in this world is like him.

"Are you feeling okay, Miss Krishna? I heard you were unwell last night." Jerry peeked in the rearview mirror to study my features. Indeed. I don't feel well, as Crazy George has become my nightmare. We just met one day, but so many things happened between us.

It was the reason I was determined to locate Camilla. Thus, I opened up a discussion regarding the woman we saw last night.

"Jerry, do you know that Mr. Florian Graham is married?" I asked Jerry.

Jerry peeked through the rearview mirror and studied me for a while before he replied. "Yes, Miss. I just learned recently. Isn't she the woman you were with just now?"

I met Jerry's clear eyes gazing at me. I nodded and pursed my lips with a bitter smile. "Then you have the idea who the woman Mr. Florian kissed last night."

Jerry nodded. He said hesitantly, "So, your friend is Mr. Florian's mistress?"

I keep silent momentarily as I ponder how to explain everything simply.

I cannot accept that my friend is just someone's mistress. Camilla graduated with flying colors. She was intelligent and famous during our college years. But what is happening to her now?

"I think Mr. Florian's wife didn't know he had an affair, and his mistress was in the same city as her. I wanted to know where my friend is staying in this city. Now I understand why she is hiding from me. Could you help me search for her, Jerry?"

Jerry looked stunned when I said that. He glanced at me through the rearview mirror and asked, "Miss, are you sure about this? Are you going to confront your friend?"

I nodded, and Jerry fell silent. He is pondering over my request.

"It looks difficult when we don't have a lead, Miss." After a momentary pause, Jerry explained. "I'll be honest with you. I don't know where to begin searching for her, including in every corner of this vast city. I am not sure if you know that the residents of this city are millions. And a possibility that she is staying outside the city. There are several estates where wealthy people reside."

I understand Jerry's reasoning, but I have an idea, thanks to my pastime of binge-watching all the time, as I was a fan of mystery and crime movies.

"Jerry, could you gather some information about Mr. Florian's meeting with his business partners today?"

"Miss… Are you suggesting for me to tail him?"

I nodded and looked at Jerry with pleading eyes.

"I am sure he will visit his mistress. Please, I need your help, Jerry. Don't worry! I am paying for your extra service."

Yesterday, I didn't have a penny, but not today. While preparing to leave for shopping, I received a call that offered me a part-time job. I read the contract, and the clauses were all to my advantage, plus I have generous benefits.

I would immediately reject the offer without a second thought if they offered it before I learned about Camilla's forbidden affair. But they were going to pay me handsomely. Since I plan to move out of the hotel, I need more money to cover my expenses to search for Camilla.

Since I was offering Jerry a generous amount, he fell silent. I think he was considering my request's pros and cons.

Graham is influential in Asia, particularly in this country, even though they were originally from Europe. So it is not favorable for us to go against those big shots.

However, I place a scenario in Jerry's head. I acted like I was doing this for Stella, the legal wife, even though the mistress was my best friend. I told the poor guy, "I won't tolerate my friend doing such things."

Now, at present, Jerry is tailing Florian. Therefore, I am waiting for the result of his investigation.

As for me, I will try my best to buy so much time. I will accompany Stella all day and bear Crazy George's hostility. From time to time, he would glare at me.

"Oh, my gosh, Krishna! I didn't know you were ANNA'S COLLECTION Ambassadress!"

It pulled me back to my senses when Stella squealed before me. I followed her index finger, pointing at the giant advertising billboard inside the massive mall of this city.

'Oh. That's so fast?' I mused.

Even though I already knew that the public would see my face from now on. I was still shocked to see in my own eyes what was really happening.

I'm still astounded, staring at myself wearing the regal dresses I tried on yesterday.

'So it is why Fairy Godmother Donny forced me to try on Anna's latest collections.'
