She was afraid of losing him, of losing this man.
"It... it's confidential files from the company, I don't know how Yale Shaw got his hands on them." In the end, she still came up with an unfounded excuse, simply because she didn't want to lose him.
Upon hearing this, Clayton Howard's brows slightly furrowed, his belief in her words wavering.
"So, Yale Shaw has been threatening you with this all along?" He looked at her, recalling the humiliation and pain she had suffered these past few days. A sudden twinge in his heart filled him with tenderness for her.
Camila Walker nodded, hoping that this would make him believe her. But by doing so, she had told another lie...
She looked up, her gaze intensely fixed on the man before her, her eyes filled with earnestness.
"Clayton Howard, please believe me, whatever I do, whatever I say, it's because I'm afraid of losing you."
Watching her moist eyes, Clayton Howard gently drew her into his arms.
"Mhm."
