“I’m fine… Don’t worry about me.” Laura gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her cold demeanor slowly returned.
Peggy’s heart sank.
Indeed, Laura had just been crying.
When Peggy recalled how cold Cameron had been when he returned, she couldn’t help but suspect that he might have done something to Laura.
“Ms. Jones, did that jerk Cameron bully you just now?” She was furious. “No.” Laura shook her head before slowly closing her eyes.
Recalling her words to Cameron earlier, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. However, she had no choice. She could only pretend to be cold and
ruthless.
“He didn’t do anything.” Laura opened her eyes again. Her tone had returned to its usual coldness. “And don’t tell anyone what you just saw.”
“Okay, but Ms. Jones…” Peggy hesitated.
Even though Laura’s tone had returned to normal, Peggy could still sense Laura’s unusual emotion.
It obviously had something to do with Cameron.
“Let’s go back, Peggy.” Laura snapped her out of her thoughts.
“Yes, Ms. Jones.”
On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was solemn.
Peggy clutched the hem of her skirt tightly.
After being by Laura’s side for so many years, she had come to think of herself as Laura’s closest person.
However, she had never seen Laura like that before.
She wanted to ask Laura the reason, but she was afraid of causing her more pain.
