Chapter 88 as Alarm bells were going off in Camille's mind, but she flashed a smile and asked, "And who might this be?" "I'm his secretary," Hera replied casually, "What's your last name? You look young, like a 17 or 18-year-old teenager," Camille probed further.

"You don't have to know." Hera telt irritated as she glanced at their hands. Was this just a handshake or were they holding hands? Taken aback by Hera's response, Camille remained silent.

But Bernard didn't express his opinion, and Camille was at a loss for words. Whether it was her imagination or not, Bernard seemned oddly attentive to his secretary. He was occasionally stealing glances her way.
