Camila’s POV Post

The following morning, I received a call from Adrian. “Evelyn, I hope I’m not catching you at a bad time

“Not at all. What’s up?”

“Have you heard anything about the recent concerns surrounding TexCore technology?”

I frowned. “TexCore? You mean that new technology several companies have been adopting?”

“Exactly. There’s some troubling information circulating about it. My mother came across something concerning and thought I should alert you before it becomes public.”

“What sort of trouble?”

“Apparently, there may be serious technical flaws. We’re still trying to verify the information, but there’s a possibility the issue could surface within days. I don’t know whether Whitmore Group has any plans to adopt it, but I’d advise you to stay clear of it for now.”

“Thank you for the warning. I’ll certainly look into it. Fortunately, we haven’t incorporated it into any of our operations. Please thank Professor Tessa for thinking of me.”

“I’m glad to hear that. We just didn’t want you walking into a problem you could have avoided.”

“I appreciate it, Adrian. I owe you and your mother dinner.”

After ending the call, I remained at my desk, thinking about what he’d told me. Then I remembered Alpha Philip’s company. I quickly pulled up the documents from our recent meeting and searched through its company profile. I had a vague recollection of seeing TexCore mentioned somewhere in its product development records.

My suspicion was confirmed. Several of the company’s products depended on the technology. If the reports were accurate and TexCore suffered a major failure, those products could become practically worthless. Entering a partnership with the company under those circumstances could expose Whitmore Group to considerable losses. Thankfully, nothing had been finalised. We hadn’t signed any agreement, so there was

still room to reconsider.

But something else caught my attention. Alpha Philip had mentioned that NEXZONE was offering him a much

better deal than we were.

Did Roman know about the potential problems with TexCore?

Susan was overseeing the negotiations, and I couldn’t be certain whether she’d brought the matter to his attention. Roman had several major business interests to manage. It wasn’t unreasonable to assume that he might not be personally involved in every detail of the deal.

It wasn’t my business but somehow I decided to speak with him directly. Picking up my phone, I dialled his

number.

He answered after the first ring. “Hello?”

“It’s Camila.”

“I know.” I could almost picture the amused expression on his face.

“Are you free for dinner sometime?” I asked.

A low chuckle came through the phone. “Interesting. Are you trying to bribe my cooperation over dinner, Miss Whitmore?”

Perhaps I should offer you a little incentive, Alpha Blackwell. If you’d sign that contract, you’d make my life considerably easier.” I paused, then added, “But that’s not the only reason I called. There’s something else want to discuss with you.”

“Should I expect another business proposal, or is this something personal?”

“Would it make any difference?”

“Absolutely.” His voice took on a teasing note. “If it’s business, you’ll have to arrange an appointment through my assistant, Elis Kain. My schedule is rather tight. I doubt he’ll find you an opening before next mon.” rolled my eyes. “However, if this is personal, I might be persuaded to make time for you tonight.”

There it was again. That suggestive tone he loved using whenever he got the chance. “It’s business,” I replied firmly. “You can either hear me out now or leave it. But don’t blame me later if you miss something important.”

I wasn’t particularly eager to share the information, but I thought he deserved a heads–up. After all, he’d helped me recently, and he’d once joked that I owed him a favour. This seemed like a reasonable way to repay him.

“Now you’ve made me curious.”

“Good. Because I’m not calling to waste your time.”

He laughed. “Alright. Let’s discuss it over dinner tonight. My favourite business partner deserves a meeting, doesn’t she?”

I hesitated, surprised by how quickly he’d agreed. We’d tried arranging dinner before, but something always seemed to interfere. This time, he sounded determined to make it happen.

“What would you like to eat?” I asked.

“I’m not particular. It depends on how much effort you’re willing to put into impressing me, Miss Hart.”

I already had a restaurant in mind. It wasn’t luxurious, but the food was excellent, and I was confident he’d enjoy it. “Do you have any dietary restrictions? Or would you prefer somewhere more upscale?”

“I’m leaving the choice to you. I want to see how sincere this invitation is.”

“Fine. I’ll send you the location.”

“Not so fast. I don’t remember agreeing to meet you anywhere yet.”

I frowned. “What’s the problem now?”

“Shouldn’t the person doing all this persuading come and pick me up?”

I pressed my lips together. He was certainly making the most of this opportunity. “Alright. I’ll come by and get you before dinner.”

“That’s more like it.” I was about to end the call when he spoke again.

“And Camila, let’s make sure nothing interrupts us this time. I don’t want another last–minute cancellation or an unexpected guest.”

I laughed. “You worry too much. I’ll even switch off my phone if that’s what it takes. Nothing is going to interfere with our plans tonight.”

“Good. I’ll be waiting.”

After hanging up, I checked my calendar. My evening was clear. No meetings, no appointments, nothing that could possibly disrupt our plans. At last, Roman and I were going to have dinner together without an interruption.

Unfortunately, I spoke too soon. I had just packed my things and was leaving the office when my phone rang. It was the housekeeper at my grandmother’s residence.

“Miss Evelyn, please, you need to come quickly. She–Alpha Amelia has collapsed. We’ve rushed her to the hospital.”

My steps came to an abrupt halt. “What? What happened to my grandmother?”

“It happened so suddenly, Luna. We don’t know what’s wrong.”

“Which hospital? Send me the address. I’m on my way!”

I ended the call, my heart pounding. Roman, dinner, and the contract disappeared from my thoughts. Al could think about was Grandma Amelia. She was my only family.
