Mistaken Marriage, Unexpected Love

Chapter 23

Camila immediately ducked behind one of the massive pillars adorning the building’s facade.

She peeked at them, careful not to reveal herself. She had to admit that Isaac and Debora made a good match. For him to attend tonight’s gathering, he must like Debora very much.

Besides, practically every staff member of the hospital would be in attendance. They would surely speculate about the pair’s relationship.

“Thank you for coming today, Isaac,” Debora said softly. Her makeup was exquisite, and the dress she wore hugged her figure perfectly. She offered a shy smile at her companion and batted her eyes at him.

“It's no big deal,” Isaac replied. “We are friends.” He was only here because of the favor he owed her for that night.

As for Debora, she had grown to fancy Isaac rather quickly, and wanted nothing more than to be intimate with him. Unfortunately, in her attempt to make a good impression during their last meeting, she had effectively removed that option for herself. She had no choice but to stick to her word for now, and hope their friendship would develop into something more.

They passed through the pillars, and Camila slowly edged in the opposite direction.

She realized that she didn’t want to face Isaac, and decided to call Debora with some excuse about being needed elsewhere. Camila took out her phone and was about to press the call button when another colleague arrived and called out her name.

It caught the attention of the people nearby, including Debora. She turned to look at Camila.

He raised an eyebrow. So, this woman was also a doctor in Wellness Hospital? “It's quite all right,” Debora said with a gracious smile, making a point of moving closer to Isaac

Isaac had forbidden Camila from revealing to anyone that she was his wife, so she did just that and pretended that she didn’t know him.

“Is this your boyfriend?” Camila smiled, her eyes bright and clear.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Debora only continued to smile and said nothing.

Isaac was silent, too, though his eyes took on a sharp edge as they fixed on Camila. He wanted to see how she would react in this situation.

To his disappointment, his new wife chuckled and said, “You two make a perfect couple.”

Isaac’s fingers twitched. He had the sudden urge to walk up to her and wipe that damn smile off her face!

Well aware of the man’s vicious tendencies, Camila wasted no time making her escape.

“Well, | won’t keep you any longer. Please excuse me.”

She rushed over to the colleague who had called her just now, hooked arms with her, and hurried inside the hotel.
