Dewitt didn’t expect Camila to refuse.
“If you felt that these conditions were not suitable, shall I take you to have a face–to–face conversation with Yvette?”
“No need, Dr. Booker. I already appreciate your help today. Please thank Yvette on my behalf later. Thank her for believing in me. But I truly couldn’t handle it.”
Dewitt still wanted to continue persuading Camila when Yvette walked in through the door.
“Was the contract signed?”
“Camila felt that she was not capable of handling this job. She did not want to sign the contract,” Dewitt said, slightly disappointed. In fact, he wanted to keep Camila at Glory Gaming. This way, he would have more opportunities to spend time with her.
All of this seemed within Yvette’s expectations.
Yvette smiled and held Camila’s hand, “Have you made up your mind? Whatever decision you make, I’ll support you.”
Camila was touched. She didn’t expect Yvette to not blame her.
Then Yvette continued, “Actually, this three–year contract is standard. If you trust me, let’s make a verbal agreement. As one of the brand ambassadors for our Glory Gaming group, you will be paid 8,000 dollars for each event you attend. Your

appearance fee will be paid in full each time. Does that sound good to you?”
Camila nodded, “This method is good.”
Camila felt that, after all, without a contract binding her, she could reject this job at any time if she didn’t want to do it.
“Since you agree, we will consider you attending the event tonight. I will have my assistant transfer 8,000 dollars to your card later. However, you need to change into a different outfit to accompany Dewitt in entertaining today’s guests.”
Yvette wanted to take a step back to move forward. She planned to first sweeten Camila up before making other demands.
Maxwell, standing behind the clothes rack, saw everything clearly.
Yvette may not have intended to sign this contract with Camila from the beginning. However, out of respect for Dewitt, Yvette deliberately let Dewitt hit a snag, and then she appeared in time to resolve the situation.
Yvette felt confident that even though Camila had already signed the contract when she arrived, she would be able to convince Camila to give it up and choose the alternative
solution she offered.
As for that alternative plan, Yvette was merely saving face for Dewitt. And verbal agreements are as good as no
agreements. Yvette suggested settling the expenses on a per occasion basis to avoid owing Camila any favors. At the same time, Yvette also proposed a condition for Camila to
accompany Dewitt in entertaining guests.

Maxwell’s conjecture that Camila accompanying Dewitt to entertain guests was probably added by Yvette at the last minute. Yvette did this in order to let Dewitt meet more business friends and prepare him for taking over the company in the future. With Camila’s company, even if Dewitt resists, he will not miss the opportunity to showcase his charm in front of Camila. As the saying goes, make the most of what you have.
Maxwell was surprised by Aden’s ability to have such a meticulous mind. He thought that a seemingly innocent and carefree girl could have such tactics, truly extraordinary.
Yvette quickly delivered a set of evening gowns to Camila and sent a stylist to redo her makeup.
Camila didn’t know when Maxwell had left. But after the recent interaction, she realized that Maxwell had a good judgment of people.
Yvette seemed simple, but she was actually very cunning. However, Camila understood that as the heiress of a major corporation, Yvette couldn’t possibly be a naive and innocent
person.
Camila knew all the arrangements for tonight, such as the addition of the temporary ambassador selection segment, which was entirely Yvette showing Dewitt respect.
In Yvette’s eyes, what mattered was not Camila, but Dewitt. Realizing this, Camila actually relaxed.
Camila finished her makeup and walked out of the door, only to see Dewitt waiting for her.

Yvette intended to introduce Dewitt to the boss of Startak Gaming. However, she didn’t know the boss of Startak Gaming, so she had to find a guestbook for signatures. Yvette discovered that someone had already taken the nameplate of Startak Gaming, and the signatures in the guestbook were also in Maxwell’s foreign name – Kevin.
Camila glanced at the signature book and felt like she had seen that signature somewhere before.
Camila wondered, “Kevin? Is the boss of Startak Gaming a foreigner?”
Unable to find Kevin, Yvette had no choice but to take Dewitt to meet the bosses of several other collaborating companies. After a round of formalities, they began to toast each other frequently.
Dewitt had a low alcohol tolerance, so Camila had to step up and take the responsibility of drinking for him.
Camila also overestimated her alcohol tolerance. After just two drinks, she started feeling dizzy.
Watching those malicious men continuously urging Camila to drink, Dewitt, fueled by alcohol, held Camila in his arms, forbidding anyone else from making her drink again.
“Mr. Booker, you are being too stingy. Ms. Lambert didn’t say anything, and yet you are already starting to feel sorry.” someone teased intentionally.
“She’s just a girl, so don’t give her a hard time,” Dewitt told Camila, asking her to take a break.

Dizzy Camila arrived at the booth. As soon as she sat down, she saw a man wearing a tailcoat and a fox mask walking towards her.
It has to be said that Yvette is a master at setting the atmosphere. She was afraid that everyone wouldn’t have fun playing face–to–face, so she prepared masks for each guest.
As the party reached its climax, more and more guests wore masks. Some guests even changed into game–themed costumes specially prepared for the party, dressing up as their favorite game characters.
Camila had to admit that rich people really know how to have fun.
Camila glanced at the name tag on the chest of the man wearing a fox mask, “Startak Gaming – Kevin.”
At this moment, the man wearing a fox mask spoke. He spoke in a fluent foreign language.
The man asked Camila what her relationship with Dewitt was as soon as he opened his mouth.
Camila also didn’t hold back and retorted in a foreign language, “Do you foreigners also like to pry into other people’s privacy?”
“Privacy?” The man with the fox mask smirked, “Are you two dating?”
“Does it have anything to do with you?” Camila felt that Kevin was quite nosy. “Are you from Startak Gaming?”
The man with the fox mask nodded.

“Do you know Samson?”

The man with the fox mask snorted coldly, “He has been fired for violating company regulations.”
Camila didn’t expect that Samson had just found a job and then became unemployed again. Moreover, this time he was fired by the most famous company in the industry. This effectively ruined his career.
“What? Are you feeling sorry? You sure have a lot of people you’re concerned about,” the man with the fox mask sneered.
Camila didn’t want to talk to him anymore, she stood up and was about to leave.
At this moment, a middle–aged man walked towards us. This person was none other than the boss of Pinnacle Company.
Camila remembered that Maxwell said he worked at Pinnacle
Company.
“Ms. Lambert, haven’t we met somewhere before?” Bruce approached and greeted.
Camila thought, “This trick is so cliché.”
“Is it? Maybe I looked ordinary. It’s normal for you to find me familiar,” Camila laughed.
“Ms. Lambert, how can someone as beautiful as you have an ordinary appearance? May I ask if you had a boyfriend?” Bruce’s small eyes scanned Camila up and down.
“I was already married,” Camila detested this kind of creepy middle–aged man.

“That’s a shame. I had just gotten divorced,” Bruce said as he walked over and reached out to wrap his arm around Camila’s
waist.
But someone was faster than Bruce. The man with the fox mask extended his long arm and grabbed Camila, causing Bruce to miss his target.
“Who are you?” Bruce looked at the man wearing a fox mask with dissatisfaction. His expression changed when he saw the name tag of the man with the fox mask.
