Chapter 135

Cameron's gaze was like a hawk zeroing in on Nellie, simmering with resentment. But Nellie stood tall, meeting

his stare head-on, defiant and unwavering. Sensing the tension, Nathan smoothly excused his friends and leaned

in to whisper to Nellie, "I'll be waiting in the car. Just callif you need me." She nodded in response.

Cameron moved closer, his presence almost suffocating. Towering over her, he spoke through gritted teeth,

"Nellie, you're really pulling out all the stops for this divorce. Fine, have it your way! But let's get one thing

straight: once it's done, we're done. No ties whatsoever." Nellie's eyes sparkled with a fierce determination.

"Cameron, don't worry. After the divorce, you and | will be done with each other."

Cameron's pride stung, and he was baffled at her confidence in leaving him behind. He tried to bring her back to

reality. "Nellie, you've had it easy for too long. Do you really think you can just slip into Nathan's world? Without

the Mrs. Dawson badge, you're nothing. You're acting all high and mighty after a few days as a secretary."

Nellie just gave him a knowing smile.

Cameron had always seen Nellie as delicate, but he had no idea that since withdrawing her love, she'd been

laser-focused on her career, carving out her own path. Nathan? He was just a cherry on top, not her saving

grace.

"Nellie, remember, no matter how tough it gets, don't crunning back to me," Cameron warned, biting back

his frustration.

Nellie rolled her eyes. "Cameron, why are you so convinced that I'll fall apart without you?"

"You'll only be a woman without a safety net. You don't get it, do you?" Cameron retorted.

Nellie's face flushed with determination. "I don't need a safety net. | am my own safety net."

Having lived a life where everyone let her down, she knew better than to rely on anyone but herself.

Cameron found her resolve amusing. "Nellie, let's see how that goes."

Nellie was done with the conversation. "Cameron, see you at the courthouse tomorrow. Don't back out this time."

Then, she turned and walked away.

Cameron shouted after her, "Nellie, delete your social media accounts!"

She waved him off, "Divorce first, then we'll talk."

Cameron was left fuming.

As she settled into Nathan's car, Nellie's slight smile caught Nathan's attention. "So, he finally agreed?" Nathan

teased.

Nellie nodded, unable to hide her joy. "Yep."

Nathan let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. Then, with a playful grin, he suggested, "To celebrate

your soon-to-be freedom, how about a fancy dinner tonight?" Nellie happily agreed.

As soon as Nathan parked, Nellie jumped out to open the passenger door for him, all formal-like.

Nathan paused, a shadow crossing his bright eyes. "You don't have to stay in character. It's after hours. Even

secretaries clock out."
