My Two Billionaire Husbands: A Plan for Revenge-Chapter 35: Given a Chance

Cammy lowered her head, her voice trembling as she said, "E-Ethan."

"What are you doing here?" Ethan asked, startled to see her, especially since only employees with badges could access that floor, and visitors weren’t permitted.

"I’m sorry I didn’t tell you," she began, "but this is where I work. I wanted it to be a surprise, but now... I’m not even sure if I still have a job."

"What do you mean?" Ethan asked, confused. It was only her first day.

"Duncan already filed my death certificate, and HR found out because they couldn’t process my documents under my social security number," Cammy explained, her voice heavy with disappointment. "I begged them to keep my identity a secret because I was not ready to confront Duncan yet. They said they understand and will try to help, but I know there’s only so much they can do."

"Who have you talked to about this?" Ethan asked.

"HR and my project manager. They’re in the meeting room and—"

Before she could finish, Ethan gripped her arms and cut in, "You’re heading to the bathroom, right? Go now, then head back to the meeting room in twenty minutes. I’ll talk to them first."

"B-But—" Cammy began, but Ethan was already hurrying off toward the meeting room, leaving her standing there.

Cammy sighed as she watched him go, then made her way to the bathroom. She washed away the traces of her earlier tears and, just as Ethan instructed, returned to the meeting room twenty minutes later. Only Chiqui was there waiting for her.

"Mr. Reyes told me to come back here. W-Where’s the HR manager?" Cammy asked, glancing around.

"She went with Mr. Reyes," Chiqui replied with a smile. "I think today’s your lucky day, Cammy! He’s exactly the person you need on your side. He asked HR to follow him, and I’m pretty sure he’s going to help you."

"Really? Do you think he can help me?" Cammy asked, feigning ignorance about who Ethan really was to her.

"Yeah, I think so," Chiqui replied. "While you were in the bathroom, he asked us about you. He said he saw you crying on the way there, and when we told him what you shared with us, I think he was moved by your story. Between you and me, he’s kind of naive and soft-hearted—like a teenage girl," Chiqui teased with a grin.

Cammy couldn’t help but silently agree, knowing Ethan all too well.

"He and I started working here around the same time, but he’s really good at what he does and just kept getting promoted. Now, he’s our Chief Operations Officer, and if anyone can help you keep this job, it’s him."

"Wow, I don’t even know what to say. Having someone like the COO help me... I feel really lucky," Cammy said, still processing everything.

"Don’t worry about it, and don’t feel like you owe him anything either. It’s not a free ride though—he’ll make you work for it," Chiqui added with a wink. "He’s helped a lot of people here, and they’re all still loyal to the company because of how kind he is."

’Ethan seems important and powerful around here... Now I’m getting curious,’ Cammy thought, trying to suppress her urge to ask more questions. But with Chiqui eager to share what she knew, it might be wise to take advantage of the moment.

"I don’t mind if he makes me work for it. That’s what I should do after everything the company’s done to keep me," Cammy said thoughtfully. "But what about the CEO? Is he as nice as Mr. Reyes?"

"Mr. Cross? Are you interested in him?" Chiqui joked.

Cammy’s eyes widened as she quickly waved her hands in denial. "What? No, no! It’s just that he treated the new hires to lunch, but didn’t show up. Plus, I saw him on TV the other day, so I got curious."

"Relax, Cammy, I’m just messing with you," Chiqui said with a laugh. "I actually don’t know much about the CEO. I haven’t even met him in person. Maybe that lunch thing was because of the news. His PR team probably advised him to be more visible after his ex-fiancée trashed him on TV and online."

"So he doesn’t socialize with his employees?" Cammy asked, her curiosity piqued but also feeling a sense of relief. If Greg didn’t mingle with his staff, even the managers, then maybe she was safe after all.

"He doesn’t. Well, I do understand why. Running this kind of company would literally take all his time. He doesn’t even show up at annual events. It was just usually Mr. Reyes and his assistant Mr. Parker who handled those."

"I see..." Cammy uttered feeling happy since she would be able to do her job properly at Cross Tech without the fear of running into Greg.

After a while, Chiqui’s phone beeped and she read the text message for a few seconds before turning to Cammy. "Well, well, well... Congratulations Cammy! I just received a message from Mr. Reyes that you’re good to go. He said to proceed with your tasks and he will call you soon so you can sign some documents regarding your employment here. Shall we go back to the production floor then?"

Cammy gasped and covered her mouth while thanking Ethan in her mind. ’I don’t think treating him to a buffet would be enough! I should give him a gift or two! He is just amazing!’

"Oh my God! I think I will cry again! Thank you so much!" Cammy exclaimed.

"Oh no, girl, stop crying, it will ruin your make-up again. Save that for later and wail all you want at home. But for now, let’s go to my station so I can give you your task. I saw the sample website that you submitted and also the website that you created for Pearl Resort and Restaurant, I love it. Let’s see what can you come up with this time."

Cammy nodded and followed Chiqui back to her desk. Chiqui handed her a file. "So, as you know, we are going to create the online site for Crossmart. Here’s the logo and the details that the marketing and sales team came up with.

Create five possible layouts and designs for it. I will email you the soft copy of the logo. Deadline is Friday next week, is it enough time for you?" Chiqui inquired wanting to make sure that Cammy would not be time-pressured but would also not take too much time.

"Yes, that’s more than enough. I might be able to finish it before that." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Cammy enthusiastically started her task in her workstation, she had never felt as excited to work as she was feeling now. She was able to come up with a lot of ideas in just a short time given how motivated she was after being given a chance to stay in Cross Tech.

Later that day, as expected, Ethan had called her to his office to sign the paperwork that made it possible for her to stay.

His secretary told her to go straight into his office since he was expecting her.

She was smiling wide upon entering his office but all of that soon faded the moment she saw who was waiting for her inside.
