My Two Billionaire Husbands: A Plan for Revenge-Chapter 36: Extended Contract

"I was told to come in, but I didn’t realize you had company," Cammy remarked quickly as she noticed someone else in Ethan’s office. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Cammy, have a seat, let me introduce Attorney Grace Perez," Ethan said. "She’s a close friend and her law firm works closely with the company. She’ll be helping us with your case."

Attorney Perez stood up and extended her hand, which Cammy gladly accepted.

"Hello, nice to meet you, I am Cammy Watson. I actually recognize you—I’ve seen you on TV in some high-profile cases," Cammy mentioned with admiration and a warm smile.

"That’s great! So, I don’t have to prove my credibility, right? You already know I won those cases!" Grace said with a playful grin, lightening the mood.

"Ah, y-yes. But your fees must be high... I’m not sure how I can afford you," Cammy shyly admitted, lowering her head, and biting her inner cheek in embarrassment.

"Oh, don’t worry about that for now. The first thing we need to work on is your confidence. You need to look strong when we face your ex-husband in court," Grace responded warmly.

Cammy quickly glanced from Attorney Perez to Ethan, confusion flashing across her face.

"Ex-husband? I-I thought this meeting was about my employment here... about figuring out how I can work legally, given that I’m already registered as deceased," Cammy clarified, bewildered.

Grace smiled and quickly responded, "Yes, that too. But from what Ethan had told me, the two issues are connected, so why not tackle them together?"

"Don’t get me wrong, I want both resolved, but like I said, I don’t have the money to pay you," Cammy repeated.

"I heard you the first time, Cammy, and you’re worrying too much. Ethan already explained your situation to me, and I wouldn’t have taken the case if it wasn’t fair to me. It’s all handled," Grace reassured her.

Cammy frowned and looked at Ethan. "I can’t let you pay for this. You’re a dear friend, but this is too much."

"I knew you’d say that, so I’ve already done the math. We can actually put this under our Employee Loan Program. Grace has agreed to bill the company in phases, so it won’t be too much of a burden for you—assuming you agree to it, of course.

Now, you don’t fully meet the program’s requirements since you’re new, but I have the authority to make an exception. All it takes is my signature. And to make you feel more comfortable accepting the offer, I can extend your employment contract, so it won’t feel like the company is doing you a favor. You’ll be required to work here while paying it off. What do you think?" Ethan proposed.

Cammy stared at both of them, taking slow, deep breaths as she considered the offer. It was a good deal, and she couldn’t find any real downside—except it meant she’d need to stay longer at Cross Tech, when she had planned to leave after her project contract ended, all because of Greg.

’What the hell? What am I doing? I got this job before I even met him. I earned it on my own, and I deserve to keep it. Why should I give up a job with a great salary just because we had a one-night stand? I can do this. He doesn’t even need to know I work here,’ Cammy thought.

"If you’re certain this won’t cause any trouble for you, then I’ll gladly accept," Cammy said.

"Yes! That’s my best friend!" Ethan exclaimed excitedly, causing both women to chuckle. "Thank you for trusting me—you won’t regret this, I promise. You have no idea how happy I am right now; this was the only way you’d agree to let me help."

"Thank you, Ethan. I know you’ve really wanted to help, but you also know I didn’t want to drag you into this mess. I’m grateful you found a way without getting directly involved," Cammy replied.

Ethan handed her the extended contract, and after quickly reviewing it, she signed without hesitation.

"That’s all settled then! Let’s start by exchanging contact info and setting up a meeting. I’d prefer we meet at your place for privacy. Starting today, I want you to head straight home after work—no shopping at the mall, no walking in parks, or visiting crowded places. Stick to online shopping and deliveries. If you absolutely need to go out, make sure your disguise is solid so no one recognizes you. We don’t want your husband getting any hint that you’re alive. We’ll surprise him when we’re ready," Grace advised.

"Got it. I’ve already been planning to do that, and I should probably work on improving my disguise too," Cammy agreed.

"Yes, definitely. Also, I don’t think you should not take the bus anymore. Do you have a car?" Grace asked.

"I don’t, and using a taxi or ride app every day is pretty expensive," Cammy replied.

"Where are you living now? I can pick you up if you’d like," Ethan offered.

"No, that’s not a good idea. I don’t want your girlfriend to get the wrong idea about us. I’ll figure something out. Maybe I’ll get a motorcycle! I’ll have to wear a helmet, which would hide my face," Cammy joked, making everyone laugh.

"I’ll figure it out. For now, I’ll focus on upgrading my disguise so no one recognizes me," she added.

"Sounds good. I’ll review your case and focus on legalizing your employment first. I’ll reach out on Thursday with details for our next meeting," Grace said, standing up and extending her hand to Cammy again.

"Nice meeting you today, Cammy. I know things are tough right now, but hang in there. I’ll help you through this."

Cammy smiled and gave Grace a hug instead. "Thank you. Your words mean a lot—it makes me feel like I’m not alone in this fight."

"You’re not. We’re here to help. I promise to do everything I can so you and your son can live freely," Grace reassured her.

As soon as Grace left Ethan’s office, Cammy turned to him with a wide grin and exclaimed, "Do I really get to keep this job?"

Ethan scoffed, then chuckled, "Seriously, Cammy? After everything Grace said, that’s still your question?"

"I know, right? It just doesn’t feel real. It’s like a dream and no longer a nightmare."

"Come here, I’ll give you a good pinch if you really want to know whether you’re dreaming or not."

"Okay, okay, I believe you! So, are we still having dinner tonight?"

"Yes, I’ve already made reservations. Can you head there first? I’ve got one more meeting. I asked my secretary to book a taxi for you, and you’ll need to confirm the reservation or they’ll cancel it if no one shows up fifteen minutes early. Just stop by her desk and she’ll give you all the details," Ethan explained.

"Sure thing, I’ll go now."

Once Cammy closed the door behind her, Ethan dialed a number on his work phone.

"[Yes, Ethan? Is it done? Did she sign the papers?]"

"Yes, she signed everything and agreed to all the terms. I owe you for this—thanks for your help," Ethan replied.

"[No problem, you don’t owe me a thing. I’m glad you didn’t hesitate to reach out. Give her all the support she needs. And tell Grace to make sure her ex-husband can’t fight back or get her back.]"

"I’ll do that. I don’t want her going back to him either. You have no idea how miserable she was with him. Anyway, thanks again. I’ve got to run—I have a video call with our client. See you later, I already made reservations."

Ethan quickly returned to his computer, eager to wrap up his meeting so he could make it to the restaurant and have dinner with Cammy.
