My Two Billionaire Husbands: A Plan for Revenge-Chapter 84: Just Familiarity

Cammy arrived at the office early after dropping Dylan off at school. While waiting for the elevator, her phone buzzed with a text from Ethan.

[Hey, saw you in the lobby. You’re early. Meet me at the coffee shop across the street for breakfast. I’m starving.]

Smiling, Cammy headed to the coffee shop. As she entered, she spotted Ethan in the queue, waving at her.

"Good morning! Do you always go to work this early?" Cammy asked with a grin.

"Most days, yeah. Had to deal with some supply issues, so I didn’t get a chance to eat at home," Ethan replied. "Hey, you are early too."

"I dropped Dylan to his boarding school that’s why."

"What can I get you?" Ethan asked.

"An Americano latte and a blueberry muffin would be great," she said.

"Got it. Go grab us a table," Ethan replied with a nod.

Cammy nodded and quickly took a seat by the window. It wasn’t long before Ethan joined her.

"So, I heard about what happened last Sunday. Ellie filled me in," Ethan began. "Sorry I haven’t reached out—I’ve been swamped since Monday. Spill the details."

Cammy smirked and sighed. "Which part did Ellie tell you about?"

"Both," Ethan replied with a teasing grin. "The Duncan and Annie drama and your unexpected interaction with our boss."

Cammy groaned playfully, covering her face with her hands as she chuckled. "Oh my God, where do I even begin?" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"I think I understand your decision about our boss," Ethan began, leaning back in his chair with a knowing look. "It seems to me like this whole thing might just be an act. Given his history with Annie, it’s pretty obvious he holds a grudge against her and Duncan. So, my guess is you and Greg are scheming something against them, and you’re not actually together. Am I right?"

Cammy’s eyes widened in surprise, a smile spreading across her face. She was thoroughly impressed by how spot-on Ethan’s theory was. "Wow, Ethan. You could seriously write drama scripts with insights like that. You nailed it."

"I knew it!" Ethan said triumphantly, reaching for his croissant. "I mean, come on, there’s no way you’d actually be in a real relationship with Greg. The guy’s a total womanizer, and I know you better than that."

Cammy swallowed hard at his words, feeling a flicker of unease. She took a deliberate sip of her coffee before forcing a response. "Right..."

"Don’t worry, Cammy. My lips are sealed," Ethan assured her with a grin. "Greg is a solid choice for a partner in crime. He’s relentless when it comes to achieving goals, and he always ensures he comes out on top. Both he and Duncan are strong-willed, but Greg has an edge—he’s got better control over his emotions. Some even say he doesn’t have emotions at all."

"Is he really like that? I mean, no emotions?" Cammy asked skeptically, narrowing her eyes.

"No, I don’t buy that," Ethan said with a chuckle. "I think he’s actually more emotional than Duncan. However, the difference is that Greg channels his emotions in a way that works for him. Whether it’s a good or bad situation, he knows how to turn it to his advantage. That’s why he’s so successful at whatever he sets his mind to. Speaking of which, I hope he can help me sort out the issues we’re having with our supplies."

"What’s going on with the supplies?" Cammy asked with interest.

"I’m not entirely sure," Ethan admitted in a serious tone. "It’s strange—our suppliers are running into unexpected problems shipping our orders, both internationally and domestically. This has never happened before. If I had to guess, it almost feels like someone’s deliberately interfering, trying to block the shipments from reaching us."

"Is that even possible these days?" Cammy asked, her brow furrowed. "I mean, port authorities are pretty strict when it comes to illegal activities, right?"

"Yes, that’s generally true," Ethan replied, leaning back in his chair. "But there’s always a chance they’re involved, too. You never know, Cammy. People can be inherently corrupt. Greg has built a lot of allies thanks to his generosity and influence, but that also means he’s made just as many enemies. Envy is a powerful motivator, so it wouldn’t be shocking if someone’s deliberately sabotaging our shipments."

Cammy’s eyes lit up as a memory resurfaced. "You know what? This reminds me of something Duncan mentioned to my father a long time ago when he was still working. Something similar happened to my father’s company. It started with issues like this—problems with shipments—and it eventually led to the company’s downfall."

Ethan’s expression darkened at her revelation. Though Cammy spoke casually, he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to her story. ’I really need to get this investigated,’ he thought to himself, his mind already working on a plan.

"So, what’s your plan regarding Duncan?" Ethan asked, steering the conversation back to Cammy’s situation.

"I’m just waiting for my death certificate to be officially retracted," Cammy replied. "Grace will then move forward with the next steps since Duncan refused to sign the papers. She mentioned needing to attempt a private settlement first, to try and convince Duncan before taking the matter to court.

Honestly, I don’t want to see Duncan again. I’m hoping the settlement discussions can just happen between the lawyers without involving us directly."

"Do you still love him?" Ethan asked bluntly.

Cammy sighed and stared out the window, watching people pass by. "I still have feelings for him, Ethan. I’ve known him since high school, and I’ve been in love with him for so long. It’s not something that just disappears overnight. But I’m not even sure if it’s love I’m feeling anymore... or just familiarity."

Ethan pressed his lips together, his heart aching for his friend. He knew how much Cammy had endured with Duncan, and all he wanted was for her to finally let go of the man completely and find peace.

"How about trying therapy? Or maybe taking up a new hobby to get your mind off him? It might help," Ethan suggested gently.

Cammy nodded thoughtfully. "I think you’re right. I’ll give it a shot, Ethan. I’ll find ways to keep myself busy, to focus on moving forward and forgetting everything tied to Duncan."

Ethan leaned forward and with a spark of determination in his tone, he said, "Or maybe... you could start opening your heart again. Let someone else in. Sometimes, another man’s presence can help you heal, you know? Honestly, I don’t even think you love Duncan anymore. You’re just so used to his manipulation that your mind has tricked you into thinking you do."

Cammy let out a laugh at Ethan’s bold suggestion. "What man are you talking about? I don’t exactly have anyone lining up to sweep me off my feet."

Ethan smirked knowingly. "Ellie told me Ricardo is really serious about you. Have you thought about giving him a chance? He could be the one to help you heal and finally move on."

Cammy chuckled softly, shaking her head. "You and Ellie gossip about me way too much. Ric is a good guy—too good to be anyone’s rebound. Even with my broken heart, I wouldn’t want to use him like that."

"Are you sure that’s it?" Ethan countered, his gaze piercing. "Or are you just in denial? Or perhaps, someone else had already entered your heart?"

His words lingered in Cammy’s mind, stirring her thoughts as she began to question her true feelings for Ric for the first time. But then Greg also crossed her mind due to his last words.
