All Chapters of My One-Night Stand Was My Stepbrother: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Camila's POV“Sabotage?" Charles repeated as he looked at me curiously.It was obvious that the thought had to have crossed their minds more than once.The only problem was, none of them seemed to have given it deep thought.“That's quite a bold accusation, Ms Hansel," Daniel said.I was about to roll my eyes and ignore him, as my body was demanding, but I couldn't.We were working, and I needed to be professional. I turned my attention to him and asked him,“How many companies were you up against to get this project?"He remained silent, and all eyes slowly shifted to Charles. “I don't have the exact figure, but we received quite a number of applications for this project." With a snap of a finger, everyone had stopped treating it like a mistake. We were all trying to look at it and figure out how someone could have tried to sabotage it."And how many were shortlisted?” I asked.Charles didn't seem to have that number at the top of his head as well, but he was determined to give me a

Camila's POV“You knew," I accessed as I made my way into Charles' office.His eyes didn't leave the paperwork that was in front of him. “That was faster than I thought it would be." His comment confirmed my thoughts. I quickly shut the door behind me and walked up to his desk.“You knew that Margaret was the woman next to me all this time, and you told me to find her on my own.It's almost as if you could tell that I wasn't going to have to look far and wide to find her,” I added as he finally looked and finally locked eyes with me.It was nearly the end of work day, and I had spent the better half of the time since finding out who Margaret was, debating on whether to go and tell him about it or not."Margaret approved those plans, not by accident, but because we think that she might be working with someone who wants to sabotage the deal we have with Prime Ventures,” Charles told me.With a tilt of my head, I stared at him and said, "That's not possible!”“You're the one that discov

Camila's POV“What do you mean it has just begun? This site was one of the first ones that were named to start and pave the way for all the others,”I almost thought that I was tripping, till I looked at the documents on my tablet and confirmed that Riverdale was truly one of the sites that was supposed to be ahead of all the others.The manager's eyes became shifty, and his hesitation was starting to make me a bit nervous.Some things were not adding up, and I was trying my best to keep calm and not lose my shit. As if the site looked and sounded like a shit show was not enough, they were so late on their schedule that I started to wonder what was actually happening.For a moment, I almost started asking myself if they were truly workers from Prime Ventures.I turned back to look at the site manager, wondering what choice of words I could use that were going to remain professional but still get my message heard.“The water pipe that we hit was one of the things that set us back a cou

Camila's POV“Do you know what that means?" Charles asked over the phone.The answer was right in front of me. “Margaret had her hands deeper into whatever she was doing than what we thought,"I could literally hear him tapping his fingers on his desk, which sounded something between a mixture of anger and concern.“Do whatever you have to do. If you can find more shitstorms that she started fast, we might be able to stop all of this before it comes back to bite us," That was all I needed, a confirmation from Charles so that I could do further digging. When I walked back to where Daniel and the site manager were standing, Daniel was just ending a call that he was on."So, the driver just confirmed that his team is ready to go and get what remains of our materials,”It was a quick roundup, and that's what we needed at that moment. We couldn't afford to lose a single second."Let's pray that no one noticed such a huge shipment sitting unguarded in an abandoned property,” I muttered und

Camila's POVNo one talks about having to step away from work when you're so used to working and when things are just getting heated.The day that I sprained my leg, I went straight home where Raymond and my mother were eagerly waiting for me.“How's that ankle?" Mom immediately asked as she rushed over to the car.When I lifted my head, I was shocked to see that a doctor was already standing behind her, ready to attend to me.“Not as bad as it looks," I answered as I was secretly wondering how they knew about it so fast and had the doctor ready at home for me.She helped me down from the car, the doctor stepped forward and was about to help, but I immediately gave him a stare.“It's not as bad as it looks. I'll be fine in a day or two," I said to him.It's not that I didn't want him to step in, but I was secretly scared that he was going to step in and give me the news that I was desperately avoiding.“Miss Hansel, your ankle looks like it's about to give birth. I don't know what the
