Chapter 16
Camila finished the laundry and tossed the clothes into the dryer,
Together with Henric they rétraced their stops. She went back to her room and found herself bored.
So, she just chilled there until 8 pm.
They all sat on the couch in the living room, looking at each other. The director suggested they play some fun games to spice up the mood.
Freddy said, “Let’s play Truth or Dare.”
Mariaclapped her hands and agreed, “Good ideal”
Since they had an early dinner, Camilla rubbed her stomach and glanced at Lori, “Lori, gaming is dull without snacks. How about we grab some munchies and spice things up?”
Maria sneered, “You always have an appetite. Do you ever got full?”
Camilla was instantly annoyed. What was wrong with wanting to eat when she was hungry? Was Maria jealous that she could eat a lot and not gain weight? It must be that. Women’s jealousy was scary.
She snapped back, “You’re so thoughtful. Do you want to count my calories for me too?”
First blood!
“To be honest, are you a drama queen? You thrive on creating
creating conflicts an
sand stirring up trouble with your arguments.”
Double Killl
Camilla looked at Maria and continued, “Ordinary people live and learn. You just live.”
Triple Kill!
Maria stuttered, “You…..you…
“Stop talking, you lower the IQ of the whole room.”
Quadra Kill!
“Someone’s village is missing their idiot!”
Penta killl
Maria couldn’t keep up with Camilla’s sharp tongue and was shaking with rage.
Lori stepped in quickly, “Maria, you always lose to Camilla in arguments, why don’t you learn from your mistakes. Stop fighting. I’ll whip up some snacks.”
“I’ll cut some fruits.” Camilla was feeling smug after the verbal sparring and went to the fridge to take out the fruits they bought earlier.
Henric followed her and asked, “Do you need any help?”
She replied, “Can you rinse the grapes?”
“Okay,” he agreed.
Camilla found a large plate and a fruit knife in the kitchen.

Chapter 16
Since there were many mosquitoes outside at night, they moved the outdoor table into the living room.
Camilla tilted her head and stared at the watermelon, thinking about how to cut it in a creative way.
In the channel, the barrage of bullet comments mocking Camilla was endless.
[She can’t even cut a watermelon?]
Haha, probably
|All she knows is how to cat. What else can she do?]
After washing the grapes, Henric placed them on the table and quietly watched the pensive girl.
Camilla lifted her head and twirled the knife, then settled on a design and began to slice the watermelon at a dazzling speed.
in the light as more and more watermelon slices were added to the plate, each evenly cut.
The knife blade glinted in
After finishing, she peeled and sliced the mango and arranged it next to the watermelon. Finally, she plucked the grapes and placed them in the middle.
Seeing the last remaining mango, Camilla peeled it and sliced it diagonally to create a beautiful fruit roll.
In no time, two lovely fruit flowers appeared in the middle of the large plate.
An exquisite fruit platter was ready.
Henric praised her with a smile. “Camilla, you are really skilled.”
She shook her head and said modestly, “No, no. These are just some tricks I learned.“”
But her smile was wide, and her eyes were proud. She didn’t look humble at all
Henric asked curiously, “Where did you
learn this?”
Camilla answered casually as she washed her hands. “I worked at a bar for a while during my school break, and that’s where I picked it up.”
Henric nodded in understanding.
In the channel, the bullet comments were flying.
[LOL, the one who said Camilla couldn’t cut fruit had egg on his face.
-150 funny! Even a fruit novice can do it. Who said Camilla was a fruit dummy?)
[Wow, her knife skills are amazing]
[Super impressive. I work in a bar kitchen, and honestly, my boss can’t cut fruit as well as her.]
[Awesome!]
Camilla stood on the long corridor, gazing at the sky. The countryside had no light pollution, and the stars were dazzling.
She was deep in thought when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She frowned and quickly grabbed the person’s arm.
“Ah.. a cry came out.
Freddy was flipped over Camilla’s shoulder and landed hard on the ground.

Chapter 16
“Camilla, are you crazy?” Freddy clutched his sore butt and yelled.
Freddy’s eyes were full of rage, and his usual gentle manner was gone. He looked sinister.
Camilla squinted and sneered, showing her true colors.
“Well, maybe I am crazy, but only for you.” Camilla looked down at him with her arms folded. “Didn’t anyone teach you not to touch someone’s shoulder from behind?”
Freddy got up and walked towards her step by step. “You are unreasonable, rude, and don’t know how to be grateful.”
“Hmph!” Camilla snorted.
As Freddy came closer, her ankle twisted slightly. Suddenly, a tall figure stepped in between them.
Henric stood in front of her, his eyes cold as he glared at Freddy. He spoke through his teeth and said, “Go away.
Camilla was a bit surprised to see Henric blocking Freddy’s way, Was he trying to defend her? Did they have such a close relationship? If so, maybe she could ask him for money when she was short on cash.
Freddy’s face turned red with anger. He knew better than to mess with Henric, so he took a deep breath and forced a smile. “Henric, I was just teasing Camilla. We always joke around at work, right Camilla?”
A small head peeked out from behind Henric. Camilla casually said, “You lie without any guilt, how would I question you?”
Freddy was speechless.
He felt a knot in his stomach as he saw Camilla show no respect for him at all. He decided to bite his tongue and deal with it later. When the show was
over, he would make her pay.
Ned whispered off–camera, “Camills, do you want to start a fight on camera? Calm down, or I’ll cut your pay”
She was unhappy and frowned, pouting, “Ned, why are you always after my money? He was the one who touched me
Ned rubbed his sore temples and replied, “But you can’t just toss Freddy to the ground like that.”
Camilla felt even more wronged and exclaimed, “it was just a reflex! Besides, who pats someone’s shoulder like that? That’s so rude, and it will ruin my luck. If I lose my good luck, will you make it up to me?”
Ned was speechless. Camilla had a point that some people were very sensitive about their shoulders being touched.
“Alright, enough,” Ned interrupted, “Let’s drop this. We’re a team, and we need to get along” He glanced at Camilla and added, “Especially you, Camilla.
You need to chill out.”
She lifted her chin defiantly and replied, “I’m easy to get along with. If we don’t t get along, it’s your fault.”
Ned was speechless.
He sighed and gave up.
Camilla noticed that everyone had already left. She turned to Henric and said, “Thank you.
As he looked at Camilla, Henric was going to speak, but her gentle voice interrupted him.
She twiddled her fingers and said, “Actually, didn’t really want to thank you. I was going to kick Freddy while he was down, but you got in my way.”
Henric was speechless
