Chapter 385

Chapter 385 Meeting Cameron 461%A Finished “The Scott family is, without a doubt, the most powerful and influential in Albaros,” Boris remarked. “And Cameron? He’s their only heir–the one they’ve meticulously shaped into the perfect successor. He’s had the finest education, the strictest discipline, and an image so refined it’s almost unreal. I’ve known him for years, and I’ve never seen him lose his temper, let alone get caught in any scandals. No missteps, no gossip -he’s like a flawlessly programmed machine, almost too perfect. But honestly, getting to know him isn’t a bad thing for you. You never know–one day, he could turn out to be a valuable connection. Maybe even someone who could help you in ways you wouldn’t expect.”

Boris said it offhandedly, not thinking much of it.

At that moment, he had no idea just how prophetic his words would be.

That afternoon, Caroline arrived at the café thirty minutes ahead of schedule.

A five–star hotel lounge.

At this hour, it was nearly empty. A waiter approached her with a polite nod. “Ms. Brooks? You’re the one meeting Mr. Cameron.

Please have a seat–he’ll be with you shortly.”

“Thank you.”

Caroline settled into a window seat, flipping through her notes as she tried to steady her nerves. She had no idea what Cameron was going to ask.

With his wealth, influence, and status, why was he so adamant about meeting me–a formulator?

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t make sense of it.

Click, click, click...

A rhythmic set of footsteps approached, confident yet unhurried.

She glanced up just as a man in a tailored silver–gray suit and polished black leather shoes came into view.

He wore rimless gold glasses, his posture straight, his movements refined, and composed.

She stood immediately. “Mr. Cameron.”

Cameron looked even more distinguished in person than in his photos–polished, well–mannered, the very definition of a refined heir.

A stark contrast to David.

David was intense, dominating, and unpredictable.

How could two men from such similar backgrounds be so entirely different?

Cameron took the seat across from her, offering a smooth, polite smile. “It’s a pleasure, Caroline. I hope I didn’t inconvenience you with this last–minute meeting.”

“Not at all, Mr. Cameron,” she replied, keeping her tone professional. “It’s my responsibility to assist you and answer any questions you may have. I hope this meeting will give you a deeper understanding of our Caroz brand. Mr. Cameron, I...”

1/2 05:18 Wed, 5 Chapter 385 Meeting Cameron She hesitated for a moment. He had called her by name.

Had he already done his research on me?

Finished Before she could dwell on it, Cameron spoke again. “I already know who you are. In fact, I came here specifically to meet you.”

Behind the lenses of his glasses, his eyes held something unreadable.

Since the moment he arrived, Caroline had felt his gaze on her–subtle but distinct, as if he were carefully observing her every move.

Yet when she met his eyes directly....

Nothing.

It was as if he hadn’t been looking at her at all.

Weird. Maybe I imagined it.

Brushing aside the thought, she quickly shifted back into work mode.

“It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. Cameron. While I’m just a formulator, I’d be happy to answer any questions you have about Caroz.”

“Formulation is the foundation of a skincare brand,” Cameron said. “A truly effective product doesn’t need heavy marketing, fancy packaging, or flashy promotions. If it works, consumers will recognize its value. Their word–of–mouth and recommendations are far more powerful than any advertisement.”

Caroline’s eyes brightened slightly.

It wasn’t often she heard someone of his standing acknowledge that.

For the first time, she felt like her work was truly understood–and that recognition filled her with pride.
