Chapter 653
Justin unabashedly came up and acted friendly with Camilla.
Dumbstruck at first, Camilla sized up the handsome man.
âYouâre Mr. Justin Salvador, president of Salvador Corporation.â
âDonât be a stranger, Camilla. Just call me Justin.â Justin extended his right hand courteously, his foxy eyes glistening.
He looked like an honest and reliable person.
Justin did not seem to resemble the decisive and manipulative man in the rumors.
Bound by etiquette, Camilla reached out to shake his hand, but Bella held her arm back and shot an angry look at the man. âDonât try to be friendly with my sister. You can forget about leaving a good impression, Justin. I can see through your intentions.â
Justin let out a wry smile and recoiled his arm, embarrassed.
âBella, whatâs going on between you and Mr. Salvador?â Camilla was confused by Bellaâs offhanded attitude toward the man.
She had no idea that Bella had been married to the man for three years.
Put on the spot, Bella pressed her lips together. âCamilla, he and Iââ
âIâm Bellaâs man.â
Bella and Camilla were shocked.
âItâs one-sided, but I want to make it known that I am Ms. Bella Thompsonâs admirer.â
Justin stared intently at her with lingering affection. âI may not be the only man for her, but sheâs the only one for me.â
Fuck! He was putting himself out there.
Camilla gasped sharply.
Bella clenched her teeth, her face blushing. His words threw her off.
The man was unscrupulous.
He had no shame.
The nerve of him!
Tsk!
âSo, can I take it that youâre pursuing Bella, Mr. Salvador?â Camilla probed.
The manâs eyes burned with determination. âYes, I am pursuing her.â
He was wooing her aggressively.
âIgnore him, Camilla. Heâs whacked. Come on. Letâs go to Dad and Aunt Mila.â
Bella dragged Camilla along.
Justin stood there and gazed at Bellaâs receding figure with an idiotic smile.
He was hopelessly in love with her.
âAre you back on your own, Camilla? Why arenât you with your husband?â Bella took Camillaâs hand and asked with concern.
âHeâs too busy with work and the next few days are critical. The election results are going to be out soon,â Camilla said firmly, her eyes gleaming.
âCamilla, Iâm sure all will turn out well. He cares about his people, and you have been actively involved in charity. That puts the poll in his favor. He will be the next President of Solstada.â
âI hope so, Bella.â
Camilla looked back and murmured, âWhat is going on between you and Mr. Salvador, Bella?â
âHmmph! We are sworn enemies.â
Bella narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth. âJust ignore him. He annoys me to no end with his nonsense. Heâs unhinged.â
âNo way, Bella. As far as Iâm concerned, Mr. Salvador is a noble person and the heir of Salvador Corporation.â
Camilla wanted to scream, harking back to when the man had broken her heart.
âAn eligible bachelor? More like a sleazeball.â
