Chapter 163

As Brad’s assistant, Cameron not only had to arrange Brad’s schedule but also be adept at reading his
moods.
Besides, he also had to manage his personal life. This was especially crucial when working with a workaholic like Brad.
Lately, he had been scolded every day despite making no mistakes in his work. This indicated that Brad’s anger stemmed from personal issues, not work–related ones.
Jean, Brad’s precious treasure, was comfortably settled in the hospital. She simply had to wait for a successful match, and there was nothing much to worry about. As long as Brad visited her, everything should be fine.
Brad had also been visiting her regularly, so the problem didn’t seem to lie there. Except for work–related issues and Jean, Nadine was the only person who might trigger Brad’s anger.
After a quick analysis, Cameron concluded that the source of Brad’s anger had to be related to his wife. He swiftly replied to Nadine.
“Are you planning a surprise for Mr. Hamilton? If so, I can assure you that Mr. Hamilton will be in the
office all afternoon.”
Satisfied with his message, Cameron adjusted his glasses and felt a weight lift off his shoulders. He thought his boss must have had a tiff with his wife. That was why he had been so grumpy.
Once Nadine showed up with something nice, there was no way Brad could stay mad. Feeling triumphant, Cameron made a silent victory gesture and glanced toward Brad’s office.
Just then, Brad stepped out. He needed some data and was about to call Cameron to bring it for him. Yet, for some reason, he decided to see what his staff was up to.
Hence, he walked out of his office and silently surveyed the office. He then noticed Cameron grinning mischievously. The frown on his brows grew deeper.
His shiny leather shoes appeared beside Cameron’s desk, reflecting Cameron’s smiling face.
Cameron was caught off guard. His grin froze as he looked up to see his boss standing right there. He knew if he showed too much surprise now, it would definitely draw Brad’s and everyone’s attention.
If Brad decided to get mad again, it would only make things worse. So, Cameron smartly chose to keep quiet and pretended not to notice Brad standing right beside his desk.
He subtly glanced at the tailor–made black leather shoes near him and casually placed his phone aside.
It was in a position where Brad could easily see his conversation with Nadine.
Unaware of what was happening on Cameron’s end, Nadine saw his reassuring reply and sent back an okay” emoji. She had no idea that Brad had seen their entire conversation.

tugged at the corners of his mouth. He wondered if Nadine had finally realized her mistake.
Asking Cameron about his schedule meant she was planning to come to his office, possibly to make
amends.
In an instant, his mood lifted. If one looked closely, one might even notice a slight upward curve at the corner of his lips. He silently retreated to his office as if he had never left, making no disturbance at all.
Watching his boss‘ tall figure disappear into the office, Cameron mentally patted himself on the back. Only those with high emotional intelligence could handle such situations so smoothly.
After Brad returned to his office, a rare smile appeared on his usually stern face.
