They didn’t know the company planned to promote me to general manager and give me 5% of the shares. If she’d stayed, Camilla would have lived a rich life. But now, she’d lost that chance.
I glanced at them and said coldly, “That scratch-off was given to me at the company party. All my coworkers can confirm it.”
Camilla grabbed her pocket and kicked me. “Are you insane over money? Ted, don’t you have any shame? Scratch-off tickets are anonymous. Whoever holds it owns it!”
Right then, someone burst in from outside. He grabbed Camilla in excitement. “Camilla, is it true? You really won $14 million?”
The person who ran in was my friend, Derek.
When I was chasing Camilla, he was the one giving me advice. I never imagined he’d be lifting her up right in front of me now.
And Camilla told him the moment she thought she’d won. It was clear they weren’t just friends.
Camilla stopped pretending. She hugged Derek’s neck and said sweetly, “It’s true, Derek. From now on, I’ll take care of you. I think you brought me luck! You kissed me today, so this money should also belong to you!”
