What Life Robbed Me

Chapter 6

Emma, Luke, and of course Elizabeth.

The next morning I got up early and got dressed. I wanted to be ready for Cameron's meeting. I left the room and went downstairs to drink some coffee. I smiled at the maids and I sat down. The coffee was really good. It was probably because I haven't had it in a long time. I see Cameron's mom, Jennifer coming to the table. I put my coffee down. "Good morning" I say as I look at her. She sits down and grabs her coffee. "Morning." She says as she looks at her coffee. I felt really uncomfortable because I never had a conversation with her. Plus I felt like she didn't like me at all. I saw Alice coming to the table and I smiled at her. "Good morning Alice." I say as I look at her. She smiles at me and sits down next to Jennifer. "Good morning Elizabeth, how did you sleep?" She says grabbing her coffee. "I slept well, thank you" I say as I finally finish my coffee. "Have you seen Cameron?" I say looking at Alice. "He is probably working out. If you knew Cameron, you would know what he likes to do in the mornings." Jennifer  says as she gets up and grabs her cup of coffee. I look at her get up and leave. I look at Alice. "Ignore her, Elizabeth. She's Always in a bad mood. I think she needs time to realize that her son is married to you." Alice says.

I head outside and I look at the flowers. I remember how Christopher would take really good care of his garden. I wonder what he was doing, if he was going to come for me still. "Ready to head out?" Cameron says as he walks to me. I look at him and he looked really nice. He was wearing a nice suit. "Ya, I been ready since the morning. I didn't want you to be late." I say as I walk to the car. The car parks and the driver helps me get out. The building where Cameron worked was really tall. I walked inside with Cameron and we walked inside a conference room. There was 5 men inside and they all looked at me. I sat down next to Cameron and I smiled at them a bit. There was two seats left and I'm guessing we were waiting for them. They walked in, an attractive guy with brown hair and a nice blue suit, and a women with blond hair and blue eyes. She was really pretty. Her outfit was really nice. As the meeting ended, Luke walked towards us and give Cameron a bro hug. They were talking for a while and Cameron saw his boss. He looks at Luke and I and smile. "Excuse me guys" Cameron says as he turns around to talk to his boss. I look at Cameron leave and I look at Luke. "I'm Luke, it's nice to finally meet you" he says as he shakes my hand. I smile at him and shake his hand. "Elizabeth." I say. "I was going to introduce myself at the wedding but, for some reason you guys left early." He says looking at me. "Oh ya, cameron wasn't feeling good. So we left early." I say remembering what happen that day. "Oh really? Or was it because his wife went to meet up with another guy?" He says smiling at me. It was him. He was the one that recorded us at the beach. "It was you, wasn't it?" I shake my head. "Everything okay?" Cameron says as he grabs my waist. Luke smiles at me and then at Cameron. "Everything is good, we should hang soon" he says as he turns around and leaves. Cameron looks at me and smiles. "So what did you think about the meeting? Pretty boring huh?" He says. I look at him and smile a bit still thinking about the day at the beach "oh ya, it was interesting." I say. "Can we head back now?" I say as I grab my purse. "Actually I have to stay here, but the driver will take you back home." He says as he walks me out the conference room. "Oh, alright, well I'll be home." I say as I see Emma waking towards us. "Hello Cameron." She kisses his cheek and hugs him. "I'm so happy to see you. You look great, I'm sorry I missed your wedding." She says ignoring me. "This is my wife, Elizabeth. Elizabeth this is Emma, my friend." He says. I smile at her and I put my hand out to shake hers. "Hey Em-" I say as she interrupts me. "Hello Elizabeth" she says as she gives me a fake smile and looks at the Cameron again. "Cameron how's your mother? I think I'll come see her soon, I miss her." She says as she tries to hold Cameron's hand. Cameron moves his hands and looks at me. "I think I'm going to go, I have things to do at home." I say as I smile a bit at both at them. "Are you sure?" Cameron says. I nod and head the opposite direction. I walk around and see many offices. I finally find my way out and I put my sun glasses on. I walk behind a group of people so the driver wouldn't see me. I walk another direction and try to find a public phone, since Cameron took mine. I finally find one, I open my purse and take out three quarters. I dial the number and wait for Christopher to answer. "Come on Christopher." It sends me straight to voicemail. I put the phone back and I walk back to the car.
