For many years, Camila Cabello has grown up with the dream image of using her people skills to draw out some dollar bills, by walking around lavish homes in a cream blouse and pencil skirt, a fake smile plastered to her lips and extensive English vocabulary falling from her lips. And when she met Shawn Mendes, over eight months ago, she spoke to him about this image.

Now, eight months later, about four months into their relationship and three months of being a university graduate, Camila Cabello finds herself pooled in a meeting with a company from the US, looking to invest their money into good capital markets. Camila Cabello also finds that it is nearing seven and that, today of all days, was the day she has an extravagant date with her boyfriend who is finally back in town. Out of all days, is the day Camila had to send a message to him cancelling their plans.

sent 6:07, Camila: Hey starshine, I know we had a date today but i'm gonna have to cancel, i'm really sorry! I'll be home soon and i swear to god i'll make it up to you?? Eat dinner w out me, i'm gonna be here for a while Xx

Camila's eyes flicker over to her phone once more, fingers sneakily unlocking her phone to find no response to the message she sent half an hour ago. Sighing, Camila leans back in her chair, leaning back against her chair and tapping the pen she holds to her cheek. She taps away, listening to the clients speak with her supervisor. Her eyes glance at her phone once more, glaring at the little notification of Read 6:07. Camila holds back a sigh, scooping her hand through her hair and deciding Shawn is alright and she should focus on her work more.

Hence, Camila straightens her back, places her hands folded on the desk and shifts her eyes to her supervisor, listening to her advise their clients about, "Invest in a hedge fund," and she begins listing potential options, tucking her hair behind her ear. Her eyes briefly concentrate on the gold material of her pen, with the name, 'mila' engraved on it because it's a name Shawn uses sometimes when he claims he is 'tired' to say Camila Cabello. He gifted her this pen before she started her job and she prays to the stars that it has available refills. Smiling just a little, Camila clears her throat, crossing her legs over each other, in the white Surrey dress she wears. Finally, she makes her own pitches, presents her own analysis and when they get down to the finalization of the option, Camila finds that forty minutes later, she is allowed to leave the office.

Camila does not mind leaving work late. Especially given the fact that she has freshly started her career and just landed her job, Camila knows that if she is going to want to make it somewhere, she will have to work over-time. And she knows Shawn knows this too, so it really should not be a concern to her when he leaves her on read.

But it's Shawn and he always replies. He will reply with an emoji that is misused, nevertheless, he replies. Camila knows that something in her stomach is starting to churn, she feels the way her heart misses a beat. A deep shudder crasher through her, just as her foot finds stability on the floor of the elevator she has stepped into. Her fingers clasp over each other, trying to feel the heat in them, to find a pulse, anything calm that will not make her overthink about the simple Read he has left her on.

Another one of her flaws materializes before her, as her stubbornness to not coil into the want of calling him strangles her. It strangles her mind with a heavy grasp, entrapping her in a limbo of disregard and worry. Camila would have no care had sunshine not been able to fill her heart with sunlight every time he becomes her view, had her heart not dissolved into her blood every time he touched her, had she not have fallen in love with the person who is her forever.
