3 o'clock finally came around so the Jauregui's could start loading up to head to the Hansen's base to have a meeting. This would be the first meeting Lauren would take lead in since it would be an excellent demonstration of what she's been training for. What made it even easier was that her best friend Dinah would also be taking lead on the Hansen's part and they both already knew how each other's mindsets work and how they like things done.

The Jauregui's would be escorted in an orderly fashion. It's tradition to have a whole group take lead in the line of cars while the leader, and also their significant other if they had one, would travel in a car in the back. It just makes everything seem more sophisticated and it creates a strong security arrangement in case anything goes south unexpectedly.

While sitting in the white Mercedes Benz, waiting for everyone who was assigned to join Lauren and Camila on this meeting, Lauren could tell something was bothering Camila.

"Princess? Are you alright?," Lauren asked.

Camila didn't respond as her eyes and mind were too occupied on looking out the window to watch bodies moving about frantically to get going.

"Princess." Lauren called out again.

Still no response.

"Camila." Lauren called out once more but with a more stern and aggravated tone in her voice.

Camila flinched slightly and looked at Lauren.

"Hmm?", Camila hummed in response.

Lauren crooked her eyebrow and said, "What is up with you? Why are you ignoring me?"

"I'm fine Lauren, just tired is all." Camila said as she turned her head once again to look out the window.

"Pfft please, you stay up till 5am practically every night. You're not fooling me with the 'I'm tired' bullshit. What's the matter with you? Did I do something wrong?," Lauren questioned Camila.

"Lauren I said I was fine ok? I just want to get through this meeting already and go lay down." Camila grunted, still keeping her eyes out the window.

Lauren rolled her eyes and sighed in frustration. This why she thinks that relationships can be a waste of time. If one person is trying to figure out what the hell is up with the other person and they don't cooperate, what's the damn point in even trying or putting in effort? It's a waste of time and energy. Lauren has much more important priorities to be focused on and if Camila was going to be like this then she shouldn't be going at all.

"Get out the car." Lauren commanded.

Camila furrowed her eyebrows and looked at the green eyes killer. "Excuse me?", she questioned.

"Oh now you wanna pay attention to me? I said get out the car." Lauren growled and reached over to open Camila's door.

"Again, excuse me? Why are you telling me to get out the car?" Camila pushed on.

"Because I said so. I don't have time to be worrying about your damn well being. You were just fine a few hours ago when we last spoke and now all of sudden you're in your damn feels? Hell no, I ain't putting up with that shit. Now again, get out the fucking car." Lauren said angrily and she unbuckled Camila's safety belt trying to push her out.

Camila, being her bratty and stubborn self, wasn't budging one bit. This made Lauren even angrier and she started to feel her blood pumping in her veins. In a quick swift she pulled out her pocket knife and put it near Camila's neck.

"Listen to me darling, you are going to do as I say. You want to act like this? Fine. Just know you're in for some serious consequences. You should know better to not fuck with me. I'm the alpha around here and if I need to put you in your place I will." Lauren gritted through her teeth as her eyes pierced bright with the devilish glow of green Camila has and always will be afraid of.
