Still Your Dog? No, I'm Gone novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38

“Camille, you should be at the Northborough project site right now.” I said as I glanced at her nonchalantly.

Then, Camille banged the table hard and looked at me coldly. “Max, you sure are cunning and crafty. You deliberately sent me away just so you could brainwash my dad and convince him to make you my husband, didn’t you?”

“What did you say?” I asked as I stared at her in surprise.

Camille snickered, her eyes brimming with disdain. “I’ll never marry a lapdog like you. You’re not even fit to lick my boot. All you’re good for is serving me and doing as I say. Do I make myself clear?”

Instead of getting mad, I laughed and asked, “Who told you that’s what I wanted?”

“You don’t have to know about it. I’m here to tell you that you can stop your wishful thinking and daydream about something else instead. I can’t even be bothered to grace a piece of trash like you with a glance, much less marry you!

“I’m firing you today. I’ll personally see that you’re kicked out of Layton Group for good!” Then, Camille picked up her phone and dialed the human resources department’s number.

Benson roared, “If I hadn’t come back earlier, I would never have known the kind of mess you made!”

Camille’s eyes immediately turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes. She said in a sobbing voice, “Dad, why are you making me marry Max? He’s just a lowly lapdog to our family. He isn’t worthy at all!”

Benson snarled with a grim expression. “Shut up. How could you say such a thing? Apologize to Max this instant!”

“Dad, you didn’t just tell me to apologize to a lapdog! That will never happen!” Then, Camille addressed me, “Max, do you think you’ll have your way because my dad has your back? Think again! Just wait and see!”

Then, she ran out the door and left.

“Camille, get back in here!” Benson shouted after her retreating figure, but she didn’t say anything at all. He couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh as he looked at his fussy, unreasonable daughter.

“I failed my duty as a father.”

I didn’t follow up on what he said. Instead, I responded, “Don’t worry, Mr. Layton. I will fulfill my duty until the last day of my contract.”

Benson looked at me with a mix of emotions and spoke hesitantly. “Max, I actually hope you
