“That must mean you know almost everything about him, right?" Camila asked, sounding as casual as ever.

He nodded as he enjoyed his food.

“Almost everything."

“How many girlfriends did he have?"

This sudden question put Willie on alert. He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth as if coming back to his senses and answered, "He has never dated a woman before.”

He might act Like it sometimes, but he wasn't stupid. She was obviously trying to get some information out of him.

Then again, he didn't lie to her.

“Honestly, you don't have to think too much. Mr. Johnston has never."

“How can you be so sure?" Camila interrupted, picking up a lettuce and throwing into her mouth as though they were talking about the weather. She chewed it slowly and then asked, “Why would he tell you who he has slept with?"

Willie almost choked on air.

Just like that, the food that was once delicious now seemed so tasteless.

“You are right that Mr. Johnston won't necessarily tell me about his life, but after working with him for so long, there are some things I am certain of. I promise you that he has never.."

“Relax, Willie!" Camila said, stopping him. "I'm only asking because I don't think I know much about him and I thought you could help me. After he risked his Life to save me, do you really think I will quarrel with him over something so trivial and of the past too? No, I just want to know more about him," she explained convincingly.

“Really?" Willie asked, the doubt obvious in his voice. "Yes, really," she replied simply and confidently

He nodded and thought about it. He didn't want to say something that was wrong.

He breathed a sigh of relief and spoke up. "I told the truth. For as long as I've known Mr. Johnston, he has been busy with work and had no time to spare for dating. Of course, many women wooed him, but he never gave them the time of day, nor did he flirt with any of them. Once, I even thought he was gay. Or that he had a sort of illness. But then, my theories proved to be wrong after he met you. That was when I saw the normal side of him--when he fell in love with you."

“Really? I see," Camila said, encouraging him as she filled his bowl with more food.

“I'LL be honest with you, Mrs. Johnston. The only woman he has never been able to forget, is the girl he saw when he was a child.

“What are you talking about?" Alick suddenly said, coming back from his call.

He looked at Willie sharply and added, “Eat and stop talking."

Willie rolled his eyes at him and retorted, "You stop talking."

Alick sat down and said with a smile to Camila, “Don't listen to Willie. Mr. Johnston has never been with any woman before you. We can both testify to that, right?"

He Looked pointedly at Willie, his eyes full of warning.

"Right!" Willie said with a nod that was just too eager.

“Why are you so nervous? I just wanted us to chat a little, but you're clearly not comfortable with the topic. We can stop talking about it."
