“I apologize. Please don't be angry." She spoke contritely, eager to make amends.

“Have you recognized your faults?" Isaac asked dispassionately.

Camila deliberated for a moment before answering, "Yes, I should have prioritized you instead of work. I should have accompanied you abroad."

“Anything else?" Isaac was upset about how she had treated him earlier but he was even more enraged to discover she had become inebriated and spent the night in Jaylen's room.

Did she intend to muddle through this?

There was no way he would allow that!

Initially, Camila had contemplated feigning ignorance and muddling through the situation.

Alas, Isaac's attitude precluded her from doing so.

She knew that she wouldn't be able to move past it unless she cleared the air.

Thus, she cleared her throat and commenced her explanation.

“Listen, this is what happened... Laura broke things off with Forrest because she found out he's been having an affair. She was heartbroken and asked me to have a drink with her. We ended up having too many drinks."

Isaac was more interested in one particular detail. "Why were you with Jaylen?" he inquired

Camila proceeded to elaborate. "Laura wanted to go out and drink but I didn't know any good places. Jaylen offered to take us to a great spot and so we went there."

She lowered her voice and added, "We went to one of his private rooms."

“And then what?" Isaac pressed.

“Well, Jaylen wasn't in the room with us. It was just the two of us drinking. You can check the surveillance footage if you don't believe “ Despite being inebriated the previous night, Camila recollected the events leading up to her intoxication with startling clarity.

Suddenly, Isaac's phone buzzed on the table, interrupting their conversation.

He retrieved the device and beheld a picture from Jaylen.

It was clearly a screenshot from the surveillance footage.

It depicted Jaylen holding Camila tightly in his arms.

It happened when Camila was about to go to the washroom and she stumbled. Jaylen prevented her fall by grabbing hold of her.

The screenshot however didn't paint this picture and made the scene seem a lot more intimate.

The image failed to convey that Jaylen‘s intentions were pure and that he was simply assisting Camila in maintaining her balance. ALL Isaac could see was an embrace between them, causing his countenance to darken.

Observing Isaac's reaction, Camila was bewildered.

She peered at the screen of his phone and in that moment, time seemed to stand still.
