Soon enough, Aldrin took her to a luxurious restaurant.

“Why have you brought me here?" Camila asked, confused.

Suddenly, a deep male voice spoke from behind them. "I asked him to bring you here."

Camila turned to face the speaker, her heart racing with anticipation.

Her countenance immediately darkened as soon as she laid eyes on Jaylen.

She redirected her attention to Aldrin and inquired, "Is Jaylen the one who requested to see me?"

Aldrin couldn't fathom the reason behind Camila's ire so he hastily clarified, "Jaylen asked for a favor, and I deemed it a minor matter to bring you here, so I agreed. Plus, he offered to assist me in investigating my mother's murder case and I couldn't decline his help, hence..."

Jaylen quickly approached and expressed remorse. "I'm sorry. I know you're upset with me. I realize you don't want to see me so I requested Aldrin to ask you out and give me a chance to make amends, alright?"

At this point, Camila no longer deemed it worthwhile to engage in a dispute with him.

“I just hope you won't engage in such immature actions in the future. Furthermore, I'm no Longer angry. You needn't apologize. I have other matters to attend to and will be Leaving now." Camila proceeded towards the curb, intending to hail a cab.

Jaylen intercepted and clasped onto Camila's hand.

“Since you're already here, let's grab a bite together. The cuisine here is exceptional. You can't get anything like this elsewhere..."

“Release my hand." Camila spoke icily.

Camila abhorred it when he held her hand.

Jaylen let go of her hand and asked, "Why are you so frigid towards me? You were fine before, weren't you

Camila found him absurd.

“Hey, Jaylen, I just had a fight with Isaac because of you. Do I owe you a thank you? If you truly want to apologize, stay away from me," Camila replied in a detached tone.

Jaylen was at a loss for words.

“But aren't we friends?" he queried, appearing aggrieved.

“I don't want a friend who constantly causes problems for me,“ Camila stated firmly.

Jaylen was unsure how to respond.

He had only intended to give Isaac a hard time.

Did it have to escalate this much?

“I went to see Isaac today to try to explain things on your behalf. But when I heard what Willie said, I couldn't get a word in..

Camila interjected, "Hold on. You went to see Isaac?"
