Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 254

“Nathan, are you interested in a partnership with our family?”

Nathan's phone buzzed, interrupting the conversation. He gave Regan an apologetic nod and stepped aside to take the call.

“Hello?”

“Nathan, it’s me.”

Nathan furrowed his brow, “Cameron? What's up?”

Cameron cut straight to the chase, “Nathan, business is all about who gets there first. You’ve swiped my partner right from under my nose. Isn’t that a bit sneaky?”

Nathan let out a light laugh. “Cameron, you can’t pin that on me. You’ve been causing enough trouble that even fate had to step in. Regan landing in my lap was just a twist of fate. If the universe is against you, I'm just going along with it.”

“Nathan, don’t get too smug. Haven’t you noticed your right-hand woman is missing?”

Nathan’s eyes turned icy, but his tone was carefree, “Oh, you mean Nathalie? She’s a bit of a klutz. Hardly what I’d call indispensable.”

The memory of her turning his romantic date into a business pitch still irked him.

Cameron was taken aback. Despite Nathan’s dismissive words, he sensed a softness when Nathan spoke her name.

Cameron pressed on, “Nathan, you’re not keen on losing her, are you?”

Nathan’s hand shook slightly. “Cameron, have you kidnapped her? What do you want?”

“Simple. I want you to back out of the deal with Regan.”

Nathan was a man of immense stature and wealth, but he was treasuring a woman Cameron wouldn’t have given a second glance.

Nathan paused before speaking slowly, “Cameron, you wouldn't know a pearl from a pebble.”

His words were layered with meaning.

They poked fun at Cameron for failing to see true worth and hinted at Cameron’s own love interest, Greta, being less than desirable.

“Nathan, I think you’re just young and naive. Clinging to a woman like she’s the last one on earth…”

Nathan’s voice cut through, strong and unwavering, “Cameron…”

His words came through, clear as day, “Time will show you. Letting go of Nathalie was the biggest mistake you ever made.”
