The Broken Pieces novel Chapter 19

"Maybe he's taking some air-," Colton tried to say but Cameron quickly cut him off.

"Why the fuck are you defending my dumbshit brother, I thought he hated him."

"I-I don't know what I think Cameron. Last time I checked, everything was happy and Parker was the bad guy. Now I'm not so sure..." Colton's voice drawls out, pensively.

Cameron let's out a small and frustrated groan. "Ugh, I can't deal with this."

"I know," Colton agrees before saying, "do you think he would leave just after getting Emmie to himself."

Cameron let out a mirthless laugh, "God, my brother's so fucked up, I thought I would know him more," she sighs, "I just hope this isn't part of one of his calculated plans."

There's a pause of silence.

"Fuck," Colton curses, "let us pray not."

"Emily? Emily?" Cameron's voice calls out to me and I jump.

"Y-yeah?"

"I asked you a question." She looks towards me for a second before furrowing her eyebrows.

"Oh sorry," I shake my head and let out a fake laugh, "got caught in my thoughts."

"I can tell," she nods as we reach the front doors.

Cameron grabs into the door handle and is about to open the door when my name is called out.

"EMILY ROSE? EMILY ROSE SHIVERS?"

I draw away from the doors and walk towards the sound.

"Yes? I'm Emily Shivers." I answer the person's voice and man turns around and walks towards me.

Wearing a white, nice and clean t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans walks a man with the most gorgeous grey eyes I've ever seen.

The man stops in-front of me. His light brown hair is swept up nicely and stays out of his face.

"Emily Rose, I presume?" He asks, his voice accented.

I bet, he's English.

"Yes, I'm am and you are?" I ask him looking hunk up and down.

"Oh, sorry," he lets out a small laugh before continuing. "Hello, my name is Jayson Arnold and I run the newly formed Aroman's International Car Insurance or AICI." Jayson says, his smile grows.

"Okay... nice to meet you. What did you want to talk to me about?" I ask him.

"So, I already talked to his parents about this but they directed me towards you," Jayson pauses before continuing, "Ms. Shivers, are you aware that your fiancé signed onto AICI a couple days before his accident?"

My mind blanks.

"Uh... I'm sorry, say that again?" My voice shakes and Jayson repeats but this time his voice is the last thing on my mind.

I'm pretty sure, Tomas would have told me that he switched his car insurance. At least, I think he would?

"What company?" I ask. My curiosity getting the best of me.

"Aroman's International Car Insurance," Parker answers.

I stare at Parker for a while.

Okay, maybe this isn't such a coincidence...

"You can go home now you know?" Camara said as she appeared in the doorway of my office. "I can close."

"Can't, gotta work on Harry and Wendy's wedding." I mutter as I stare at my computer screen.

Camara mutters something that I don't catch. Then suddenly, she walks behind my rolling chair and pulls me away from my desk.

"H-hey!"

"You need to get away from that damn computer." Camara said as she stopped dragging me around my office, leaving me in the middle of the room.

"Oh, come on-," I start to complain but Camara quickly interrupts me.

"Oh, hell no! Don't you go making some stupid ass excuse in order to work," Camara appears in front of me with her hands on her hips, "it's 6 o'clock, you need to go home. Sleep, eat, something!" She yells at me before gagging, "'cause fuck! You stink!"

My cheeks began to burn.

So... I haven't at home in a while.

I can't seem to do anything when I'm there, it brings back too many memories, but I'm not going to tell Camara that.
