Chapter 104

The camera angle only captured a tall, broad-shouldered figure entering the room with effortless grace.

His commanding presence alone marked him as someone extraordinary, though his face remained out of frame.

At first, the team at Vertex Dynamics had speculated about Camille and Gabriel's relationship.

They only discovered later that Camille was already married with a nearly grown daughter.

Yet Camille rarely spoke about her personal life. Her husband remained an enigma to the team.

Given Camille's striking beauty and her rapidly proven competence—surpassing even Gabriel's—everyone burned with curiosity.

What kind of man could possibly deserve such a breathtaking, brilliant woman?

Now, Damien Harrington had finally appeared—only for Camille to immediately swivel the camera away.

Everett and the others were about to tease her when Damien's deep baritone cut through, "Still working?"

Camille glanced up. "Mm."

Damien simply nodded, retrieving clothes before disappearing into the bathroom.

Camille's attention snapped back to the meeting, though two female colleagues couldn't resist whispering, "Your husband has an incredible voice."

Damien wasn't just handsome—his voice was like velvet, rich and impossibly smooth.

Flustered by their admiration, Camille merely said, "Thank you..."

By now, the hour had grown late. Though the team remained energized, overworking served no one.

Gabriel decided to wrap up remaining tasks, deferring the rest for tomorrow.

Still, finalizing everything took considerable time.

When Damien emerged from the shower, damp hair curling at his nape, the meeting continued.

Noticing Camille's focus, he remained silent.

Then Chloe burst in. "Mom—!"

Camille turned toward the door, but Damien intervened first. "Mom's working."

Chloe immediately quieted, padding over to whisper in Damien's ear, "Dad, can I sleep with Selene tonight?"

A nod. "Alright."

Chloe threw her arms around his neck, forgetting to whisper in her excitement. "Thanks, Dad!"

Fortunately, Camille had just finished.

She ended the call, only to freeze at the sight of Selene lingering in the doorway.

Her lips pressed into a thin line.

Damien and Chloe noticed Selene too.

Without a word, Damien rose and left with Selene.

Chloe hesitated, glancing between them and Camille's tense expression.

"Mom..." she ventured softly.

Camille busied herself organizing documents. "Did you shower?"

"Yes."

"Sleepy?"

"Mm... very."

"Then go to bed."

Chloe exhaled in relief. "Okay! You should rest too."

"I will. Goodnight."

After a quick hug, Chloe skipped out.

Alone, Camille gathered her nightclothes, noticing neither Damien nor Chloe had closed the door.
