"Why did you have to punch Cedric?" Camilla asked angrily as she moved further away from Guan Ming.
"Camilla." Guan Ming called to her in a sweet tone.
"No Ming, you can't sweet talk your way out of this." She said as she swatted his hand away. "I'm not the same Camilla you met years ago."
"Yeah, apparently you're Camilla Lim." Guan Ming said as he shook his head in disbelief. "Who knew your relative was right next to you this whole time?" He said with a laugh.
"Unlike you, Ian has stood by me all these years." She said as she glared at him from the other end of the car.
"I see we have some unsettled issues." Guan Ming said with a grin as he suddenly grabbed Camilla by the waist and placed her on his lap.
"Ming!" Camilla shouted in annoyance. "If you don't put me down I will ask John to stop the car."
"Camilla, with all due respect, I think you have no issues being on his lap." John said with a laugh as he ignored Camilla's protests.
"You know her well?" Guan Ming asked John.
"Of course he does. He's been working for the Reyes Family longer than I have." Camilla grumbled.
"While Mr. Reyes was in his poverty training, I drove her and Ian around." John grinned as he glanced at the couple through the rear view mirror.
"Don't you fucking dare, John." Camilla threatened.
"We both know you can't hurt me Camilla." John said as he laughed at her predicament.
"Do tell me John, has my darling Camilla ever mentioned me?" Guan Ming said as he smiled mischievously at John.
"Well Ming, I can call you Ming right?" John asked, knowing that Guan Ming would agree to anything at this point.
"Of course, Camilla's friends are my friends." Guan Ming said with a nod.
"Well, Ming, Camilla here would talk about you and only you whenever she would get drunk." John said as he laughed at Camilla's expression.
"I do not talk about him." She insisted.
"You can ask Ian, he was the one that was most amused." John pointed out.
"He never told me." Camilla said it seemed that she had no idea that in her drunken state she would talk about Guan Ming.
"I hope you haven't gotten drunk around Lucius Ting." Guan Ming said as he looked at Camilla with a serious expression.
"No, never." Camilla told him as she shook her head. "I would never get drunk around him, I'm afraid of what he would do if I ended up incapacitared." She said with a frown.
"One time she even assaulted Ian thinking he was you." John said with a laugh as he continued to drive them back to the hotel.
"What?!" Guan Ming looked at Camilla as if she had committed a horrible crime "Please don't tell me you didn't do anything sexual. Aside from the fact that he is your cousin, you are mine, and only mine." He said possessively.
"Shut up." Camilla hissed as she tried to wiggle herself out of his lap. "I never did anything with Ian, stop being obsessed with Ian. He would never touch me, he would never let anything happen to me. He would protect me from everyone, even you."
"Camilla! Stop!" Guan Ming shouted as he held her still on his lap.
"No, stop, don't you feel something?" Guan Ming asked as he nudged himself against her.
"Ugh, gross, not something I wanted to know." John complained.
"Oh please, you drive Cedric and Adrianna around. We all know that they have sex in the backseat sometimes." Camilla pointed out as she stopped moving on Guan Ming's lap.
"Cedric's cars all have dividers." John grumbled. "I know they are doing things, but I don't have to hear or see it."
"We aren't doing anything!" Camilla said in an angry tone.
"You are turning Ming on, that's just way too disturbing for me." John complained, making Guan Ming laugh.
"Oh look, the hotel." Guan Ming said as he pointed out the popular facade of Constellations Resort. "I just realized, it looks like the facade of Mountain View."
"It was designed by the same person." Camilla said as he let herself lean on to Guan Ming's chest.
She felt one arm wrap around her waist and his lips gently brush on her neck. She closed her eyes and savored the moment. Despite everything she wanted to be with Guan Ming, she loved him and only him.
Camilla knew that John was aware that something was going on in the backseat.
She felt as he sped up a little and drove them to the more private basement entrance, one that Cedric often used to avoid unwanted attention.
By the time the car stopped in front of the elevator and private lobby, Camilla was much more relaxed and much more comfortable in Guan Ming's lap.
"We're here." Guan Ming whispered to her ear.
"I know, I just want to savor this moment. I want to treasure the time I have with you." Camilla confessed.
"We have all night." Guan Ming told her as she felt his lips curl into a smile against her cheek.
"Thanks, John." Camilla told the driver who simply nodded in response.
She opened the door and quickly hopped out, rushing to the private lobby.
"No one is here." Guan Ming grumbled as he walked behind her.
"I just don't want to risk it." Camilla told him as she shook her head.
"Good evening, Miss Camilla." The receptionist at the private lobby said as she bowed at Camilla.
"Good evening." Camilla greeted back. "Ming, come on!" She called.
"Wow, even the receptionist knows you. Come here often with others?" Guan Ming asked with a smug grin on his face.
Camilla turned her heel and walked back to him.
Guan Ming was ready to pull him into her arms when she slapped in across the cheek and marched into the elevator.
Despite the stinging pain Guan Ming smiled, he loved that his woman was so aggressive.
