Chapter 368 Cameron had been AWOL for two days, which was totally out of character for him, and he wasn't picking up Greta's calls either. This had her spiraling into worry. Unable to sit still, Greta marched over to Cameron's office, hoping to catch him on his way out. "Cameron," she called out, standing there all alone outside the building, tears threatening to spill over. She was the picture of a distressed and devoted wife.

Cameron finally looked up, seemingly lost in his thoughts. "Greta, I've got to go on a business trip for a few days." Her face fell, a mix of shock and reluctance. "Cameron, I want to go with you. I'm scared of being alone," she pleaded.
For once, Cameron didn't give in. "Greta, you know my job is just taking off. Working for the Rowland family means I can't just do as I please." Hearing his firm refusal, Greta had no choice but to relent. But as Cameron left, she spotted a pink stuffed toy strapped to his suitcase. Her heart sank with suspicion.
