calling his name, “How did you know it was me?”
“I caught a whiff of your scent; it’s very distinctive,” he replied.
Callum smiled.
“Why did you come back? Did you forget something? Let me help you find it.”
Camryn blushed slightly at his words. Before they went out tonight, Mrs. Newman had prohibited her from taking her sunglasses. Without them, she felt exposed, and her expression revealed her discomfort.
“I—I think I’m a little lost. I was going to head out.”
“Mr. Callum, could you please show me the way out of here?”
Callum glanced towards the lobby. After a moment of thought, he took Camryn’s hand without saying a word.
Camryn instinctively recoiled at his touch, stepping back two paces. “Just show me the way out; I can walk on my own.”
“I’m worried you might bump into something if I let you go alone.”
He offered her a reassuring look. “Don’t worry; I’m not going to do anything to you.”
“I know, I know you’re not that kind of person. Still, please just tell me the way to the lobby. I’ll be careful on my way out. I promise I won’t bump into anything.”
Callum hesitated. He quickly removed his tie and handed one end to Camryn, instructing her, “Hold on to this and follow me.”
Camryn gripped the fabric tightly, feeling a sense of security wash over her, easing her anxiety.
“Thank you, Mr. Callum.”
“Let’s go.”
He thought they should get her a guide dog.
He wondered if suggesting it would offend her, especially since they were still getting to know each other.
With Callum leading the way, Camryn finally managed to exit the hotel.
The Newman couple
They had already left by this point, leaving a bodyguard behind to wait for Camryn.
“Ms. Newman,” the bodyguard greeted Camryn as soon as he spotted her. “Your parents have instructed me to take you home.”
He then turned to Callum and expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you for escorting Ms. Newman, Mr. Callum.”
“Not at all, it was no trouble,” Callum replied, feeling relieved that the Newmans had left a bodyguard to ensure Camryn’s safe return home. He helped Camryn into the car shortly thereafter.
Once the car drove away, Callum suddenly remembered that his sister-in-law had specifically instructed him to avoid drinking that night and had also asked him to ensure Camryn got home safely after the banquet.
After a moment’s consideration, he decided to retrieve his car. Since he had arrived at the venue earlier than the others, his car was conveniently parked just a short distance away in the front lot.
