“Can you see just a little?” Callum sat right next to Camryn. By right, Camryn would not be so precise as to snatch the sunglasses out of Callum’s hands since she could not see.
“You’re sitting next to me, so I can gauge the distance from your scent to retrieve my sunglasses. Well, I hope I can see a little, but too bad, I can see nothing.”
Her world was only a single shade of blackness.
“You look good without your sunglasses.”
Callum complimented her looks.
“Do you think my mom is trying to use my looks for something, Mr. Callum?”
“I think you already have an idea. It’s easy to carry a conversation with intelligent people. You get what I’m trying to say without me getting into it.”
Nana picked Camryn out of all the women to be his wife, so she clearly was not some bimbo.
Although upbringing and history did not matter to Nana when it came to selecting her future granddaughter-in-law, one of Nana’s criteria was a good IQ level. They needed wits to survive in this dog-eat-dog society.
“Don’t worry. I will also be attending tomorrow night’s event, and so will Zachary and his wife. My sister-in-law adores you and sees you as a friend. She won’t let anything happen to you. You can just go with your mom,” Callum said.
“No matter what, you’re the daughter of the Newman family. You should be active in social engagements and run in the circle.”
Camryn would have to socialize and rub shoulders with the upper crust when she married into the York family.
His sister-in-law, Serenity, had been attending various social gatherings with Mrs. Stone to work on her social skills for Zachary’s sake.
“I don’t want to be a part of that circle, nor do I see the need to. The daughter of the Newman family? Well, everybody knows what’s up. I don’t need anybody’s sympathy.”
Those people would only look at her with sympathy in their eyes.
Pity was the last thing Camryn needed. Her father was no more, and her mother could not care less about her. Yet, Camryn was doing well for herself.
