Maria had been asking around for the past two days, but she had received no news. This was very discouraging.
She did not think it would be that hard to inquire about this, seeing that it was just gossip about someone's love life. However, after asking around, she still found nothing. She even asked the wives of some ministers, but they knew nothing of it.
Initially, she thought they were reluctant to tell her because of her relationship with Cameron, so she convinced them it was fine. After all, Cameron had been single for so many years. It was a good thing for him to be seeing another woman. People stuck to their script of not knowing even after saying that.
Some even asked her curiously about Cameron's new woman.
After two days, her voice was starting to get hoarse, yet she did not gain any helpful information. Fabian was losing his patience. His face turned gloomier with each passing day.
"What's the use of going to all these spa sessions and hanging out with your friends all day if you can't get such a trivial matter done?!" He cursed angrily.
"Trivial matter? If you think it's a trivial matter, then you do it! Do you know that people still come up to me and ask about when your brother-in-law is going to find a new woman and what his type is?
“They even tried to pitch themselves to me!" Maria snapped angrily after gulping down a big mouthful of water. "You know how Cameron works. He doesn't leave a trail behind him. Where did you hear about this? Does he really have a new woman?"
"Nonsense! How can it be fake? You women are all useless. All you do is gossip and make up stories. When it comes to the truth, none of you know anything."
"Since we're so useless, you can go ask around yourself! You can go back to whoever told you the news! How can that person tell you that Cameron has a mistress but not know who she is?!"
Fabian was at a loss for words after her retaliation. For a while, he couldn't find the words to say. Because of a slip up, Fabian learned of this. How could he approach that person and ask?
Everyone knew that he was Cameron's brother-in-law. If Cameron found a new woman, Fabian would just be his ex-brother-in-law. His status would drop, and no one would prioritize him as much anymore.
