    Chapter 247 Tension In The Air


    Bradley smiled. "The firm''s picked up a few big casestely, so I''ve been helping out. But hey, I''ve still got time for lunch."


    Cameron nodded. So, they had a deal.


    They drove out of Academy Avenue and cruised smoothly back to Noble Vista.


    Cameron hadn''t even unbuckled her seatbelt when her phone rang. It was Xander. "Hey."


    "You little brat." Xander barked. “Where are you? Get over to my ce and tutor me right now."


    "Right now?" Cameron asked, a little thrown off.


    Honestly, she had nothing else going on, and it wouldn''t hurt to go. But seriously, could he have asked anyter?


    Xander insisted. "Yeah, right now. Get over here quickly."


    "Cameron''s with me. He''s busy," Bradley chimed in.


    Xander was so loud that even Bradley, who was in the driver''s seat, could hear every word he said. That bossy tone Xander had rubbed Bradley the wrong way.


    Cameron wasn''t the Murphy family''s servant, but Xander''s ssmates. That meant they were equals.


    "Brad?" Xander asked coldly. "What, Cameron can''t speak for himself? You gotta answer for him now?"


    He had gunned the engine all the way home, his irritation boiling over. Halfway there, he just dumped Tyrell at the side of the road. The more he thought about it, the madder he got.


    She was always busy whenever he tried to get a hold of Cameron. But she somehow had time to hang out with Bradley.


    Xander thought, ''What''s that supposed to mean? He''s doing this on purpose, isn''t he?''


    Looking seriously annoyed, Xander didn''t even let Bradley get a word in before saying, " Brad, Cameron already took my money for tutoring. I want him toe over now, so he has toe."


    Bradley asked tly, "How much is it?"


    Xander choked, "It''s not about the money. He took the cash, so he''s gotta do the job. That''s the rule, get it?"


    Bradley replied, "If he took the money but didn''t do the job, he could just give the money back and call it even. That''s the rule too."

    Xander shouted, "I don''t want the money! I want him to tutor me! Brat, are you deaf? Speak! Get over now."


    All he got was a busy tone.


    Cameron looked at her phone in Bradley''s hand, confused. "Brad, you don''t want me to tutor Xander?"


    Bradley handed the phone back to her. "His attitude''s the problem."


    Cameron shrugged. "That''s just how he is."


    Bradley looked at her. "Cameron, you''re not struggling for money anymore, are you?"


    Cameron grinned. "How could I not be? I still owe you 15 million dors."


    Bradley said, "If you don''t want to pay me back, you don''t have to."


    Cameron was stunned.


    Bradley cleared his throat. "What I mean is, there''s no rush to pay me back. The SAT ising up soon. You should focus more on your studies."


    Cameron said confidently, "I''m not worried about the exam at all."


    "You''ve had a whole week of sses. Wouldn''t it be nice to take a break?"


    Cameronughed. "I''m not tired. Tutoring isn''t exactly hard work, you know."


    The hidden meaning in her words was that she was determined to tutor Xander. After all, he''d already paid her in advance.


    Bradley looked a little exasperated. "So you''re really going to tutor Xander?"


    Cameron nodded. "Yeah."


    Bradley tightened his grip on the steering wheel as he let out a soft sigh. "Want me to drive you?"


    Cameron unbuckled her seatbelt. "It''s fine, I''ll just grab a cab."


    "I''ll take you." Bradley reached over and buckled her seatbelt again.


    He leaned in a little too close, catching a whiff of her sweet scent.


    Bradley froze for a second, then blurted out, "You smell really nice." Cameron was too stunned to speak.
