Wrong Taxi Number (camren)

Chapter 31

"Missed what?"

"Your laugh. That godly laugh that makes my heart quicken." Camila answered causing Lauren to blush.

"I'm so happy for you, Lauren. I'm so so happy. I'm happy that you graduated college and is now successful. It makes me happy knowing you're happy. You are happy... right?"

"I am. Now seeing you again... I'm even happier." Lauren said, smiling widely.

Camila grinned back at Lauren then felt her phone buzz. Camila checked it and sighed.

"I have a lunch date as a third wheel with Normani and Dinah... unless you want to accompany me and join us?" Camila asked with a hopeful tone in her voice and Lauren pressed her lips into a thin line.

"How does Dinah feel about me?" Lauren asked slowly.

"She... she disliked you for most of the first year we didn't talk. Soon, it just kind of wore away. It'll just be awkward between you two but, just don't make it awkward." Camila said not knowing what else to say.

"Um... Stacy!" Lauren called out and Stacy's head poked through the doors after a few seconds.

"Yes, Ms. Jauregui?" Stacy asked, beaming.

"I'm taking an early lunch. Cancel my plans for the next hour," Lauren said and Stacy went wide-eyed.

"Uh, you have interns coming in. Also, an executive from Chanel is coming to discuss things." Stacy said quickly.

"Cancel them. Reschedule with the executive, tell him I'm out sick. Tell the interns to come in tomorrow. Also, Chris and Taylor will be here tomorrow to fill in for me. Direct the interns to them." Lauren said, knowing her siblings would surely get the job done. They were always very helpful.

"Okay, Ms. Jauregui! I'll get on it. Thank you, if you need anything, call me." Stacy said, grinning widely at Lauren before slipping out the door.

"You know your assistant has an attraction to you, right?" Camila said, raising an eyebrow.

"She does? I thought she was just happy all the time." Lauren shrugged causing Camila to chuckle.

"But, a meeting with one of the head people at Chanel? You don't have to come to lunch with us." Camila said in a sad tone.

"No! No, I want to. We can grab my coat and go." Lauren said, standing up. Camila eyed Lauren for a bit before standing up as well.

"Dinah's waiting for me outside. It took me some convincing for her to drive me here." Camila sheepishly admitted.

"Uh, I have my car just outside." Lauren cleared her throat.

"Yeah, that freaking corvette you were in?" Camila asked.

"Yeah, I'll just meet you guys there or something."

"Uh, no! I mean- we're about to pick up Normani. I could... ride with you so you're not bored and alone and don't get lost." Camila said and Lauren smiled.

"Okay," Lauren nodded her head.

"I'll just text Dinah to go pick up Mani." Camila said and Lauren nodded. After Camila sent the text, she watched Lauren lean down and grab her coat only for her necklace to fall out from under her shirt.
