David stared at Cameron’s young face, then glanced at the school uniform she was wearing. He just shook his head, his expression bitter.
“You don’t trust me?” Cameron raised an eyebrow.
“Look, kid,” David said, “I’m grateful you saved me. You’re right. I shouldn’t die. For my daughter’s sake, I need to stay alive, make good money, and fight for custody.” There was a new fire in his eyes.
“Is that all the thanks I get?” Cameron asked.
“No, I really am thankful. What do you want from me?”
“Work for me,” Cameron stated. She needed someone desperate, with no way out, but with strong moral character to help her start a pharmaceutical company. Someone who would be completely dedicated.
And as luck would have it, David was a doctor. He was already in the field. The timing couldn’t be more perfect.
David shook his head. “Kid, don’t mess with me.”
“I’m not joking,” Cameron said firmly. “Let’s talk.”
Cameron laid out her plans for starting a pharmaceutical company with complete seriousness. She wasn’t really just 18 years old. If counted properly, she was over a thousand years old. Starting companies was something she knew inside and
out.
Cameron talked with David for half an hour.
At first, David thought Cameron was just joking around. But as they talked more, his expression changed, and respect filled his eyes.
Suddenly, Cameron sneezed. The wind by the river was strong, and they were both soaking wet. If they didn’t get back to change clothes soon, they’d catch colds.
“So, Mr. Tucker,” Cameron asked finally, “what do you think? Want to join my company?”
David looked
eron with excitement. “How would that work?”
“You’d be the public face of the pharmaceutical company,” Cameron explained. “You’d handle all the official business. I’m still in high school, so I’ll pull the strings from behind the scenes.
“You contribute your expertise, and I’ll provide all the funding. I won’t shortchange you. We’ll split it seventy–thirty, with me taking seventy. What do you say?”
“You trust me that much?” David stared at Cameron in disbelief.
Cameron shrugged. “Let
call it fate.”
“Alright then. Since you’re putting so much faith in me, I won’t let you down,” David said, his voice unexpectedly catching in his throat.
He just lost everything, and

Cameron nodded with satisfaction.
“By the way,” David asked, “what should I call you?”
“I’m Cameron Wallace. You can call me Cam.”
David stood up and gave Cameron a formal bow. “Mr. Wallace, it’s an honor to work with you.”
“Let’s exchange number,” Cameron said. “You focus on your job for now, and I’ll be in touch later.”
Now that she’d found a staff, the next step was making money. Cameron needed capital to start a company.
The hundred thousand or so she had on hand wouldn’t cut it. The minimum registered capital requirement was two million dollars.
Cameron could technically take out a mortgage on the Noble Vista, but that would make her feel like she owed Bradley even more. It wasn’t a good idea.
Thankfully, Cameron’s phone still worked perfectly despite its dip in the water. She saved David’s number, gave him a quick wave, and disappeared before he could say another went

But he knew better. This was real. And he was going to get his daughter back.

Thanks to her good physical condition, Cameron woke up the next morning feeling completely refreshed. At eight dclock, the doorbell rang
