A One Night Stand With My Boss (Camilla) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144

“Such a flatterer,” Connor teased with a laugh, but the adoration in his eyes was undeniable.

Camila responded with a radiant smile that lit up the entire dessert café like a burst of sunshine.

Soon, she had finished her ice cream and glanced at Connor’s melting cup with a swallow. “Aren’t you going to have that?”

Connor shook his head with a smile.

“It would be a waste not to.” Camila said as she scooped his cup of ice cream towards herself.

“Eating all that ice cream?” Connor frowned slightly, his tone laced with concern.

“It’s fine once in a while, Camila chuckled, spooning another mouthful of ice cream.

Connor shook his head helplessly.

Back home, after days of insufficient sleep, Camila showered and fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed. But she had a restless night, waking up frequently.

In her drowsy state, she realized her period had started. She washed up in the middle of the night and went back to bed, only to be awoken by unbearable stomach pains. Taking a painkiller, she drifted back to sleep.

Merning came.

Sunlight crept through the slits in the curtains, casting quiet shadows in the living room.

Connor, having woken early and dressed in his joggers, checked the time–it was 7:15 AM, and Camila was nowhere to be seen. Pacing the room with a furrowed brow, he checked the time again.

Nearly 7:30 AM, and still no sign of her. With no other option, he tried calling her, but her phone was off.

Worried, Connor left.
