A One Night Stand With My Boss (Camilla) novel Chapter 231

The next day, Camila arrived early at Cedarhill Estate. She sorted through the belongings she had left in the bedroom and packed them all into shopping bags.

As she stepped out of the bedroom, she ran straight into Connor.

Camila nodded politely, “Mr. Connor, good morning.”

Connor noticed the shopping bags in her hand and paused slightly. “What’s this?”

“These are some things I left here before.” Camila opened the shopping bag and said calmly, “You’re welcome to check.”

Connor frowned slightly as he looked at her face. “I didn’t mean that. Why are you taking everything?”

“Why can’t I take my things?” Camila countered.

Connor became slightly flustered and quickly said, “You might need to work late here, stay over if it gets too late.”

“That won’t be necessary. I can take my work from SummitTrack Investments home.” Camila smiled slightly, “Of course, if Mr. Connor is uneasy, I can resign from SummitTrack Investments.”

“Do you really not want to be around me?” Connor grabbed her arm, his tone urgent.

Camila politely withdrew her arm. “Mr. Connor must be joking. As a female secretary staying overnight at her male boss’ house, rumors could hurt both your reputation and mine.”

Connor watched her, a subtle hint of loss in his eyes. “Did you see the news?” His voice was hoarse.

“I did.” Camila nodded with a smile.

Connor, anxious, continued, “Yesterday, Haylie attempted suicide. She called me, and I didn’t answer. You know, I was in your bedroom at the time.”

Camila smiled, “Mr. Connor, you don’t need to explain to me. Handling public relations isn’t part of my job.”

“I am just friends with Haylie.” Connor looked intently into Camila’s eyes, his tone firm.

“I saw the statement.” Camila looked at him. “Mr. Connor, I still have some things to pack.”
