A One Night Stand With My Boss (Camilla) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Camila quietly ate her meal, occasionally sneaking glances at Connor. His features were distinct, as if sculpted by a divine hand–handsome yet composed. He was absorbed in his computer, his long fingers constantly tapping. Indeed, a man focused on his work was truly charming.

She shook her head, chiding herself for her wandering thoughts.

Connor glanced over his laptop and noticed her enjoying her meal, his lips curling into a subtle smile. Soon, Camila had polished off her food and accidentally let out a satisfied burp.

“Finished?” Connor asked.

“Yes, sir. All clear!” Camila replied with a laugh. She pulled out a napkin to wipe her mouth clean and started tidying up the coffee table.

Connor opened his drawer, took out a box of cigarettes, and lit one. A thin trail of smoke lazily rose into the air.

Camila, catching the scent of the smoke, looked up. Their eyes met briefly before both quickly looked away, busying themselves with their tasks.

Frowning slightly, Camila held her breath and briskly wiped the coffee table with a napkin. When Connor noticed her discomfort, he extinguished his cigarette and turned on the air purifier.

Hearing the machine start up, Camila looked over and saw he had stopped smoking. She took a deep breath and picked up the empty lunchbox. “Mr. Connor, I’ve cleaned up. I’ll head out first.”

Connor hummed in acknowledgment, continuing to type on his keyboard.

Camila returned to her desk, revitalized after her meal, and resumed her data organization. Time passed until she stretched and looked out the window to see dusk approaching. She rubbed her tired eyes and glancing at her watch, realized it was already six–thirty.

Alan emerged from the CEO’s office. “Camila, Mr. Connor has a last–minute meeting with the factory at seven. You can leave now. The driver will take you home.”

“Am I not needed for the meeting minutes?” Camila asked.
