A One Night Stand With My Boss (Camilla) novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71 

Connor was holding a cotton swab loaded with ointment for her. Camila, too lazy to head to the bathroom to look in the mirror, randomly dabbed it on her cheek.

“You’re making a mess even with just applying ointment,” Connor said with annoyance, taking the cotton swab from her hand and gently but attentively spreading it across her cheek.

Suddenly, Connor’s face loomed large before Camila, startling her so much that she held her breath, her dark eyes darting to the side. Probably because she held her breath too long, Camila coughed, breaking the intimate atmosphere.

“Alright, remember to apply the ointment in the morning. Here, I’ll give it to you. It’s getting late. I’ll take you home.”

“Okay.”

The next day, just as the sun was starting to rise, Camila sat on her bed, sighing quietly. She couldn’t even enjoy a lazy weekend moming.

Only overtime pay could comfort her spirit.

Arriving at Cedarhill Estate, Connor emerged from the bedroom, bleary–eyed and yawning. “Morning.”

Camila couldn’t help but chuckle secretly. Early mornings seemed to torture him even more. Seeing him barely able to keep his eyes open lifted her spirits immensely.

This exercise phase would probably pass after a few days.

After pouring Connor a glass of warm water, Camila sat on the sofa scrolling through her phone, waiting for him to freshen up.

Suddenly, something cold pressed against her cheek. Camila jumped, nearly dropping her phone.

“Hold this,” Connor said.

Realizing it was an ice pack, Camila quickly grabbed it.

With a faint smile, Connor walked off to freshen up.

Both changed into their workout clothes and went downstairs to the tree–lined avenue to stretch.

Camila thought they would just jog casually, but they ended up running nonstop for fifteen minutes.

“I… I… I can’t keep up. You go ahead. I’ll rest a bit and catch up later.”

“Run slowly. Adjust your breathing,” Connor instructed.
