With a silent groan, she thought she could finally escape the grubling training.
When work ended, the two took the elevator down to the lobby.
“Mr. Connor,” a soft voice called out.
Connor paused and turned to see a woman approaching with a smile.
Camila frowned slightly. Another one of Connor’s fling had caught up to him.
Camila stepped aside, quietly observing them.
“Mr. Connor finished for the day?” The woman stood with her hands behind her back, tilting her head as she spoke in a sweet and vibrant voice.
Some say forward women are at a disadvantage, but she believed no love comes without taking initiative.
Should she just wait at home for love to knock on her door? She couldn’t miss the chance with such a catch.
Blinking she spread her arms and smiled. “Where’s my lunchbox?”
Connor looked at her coldly, “Lost it”
“What? You owe me…” The woman boldly pouted.
Connor mised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Camila “Give her two hundred dollars.”
The woman froze, confused
“She threw it away, Connor said, glancing at the woman.
Camila’s eyes widened in shock. “Why should I pay? You made me throw it away. And how do you know I have two hundred dollars!” Camila inwardly cursed.
“Miss… The woman stared at Camila with a mix of reproach and disdain as if to say, why should a mere secretary be responsible for throwing away my things.
Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, Camila clenched her teeth, quickly opened her phone case, and pulled out a neatly folded two hundred dollars, handing it to the woman.
“Sorry about this.”
The woman frowned and did not take it.
Camila’s hand hung in mid–air looking towards Connor, who just walked away, leaving them with his back.
A barely perceptible smile played on Connor’s face as he walked towards his car. The driver had already opened the door for him, and he got in.
“Sorry, Miss.” Camila gritted her teeth and stuffed the money into the woman’s hand.
She then immediately jogged to the car, getting into the backseat. “You are the one who asked me to take care of that lunchbox, so why should I pay for it?” Camila fumed at Connor.
“It was you who threw it away. Connor said lazily, propping his face with his hand.
“Without your order, I wouldn’t throw away someone’s gift to you. Camila huffed and turned her face away.
“Fasten your seatbelt Connor chuckled.
Without looking, Camila fumbled a few times before fastening her seatbelt.
“Are you swearing at me? Connor asked.
“I wouldn’t dare.”

Camila opened her phone, staring at the transfer record on her message, her eyes instantly lit up
Oh my! Twenty thousand dollars!
Her lips began to curve upward, forming a beautiful smile, and her eyes twinkled with delight, as if hiding endless laughter. Soon, the smile spread from her lips, freely flowing across her face. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
She turned her head, her eyes brimming with mirth. Thank you. Mr. Connor.”
“Happy now?” Connor asked.
“Yes.” Camila nodded vigorously.
“Not mad at me anymore?” Connor snorted.
*Just a little rant earlier Camila chuckled, gesturing tiny with her fingers.
Connor watched her, a smile flashing in his eyes.
