A One Night Stand With My Boss

The salesperson eagerly introduced the cufflinks to her, explaining that they were crafted from platinum and sapphire, each pair meticulously hand-carved to be one-of-a-kind. The more Camila looked at them, the more she felt they were perfect for Connor. She bit her lip, making up her mind to buy them.

She carefully picked out a beautiful gift box and gently placed the cufflinks inside.

After paying, Camila felt a mix of satisfaction and a bit of financial guilt.

The shopping trip for gifts for her mother and Connor had set her back quite a bit, but it was worth it for the most important people in her life.

As the workday drew to a close, Camila knocked on Connor's office door.

"I need to go home for a bit."

Connor, hearing this, immediately looked worried. He quickly stood up and walked over to her.

"Home? Which home?"Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"To my mom's," Camila replied softly.

Connor's brows knitted together as he urgently asked, "Why? How long will you be gone? When will you be back?"

His barrage of questions was fueled by the fear that Camila might be trying to avoid him.

Seeing his anxious expression, Camila reassured him gently, "I should be back tonight."

Hearing that she would return that evening, Connor visibly relaxed.

"Then let me drive you," he offered.

Camila shook her head with a smile. "No need, you have a meeting tonight. Erica will pick me up."

After a moment's thought, Connor said, "Alright, then I'll come get you after my meeting."

Camila nodded slightly.

Seeing her nod, Connor breathed a sigh of relief. He knew she would come home that evening and had agreed to let him pick her up. This small assurance filled him with immense satisfaction.

When Erica arrived at the base of Camila's office building, she called Camila, who quickly gathered her things and met her downstairs.

As soon as Camila got into the car, Erica couldn't wait to ask, "Why didn't Mr. Connor come with you? Did you guys have a fight?" Her tone was teasing.

Camila laughed and shook her head, then recounted the recent events to Erica.

Erica was so shocked by the news that Connor was actually the grandson of the prominent billionaire Ray that she nearly lost control of the car. She turned the wheel and pulled over. "What! He's Ray's grandson, the major billionaire!" she exclaimed, too surprised to continue driving.

Camila just shook her head in resignation, "Yeah, who would have thought."

"My goodness, that's just unbelievable!" Erica was still in disbelief.

After calming down, she became more rational. "His parents really like you, but...the most important person in the Passos family..."

Camila chuckled lightly.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Erica felt a pang of sympathy.

Camila and her approach to relationships were different. Erica never thought about being with Logan long-term, even though his family was wealthy and influential; it didn't affect their romance

She tightly grasped Camila's hand. "Don't worry, you are the best. No matter what Ray thinks, what's most important is Connor's attitude. He loves you, that's undeniable. And he doesn't seem like someone who would let his family control him."

Camila nodded.

Suddenly, Erica burst into laughter.

"I just can't believe he tried to get you to move in by flooding the house, haha!"

Camila shook her head helplessly, complaining, "The most annoying part is, whenever I get mad, he resorts to self-punishment to ask for forgiveness!"

Erica's laughter continued, her eyes filled with both sympathy and understanding for Connor.

"He's never been in a relationship before, doesn't know how to make a girl happy, so he uses these silly methods."
