A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin)

After hanging up the phone, Camila turned to her mom, Claire. "Mom, Connor's picking me up to go to Fernwood Valley. I'm just going to pack a few things."

Claire nodded with a warm smile. "Go enjoy yourself, sweetheart. Just be safe."

Camila hugged her tightly. "I will, don't worry."

Claire returned the hug, a rush of emotions washing over her. Camila had grown from a naive little girl into a confident, mature woman. Her boyfriend was a great guy, which filled Claire with immense pride and relief.

Camila headed home and quickly packed some casual clothes. On her way out, she swung by the pharmacy and grabbed a box of motion sickness pills.

At the edge of the village, Connor's car was already waiting. As soon as he saw her, he got out and walked over.

Taking her backpack, he gently put an arm around her and helped her into the passenger seat. His actions were smooth and natural, like they were a couple who had been together for years.

"Got your ID?" Connor asked with a hint of concern as he started the car.

Camila nodded, her excitement bubbling over. "All set."

As they drove away from the village, Camila glanced at the road and suddenly blurted out, "Are you sure we're going the right way?"

Connor just smiled and shook his head. "No boat this time."

Camila looked puzzled. "No boat? Then how are we getting to Fernwood Valley?"

Connor grinned, a twinkle in his eye. "You'll see."

A few moments later, he pulled over into a clearing. Camila looked around curiously and then gasped There, gleaming in the sunlight, was a helicopter, its white body looking like a majestic eagle ready to take flight.

"This...," Camila stammered, eyes wide in surprise.

Connor nodded, smiling. "Yep, this is our ride today."

Camila knew it took about fifteen minutes to fly from the downtown airport to Fernwood Valley, but they weren't at an airport!

Still in shock, she barely moved as Connor took her hand and led her to the helicopter. The pilot stepped out and opened the cabin door for them.

"Mr. Connor, please," he said, bowing slightly.

Camila was still dazed, her mind

racing with questions. By the pet

she snapped out of it, Connor had already buckled her in and was smiling at her. én.swnovels.net

He gently took Camila's hand. "Ready for takeoff?"

Camila nodded, gripping his hand tightly. In that moment, he was her anchor.

As the helicopter lifted off, Camila's heart raced. She watched the ground shrink away, her emotions a mix of awe and confusion.

As they climbed higher, her feelings began to settle. She turned to Connor, still in disbelief. "This is a private helicopter?" Connor nodded. "Family's."

A realization hit Camila. She had thought Connor was a self-made entrepreneur. But discovering that his father was Peter, she now understood Connor was a wealthy

heir. The luxury of the private net

helicopter far exceeded her

expectations, leaving her feeling uneasy and overwhelmed.

She turned to look out the window, the luxurious helicopter soaring against the backdrop of the blue sky and fluffy white clouds.
