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

Chapter 58

Camila looked knowingly, convinced that the woman must be Connor's girlfriend

After finishing her soup, Connor still hadn't returned home, prompting Camila to get up and bid farewell. "Mr. Connor must still be busy It's getting late. I won't wait any longer."

Til drive your home." The woman looked at Camila earnestly.

Thinking of her residence at Cedarhill Estate, Camila quickly waved her hand to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. "No worries, I live nearby"

Connor pushed open the front door, noticed that the lights were on, and heard voices, so he followed the sounds. Seeing the two people at the dining table, his face immediately showed surprise. "Mom." "Mom?" Camila's pupils shrank suddenly, incredulously staring at the woman beside her.

"Yeah." The woman beamed at Camila.

"No no no, sorry, I misspoke. I was just startled." Camila flustered, waving her hands. "You're so young, I thought you were Mr. Connor's girlfriend." "Girlfriend? Hahaha," the woman laughed heartily.

Connor helplessly took off his suit jacket. "Mom, why didn't you let me know you were coming? If I wasn't home, you'd have waited for nothing." Emily smiled, "I wasn't waiting for nothing. Camila kept me company."

Camila offered a polite smile.

"Let me reintroduce myself, I'm Emily, Connor's mother." Emily smiled and extended her hand to Camila.

"Nice to meet you, ma'am." Camila gently shook her hand.

Emily patted her son's shoulder, her smile laden with meaning.

"Alright, I'll leave you two," Emily said, taking the empty thermos from the table and glancing at her son, "Young man, come home if you

want more soup."

Connor frowned slightly.

"I'll walk you downstairs."

"Camila has something to discuss with you. Come home for dinner this weekend. Grandpa has been asking about you."

"Sure."

After Emily left, Camila stood still, still caught in the awkward interlude.

Connor loosened his tie, sat down, and beckoned Camila over with a finger. "You needed to see me?"

Camila pursed her lips, hesitating before she spoke. "About Steven..."

"You came over this late just for this small matter?"

"Small matter?"

Camila looked shocked. She had been nearly worried to death. Being unemployed was nothing important, but causing trouble for the company would be something she could never settle in her heart.

"It's all sorted, Steven's shares have been transferred to me, I've been wanting to reclaim those shares for a while. In this, you played a part. I know what kind of person Steven is, and today was the perfect opportunity."

Camila blinked. "Opportunity?"

So, he knew what Steven was like, and his quick appearance to save her had a reason.

Suddenly, her heart was a mix of feelings. Upon learning the truth, the initial touch vanished, replaced by a deep sense of desolation, her gaze becoming vacant.

"Yeah."

"Congratulations Mr. Connor on successfully reclaiming the shares. It's late, I won't disturb you any longer."

"I'll drive you home."

"No need." Camila refused, coldly stating, "It's not far."

Connor insisted, abruptly taking her arm and leading her toward the elevator.

"Fine, you're the boss." She thought to herself. Camila pulled away from his grip, standing in the comer of the elevator.

The ride was silent.

At her front door, Camila turned after unlocking it and said coldly, "Mr. Connor, thanks for the ride. It's late, I won't keep you" Connor stared at her. Not waiting for her to close the door, he squeezed inside.
