A One Night Stand With My Boss

Chapter 108

Suddenly, Camila felt a presence almost looming over her. She had just picked up the car keys when she found Connor blocking her way, so she placed the keys on the desk. “Mr. Howard, here are your keys.” After saying this, she turned to fetch the documents Connor needed.

Howard glanced at Camila, then turned to Connor and suggested, “How about dinner tonight? Bring Camila along.”

“I have plans tonight, Connor declined.

I see. Howard sighed in disappointment, “Maybe next time.”

“Sult yourself. I must be going.” Connor turned and walked away, “Camila, come to my office.”

Howard watched Connor’s retreating figure, his expression unreadable.

Camila sensed some tension between Connor and Howard. Had their discussion yesterday not gone well? She nodded slightly to Howard and followed Connor into his office.

Connor sat in his chair, sent a quick text, and then started reviewing the financial reports Camila had brought him, remaining silent for a long while.

Camila tilted her head, staring at him, wondering why he had called her in, only to say nothing. The office was so quiet that only the sound of flipping papers could be heard.
