A One Night Stand With My Boss

On the balcony, Camila sat in a comfy chair, her eyes glued to her smartphone screen, a slight smile playing at the corners of her mouth as she immersed herself in her little world. Curiosity piqued, Erica sauntered over and, seizing the moment when Camila was distracted, snatched the phone from Camila's hands. "What's got you so happy?" Erica teased. "Give it back!" Camila exclaimed, watching helplessly as her phone slipped from her grasp.

With her back to Camila, Erica swiftly scrolled through the messages on the phone. When she spotted Connor's name, a sly grin spread across her face. "Oh, it's because of a certain someone's message, huh?" Erica drawled dramatically.

"Keep it down!" Camila hissed through clenched teeth.

Their playful noise caught Claire's attention in the living room, making her chuckle. She shook her head in mild exasperation and called out to them, "How are you two still acting like kids? You're both in your twenties, time to settle down a bit."

"It's your fault." Camila managed to retrieve her phone, shooting Erica a glance.

Erica clicked her tongue in surprise, "You actually confessed your feelings?"

Camila furrowed her brow, holding the phone up to Erica, her tone resolute, "Look carefully, I didn't."
