Chapter 185

When the door opened and she saw Connor, her breathing faltered for a few seconds.

He was sitting on the sofa and stood up when he saw her. His eyes fixed on her intently, sensing a faint sadness about her that made him slightly concerned.

He was about to ask about her well–being when Camila spoke first. “Good morning, Mr. Connor,” she said, bowing slightly, her professional smile in place.
