A One Night Stand With My Boss

Connor lay in bed, his heart filled with regret and confusion as he listened to Camila's footsteps fading away.

His gaze fell upon the messy sheets, still carrying traces of Camila's scent.

After a moment, he rose from the bed and walked over to the wardrobe. Opening it, he immediately spotted the tie and necklace from the night before.

He had intended to throw them away but had retrieved them from the trash can after his night of drinking.

Holding the tie and necklace, a mix of emotions flooded through him. He carefully folded the tie and placed it back in the wardrobe, sighing deeply.

He then grabbed some clothes and stepped into the bathroom, turning on the cold shower and letting the icy water wash over his weary face and body.

Camila closed the door of the lounge, trying to calm the turmoil inside her. She drank most of a bottle of mineral water, which helped her clear her head.

The office was filled with the smell of smoke and alcohol, making her feel uncomfortable, so she opened the window and turned on the ventilation system.

She glanced at the messy coffee table and knew the cleaning staff couldn't come in as long as he was there.

She disposed of the cigarette butts in the trash and set the empty bottles aside. His black matte lighter was on the coffee table, which she wiped clean and placed next to the cigarette box. After tidying up the coffee table, she went to make Connor a cup of coffee.
