A One Night Stand With My Boss

At three in the morning, Connor's computer pinged with a notification for a new email.

Rubbing his temples from fatigue, he clicked to open the message. His brow furrowed immediately upon seeing the contents.

It was a work document from Camila, detailed and professional, but there she was working at this hour!

He quickly replied to the email, simply writing, [Sleep.]

After sending the email, Connor sighed deeply. Had he assigned her too much work?

Camila was twisting her neck, when she was startled by Connor's email.

He hadn't gone to bed yet?

Connor rummaged through a pile of papers to find his phone and texted Camila.

Camila closed her laptop, and suddenly her phone buzzed twice. She opened it to find a message from Connor. [Don't rush the work. Get some sleep. Good night.] He seemed to often stay up late himself.

Camila responded. [Thanks for your concern, Mr. Connor. Good night.] She paused, then deleted the words "good night" before sending.

Just as she sent the message, Claire's call came through.

A call in the dead of night startled Camila, who immediately answered. "Mom, is everything alright?"

"Cami, haven't you slept yet?" Claire's tired voice came through the phone.

"No, not yet. What's happened?" Camila asked anxiously.
