As time passed, the competition heated up.

Logan and Connor's shrimp peeling became faster and faster, and their bowls filled up rapidly with the peeled shrimp.

With the last shrimp skillfully peeled by Connor, the contest came to an end.

Connor grinned triumphantly, casting a provocative glance at Logan. "Looks like I'm the winner today."

Logan glanced at the heap of shrimp in Connor's bowl, and said with a touch of frustration in his voice, "I let you win, you know. Just to give you some points in front of Camila."

Connor placed his bowl full of shrimp in front of Camila, saying softly, "For you."

Camila took the bowl. Her lips curved into a slight smile as she looked at the tender shrimp. She looked up at Connor with a sweet smile. "Thank you."

Turning to Logan, a playful and teasing glint in her eyes, she joked, "Thanks for the treat, Mr. Logan. The seafood feast was really delicious today."

Logan, feeling slightly aggrieved, sighed, "Well, I'm glad that you all enjoy this."

Camila stood up, whispering to Connor, "I'm going to the restroom."
