A One Night Stand With My Boss

In the morning, Camila had already hurriedly asked Connor for a short leave, but the current situation forced her to extend her time off.

She needed to properly hand over her tasks at work to avoid causing any trouble for the company.

Immediately, she took a taxi to the office.

When she returned, Connor was still in a meeting. Camila didn't inform him of her arrival, choosing instead to coordinate with Alan first to hand over her ongoing projects.

In less than an hour, she had completed all her handovers. Just as she was packing her things to leave the office, the door to the meeting room swung open.

Connor hurried out.

Camila's heart sank at the sight of him, and her eyes instantly were filled with tears. She bit her lower lip, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill, her voice trembling slightly. "My mom... she's been moved to the ICU. I need to take an extended leave."

"I know. She'll be okay," Connor said, looking at the vulnerable girl in front of him.

He took her cold hands in his, saying with empathy, "Your mom will be fine. I'll drive you to the hospital."

Camila pursed her lips and nodded gently.

"I'll come see your mom too." Logan's voice chimed in, "I spoke with Erica this morning. She's already booked her flight back."

Camila sniffed and looked at him, managing a weak "Okay."
