The sound of knocking startled Camila. She opened her eyes and pushed Connor away, a shy blush spreading across her cheeks.

Lowering her head, she quickly walked to the office door, took a deep breath, and opened it.

"Oh, Camila, you're here," Alan said.

Camila's heart was still racing. She kept her head down, too shy to look at Alan, and replied softly, "I've finished reporting my work," before hurriedly leaving the office.

Alan sneaked a glance at Connor and thought, Bad timing! He shouldn't have come now!

As Alan finished, he pulled out a couple of tissues and handed them to Connor, saying, "Mr. Connor, you might want to use these."

Connor slowly looked up, slightly furrowing his brows.

Alan cleared his throat and added, "You've got some lipstick... on you."

Connor paused, then took the tissues and wiped his mouth. Seeing the red stain on the tissue, he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
