A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10

He stood there like a towering mountain, exuding an aura of invincibility.

Camila stood a few meters away from him. Her lips pressed tightly together, her heart pounding like it might leap out of her body. She steadied her breathing before speaking naturally, “Mr. Connor, did you want to see me?”

Connor tumed around, walked to his desk, extinguished his cigarette, and sat down in the executive chair, fixing his gaze on her with slightly narrowed eyes. “We’ve met before,” he said c o o l l y.

Camila, trying to suppress the panic rising inside her, forced a smile and feigned confusion. “Oh? I don’t think so. We move in different circles. It’s unlikely we would meet. I have a pretty common face, Mr. Connor You might have mistaken me for someone else”

She spoke confidently, her face betraying no sign of blush or heartbeat. She couldn’t admit it, no matter what.

The comers of Connor’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly. How could he possibly mistake the woman he had spent a night with?

It was fine if she didn’t acknowledge it. He didn’t want to get overly involved, either.

“Perhaps I was mistaken,” he said, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

Camila felt a wave of relief. She just had to insist they had never met.

Connor slowly began, “Tve reviewed your resume. Aside from working at Future haven’t stayed at any company for

a for a wear fou more than three months. Why is that?”

Camila laughed awkwardly. “The first two companies went bankrupt, and the last one had a boss who was arrested for tax evasion…”

She noticed Connor’s brows furrow slightly as if doubting her words, so she quickly added, “It’s true. You can check.

“So, you’re a bit of a jinx for companies?” Connor chuckled.
