A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114

Instinctively, Camila stepped in front of Connor, nervously guarding the painting he was holding. She was worried that someone might accidentally bump into him and damage the precious artwork.

They stood face to face. Their proximity was such that they could clearly feel each other’s breath and heartbeat.

Connor looked down at her. Feeling his gaze, Camila lifted her head and met his intense eyes. At that moment, it seemed as if the entire world had vanished, leaving only the two of them.

The air seemed to stand shill, the surrounding noises fading away. Camila felt her blood rushing to her heart, which was pounding wildly. She blinked frantically, overwhelmed by this unfamiliar sensation. She quickly lowered her head, unable to meet his gaze any

longer.

The elevator ride down felt unbearably long, each second stretching like half a century. Finally, they reached the ground floor. As the bustling crowd flowed out of the elevator, Camila held the door open until Connor stepped out, and she sighed in relief.

The drive home was unusually silent, filled only with the sound of soft music playing in the car. As usual, the driver dropped Camila off at Cedarhill Estate first.

“Mr. Connor, here we are,” Camila said, her head slightly bowed.

Connor handed her the painting without a word, merely giving her a brief glance.

“Thank you, Mr. Connor. Goodbye,” Camila said cautiously as she took it.

“Uh–huh,” Connor responded.

After closing the car door, the vehicle slowly disappeared from Camila’s view. She stood there, clutching the painting tightly, her mind in turmoil.
