Chapter 13
David heard the door close and glanced towards the bedroom, catching sight of Camila leaning against the door frame. “Camila, how come you’re out so soon?”
“Mr. Connor’s up.”
David looked puzzled. Normally, waking Mr. Connor was no easy task. Even Pay had trouble getting him out of bed. It seemed the new secretary had a way with him, and David’s fondness for Camila deepened.
A moment later, Connor, dressed neatly, came to sit at the dining table.
David unpacked the breakfast he brought, still steaming hot and fragrant, drawing a swallow from Camila,
“Have you had breakfast?” Connor asked, looking up at her, his tone even.
Camila hadn’t even had dinner the night before, let alone breakfast, because she was too tired when she got home.
“Yeah” Camila replied with an unchanging smile.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from her stomach. Her ears turned red in an instant, and she wished she could vanish into thin air from embarassment.
Connor stared at the source of the noise for two seconds, then calmly returned his gaze to his food. “Sit down and eat.”
“Camila, see if it suits your taste. Let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like, and 111 bring it tomorrow” David said, though his eyes lingered on Connor His silence was an agreement.
Thank you David. I’m not picky.” With that settled, Camila sat down and started on the nutritious porridge David served her.
David then added scrambled eggs and bacon to her plate.
“Thank you”
Camila eyed the chives on the scrambled eggs, internally conflicted. She didn’t eat chives.
