A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131

“Wow, what’s this treasure?” Emily asked curiously as she pulled out an exquisitely wrapped box.

“It’s a homemade pumpkin pie,” Camila replied with a smile. “Thanksgiving is coming up, and I tried making it.”

“Wow, you can make pumpkin pie?” Emily exclaimed in surprise. “That’s really impressive!”

“Well, it’s my first attempt, so it might not be as perfect as the ones you buy at the store,” Camila said modestly.

“Nonsense!” Emily dismissed the thought.

“A homemade pie is healthier and cleaner. That’s what really matters. Those store–bought ones, with who knows how many additives, can’t compare to what you’ve made.”

“You’re in for a treat!” Emily nudged Connor’s arm with her elbow.

“Let’s order,” Connor said, somewhat resignedly.

At the dinner table, the two women chatted happily, and although Connor was focused on the emails on his phone, his attention never really left them.

“Ms. Emily, are you and Mr. Peter close? I saw the painting you gave me marked as ‘not for sale‘ in the exhibition catalog,” Camila said.

Emily paused for a moment, her smile turning mysterious. “Peter and I… yes, we’re quite close.”

Continuing with a smile, she said, “I told Peter you are a fan, and since it’s fate, he agreed to gift it to you. The painting didn’t cost anything, so don’t feel burdened.”

Camila nodded, “Thank you, Ms. Emily, and please extend my thanks to Mr. Peter as well.”

“You can thank him in person sometime,” Emily chuckled.

“In person?” Camila was surprised.
