A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152

“I have my own business, and Passos Corporation was Grandpa’s.”

Annabelle chuckled lightly, “Do you really think that if your other two uncles had taken over Passos Corporation, your little company would still have a chance?”

Connor was silent for a moment. That was the truth.

Annabelle smiled and said, “What I want is to have a closer relationship with you. We can start as friends, get to know each other, and see if there’s a chance for something more intimate.”

Connor shook his head with a smile, “Sorry, I can’t give you what you want.”

Despite the tempting offer Annabelle had made, he had his own principles and boundaries; he wasn’t willing to sacrifice his emotions for the sake of benefits.

Upon hearing Connor’s response, Annabelle’s expression slightly soured, but she quickly regained her composure, maintaining her smile, “Connor, you really don’t know what’s good for you.”

Connor ignored Annabelle’s sarcasm, glanced at her and said, “Ms. Annabelle, it’s getting late. We should head back.”

Annabelle scoffed, “You’ll regret this.”

Connor didn’t reply, just offered a slight smile, “Let’s go. Mr. Jordan will be worried if we don’t return soon.”

Annabelle scoffed again but remained silent, although her eyes betrayed a hint of displeasure.

Connor walked ahead out of the garden. After hesitating for a moment, Annabelle followed.

The path back to the main house was eerily quiet, with only their footsteps echoing around them. They maintained a mutual distance, walking in silence, and soon arrived at the front door of

the main house.

Connor stopped, “Ms. Annabelle, I won’t accompany you inside.”
