A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 154

Craig handed John a piece of pie, smiling, "Hey John, why don't you give this a try?”

“Don't mind if I do.” John grinned as he took the pie, and after tasting it, he couldn't stop praising it to Camila, “This is really delicious, thanks for the treat.”

Craig could tell that John was quite fond of Camila and quickly chimed in, “We've been talking for ages. How come you haven't exchanged numbers yet?”

Then, Craig nudged John's arm gently with his elbow, "Come on, mate, you've got to make the first move.”

Craig watched them both, jokingly adding, “Hey, this is a great chance to get to know each other better, don’t miss out.”

John got the hint immediately, wiped his hands, and quickly pulled out his phone, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Camila forced a smile and took out her phone too, and they exchanged numbers.

Erica sat to the side, covering her mouth to hide her giggles.

“Are you free tomorrow?” John asked, taking a deep breath to muster his courage.

“I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, not sure when I’ll be back,” Camila responded, her tone cool yet polite.

John’s face fell slightly upon hearing this, but he gently said, “Ah, well, let’s catch up when you return.”

Camila managed a polite smile.

The next day.

Camila took her packed suitcase and headed to Cedarhill Estate.

Last night before bed, Connor had inquired about her health and had canceled their morning workout. After breakfast, she was set to head to the airport.

Upon opening the door, she saw Connor in a black shirt and trousers, sitting on the sofa working on his laptop, his slender fingers tapping on the keyboard.

Camila watched him quietly.
