After the flight attendant left, Connor's peripheral vision caught Camila looking at him. He closed the folder he was holding and turned his head towards her, asking, "Why are you staring at me?" His voice was low and magnetic.
Camila was slightly startled, feeling like she had been caught red-handed, and nervously blurted out, "I regret asking for a glass of water. I should have ordered a coffee like you, to stay alert."
Connor's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze fixed on her lips as she spoke nonsense.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Camila added in a softer tone, "I’m feeling a bit sleepy."
Connor chuckled softly, "If you're sleepy, you should sleep."
Camila shook her head, determinedly saying, "No, I want to finish reading the materials." She turned her gaze back to her laptop.
Connor's lips curved into a subtle smile.
At that moment, the flight attendant returned with a tray, momentarily blocking Connor’s view, causing him to frown slightly.
The flight attendant bent down to place a coffee on the table in front of Connor, smiling as she said, “Sir, your coffee. Please enjoy.”
Connor leaned back and said indifferently, “Give it to that lady.”
The flight attendant paused, knowing without further explanation that he meant the only lady in the first-class cabin.
She nodded with a smile, carrying the coffee over to Camila, and softly said, “Ma’am, your coffee and water.”
Camila looked up, slightly confused, “I didn’t order any coffee.”
“It was your companion’s request,” the flight attendant explained with a smile.
Camila uttered “I see,” and said, “Thank you.”
