Chapter 169
Camila felt a rush of panic and lowered her head. She took deep breaths, trying to stay calm, but the fluttering in her heart would not settle
It wasn’t until Connor slumped down like a sack of potatoes that Camila suddenly tightened her grip around him.
Their bodies pressed closely together, and Camila could distinctly feel the man’s breath and heartbeat. Her cheeks instantly felt as if they were scorched, buming hot.
“Mr. Connor. Camila whispered softly, her voice slightly husky
Connor seemed to hear someone calling him. He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something. However, his speech was slurred from the alcohol, only a few muddled syllables escoping
“What?” Camila couldn’t make out what he was saying.
She took a deep breath, intending to help Connor to the bedroom. But her strength was limited, and the weight of a drunken person felt. heavier. She struggled just to move him a few steps.
Unable to move him further, Camila shifted her efforts, managing to get him onto the sofa with difficulty.
Thud-
Following Connor’s momentum, Camila fell onto the sofa with him, collapsing into his arms.
The closeness sent a wave of panic through Camila. She immediately scrambled up from Connor.
Camila stood next to the sofa, taking deep breaths, fanning her face rapidly, but unable to cool the heat on her cheeks
She went to the bathroom to splash cold water on her face, slightly easing the burning sensation, and dried off. She then fetched a fresh towel from the cupboard and dampened it.
