A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 172

After polishing off his slice of cake, Connor glanced at the time and stood up.

"It's getting late. I should get some rest and head home."

"Are you sure you're sober enough?" Camila asked, concerned. "Let me drive you."

Connor chuckled softly. "I'm much better now."

A sly twinkle appeared in his eye. "If you drive me, I'd worry about you walking home alone late at night. Wouldn’t that just bring us back to square one?"

Camila nodded in agreement. "Alright, just be safe, and text me when you get home."

"Please pack the cake for me," Connor suddenly said.

Camila looked at him, puzzled. "Why do you want to take it with you?"

"It's my birthday cake, so of course, I want to take it home," Connor explained.

"But you don’t even like sweets."

"Who said that? I think it’s delicious," Connor replied earnestly.

Camila couldn’t help but laugh. "Okay, I'll pack it up for you."

She placed the cake into a box and handed it to him. "Sir, good night."

"Good night," Connor said, his eyes softening.

After Connor left, Camila began tidying up the table. Her face lit up with a sweet smile.

It wasn’t long before she received a message from Connor confirming he had gotten home safely. "Those long legs do make a difference. He got home much faster than I would have," Camila thought to herself.

After washing up, Camila's mind was buzzing as she lay in bed, tossing and turning. She recalled how she had sneakily kissed Connor. Her heartbeat quickened, and she shyly buried her face in her pillow.

As the night deepened, she had no idea when she would calm down enough to fall asleep.
