A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 177

October 10th.

Haylie's welcome party.

Connor was out of the office in the afternoon, and Camila left work on time to meet Erica. She changed into a dress at Erica's place and applied her makeup meticulously.

The party started at nine, so they had time to grab a quick meal beforehand. During dinner, Camila couldn't help but smile and occasionally giggle.

Watching her, Erica teased, "Why do you look like a girl in love?"

"Not at all," Camila replied shyly.

"Come on, spill the beans!" They grew up together, so Erica knew Camila's moods and quirks all too well and could tell something was up.

In a low voice, Camila confessed, "I think... Connor might like me."

"You realize only now?" Erica laughed. "I'm curious. How did you figure that out?"

Camila then shared everything about Connor's birthday, including her bold move to steal a kiss from him.

Erica scoffed, "A stolen kiss? How timid of you!"

Raising an eyebrow, she continued, "After he sobered up, you should've made your move. You might have been expecting by now."

Camila’s cheeks flushed as she glared at Erica.

Erica simply shrugged, "Come on, you two... have been close for a while; no need to be coy."

"Oh, please, go on," Erica urged, her curiosity piqued.

After a moment, Camila continued, "The other day, while shopping with Rita, she wanted to buy me a necklace worth two million, which shocked me. How could I accept such an expensive gift?"
